ArbiterXero@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•It’s official: NASA calls on Crew Dragon to rescue the Starliner astronauts423·9 months agoI disagree. SpaceX is rumoured to have hired an “Elon babysitter” and Gwynne Shotwell seems to know what she’s doing.
But musk sucks.
The good news is that he’s so busy with Twitter and Tesla that he’s left spaceX alone.
I think Elon has become (or perhaps always was) an ass, but somehow he knows how to hire some pretty smart people.
ArbiterXero@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•An $18 Big Mac meal sparked a revolt against high prices. Companies are finally listening2·11 months agoWe promised those shareholders that we’d pay you as little as we can…… you wouldn’t want to make us liars, would you?

ArbiterXero@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•An $18 Big Mac meal sparked a revolt against high prices. Companies are finally listening10·11 months agoThat’s just it, as a business owner, some years may be good, and some years may be bad.
So some years your profit should be less.
That doesn’t mean you’re going under. Less profit is still profit. That means everyone (including yourself) has been paid and you have money left over.
But because CEOs are paid mostly in stock, the profits have to rise every year, for no necessary reason besides “I like money”
And eventually that’ll break, and it’ll happen all at once.
Fucking eh!
If you spend 10 minutes looking into Dolly Parton, you’ll find a Fucking Angel.
Legitimately. Look into her reading program. Not just the news articles, but the written deals. She makes sure that if her program is a success, that the county is contracted to keep it going FOR-FUCKING-EVER. Her legacy is generations of kids who graduate high school because she sent them books.
And that’s just ONE thing she did, with a legacy that will outlast every one of us.
We ride at dawn.
ArbiterXero@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Dog attack: 6-week-old Ezra Mansoor dies after Husky attacks sleeping newborn20·11 months agoEven people sometimes just wake up day and snap for reasons beyond our control.
Now you’re generally right, most of these cases there’s some meaningful details missing and the “no history of attacks” is a lie.
We just can’t broadly apply that because we don’t know which one isn’t a lie.
ArbiterXero@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•The first social media babies are adults now. Some are pushing for laws to protect kids from their parents’ oversharing24·11 months agoAgreed, but the allure of fame and Facebook/YouTube made this behaviour worse.
Or at least gave the mom the tools to make it worse.
ArbiterXero@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•The first social media babies are adults now. Some are pushing for laws to protect kids from their parents’ oversharing77·11 months agoPerfect. Zero notes.
Social media should not be for kids.

ArbiterXero@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Women on Supreme Court Consider Need for Life-Saving Abortions23·1 year agoThe problem with medical exemptions is that doctors aren’t trained nor certified to interpret legalese.
So even if the law is fairly clear, it’s just not useful
ArbiterXero@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Why San Francisco is considering a bill that would let shoppers sue grocers closing stores5·1 year agoI don’t see how this works.
If the store isn’t profitable, the company needs to close it.
If they’re closing it in bad faith, in theory you can open a new one.
A better idea would be that grocery stores must own or mortgage the land they use, and forfeit the land upon exit.
That way the chain can’t hold the location without a store in it.
ArbiterXero@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Disney, DeSantis' allies reach settlement in lawsuit5·1 year ago“The agreement came a day after the appointment of a new board member, replacing a DeSantis-appointed board chairman who was a Disney critic. Under the deal, covenants and a development agreement Disney supporters on the board made with the company just before the state takeover would be dropped and the new board agreed to operate under an earlier plan.”
Hahahahahaha Let’s read between the lines…
The deal was reached shortly after a DeSantis sycophant was removed from the chair and replaced with “someone”. Not sure who, but that’s a fucking statement. The agreement in the end was “let’s ignore the blank checks the last board wrote on their way out as DeSantis packed the board with assholes and act like this never happened.
“Let’s just go back to our original deal” is the essence of it.
Disney :5 DeSantis :0
They wrote it like it was some sort of compromise, but that’s no compromise. That’s “please stop Disney, I can’t take it anymore”
I really really hate that this made me root for Disney because they are an evil corporation, but God damn does it feel good to watch him drown in his own stupidity.

I don’t personally believe in it, but I also don’t care if you do.
ArbiterXero@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Joe Rogan and Bret Weinstein Promote AIDS Denialism to an Audience of Millions27·1 year agoMany reasonable people believe all sorts of nutty shit.
Until it becomes actively harmful, I don’t care much.
ArbiterXero@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Joe Rogan and Bret Weinstein Promote AIDS Denialism to an Audience of Millions4·1 year agoMy side? lol you’re assuming a lot, you don’t know my side, you just know the I think rogan is an asshat.
He’s got a big platform and he’s allowing the promotion of some fairly harmful content…… that in itself seems like a problem, no?
I definitely believe that he just “doesn’t like to be told what to do”, that’s entirely his vibe.
I’m curious what you mean by “progressives trying to live out other peoples lives”
ArbiterXero@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Joe Rogan and Bret Weinstein Promote AIDS Denialism to an Audience of Millions4·1 year agoI would vote for x over y is an endorsement.
ArbiterXero@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Joe Rogan and Bret Weinstein Promote AIDS Denialism to an Audience of Millions3·1 year agoOk, I’ll bite, you don’t believe he’s changed?
Or you think he’s still very reasonable?
Make your case
The problem is that Apple is right here.
