Hell, why even have organic search results at all? Just rank results by how much each site owner is willing to ~~bribe~~ pay. A protection racket for the 21st century.

"That's a nice website you've got there. It'd be a shame if it got no visitors."

What a waste of bandwidth, energy and time.

I can't tell if this is satire or not, and that is more than a little concerning.

Sure, let's erode the idea that words have actual meaning some more. After all, there's no need to change laws if we can just change the definition of the things they cover instead.

Maybe the meaning of 'taxation' should be changed to 'racket' while we're at it.

Something here is "void and vacant" to be sure, but it isn't Biden's pardons.

"You can have two."

"Snack-sized packs?"

"No."

I can sincerely say that I'm certain the results will be exactly as riveting as they are productive.

That sounds like an even better reason to vote against them than the original bad decision already was. It's always the coverup that gets them in the end, isn't it?

If you can't operate in compliance with local law, you don't get to operate at all. Welcome to the EU where laws still matter, Elon.

I suppose doubling down on being an utter useless fool is still easier on the ego than owning up to having negligently murdered your own daughter.

So he's a coward too. Lovely.

In a startling display of irony, 2 tonnes of CO2 was produced powering the GPU's required to synthesize this image.

They won’t have your back when push comes to shove.

Not only that, but every historical example I can think of clearly demonstrates that Russia have only ever considered any nation falling under their sway as vassals, at best - a resource to be exploited for Russian gain. I know of no evidence that Russia even understands the notion of win-win situations; they've always been transactional zero-sum gamers. No wonder Trump likes them so much.

Up until recently, that was - from the perspective of a minor state caught between large players - one of the primary differences between the US on one hand and Russian on the other, with China waffling somewhere in between. Sure, the US threw their weight around too, but at least they had the good sense to ensure that those on their team got sufficient benefits out of it that people wanted to stay on the team.

Then Trump went and fucked that up royally seven ways to Sunday.

Now, if someone wants free trade and a chance of peace and prosperity, there's really only the EU left.
