@lemmy.worldAnything that doesn't conform neatly to their views is bias. My parents were like that when I was growing up; Rush Limbaugh and Focus on the Family all day on the radio, then my dad would watch the evening news and bitch about how biased it was. Completely nuts.
Trump, of course, has no idea what that means; he was just getting positive feedback talking about replacing judges and so he started counting up to increase the cheering.
Still trying to figure out what his endgame is, if he even has one. Is he trying to bankrupt the company to get some kind of tax write off? Does he genuinely have a plan at all? Or is he just in over his head, trying to figure it out as he goes, and failing?
If I am remembering correctly it’s pretty explicitly stated in The Enemy Within that neither Kirk is whole and they will die if they are not rejoined. In the end, though, both Kirks agree to be rejoined so in that manner it’s a very different situation than Tuvix.
What’s good for making more money is not always or even often good for what we would think of as customer-friendly business. If you can wring more money out of a few whales at the expense of pissing off customers who don’t create as much revenue, then in our current system that’s what shareholders apparently want.
Reddit wants more users in their official app where they can target them for ads, sell NFTs, and whatever other bullshit they want to sell. It doesn’t matter if the experience is worse, and it probably doesn’t really matter if a couple thousand 3PA users split for good. As long as they can tell investors that the official app use is growing and that they can target a greater percentage of users with ads and data, they feel like they won.
My FIL moved in with us about ten years ago, so the visit will go on until he dies.
He and MIL separated about 15 years ago (second time they were married), and after he was laid off with no retirement plan and too old to continue working in a dying industry, we took him in.
Honestly it has been a real struggle. I used to love the guy but at a distance; living with him his right wing extremism and racism became a real issue, especially when our kids are around. There was also a lot of “man of the house” issues once he moved in; when I was at work and he was home with my wife and kids, he seemed to think that he needed to take charge and my wife had a really hard time with that.
Now he’s physically not in great shape and is in mental decline, so we have different issues but still present. He’s become a really bad hoarder which is driving me nuts, but my wife absolutely refuses to give him any boundaries at all. Fortunately it mostly stays in his room, but for instance he can’t lay in bed normally anymore because he has boxes of random crap piled up at the top of his bed. He hasn’t been able to get into his closet in years. I can only imagine what kind of shit is living in there.
I’m to the point now where I sometimes find myself thinking about how much easier it would be if he would just die, which makes me feel terrible.
Sorry OP; this didn’t really answer your question but I needed to vent apparently.
