I drove on a road in the winter that apple maps thought was closed. It freaked out the entire way.

Software can make mistakes.

Google's TOS gives them immunity for these types of errors, just pay attention to road signs people ffs....

The implication is that you are attacking the defenseless. There is none more defenseless than the dead.

The online world breeds extremism. It wasn't too long ago criticizing someone on their obituary was considered classless. This is the world we have made.

Gary Larson cartoon incident

One of Gary Larson's Far Side cartoons shows two chimpanzees grooming. One finds a blonde human hair on the other and inquires, "Conducting a little more 'research' with that Jane Goodall tramp?"[114] Goodall herself was in Africa at the time. The Jane Goodall Institute thought the cartoon was in bad taste and had its lawyers draft a letter to Larson and his distribution syndicate in which they described the cartoon as an "atrocity". They were stymied by Goodall herself: when she returned and saw the cartoon, she stated that she found the cartoon amusing.[115]

Since then, all profits from sales of a shirt featuring this cartoon have gone to the Jane Goodall Institute. Goodall wrote a preface to The Far Side Gallery 5, detailing her version of the controversy, and the institute's letter was included next to the cartoon in the complete Far Side collection.[116] She praised Larson's creative ideas, which often compare and contrast the behaviour of humans and animals. In 1988, when Larson visited Goodall's research facility in Tanzania,[115] he was attacked by a chimpanzee named Frodo.

Covid was created in a lab funded by the Chinese and the NIH, that's accepted as fact at this stage.

I don't think I'm living in lala land if i say the US Gov't has any stake in avoiding blame.

"Foreign operatives were legitimately engaging in information warfare against the American people" - says the government at the time, therein lies the concern.

No Government should regulate the internet.

It's an explanation, not a justification.

You're letting past gov'ts away with a lot apparently but overall i agree.

The Overton window shifted too far and now an egomaniac is in charge of its reset.

The left does not equal the democrat party. The right does not equate to the republican party.

My point is that there is open levels of collusion with the Biden admin (and Obama earlier) and media corps which have given the Trump admin cover to openly talk about their "favored companies"

Relax guy, politicians are not your friends.

I do not like the Trump administration, but they don't exist in a vacuum.

It seems the most of their policies are bitter reactions to perceived misdeeds from "the left".

Corruption definitely crosses the aisle.
