  • Because they’re not actually against pedophiles. They are pedophiles, but they can’t admit that. So they claim other people are pedophiles, like transgenders, and use that to shift the conversation away from the real issues. So were instead having to deal with defending baseless accusations with no proof, while they slip through in the chaos.

    And since the media has abandoned any semblance of journalistic integrity under their oligarch owners, they are failing their duty to accurately educate the populace on both current and past events like they once did fairly reliably.





  • The issue is what the valuation of the seized assets are. The asset seizure is only to fulfill the monetary debt since he cannot pay the entire amount in cash. If he could pay it in full, there would be no seizure (unless the seizure itself was a separate part of the judgement). The valuation is essentially what someone is willing to pay for it, and in this case, there are only 2 bidders to value it.

    The Onion’s bid was not the highest bid, but does have the backing of the family. Jones on the other hand also has a right for the valuation to be as correct as possible to fulfill his debt. This type of situation isn’t particularly unique, and it’s not exactly new.

    The Judge could end up deciding that The Onion’s bid goes through due to family backing since the debt is to them and the asset being sold is directly relevant to the judgement, but the valuation of the opposing bid is counted against the debt, which is the only thing Jones is really entitled to here.







  • The Senate is. The House is not. The artificial limit of 435 set in 1911 has turned it into a pseudo-Senate and done a lot of harm to this country. With the same population representation as then, we should have around 1600 Representatives now.

    A lot of the issues we currently have in Congress simply wouldn’t exist with the House operating as it was designed.

    This is where the issue is. The Senate works as intended, it is meant to give the States equal power so a State like California can’t just dictate what Delaware does. The House is supposed to represent based on population. The arbitrarily low cap has turned it into a second pseudo-Senate.

    The House should have something like 1600 members to properly represent States. Every House seat should represent roughly the same amount of people, but that’s not how it works now because of the limit. Two Representatives from different states can represent massively different sized populations.


  • Not at all. It just depends on who you’re trying to reach. If your target demo isn’t very specific, you could get many more views at a lower cost.

    If your product is only relevant to 18-35 year olds then that’s probably not a good idea. But if your target demo is basically anyone, then general marketing works well. A Nissan Leaf has a much larger potential market than an Audi E-Tron for instance.

    You can also have separate targeted marketing to ensure specific demos get more focus or have specific targeted variations of the ad campaign.


  • You seem to forget that not all advertising is targeted. Some is just general market advertising and will play everywhere.

    It’s cheaper because it’s not targeted, but also can be a better option depending on what you’re trying to market and who you’re trying to reach. It also means the ads will play to people who don’t care as a side effect.



  • What a surprise. The bid the families are backing to win despite not being the highest, is being challenged.

    The higher “backup” bid is a company setup by Alex Jones sycophants to maintain control of their propaganda brand, despite the purpose of the entire defamation lawsuit and the reason for it being sold in the first place.

    They can go fuck themselves. The reason it is being sold off in the first place is the damage done to the families. Their opinion should have weight, if not outright make the decision of who wins the bid.

    I’ve never heard of Hydro power boiling water. Usually hydro power is natural or pumped storage.

    You’re just taking water from an upper reservoir and dropping it to a downstream river. Either a naturally-filled reservoir/lake, or a pumped storage reservoir where you use other cheap power during low usage periods to pump that water to a higher reservoir to utilize later. The pump doesn’t heat the water, it just moves it uphill to utilize later, like the Taum Sauk Hydroelectric Power Station in Missouri.
