That’s when it’s time to shame, ridicule, ostracize, and exile. People like that do not deserve the benefits of living in a society.

Do you want a fascist dicatorship? 'Cause letting assholes be dangerously wrong without pushback is how you get a fascist dictatorship.
…says the guy that thinks there’s going to be a brokered convention that picks somebody other than Biden.
Still less radiation than coal plants release in normal operation.
Inb4 the “[Choco] Leibniz — [Fig] Newton cookie controversy!”
That’s possible, but if that were the case I’d expect there to be a bunch of illegitimate children at his funeral.
I was gonna comment “yeah, but Leibniz fucks!” but then I decided to fact-check myself.
“Leibniz never married, and his funeral was only attended by his personal secretary.”
…well, shit. The meme checks out!
That’s nothin’! You wanna see some weird bombs? Watch this!
Every definitive trait has some counter example that still counts because people “feel” it’s good enough.
There’s an aphorism in statstics / science: “all models are wrong, but some are useful.” I feel that the distinction between genuine off-road-capable SUVs and crossovers/tall cars/glorified station wagons or minivans is useful, even if it isn’t completely definitive. Generally speaking, if it’s a unibody vehicle it probably isn’t very good off-road, and therefore doesn’t really deserve to be called an “SUV.”
So does a 2wd “suv” (by your definition) then get declassified?
A 2WD SUV is less general-purpose, but I think they still have enough potential to count (think desert-racing prerunners, which are often 2WD but legitimate off-road vehicles).
Plenty of large “tall station wagons” are unibody. About the only legitimately capable offroad 4x4s I know of that are unibody are the Jeep Cherokee (the old one) and maybe something like a Suzuki Jimny (edit: nope, even that tiny thing is body-on-frame).
(Consider the difference between a (unibody) Toyota Highlander and a (body-on-frame) Toyota 4Runner, for example: only the latter is a “real” SUV, in terms of being capable off-road.)
I am sure there’s a real distinction
Body-on-frame with a pickup truck chassis vs. unibody construction.
I barely watched any of them, but Sampson Boat Co (the people rebuilding Tally Ho) put together some moderately high-effort sponsor segments, with a melodramatic plot and hammy acting and costumes made out of construction materials and such.
“Israeli structural intransigence” is also not “the United States.”
Those are not businesses. They are free projects which a dedicated person (or group of people) donate their time and energy to produce.
…and? That’s what makes them the best part of the Internet!
For most it is a money pit, but to them the passion is worth more. They do it for the love, not the money.
And it doesn’t stop them from existing, proving that the Internet does not actually have to run on profit.
This sounds like the kind of thing a Zoomer who has no memory of life before the Internet – or the Internet of the '90s before the advertisers got a hold of it, for that matter – would write.
AFAIK all the Lemmy apps have ads too.
LOL, nope. Try getting your apps from F-Droid instead of the Google Play Store.
Do you have any fucking clue at all just how much money projects like Wikipedia make through donations? Do you realize that Jellyfin has even gone so far as to ask people to stop donating because they have too much money?
Your claim that advertising “scales” and donations don’t is a straight-up Iie.
Go ask Wikipedia about their business model. Or the Linux kernel. Or any number of other Free Software projects that neither charge users a fee nor show ads.
It is a bullshit false dichotomy to claim that the only options for business models are charging fees or showing ads. Knock it off with the misinformation.
I got a copy of Turbolinux 6 (released in 2000) from somebody at a Hamfest, but couldn’t get it to install and run.
Two years later, I was successful in running Debian and Gentoo.
