Neat, a potential FCC violation. I don't know if this violates the advertisement disclosure requirement for political ads, but I bet someone at the FCC does.

Feeling cute, thought I'd submit a possible violation to the FCC, might submit more later, idk

Nice, tried the link and they couldn't even set up https. Their target base won't even be able to type that link out lol.

[-] [email protected] 48 points 7 months ago

One random thing that really annoys me is that the site http://shakespeare.mit.edu does not properly forward http requests to https although they have an https version of the site.

[-] [email protected] 32 points 7 months ago

Funniest thing I've ever seen is the docs for Nginx do the same, no http to https redirection. I mean, you would hope that the maintainers for the biggest web server in the world would be able to manage that but somehow... No they don't.

Conservatives: "STOP MAKING EVERYTHING POLITICAL"

I went hiking recently. State park, at least a mile from the campground, peaceful and quiet.

Then I noticed something scrawled on one of the trail markers. Some dipshit wrote "Fuck Joe Biden" on it.

Holy shit, how miserable do you have to be to do that? To carry a marker and tag a tree just to express how you can't stop thinking about the guy, and make it other people's problem, even in the middle of nowhere when you're not even around.

That yellowing of Tesla screens is some bullshit

[-] [email protected] 120 points 7 months ago

Teslas are built like shit. What do you expect

[-] [email protected] 81 points 7 months ago

A Tesla bro to come in and tell you how you’re wrong.

The link redirects to an Americans for prosperity form, hosted on an domain hosted by the i-360 political data platform. And also...

"Americans for Prosperity (AFP), founded in 2004, is a libertarian conservative political advocacy group in the United States affiliated with brothers Charles Koch and the late David Koch.[6] As the Koch family's primary political advocacy group, it is one of the most influential American conservative organizations.[7][8]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americans_for_Prosperity#:~:text=Americans%20for%20Prosperity%20(,%5B7%5D%5B8%5D

I wonder what that mushbrain even thinks "Bidenomics" is, like the government's been doing anything that isn't basic capitalist theory.

I've been all around the country, and ofc there are exceptions but radio in general is ridiculously conservative. If I have to hear another Christmas song I might just lose it...

[-] [email protected] 61 points 7 months ago

That's because a great deal of it is owned by Sinclair, and they love putting right-wing messages on their radio and TV stations in one form or another.

[-] [email protected] 27 points 7 months ago

Oh yes Sinclair Media the only company that could make Clear Channel(I Heart Media) look like the good guys

There was probably a dog within a 2 mile radius.

[-] [email protected] 32 points 7 months ago

Usually about 2 feet radius. I am rarely in the car without him.

I had a pokemon go player who's nickname was "fikjoebiden" lol

I've found the censorship on things like youtube and such to be wildly inconsistent. I've seen obvious nazi or racist profile pics on youtube that have been up for years. Post a video though of a band playing a copywritten piece and it is down in a few weeks.

[-] [email protected] 38 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Before Musk, Twitter claimed that they couldn't effectively censor Nazi stuff because it was too similar to what Republicans post, so... yeah.

It wasn't from some stupid commercial?

[-] [email protected] 27 points 7 months ago

Yeah. That's what I'm thinking. I've seen websites on my car display that match up with the commercial that's playing. If that website paid for ad time, then there's nothing shady going on here. Well, no more shady than any other advertising.

[-] [email protected] 29 points 7 months ago

They have different metadata during regular commercials. And doing metadata during songs. This only shows up when the “DJ” is speaking.
