Wow. Reading this comment has lowered the IQ of everyone in this thread...

So, Trump is better? Yeah, we know he sucks. We also know Trump is far, far worse. But you know this, don't you?

What is your plan, exactly? By not voting Biden, you help Trump, and he WILL directly cause far more death and suffering.

Yup, the West wanted war so bad they invaded...wait, no, that's obviously bullshit.

Swapping one states' propaganda for another isn't enlightened, its just plain stupid.

Oh, I totally agree with your views here, I think. I guess it just bothers me whenever I see some "obvious" solution on some article or headline. The ones who built these monuments achieved something truly incredible, and we still can't explain how they did so.

I have a hard time seeing a raft as having the necessary water displacement capability to handle that kind of weight, thought. And they left a written record regarding much smaller craft; so one obvious question, where's the record of any more advanced ship building?

I guess it's just the fact that it's actually really not easy at all to get such enormous chunks of stone to float. But, I also cannot offer any other explanation, so take that as you will...

I seriously doubt it; the extreme weight of these stones far exceeded the load capacity of any known Egyptian water craft. By, like, a lot.

And I guess you're just asking questions??

Not every act is a sign of somebody having an agenda or whatever...

No. Read it again. I never said allegation. I never referenced court proceedings. I said the act of rape is indefensible.

If you commit rape, there is no "decent" defense. If you didn't, then my comment doesn't apply. Simple as that.

There is no excuse for sexual violence, and there never will be.

Your reply is completely unrelated to what I said. There is no such thing as a decent defense for raping someone. If they didn't rape anyone, good! If they did, that is an indefensible act by its very nature.

I made no comment at all on whether or not any specific individual is guilty or not. So I'm really confused what your point is here...?

Your choice of words was absolutely terrible. There is no such thing as a decent defense of rape. Now, an effective defense in our busted legal system? That's a whole different story. But "decent" does not apply in cases of sexual assault and violence. Ever.

I've always figured a company will go public before enshitification truly gets underway. It's kinda the first step of the process.

I guess my argument is that until that pressure to appease the stockholders exists, there's not a whole lot of motive to justify enshitification. It's hard for me to imagine the process happening any other way.

So, I suppose you can count my vote as being that going public will likely come first. Just my two cents, though, and I don't know anything anyway! :-p

I'm a little bit confused by your post. Publicly-traded companies, by and large, place extraordinary emphasis on short term, quarter by quarter profit. Seems like a very strong contender for the root cause if the issue?

Enshitification is about monetization, getting more money from the same customer base.

Doesn't this statement support publicly traded status being a riot cause, though?

I must assume I'm misunderstanding your argument...?
