Its from a fine that doubles every day. There's no judge literally demanding google pay this amount of money. Makes a good headline, though.

FTA: "The company’s Russian subsidiary declared bankruptcy in 2022". Its just been doubling the whole time.

Wow, are you also an editor of www.myhotcomments.com? I love your work. That website is full of content! Love the rebrand!

Thank you. That answers my question. I figured you wanted to remain anonymous, but I liked your answer and I'll be interested in what you find.

I was trying to word my initial post in a way to prevent you from becoming defensive, perhaps I failed. Though, I do feel quoting yourself is a bit... gauche, no? Especially since you are remaining anonymous.

Are you a single person or a group of people? Do you have any credentials that you'd like to share that might give some context to your research?

Where is the quote in your bio from?

Nope:

Someone bothered to make this semi-transparent though, which amuses me.

Alberta has no rats. Rats are an invasive species in the Americas, and the Albertan government has effectively made the province rat-free.

(This also unfortunately means domestic rats are forbidden in Alberta).

I get your point of view but I’m not going to argue with you further. I have lost rights to my own bodily autonomy (I am equipped with a uterus) due to trumps judicial picks. I saw the damage done due to his COVID policies. I live in a red state. You can’t convince me that using my vote for Biden isn’t harm reduction.

When y’all decide to do something more with your time other than argue on the internet with people who mostly agree with you, let me know. I will vote in the most pragmatic way I can until there is a better option.

Someone close to me works for the federal government. He is administrative staff supporting government ecologists, and they’re fearing a Trump presidency. Project 2025 will destroy our national parks and ruin years of ecological research, at minimum.

Both candidates will send money in support of genocide. One candidate will dismantle our federal systems (the good ones people forget about) and kill trans kids.

I can’t in good conscience pretend both old men are equally harmful.

It’s completely allowed to both think Biden is the best pick while objectively knowing that he is controlled opposition. The system deserves to be mocked, and I’ll do it while voting for Sleepy Joe.

Why do you feel the need to defend this broken system with so much energy?
