High-fiving each other in front of a cheering audience when asked if they'd been arrested. Party of law and order, everyone. A sprinkle of personal responsibility in there too.

and a 17th-century textbook, amateur historian David Barton recently argued that Christianity has always formed the basis of American morality and thus is essential to Texas classrooms.

Christians and lying about history, name a more iconic duo

More likely it's homophobes

I've heard so much conflicting shit over this event that I have no idea what to believe

That's because reducing the bot problem isn't actually what they're trying to do. They're trying to patch the gaping hole in revenue that advertisers left in their exodus

Self reporting is also notoriously unreliable

It literally does not, as evidenced by the state of chargers in the 2000s and early 2010s, before the EU threatened to regulate if phone companies didn't get their shit together. Back then you'd have a different charger design for virtually every phone, including new models of the same phone. USB only became ubiquitous because the EU told companies to stop fucking around and legislate themselves, or the EU would make formal legislation. Most companies got the memo, but Apple decided to be cunts for long enough that the EU decided they needed to finally step in.

Musk fanboys are like MAGAs, nothing will change their opinion

Ah fair, apologies if I misread the tone

Synthetic isn't inherently bad just because some synthetic things are bad. Until we get more information on this thing, your snark is entirely baseless

and that you have to do the same as a moral imperative

Railing against this fact doesn't magically make it untrue. Not voting for the lesser evil means you don't care which evil wins. If you legitimately think GOP rule isn't any worse than Dem rule, then by all means don't vote or vote third party. But if you think Christian fascism + neoliberalism is worse than just neoliberalism, then once the primaries are over you need to vote accordingly. Voter disenfranchisement is an age-old tactic you're comment is falling right into.

And I say this all as a market socialist, so don't for a second think I like the Dems

Library Genesis (www.libgen.is) is an extremely useful resource for textbooks. Not guaranteed that it'll have what you're looking for, and I don't know much about it outside of the english language, but there's a decent chance you'll find what you need.
