gotta love conservative-minded crowd: they are all about “privacy”, personal freedoms etc. but at the same time can’t keep their hands out of others’ pants (proverbially and literally) and are nosy about everything. Isn’t voting a personal choice? If my spouse doesn’t tell me who they vote for I’ll just say it’s their right and move on with my life… but not cons… noooooo. Gotta stick their noses everywhere
any time you buy DRM’d content you’re subject to revocation of rights to use it. So buying such content along with purchase of devices geared specifically for DRM-only content is doomed from the beginning.
time to make it stick. from now on I shall reference Musk as Dipsh*** Musk.
that’s not good news for her. Even in best case scenario when they do not want anything in return - optics will be that she’s about billionaires and not commonfolk. Whereas POTUS45 supported by Koch brothers and such on a Qpaints him as folk hero… bad news to start, now we mix in the part where they want something in return… it gets worse yet.
then support for other parties should’ve been declared much earlier, never dangled like carrot in front of Dems, 'cause by now you should know it won’t work. I get it. In present system there’s very little chance of third party getting to power, but look at Canada - NDP was able to wield power with much lower representation. How? Minority government forces compromise and concessions. In other words it can be done, but work needs to start right after prior election, not before current
funny that nobody argued opposite: all the new services are primarily streaming/hosted and otherwise “not here”. New crop of tech solutions requires crap-ton of bandwidth. So caps prevent those companies from doing ripping off customers in other areas. How un-Republican is that? They are getting in the way of enterprises making a living! So the most Republican thing to do would be to let foxes watch the henhouse. Ask ISPs to regulate themselves so that “everybody”'s (and I mean every enterprise) happy. In other words getting in the way of this proposal is very much just “polid’ticking” trying to undo what dems are doing regardless whether it’s actually a conservative thing to do or not.
this was the first and only administration on my memory to openly support unions. They’ve done quite a few things to improve lives. They did help out their rich donors/friends/sympathithers but not even close to the scale POTUS45 done it.
In all honesty both Dems and Reps should go. Country deserves pluralism and not the false duality. BUT right now, at this moment in time Dems are the only real shot at moving forward. After election, start up the grill and hold their feet to fire and FORCE them to change then otherwise rally behind any other party and make damn sure they win next ellection. Doing so at 11th hour is reckless
the way US system works… they are 🙁
…becsuse POTUS45 (becoming POTUS47) will stop weapon supply to Israel, right?
some crypto learned to be efficient, others did not. We still do have crypto-mining botnets. Crypto remains to be useless to humanity and very profitable for few. Same with AI. Same with stock market. Instead of producing something of value we keep on burning through resources while selected few enjoy bonfire others have to fight to stay alive…
not only does he burn through cash, he burns through resources making life worse now for everybody: AI rivals crypto in resource waisting while not contributing at all to any improvements. I fail to see “brighter future” for us through AI as it is energy-intensive, unsustainable endeavor for which we are woefully unprepared both materially (energy efficiency, semiconductor manufacturing/recycling, etc) and psychologically (ethics etc.). Yeah, grand on paper, terrible in reality
while Israel is clearly wrong bombing and killing civilians, Hamas took first step in escalation of violence in the region setting both sides on trajectory of mutual destruction. I am not defending Israel, but any reporting on the issue has to acknowledge both systemic abuse from Israel side and mass killing campaign unleashed by Hamas.
that didn’t take long.
clearly this alludes to vote dilution by “voting small” meaning left vote gets fragmented. The very sad part is - she is right and people SHOULD vote FOR something rather than against, but system is stacked for political duopoly with a slight preference to the right. In other words it not pragmatic to “vote small” under system where small get ignored and society gets polarized to the point of always voting against. What she should be pushing for is a change of a system, otherwise communities she cares for so much are going to remain political hostages of the left because the right found “the other” they can rally against in them. There are only two rational decisions: remain under current system and support whatever big entity is further to the left or stage a revolution/rebellion forcing system change to allow everyone to “vote small”. Silence is not working.
putin said same thing about tanks, long range rockets and planes… Ukraine got all of the above and nothing followed. Those are hollow threats of a desperate maniac who’s cornered himself
he’s got no lines to cross… he lives on yhe other side of humanity. However lines werr and will be crossed when US public elects him.
you do realize how easily it could be spun on the other side, right? “Crooked Marthe supports crooked Kamala. They all are thieves and the stole my 2020!” see? that is what I mean. Right side is Ok ignoring reality if it gets in the way of idolizing POTUS45 but will latch onto any spin “proving” the left is corrupt.
endorsement from convicted felon is of questionable value IMO.
…so whoever didn’t vote Haris effectively voted trump… we’ve been saying it along that all of that moaning about Dems would lead to Rep win. here it is on display
