Concur with you… And I live in CA where we do vote Democrat. While I would like to disagree, even Democrats I know veer away from politicians viewed as “too progressive”. They fear that true progressive agendas would alienate others within politics and result in nothing getting accomplished. For example, some love the idea of Bernie but believe hes too idealistic, “wishy washy” and that his plans are too. Too much for others within Congress to get on board and ally on the goals. If this is already coming from some Democrats in CA, I’m not surprised by swing states…

I 100% believe you. We may not like the reality but its there.

I’m really scared for future elections when the GOP has a candidate that is actually charismatic or articulate…

Its still insane how many active users they have compared to Mastodon. BTW its 500+ million to Mastodons 1 million. Pretty insane number comparison

Unsure. I can only go off anecdotes and what ive been told but maybe that illusion works on the kids?

At 3:50 it looks like the phone is being opened to watch something. . Looks large to me

The tech specs here

Anyways, that was his reasoning. Lol its still a nice phone. Maybe he used same justification to get this nicer phone with his wife. He has the Google fold while the other guy has Samsung.

I know a few people at work that have foldables. Both are not going back and the crease really isnt noticeable.

One guy has the Google Pixel Fold. His kids share his phone to leave his wife’s phone alone when they are watching something. It makes it easier to share with his kids because its a larger screen. When it was smaller they fought more because they couldn’t all watch on a small screen. Hes reaping benefits too. Ive seen him have it open to watch NFL highlights lol.

The other person I know is a manager and its just really nice.

I don’t have one myself because its pretty $$$. If I valued phones I would pick one up myself. Year after year they have gotten significantly better with the crease and hardware. They’re often very beast with hardware features.

Question, what separate device is best and most privacy focused? I just imagine getting a firestick, google Chromecast, etc would also give away data?

I find any assault to voting rights the most undemocratic and unamerican thing you can do

Checks out. Looks like a good boy to me!!

Guardians of the Galaxy on my Steam deck. I would imagine the fps and graphics would be better on a more capable device but its been fun. Great dialogue, music, and settings.

I think Mark Cuban was primarily Republican until Trump. If you google, there have been many comments hes made against Trump because he knows Trump is a trash leader

Suspending the account imo just brings more attention! More attention More money!!

Ah hoy! Just did a quick search. Seems the quality has significantly increased there too!

Thank you! I remember my local library had dvds. I don’t remember any BluRays. Will check it out!!

Understood. I honestly don’t know many alternatives to Redbox besides those for renting movies… Even then, as others have mentioned, there’s a difference between streaming and playing a blu ray. All movies I rent are <$2.50 from Redbox, nicer quality vs. >$5 Amazon.

Personally a little sad over this. Have a bluray player and sometimes I want to be able to choose and pick a newer movie in 4k… Much cheaper than Amazon and Vudu to rent.

Hi! Apologies. Other people were naming other potential candidates without further justification so I didn’t think I need to.

Pete is young, intelligent and very reasonable. Back when he was running in 2020 and when I was doing my own research I found that our political views aligned the most. He is young and white so he has that going for him if looking for general appeal lol

I currently have Newsom as governor and while he did a great job with the pandemic and healthcare policy in general (I was on calls with his team and many other hospital systems), I hate how he protects corporate donors like PGE. Overall though he signs many good bills into law. I’m just concerned he can be bought and he’s more of a corporate ally than he gives off.

With the media coverage I didn’t state whether or not it would be successful. I’m not even sure if we should change at this point because there’s a lot that goes into that transition (voters need time to know candidates, campaign ads and efforts likely planned out until November, etc). All I said is they can likely pick anyone and there would be significant media coverage. DNC nominates X! Then many articles around who is X! Again, I’m voting any way to defeat Trump.

Would love Pete Buttigieg over Newsom but honestly will take anyone that can beat Trump

Anyone they pick from now will get name recognition no matter who they are from media presence alone. Changing candidates at this stage will be significant news.
