there are humans who actively avoid all politics, and in the united states this is actually very easy to do.

Man, I dont even live in the US, and US politics is inescapable. Of course Canada’s political climate is directly affected by what’s going on down there, so It’s probably harder to avoid here than somewhere across an ocean.

They don’t hate America, they hate what it’s becoming. Which is to say, they want to go back to pre-civil rights, when you were effectively guaranteed success by being a straight, white, and male.

Aren’t you supposed to plan appearances like this ahead of time to prevent this exact thing from happening?

Sometimes people do the right thing for the wrong reasons.

Well obviously that sub-1% revenue they get from places like the board of education means that the state has a controlling share, right?

Ask your doctor if Posobiec is right for you

Donald J. Trump’s allies want him to talk about the issues

His entire political campaign strategy has been about attacking his opponent personally. He did it with Hillary in 2016, With Biden in 2020, and again with Biden in 2024. He tried to do the same with Harris, but he hasn’t found something that sticks yet and that’s causing a lot of problems.

This is what you get when you promote a guy who can’t do anything but insult people, even if he will agree to sign anything for anyone that says “You’re doing a good job, champ”

If my 2nd grade self is to be believed, the “I am rubber you are glue” defense is unbeatable.

Lets see how it plays put for Trump.

If your goal in running for Congress is to make a profit from stock trading using information you have access to that the public does not, you probably should be discouraged from running.

Nah, those guys want an entirely different flavor of authoritarian regime.

I dunno man, there have been enough weird political events in the last 8 years that wouldnt feel out of place in a comedy movie. When they happen in real life it’s actually scary.

I want politics to be boring again.

I wonder what happens to the GOP when Trump dies.

A lot of the people that vote for them currently have no problems with cognitive dissonance. They’ll just continue to vote for whomever Fox says because they’re the best shot they have at stopping those evil liberal elites.

This is one of those weird things that venture capital does sometimes.

VC is is injecting cash into tech right now at obscene levels because they think that AI is going to be hugely profitable in the near future.

The tech industry is happily taking that money and using it to develop what they can, but it turns out the majority of the public don’t really want the tool if it means they have to pay extra for it. Especially in its current state, where the information it spits out is far from reliable.

I miss when viruses were fun instead of extortionate

With removable batteries is that there is actually a legitimate reason for getting rid of them, in that it’s much harder to waterproof a device with a removable battery.

I’d still like to see the option available, but I can at least understand why it’s not from a practical standpoint. The only reason carrier locks exist is to increase the cost of change for the end user, making them less likely to switch providers.

You dont need to remind us to sympathize with the people you laid off, Phil. Thats the whole reason why your PR is bad right now.

Its the best when you buy an LP and get a download code for the album as well.

I listen to LPs mostly when I want music to be the primary thing im doing. There is a whole ritual involved with putting a record on. Whereas, sometimes I just want to listen to something while I’m doing dishes or driving, and then playing an MP3 over a Bluetooth speaker from my phone is just infinitely more convenient.

I think most people here will be grinding their own coffee per batch. It’s typically step 1 or 2 when getting into the hobby, the other being buying better coffee.

That being said, if you do have pre-ground coffee try to use it as quickly as possible as it will lose flavor much faster than whole beans. Store it in a dark, air-tight container.

That tin box you have was originally used for loose leaf tea and is widely available if you want more

As a fellow IT person, Cloud is the same as any new Buzzword tech.

It’s an especially good fit for a handful of use cases, but the execs hear about it through whatever channels they frequent and think that it will solve a bunch of problems that dont exist.
