None of the stuff they're doing yet is stuff that can be blocked by the president, most of it is happening in right wing courts and the supreme court that Trump/conservatives rammed a conservative majority into

If trump gets elected there are more things he can push through, and they won't have to worry about a veto if they try to pass an actual law rather than using court rulings. Republicans put a lot of time and planning into this project 2025 planning, it's not just some ultra right winger dudes in a house throwing stuff together, it's a lot of political and legal experts working together and putting a lot of time and effort into planning these things and figuring out how to force each of them into existence in ways that can't be blocked or stopped

I don't like Biden and would prefer basically any other left candidate, but if Trump gets elected there is a lot more that they can do without fear of it being blocked. That's why they're not doing all of these right now, they're just getting things in place to do them day 1 if Trump gets elected

Aoc can't run until next election, Michelle Obama has zero interest in being president (didn't even want to be first lady), Elizabeth Warren isn't much younger than trump and Biden (and a lot of moderates still won't vote for a woman, see: Hillary Clinton), and Jill Stein is just as old too and part of the green party which isn't going to even have a chance at winning a presidential election until there is no climate left to change unfortunately

There is! ... If you're an ultra conservative right wing trump supporter

They're trying to get this stuff done now, iirc the whole thing about project 2025 is they want everything queued up for the first days that Trump is in office so that he can hit the ground running

My wife and I are casually looking for our first house (probably can't buy for ~3 years), pretty much every house is trying to sell for 50%-75% more now than it was in 2018/2019 even though there have been no changes or improvements (we've tracked down listing photos from the last sale).

I'm looking forward to some sweet sweet schadenfreude from firms and individuals that bought "investment properties" losing a ton of money from housing prices finally crashing back to semi-realistic prices

I don't think they meant it was inferior, just that chatgpt is only mostly functioning

I know it's probably meant to be semi-serious but I can't stop giggling at their faces

The first lever I see in each group.

The only subscriptions I am willing to pay for:

Phone bill - no choice
Internet bill - no choice
Insurance - no choice
World of Warcraft - sue me
Costco membership - worth it
VPN - worth it

I don't pay for any others. Paid for lifetime Plex for the convenience of not needing to pay for a website domain like I would for jellyfin, and self host my own music, tv, and movies

Why is it liberal media when wall Street journal is right leaning and Adam Kirsch doesn't have any posted political affiliations?

If the web integrity API goes live and I can't use some sites because of it, it will be very nice to have a very clear filter on what websites are complete garbage for using it. Vivat librewolf + VPN!
