Good move, they were a clown and pointing out that they were arguing entirely in bad faith is correct. They did it under the guise of being far-leftist, but as a far-leftist myself, I have a hard time believing it was for anything other than pissing people off. Hopefully they can go practice being happy instead of doom-posting on niche Internet forums.

This ol' boy's name was Stux. He made it from 2016 to 2023; a 7 year run!

It is sad to think about how many working class people will funnel their earned money into his pockets.

Good god. I feel bad for them on two fronts.

  1. That’s a brutal way to die and at a young age.
  2. They were so delusioned by religion that they put themselves in danger to spread around ancient mythological texts to random people.

In no way is religion worth the events.

Any working class person living in the elements of this economy will tell you it is not good; cherry-picked indicators in these reports be damned. When the people tell you they are hurting in numbers this large, leaders must listen, not ignore.

This is how all capitalist markets progress, which is why I get annoyed when folks try to talk about this as though it is hypocritical. There is nothing hypocritical about a capitalist attempting to stifle innovation and competition for the advancement of their own personal wealth. This is what capitalism is about.

This part really got me:

“You have review boards, that’s fine, but it’s got to be done in ways where you have the Sheriff or Chief of Police appointing people,” the governor said. “It can’t be people that have an agenda.”

The Sheriff and the Chief of Police are the very people who have an agenda. Of course DeSantis knows this. Sane people in Florida need to evacuate as soon as possible.

Someone paid it. Not entirely convinced it was directly from Trump.

This makes me incredibly sad. We can't have shit in this country due to pathetic and incompetent governance. What's worse is that it will take a generation of time for us to dig out of this hole even if we start moving 100% in the right direction, today. It makes me sick.

Good on them for standing up for what's right on this.

For a long while last year, I had an iPhone and my fiancé had a Pixel. It did not matter whatsoever in regards to the relationship. We used Telegram (still do).

If phone choice dictates someone's choice in partner it is probably safe to categorize them as "terminally online." Stay away from those people.
