This is the opposite of that. They're shopping around for a more conservative candidate and calling that "centrist". They called Obama too left. The guy whose most notable achievement was passing a rebranded Republican healthcare bill (which Republicans still treated like it was the most progressive socialized single payer system ever despite it being just about the polar opposite).

This year? We don't have that kind of time. Lets start with something manageable like what he's done wrong in the last month or two. That should only be a couple dozen things.

Wait, are we counting things that the Incompetent sycophants he's put in charge of everything do as things Trump has done wrong as well? If so might need to cut that timeline down a bit more.

Trump is a mean, racist, genocide enabling, fascist worshipping, idiot, conman. The fact he's still so successful at separating other idiots from their money says a lot more about how stacked in favor of the wealthy our society has become than it does about Trump. We have put the least qualified individual in every respect in charge of everything and it's all collapsing in record time. Socially, economically, politically, and legally, the US is regressing. You would be hard pressed to find someone worse than Trump to fill the office of the president.

Joe Biden on the other hand still supported genocide, and was a very mediocre president, but worst of all even knowing running for a second term would almost certainly result in Trump winning he did it anyway. Biden was a better president than Trump. Biden would be a better president now. That's far from the same thing as Biden being a good president. The DNC needs to have their entire upper echelon permanently removed from power. They're corrupt through and through. Just because Republicans are worse by every metric doesn't give Democrats a pass. Democrats should never hold office again. Republicans should never be allowed outside a jail cell again. One does not excuse the other. Since FPTP means we only have two options the Democrats it is, but you better believe we'll still keep calling them on their bullshit.

Most "gun enthusiasts" don't give a single fuck about these. They're pretty useless as they just waste ammo and make your aim worse. I have no idea who's actually fighting for these, but it's definitely not the majority of gun owners. You're right, nobody needs these, and almost nobody actually owns them. This decision won't really change that either. Ultimately this is largely a non-story just as much as it was when they were banned in the first place. There's far more meaningful things people should be focusing on right now both in terms of gun violence and just in general.

Yes. The guy just dumped the magazine, you can do that with a normal trigger as well, it just takes a second or two longer. Lets say it takes you 7 seconds to empty a 10 round magazine with a normal trigger. A forced reset trigger lets you do it in 5 seconds. Meanwhile an actual machine gun can do that in half a second.

More violence possibly but it's not going to meaningfully increase gun sales. This entire thing is so ridiculously overblown. The thing in question here, forced reset triggers, just let you pull the trigger slightly faster (like less than a seconds difference compared to a normal trigger) than you otherwise would. It really is the most inconsequential decision whether you're for or against gun ownership. Almost nobody cares about this decision.

I think it's more that most people just aren't aware of any equivalent alternatives, or in some cases like where there literally aren't any alternatives. Look at phones, both Apple and Google suck and their mobile OSes are terrible but what's the alternative? Sure there's a few Linux phones out there and that's almost an alternative but it's not there yet. You could go with a "dumb" phone, but for most people that's not going to work. So you pick your lesser evil and bitch about it whenever the latest round of enshitification hits.

If you asked most people what alternatives exist for Spotify they'd probably say Pandora, and maybe Apple Music or Youtube Music and then struggle to come up with anything else. The better alternatives are suffering from a massive discovery problem.

Nope although they do get a mention. Apparently in this case it's forced reset triggers. Saying they allow a semi-auto gun to fire like a full-auto is a bit of a stretch though, even more so than for a bump stock.

If it was ruled unconstitutional you'd think it would automatically be considered repealed. I suppose this could come into play potentially with our nut job supreme court though. If they decided to overturn the 2003 decision and it wasn't officially repealed it could come into effect again, so uh... good on Texas I guess?

That will be an incredibly short section of class then. Here I can help:

In 2020 Trump claimed there were discrepancies in the election after losing the election, but when forced to submit evidence under oath admitted he had no evidence of discrepancies. That concludes the section on 2020 election discrepancies.

I don't think people should be taking medical advice from me

Says the guy in charge of the department responsible for medical advice.

This is one of the incredibly rare instances where I agree with something RFK Jr. says, I agree nobody should be taking medical advice from him. Now if he could fucking resign and you know stop giving medical advice that would be great.

Exactly, he's already a walking security disaster.

Wake me up when someone besides OpenAI says they're the best at something. When a company releases a benchmark they designed that their own tool that's generally regarded as not very good is suddenly the best at, that's not news, at best that's PR, at worst propaganda. This reeks of "we investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong".
