  • This could help give some explanation of the election of Trump/MAGA, but 8 months into that election everyone outside can see that they just made all the problems worse. And when this rise was noted last year, I wouldn't have asked that question because the people don't have something to give an an honest response of what would really happen if such groups were elected to power (which these exact same problems happened the last time Trump was elected, but it's happened now twice in a row with a safety bumper between these elections which would help dismiss any claim of it was a fluke/bad timing). Which comes back to my question, how can you look at Trump/MAGA and say "I want THAT for my country?"

    We aren't dealing with hypotheticals anymore, we are already seeing cause and effects.

  • I wonder, how can people look at what Trump/MAGA has done to the US and think to themselves "I want THAT for my country".

  • The 1982 version of "The Amazing Adventures of Hercules". They re-released it in I think 2004, but butchered it.

  • Everyone answered the first part, so as for connecting to other devices, that's a part of communication protocols which doesn't concern about what file system you use.

    Bluetooth will work with others as long as you have Bluetooth connection protocols, Internet uses TCP/IP, LANs use Ethernet, etc...

  • It's the difference between Windows 11, Windows 11 Pro, Windows 11 for Enterprise, and Windows Server 2025.

    There are differences, but not dramatic differences. Some are just better tuned to certain users than others.

  • It was ruled in court to be illegal in 1919 in the Dodge vs Ford lawsuit.

    At the time, Ford himself wanted to: "My ambition is to employ still more men, to spread the benefits of this industrial system to the greatest possible number, to help them build up their lives and their homes. To do this we are putting the greatest share of our profits back in the business."

    But shareholders (both Dodge brothers of the Dodge car company) sued against this and in the end the judge declared that: "A business corporation is organized and carried on primarily for the profit of the stockholders. The powers of the directors are to be employed for that end. The discretion of directors is to be exercised in the choice of means to attain that end and does not extend to a change in the end itself, to the reduction of profits or to the nondistribution of profits among stockholders in order to devote them to other purposes."

    Basically, if you attempted trickle down economics, you'd be "stealing" from the shareholders. Extra money is to be given to shareholders as dividends, not for boosting the pay of your employees if it doesn't involve adding more profits to the bottom line.

  • Replace PBS with indoctrination

  • For those curious about PragerU, you can get an idea what they teach from their free educational supplies: https://www.prageru.com/prageru-in-your-school

    So you too can:

    • "Learn about important figures that represent American values who are often forgotten or mischaracterized in today’s classrooms"
    • "Give middle and high school students an appreciation for what makes America unique with our book series covering global issues, Around the World. Expanding on the stories from the animated series Around the World, these books explore complex topics such as communism, energy needs, and freedom of speech."

    Yeah.... I'm sure these are fair, balanced, and totally not partisan educational supplies.

  • What music do you like to listen to when studying / working?

  • Like many others have mentioned, video game soundtracks when studying. [https://www.gameslearningsociety.org/what-is-the-science-of-video-game-music/](Video game music has also been shown to help with studying.)

    Can video game music help you study? And according to a plethora of research, having such music to accompany a task–especially if it’s repetitive—can drive up dopamine levels in the brain, allowing you to engage in work or study more productively and with less stress. It can also drive inspiration and add a touch of whimsy to otherwise boring tasks.
