  • Is this a linear algebra joke?

  • But it won't matter until the election. I'm all for this death, but I'd prefer it be after a blue wave that claims the Speaker of the House, with the ability to impeach Vance.

  • A power vacuum might make them implode on themselves.

    "Might" being the operative word, and I don't wanna roll those dice when line of succession is established. The cult only matters during the election. Handing the reins over to someone who shows no sign of breaking from the manipulators, but is much less likely to fuck it up by being a narcissistic geriatric idiot, seems unwise.

    If you're banking on disrupting the cult, the strategic time would be late in a (blatantly unconstitutional, yet inevitable) 2028 run. They already have the power now and, again, line of succession is predetermined. If Trump dies in office, there's no clamoring for the presidency, it's Vance. He's no mastermind, but he's not a doddering old fool. He'll faithfully enact the will of his handlers without gaffes and senior moments.

    If there's gonna be a fascist puppet running the country, I'd rather it be a bumbling and incompetent one. At least he'll screw up his orders from time to time.

  • I'd rather not. Our saving grace in this Project 2025 bullshit is Trump being a clueless clown. I do not want someone even moderately more competent or less dementia-addled taking his place.

    Best case scenario: massive blue wave in the House, Trump dies, Vance is impeached, Democratic SotH takes over. Anything less than that, and we've got another MAGA puppet who makes fewer mistakes.

  • Based on my interactions, I think the delusional/pedophilic demographic is far outweighed by those who are simply deeply ignorant (no comment on racism).

    It's not that they're ignoring the evidence about him, or even support him in spite of it (though that definitely happens too). They live in a bubble where they just never see any negative news about him. Their news sources either ignore those stories entirely, or spin them beyond all recognition. Whenever something negative gets too big, they're told it's fake news, or that the Democrats are doing it even worse.

  • So when you were a kid and didn't like to eat something, you'd give it to your parents. But what do you do with food you dislike as an adult?

    Jump

  • I'm generally pretty good at figuring out what I will and won't like when ordering from a restaurant. The only reason I wouldn't finish something I ordered is if I physically cannot force myself to swallow it. If it comes to that, and my wife doesn't like it either, into the compost it goes.

  • Start-up idea

    Jump

  • Yeah dawg, I think you're just not very good at researching your appliances. Put a little time in to learn to sniff out bots and find reviews that aren't advertisements. Look at 4 star reviews. I hate to say it, but look at reddit; it's a legitimately great research resource for that kind of thing if you can recognize ads.

    Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of touchscreen WiFi bullshit out there to spend stupid money on, but there are a few diamonds in the rough if you're willing to look.

    I can't speak to outside the US in terms of exact models, but the techniques transfer. Don't trust brand names, find reviews of specific models.The internet is full of dorks who go on forums to geek out on appliances, you just have to find them.

  • Sure it does, you just have to buy the stuff that's expensive because it's quality, not expensive because it has WiFi and touchscreens and stuff.

  • Start-up idea

    Jump

  • There are tons of models out there that cost half that much. Sure, there are fancy ones with wifi and touch screens you can spend $1000+ on, but a basic washer is like $4-600.

  • You're not wrong, but haven't we already been doing that for, like, a century?

  • But you still made the comment you did. As I said, criticism is and has always been allowed.

    Criticism by itself doesn't accomplish anything. Sure, mollifying centrists has not been ideal, but unless there's an actionable alternative, it's the best we've got at the moment. I'm all for alternatives, I just see a lot of social inertia and none of the alternatives I see are capable of offering a better outcome in the face of that inertia.

    If you have a suggestion to elevate progressives into office, I would sincerely love to hear it; that is my preferred outcome. But complaining about the dominant strategy without offering an actionable alternative is, as the top comment identified, splitting the left.

  • Criticism has always been allowed, you're doing it now. How do you actually secure a better alternative?

  • Pretty sure mine are passive with a little speaker that selectively transmits low decibel sounds. If the batteries die, it's still passive protection, I just don't get to hear people talking.
