Trump

I’m game, you have healthcare…which I’ll need for all the shit down there trying to kill me.

They weren’t quiet about this being the last fair election we would have. I’m also not convinced it was actually a fair election.

But whatever…too late to bitch about the fascists now.

If they leak it, the media will suddenly have a case of morals and refuse to print it. That’s just how these things go.

resistance coalitions

Good luck with that. The last chance for an organized resistance was the 90’s before we put in mass surveillance. It’s game set and match at this point. The only chance now is maybe the hardcore blue states succeed, but that didn’t end well last time either.

That’s pedantic. They won the trifecta of government. The definition of landslide is academic at this point.

His win was absolute and final. I’m not sure what anyone expects to accomplish at this point. The good guys lost as badly as they could lose.

George Carlin hit this on the head. If you don’t have the homeless there’s no one to scare the poor into working.

We’ve been a joke for a long time. We the people are finally learning the rest of the world isn’t laughing with us…

Well…yea…Ukraine has 60 days or so to win this conflict or be erased from history.

Meh…no it didn’t. Maga people don’t watch 60 minutes. A bunch of X bots reposted a bunch of bot links.

I’m still really struggling to see an actual formidable use case

It’s an excellent replacement for middle management blather. Content that has no backing in data or science but needs to sound important.

We bail out all the farmers as we’ve always done.

My favorite thing I’ve got off eBay so far was a catalytic converter. It was empty.

My state doesn’t do emissions, and I kind of knew what I was getting…but wow…I can’t believe a company would allow that in the first place.

You’ve clearly never lost a dispute on eBay. It’s possibly the worst customer experience I’ve had.

I needed a glass part for a projector, it showed up broken. Tried to send it back and the seller offered like a 10% refund. eBay…after waiting a week (mandatory dispute resolution time) showed up, spent another week trying to meditate, the just said fuck it, the seller is right, eat a dick and your broken color wheel.

eBay gives you the illusion of consumer protection until you actually need it.

But no, based on some of the car parts and things I’ve gotten off eBay…the quality is objectively not better than what I’ve seen off Temu.

Dunno…I’m not saying Microsoft isn’t doing bad things…I’m just saying they wouldn’t be my priority.

I’ve met people that have gotten decent stuff off there. Their clothes seem nice and the electronics are hit and miss.

It’s about the same rate of crap to quality as EBay these days, and Amazon is only marginally better.

The Rs…it was interesting, when Trump was declared guilty I watched Fox and Newsmax to see if they had actually reported on it.

They WERE calling for a rebellion. They mentioned the 2nd amendment a couple of times, and the rhetoric was generally violence.

The message conservatives get is very different than what the rest of the world gets.

Uh…the big We is fucking stupid. It’s not stopping anything at this point. That ship has sailed.

Weird…very weird. AWS owns nearly 50% over 30% of the web, but they’re going after MS for a shitty product (Azure), which is at 20-25%
