If you do ever need to replace that tv, look into monitors for kiosks aimed at businesses. High quality, modern screens with no smart features 🥰

More like 22%, minor correction. Only about 22% of eligible voters voted for Trump. That’s actually less than 20% of the people who live in the USA when you count all the people who can’t vote for one reason or another.

Why would STEM students be less likely to engage in bathroom graffiti than anyone else?

Sadly, there is no historical evidence that anyone ever spat in the faces of returning veterans, that’s just a scene from Rambo that conservatives decided was reality.

TBH mostly middle class people join the military, and a lot of them end up homeless afterwards. Your conception of this situation is basically backwards.

Are most people who join the US military? Answer: no, the contemporary US military is overwhelmingly middle class. The “backdoor draft” isn’t nearly as popular as advertised.

My original reply was in regards to the 2020 election

You mean an election the Democrats won? So what are you complaining about, then?

but somehow almost all of the racists are Republican.

Completely disagree. Maybe Republicans are more vocally racist, but there are way too many racists within the Democratic Party to act like most of them are Republican.

Ignoring problems within the Democratic party doesn’t help me in any way. Helping the Democrats doesn’t help me, because they don’t believe in defeating Republicans, they want to collaborate with them. I lost faith in the Democratic Party 26 years ago when they accepted Bush stealing the election; and they’ve done nothing to restore it.

I was at a party one time. Right before covid, so not super recently, but more recent than 20-30 years ago. Older guy was complaining about young people complaining about housing costs. “Just buy a cheap house in %suburb! You could get one for $200,000,” he said.

I was like “uhhh I’ll call that bluff. I’m in the market right now. I’ve been preapproved for $300,000 and I can’t find a house around here. If you can find me a house in %suburb for $200,000, I’ll pay you a $10,000 finders fee.”

This dude spent the next two hours of the party not talking to anyone, locked in on his phone, looking at real estate listings. Then he finally apologized to me and was like “wow, I really didn’t know it was so bad.”

Yeah, but you could only load the mp3’s on there from iTunes on one specific computer. Other mp3 players at the time would let you drop mp3’s in from any computer’s file system (which enabled a lot of piracy)

Ah, but since far more people speak “Simplified” English then it should become the new “Just” English 😂 British English can be “Complexified English.”

I think the opposite. I think Musk is actually one of the smartest rich guys. Not that I think Musk is smart, but most of these fuckers seem even stupider.

Like Musk has actually moved tech forward… not because he has any particularly unique insights, just because all the other rich guys were scared of electric cars.

The first time I ever heard of Musk was in 2007 when he was boosting the hyperloop. I don’t know anything about hyperloops, but I know a lot about trains. Musk was arguing that trains were outdated and the hyperloop was better and cheaper because it was new. I just remember thinking, “how is experimental, untested tech going to be cheaper than off-the-shelf railroad tech? And this guy is supposed to be smart?”

Tbh I hope the next Bond movie has a villain inspired by Musk.

“Most epic, is it not, Mr. Bond?” He says, gesturing to his pleasure palace of screens with anime waifus on them.

Lol which is so silly because you already won’t be taxed on tipped income if you don’t report it 😂

It’s like you’ve never heard of Star Control 2: The Ur-Quan Masters

And these higher taxes are then… passed on to the tenant 🙃

Why the exception for apartment complexes? Just buy and sell the units as condos.

No, what the government actually can’t afford is to have homeless people overutilizing public services (ambulances, police, hospitals, and jails) because they don’t have stable housing. It’s way, wayyy cheaper to provide people free housing than let them be homeless, Finland has proved this with basic arithmetic, our culture is just really into performative cruelty for some reason.
