  • I dont understand your line of reasoning… you are complaining that they did nothing with their majorities and claim the only thing they would need a supermajority for is a constitutional ammenmendt and could get everything else done. When i point out the filibuster (which in case it was not clear, means you still need a supermajority for cloture and proceed to voting in the senate), you complain that they didnt put on a show? Do you thini they shouldve spent alot of effort trying to pass legislation that would never be passed anyway for show? Or am i not understanding you?

    edit: ok i was not aware of the meaning of bully pulpit. You mean they shouldve used the opportinity to advocate for better policies even though they wouldnt get the policies through?
















  • As a norwegian who is back to pirating after a break of around 10-12 years, it is not primarily a cost issue. Hell with hardware investments it is costing me more tho that includes stuff for gaming (roms, i currently dont pirate pc games).

    What it is is a service issue. Self curated collection of movies and shows beats the fragmented shit that is current streaming platforms not to mention the flood of utter garbage on tgese platforms you have to sift thru to find somethinf worth watching. Not to mention the privacy aspects and in general the “ownership” model (ie licensing without really knowing the terms).

    Fuck that shit and im never getting fooled again.
