We have given up a lot to baby the American auto industry. Our health is poorer due to non-walkable cities and the stress of commuting. Our highways tore through a lot of minority communities. Our carbon footprint is higher than it could be. We can’t even have cheaper EVs.
The other transforms these societal demands in woke-liberalism, erasing the class struggle component of feminism, anti-lgbtphobia, anti-rascism. Rendering these fights too individualized and inconsequential.
Which is still not the same level of existential threat as forcing women to die of easily treatable obstetric issues or giving paramilitary thugs a budget bloated enough to be a top 13 military by funding carte blanche to execute or disappear protestors/POC/people with accents. Just because neither party is leftist (or ideal) does not mean they are the same.
HOWEVER, I’m deliberately changing it to mean there isn’t even a simulacrum of difference between Democrats and Republicans
I will grant you that both parties serve monied interests and share a lot of the same agenda. However, one party has been working for generations to roll back rights for women, POC, LGBTQIA+ to the 1950s.
You know, we’re propagandized to see the poor as leeches but these billionaire broligarchs are the true leeches. They’ll steal your water and hop on your electrical grid and push the limit on what they can get away with… while lobbying for the avg Joe/Jane to subsidize them.
Not a lawyer, but this sounds antitrust here in the States too.
Someone once analyzed web based recapatcha. Their conclusion was, G isn’t trying to figure out whether you are human. It’s trying to figure out WHICH human you are. It’s identity resolution, not bot detection. If it can’t get a high enough confidence estimate, you get denied. Sometimes with infinite captchas.
I’d be interested in reading/watching if you can recall the source.
They want their quick fix of dopamine and damned be the minor inconvenience of possibly interacting with a bot.
Reddit still has some value in that it has active niches or hobbyist subs. I still pop in for book/movie/tech recommendations.
Sec Brainworm was asked about that quote, swore up and down he never said it then eventually said he no longer stands by that.
His “concepts of a plan” sound bite would have sunk any other candidate in US political history.
Only when a Dem is in office and/or someone suggests spending money on things besides bombing brown people.
They refuse to let people have access to anything affordable.
Thiel himself said 4/6 of the founders were making bombs back in HS.
Oh for sure. My comment was just to say just because it’s closed source doesn’t mean you can’t get some sense of what they’re trying to do behind the scenes with your data.
Closed source doesn’t necessarily hide trackers either. Tracker Control (on Android) will point out tracker libraries and tracker domains closed source apps use. A good DNS blocker will let you know too by the logs.
Hegseth was just in the news for spending almost 100 billion on lobster and crab and steak.
Because without conscious effort to expand your horizons, your preferences and distastes ossify around what you were exposed to growing up and in young adulthood. However, the world continues to change. Aging also can make adapting harder cognitively.
I was so disgusted setting up Windows the last time I had to do so. The installation process was just upselling/shoving adware. And now every other update bricks your pc.
I got a disgustingly high offer for West Texas but I’d kms if I had to live there.
