These are end-of-days Christian nationalists teamed up with white ethno-state nationalists and all of them would rather have absolute power over a nation of ashes than see us thrive without them.

Oooooooo, nice. I've got one on order. Are you going to do a stock build, or mod it? I have this Superstock motor sitting in a drawer that keeps whispering I should make bad choices....

Thirty dollars in 1980 dollars?? Sorry, kid, the alarm clock you have works just fine.

I rolled a car into cat shit in my yard. Felt pretty lucky it just got on the outside of the body, which was easy to sterilize.

I give monthly to Fairvote, because I believe RCV would change this country for the better. There are some state-level nonprofits supporting RCV, too.

But you should also understand how much the media supported all of this bullshit. How much water they carried. How much they repeated lies without analysis. The media really seems to love a war.

Also zero professionalism and cost. Level of effort, development, and practice is in invisible. Anyone could do it, so why not no one? And even in broadcast TV you paid with time on ads. But when there's no exchange, there's no value, and no sense anything is lost in outsourcing to AI.

Looks excellent! I've been avoiding cockpits because all my miniatures wind up looking like melted Kewpie dolls

The answer to the people who deployed them is, "yes, absolutely," because this is just setting precedent for backdooring martial law.

Yes, give me meat I can grill that doesn't involve and industrialized slaughter and pollution machine. I want lab meat because it seems to me we'll either end up in a world where we get lab-grown meat or a world where our only choice for protein is cricket patties.

The appearance of friction gets weaponized, too. I've seen fake loading screens and extra pages in certain flows designed to increase sunk cost in a process. Artificial choices that all lead to the same place.

But not many other fruits were legally classified as vegetables by a U.S. Supreme Court decision, because they aren't commonly used in deserts! Which might make tomato ice cream illegal?

Hey, it's unfair to compare a fetid cesspit brimming with vile effluence to something as useful and hard-working as a porta potty

I've still got it on PC and Android. One of the only good things Google's done in decades.

The question of perception is one thing, but on balance how much left or right of dem voters on actual policy was Harris? Dems lost the comms battle unbelievably hard, and that's a separate question from policy positions.

But what's the percentage if you look at actual political positions? Polls showed a lot of people convinced that Harris was more concerned with trans rights than "working class Americans." Her actual platform was pretty centrist (beyond taxing rich people a little), but many people seem not to know

One of my favorite forgotten prefixes is luke-, and put together we get a real power word: Lukle. To continuously be mid.

Quark had so many great outfits. DS9 went absolutely wild with the Ferengi and it was glorious.

I actually am a parent! I'm not saying "no one needs cars," I'm saying that transportation should not exist solely as a financial burden on the individual. But also, the whole big-box, buy-for-a-month model exists because of America's car-centric capitalism, not vice-versa.

I don't give a shit about the driver stuff, but I also hate that instead of functioning public transit we're just gonna wind up on the hook to line a different corporation's pockets without addressing any of the underlying evils of car-centric culture. Fuck self-driving cars, I want buses and trains

I work in an industry where one of the biggest things users want is to get information from real people. Like, they don't even really want experts, they want to know what other "normal" people think before they convert. And into this funnel we are busily integrating AI?
