“but it feels like old reddit”. My god, imagine actively preferring the new reddit UI. Let them keep their shiny jangling keys instead of coming over here and pestering the devs for a snoovatar feature or whatever nonsense.

The ‘maybe read for 2 minutes to figure it out’ miniscule barrier to entry is a feature not a bug.

Did you never hear about falcon 9 or something? SpaceX’s design process is tried and true. They used it to design the most successful rocket platform ever made. Not only is first stage reuse a massive breakthrough in it’s own right but they pulled it off with arguably the most reliable rocket in history,

I forget where I heard this take but it was describing trump’s first election. The broader electorate knew it would be chaotic, that was almost the point. Everyone can tell that the status quo is bad, that things are getting worse for most people. When the options are ‘more of the same that isn’t working’ and ‘throw a grenade at it and see what happens’ people chose the grenade. Low information voters don’t care about Gaza, millions of voters couldn’t even tell you what region it’s in.

All they knew is that inflation was making everything unaffordable and their pay certainly didn’t keep up. Did they correctly assign blame for the economic conditions? Of course not. But when your main basis for voting is just the general vibe and the vibe is bad then you either vote for the other guy or stay home. So yes, people do prefer crisis to stability when stability just means things continue to get worse at a steady pace.

I’m fascinated by this apparently critical sliver of venn diagram between “I value audio latency/marginal improvement in quality highly enough to be inconvenienced by messing with a headphone cable while on the go” vs “a dongle is too inconvenient”.

*Apparently this is a really hot take. My point being the convenience gap between cable vs no cable is so much larger than the gap between dongle vs no dongle that I don’t understand how it’s a dealbreaker.

The more he focuses on this instead of ruining the lives of migrants, refugees, and queer people, the better. This is absurd enough to be funny instead of just stoking hate crimes.

Sure the economic consequences are really bad but just starting a trade war for the sake of being a messy bitch and no other apparent reason is kinda funny.

Why was it more important for Kamala to continue the genocide than to win over those non-voters?

1. you should always have external backups for your important data anyway

2. you can just export/import your user settings. You only lose comment history but you can just check that from a different instance if you want to.

I’m getting so tired of liberals who spend all their time complaining about people not supporting their preferred genocidaire instead of demanding candidates that aren’t aspiring genocidaires.

It is the candidate’s job to win the election, not the electorate’s. If the anti-genocide voting bloc was enough to swing the election (it wasn’t) then maybe your candidate shouldn’t have supported a fucking genocide in spite of that.

Shout out to kamala for being such a bad candidate she lost to this and shout out to biden for denying us a primary.

Oh cool we’re back in … 2010? and we’re doing FBI crime stats discourse again, except this time we’re doing the breakdown by gender instead of race.

*if you’ll downvote then explain how you’re not making the exact same argument lol

Ah, the extremely shitty pen that scratches so bad you might as well carve your message into the paper. Lasts maybe 3 lines before it starts skipping but who cares. It exists to be as cheap as possible so your customer you don’t respect can pocket it after initialing twice and signing something.

I hate bad cheap pens so much. I never would have gotten into fountain pens if there wasn’t the counter example of how bad a writing experience can get.

First public beta/alpha release in 1995

I recently found out I’m about as old as Java and I still haven’t decided if that sounds worse for me or for Java.

And of course during the next primary: ‘we have to rally around 90% hitler to stand a chance against 100% hitler. 0% hitler is just too radical to win the general election. If anything we need more hitler to win over the centrists’

Commercial vehicles are still fine if you can tolerate it. Might be the best option in 15 years if nothing else. I have a '19 transit van and it has no way of phoning home, the only infotainment is the one I installed. I haven’t researched too deeply but I assume the transit connect line is similar and if it is I’m considering making one my next personal vehicle.

How many Palestinian children have died so far with democrat supplied bombs again? You think you have a leg to stand on?

“but what if the genocide rubber stamp was still blue” is not a compelling argument.

If it was intentional I don’t think he would choose this venue. Trump has gotta be so pissed at him for stealing the media spotlight and making him look bad.

Fundamentally I don’t think he thinks of himself as a neo-nazi whether or not he functionally is one. And I don’t think he’s bold enough for a dog whistle this blatant even if he does.

He did put on a weird stank face when he did it. He thought he was doing something but I don’t think he was aiming for nazi salute. He’s happy to trigger the libs over it but I think in the moment it was somewhere between the weird jump he did on stage and the ketamine putting enough holes in his brain that he thought this was a normal ‘my heart goes out to you all’ gesture.
