Seems a lot more plausible than them shooting down 4 missiles, def on-brand too

“it’s just another dollar, brah”

It’s like sushi… kinda

Can you refute the info in the article? That would go a lot further to prove your comment valid.

🥴

Yeah, things have actually gotten quite a bit better over the past 3 years. Much of that was due to the abysmal performance of his predecessor, so even a “just ok” job would have looked like a masterwork.

That said, Biden’s def hitting his stride lately 😄

Those 2 look like they need to get a room ಠ_ಠ

Based on this particular comment chain and your decision to come back and read the article, i decided to read it as well. Very engaging, indeed! Learned quite a bit, def worth the time. I even subscribed to Ed’s newsletter, lol

I think there’s a couple things at play:

• You know enough to find a different app and make it do what you need it to. Not a hard thing, but something many non-tech savvy people could struggle with, or more likely–

• People often will just use what’s there. We know we have options, we are aware of the privacy concerns… but many people simply aren’t and/or don’t care enough to do anything about it.

We spend a lot of time here, so it seems to us like second nature to avoid intrusive apps… I find in my day-to-day life not many people are talking about that kind of stuff, or don’t have much knowledge/experience in that realm. (I realize that is anecdotal).

I 100% agree with your statements–just trying to rationalize how so many people end up using/staying with these ever-worsening services/apps…

That seems to be the life-cycle of social forums online. The successful ones usually seem to have at least a slightly left-leaning user base, which inevitably attracts trolls/right-wingers/supremacists/etc. The trolls don’t have much fun talking to each other, as they are insufferable people to begin with. It seems like a natural progression for them to seek out people they disagree with, since they have nothing else/better to do. Gab and the like are just the “safe spaces” they constantly berate everyone else for having (which they hate extra hard since their bullshit isn’t accepted in those places)

I know this image is completely unrelated to the article, it’s just that i saw the words golden and axe in such close proximity…i wanted to leave that here in case others were thinking the same

I think it does though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

She’s a former registered Republican with an axe to grind with AOC. She became a Democrat only in name, brought all her right-wing bullshit along with her.

So what the hell is this post even for? It links to a single tweet in the middle of a series of tweets from a retired journalist/current politician that otherwise seems to be 100% obsessed with AOC and spends nearly all her time X’ing about her. After having viewed her profile for a minute, i decided to find out a little more and it didn’t take long to reveal a conservative in liberal clothing:

"In her 2010 book, “You Know I’m Right: More Prosperity, Less Government,” Caruso-Cabrera called for privatizing both Medicare and Social Security, which she described as “the country’s biggest pyramid schemes.”

Nice!! I do remember correctly, then. That was the first time i saw clear root beer…I was intrigued! It was very tasty, that much i definitely remember!

I remember Snapple having a fairly impressive variety of flavors back in the day… Nothing like it is today…and a bit later, all those caps with the free subscription to WebTV lol

Was the root beer clear?

Just like to take this opportunity to say fuck the name “ByteDance”

It’s a stupid, corporate, “hip” name that needs to fade into obscurity asap. Not crazy about the company either, but the name in particular is just so fucking cringe

I am surprised by how closely it resembles Trump’s plan, right down to the insurrection date being only 2 days after Trump’s failed attempt.

You read my mind 👏

Damn, i never thought to call Microsoft for tech support. Are they helpful?
