Apparently Republican voters are gonna set the mark at R regardless of who it is, so how about having someone like Bernie run in the Republican primary.

There are alternatives for the people who make money off the YouTube.

The Youtubers who do get paid enough to make a living from YouTube also make production quality content and have great gear and staff. They might as well sell their production to any other streaming service.

Something like Veritasium might as well be on Netflix as YouTube. Mr.Beast would fit in on Mtv…

If it’s any consolation, at least Trump can only ever become a short term dictator, because he’s old.

I doubt even the MAGAs would support Vance or any other republican trying to maintain a dictatorship. The entire GOP will crumble in infighting when Trump is gone and probably even beforehand.

At what point do content creators stop creating content for this?

I mean… it’s been more than 24 hours by now, hasn’t it?

I’m thinking worldwide. George Bush paved the way for a lot of populistic right wing politicians in other countries, showing that reckless incompetence is fine as long as you put on a suit and pretend to know something about economy.

He then dragged the entire ensemble of headnodding clowns into a war in Iraq on a false premise. Yes, Saddam was an asshole and needed to go, but he did not have chemical weapons. The entire war was about taking full control of oil, that Bush’s croonies had planned long beforehand.

Then there was a little financial crisis called “the great recession” in 2007 and onwards, and of course history has a tendency to point backwards, but I think it’s fair to say that the complete lack of oversight of the financial institutions was the main cause. The cause of this crisis was G. Bush Junior and all the other conservative government leaders in suits claiming to be “fiscally responsible”. If only they had been “financially conservative” that would’ve better, but they didn’t even attempt. It was pretty much as irresponsible as it gets.

I don’t think Trump or the USA as a whole can litteraly destroy the environment, because they’re not that many, 300m people of 8 billion worldwide, and I also don’t think Trump will initiate any wars directly, but they’ll do nothing to stop the existing wars, and we will see a worldwide financial crisis as soon as the next budget doesn’t get approved or earlier.

This election has the same dreadful feeling as 2000.

Nevermind the crazyness, it’s the certainty that something worldwide bad is going to happen due to the incompetence of the American government.

Maybe Biden could pack the Supreme Court before leaving office.

It wouldn’t be a great idea in the long run, but it’d potentially stop the entire system from functioning right now.

He has never wanted to do the job as president. Not last time, not this time.

not sure what a ceremonial rich dude could have done.

This is the kind of situation in which a king (or president) can make a difference.

Royalty don’t have any direct power to order people to do things, but they do have a voice with quite a broad reach. Whenever the king speaks, people will hear it. Even if they don’t care about the king.

In a time where people are getting their information from sources curated to fit their own political bubble or economical interests, it’s quite powerful to be able to reach a whole country across political and economic interests.

Royalties can’t dictate, but they can encourage and motivate people to work together on a common goal despite of their differences.

When something is seriously threatening the country, it would be nice if the king would bother making a motivational speech, so that people, companies and politicians could see the purpose of uniting against the common threat.

It might not sway the opinions of people or companies who have strong interests in not doing anything differently, but it will boost the morale of people trying to do their best, enabling them to rest assured that they’re doing the right thing despite of what others might do. We could say it’s a really vague forn of long term meta-politics, but sometimes that’s also all that is needed to set a direction.

It’s not political as such, but more like “yo let’s save this sinking ship” instead of passivily watching it happen. It won’t fix anything by itself, but it’s a good start. Without a good start and set direction, you can be sure that nothing will ever change.

This isn’t the first time he claims to have technical issues. Why doesn’t he just bring his own shit?

This constant whining over stuff and stiffing contractors really isn’t a great flex for someone who wants to be in charge of anything.

I think of it as finished software. It’s the MS Paint or Notepad for sound. No development necessary.

The only reason I’ve used it is because Adobe bought CoolEdit and started “developing” it, a.k.a.: Turned it into paid bloatware and changed the name to Audition. So, I found Audacity which is free, small, to the point and quick to use.

If you do need more features you’d probably be better off switching to something else in the first place.

Is this their Vietnam?

It should be highlighted that the tough competition from Chinese manufacturers is on the Chinese market. The increased tariffs won’t help on that. VW simply got outcompeted in China.

VW is still the most sold brand in Europe. Every time BYD sells one car in Europe, VW sells 74 cars Europe. That’s not the problem. It’s that the Chinese market used to be the largest market for VW, but now the party is over after 40 years.

Exports are risky like that. It’s difficult to blame the China for this when they have cheaper and more technology advanced vehicles available domestically. I hope VW can see the writing on the wall and up their game, but I fear that this market won’t ever come back. In my opinion they should focus on going back to the core idea of making smaller and cheaper cars available to the people, instead of making luxury car exports.

You could pay someone else who wants to create them?

It can happen in many ways. If you’ve ever used your mail for anything, then the address is out there.

Just the other day I got an email addressed to 50+ people with every email in the “to” field. Ironically the mail was about online security…

Obviously it’s a breach on GDPR, but the damage is already done. If just one of the other recipients has been hacked or has forwarded to someone who is or has allowed some dodgy app to syncronize contracts, the scamners now has all the emails.

There’s absolutely nothing I could have done to prevent it.

It’s still a good opening for you to choose any topic important to you or them to talk about.

“both are the same” is mostly used as an excuse for being ignorant. Simply speaking your opinion might be enough for them to show support for you, if they’re supporting parents.

If my child came to me asking me to take a stance in the school board election, I most definitely would, because I don’t give a shit about school board elections.

If my phone didn’t have a cap, I’d hotspot it all, which is basically the idea of cellular home internet routers. I found a home router without a cap, which time will tell to be true, but it’s still more expensive than my phone with a very large but not unlimited cap.

They want to get paid, that’s the reasoning. The amount of data is really irrelevant except for pricing.

Roaming fees used to be the same until EU stepped in. Hopefully EU will eventually step in and order a full stop to ALL CAPS too. We live in the “future” now, right? Bring me my free unlimited connection so I can download that car they talked about.

I wouldn’t worry about convincing the magas or even non-maga Republicans. Non-voters are much bigger issue, but also a bigger potential for reasoning.

The cheapst way is this: Don’t lie to your children. Take responsibility for your choices. Talk to your children and explain why an adult needs to make responsible choices.
