It’s antisemitic to report the truth?

We have free health care? Coulda fooled me.

I watched my dad slowly starve to death from cancer cigarettes gave him, so no, cigarettes don’t “rule”.

Pocket is one service of theirs I did use from time to time. Save an article you want to read later without committing it to a bookmark.

Nah they make good steak and shrimp and they don’t bother me so Ima leave them alone. There are much bigger criminals to worry about in this country than shady local businesses.

They straight up ambushed those guys. Makes me wonder if the car accident was staged specifically to attract emergency workers.

I made one the other day, though I bought the music from HDTracks instead of “acquiring” it from Limewire or Kazaa. Burned it to a CD because the bus I drive has a CD player but no SD card slot or anything.

Why did they get removed? I feel like I’m missing a whole backstory here.

This is one of those things that wouldn’t surprise me in the least. Something has felt “off” for a while between him and Russia. But I’m not gonna go spreading it around as if it’s fact if I have no evidence.

If you’re offending Trump supporters then you’re doing something right.

I don’t understand how people do things like shopping on their phone. I mean if you’re only buying one or two items, sure, but if you’re doing grocery pickup at Walmart or something how do you even function on a screen that small? You can’t do any kind of comparison without flipping back and forth between multiple tabs.

Mobile is fine for reading articles, instant messaging, etc., but there are a lot of things that are absolutely better on a laptop.

I’ve thought about it; but with a wife and two kids it would be difficult if not impossible to pick up and move somewhere else and start all over.

1975 was 49 years ago, that’s basically half a century, 😋

Because they’re not the “default”. Most folks stick with whatever comes on their device by default; Edge on Windows, Safari on MacOS/iOS, Chrome on Android, etc. Anything beyond just picking it up and turning it on requires forethought and effort, which most users don’t care about.

Planned obsolescence

I’ve been using DuckDuckGo for years now and it works surprisingly well for me. 9 times out of 10 I find exactly what I’m looking for in the first couple of results. Brave Search is another independent alternative you might look into.

AI generated garbage seems to be cluttering up places like Google.

I think a big part of it, here in the US, is besides all the post WW2 sentiment, a lot of folks here in the bible belt literally think they are God’s chosen people, and so whatever they do is right by God, no matter how terrible. I recently showed up for jury duty and was speaking to a lady there about her son who had joined the Marine Corps. and thought he might get deployed, and she said, I shit you not, “At least he’ll be fighting for God’s people”.

I’ve seen antisemitism. I’ve been in online communities that slowly devolved into rat caricatures and conspiracy theories about how Jews are out to destroy the world. So I know that modern antisemitism persists and is a thing to watch out for. But it’s not antisemitic to admit that Zionist Israel is butchering innocent people because they want to claim all of Palestine for themselves, and that the west is too weak willed to do anything about it for fear of being called antisemitic, or going against “God’s chosen people”. That’s not antisemitism, it’s an objective, observable fact.

We’re all paying attention, the problem is that those who vehemently support him just literally don’t care and will vote for him anyway. He wasn’t wrong when he made the comment that he could shoot somebody in the middle of the street and get away with it. He literally orchestrated and attempted coups and got people killed because he threw a temper tantrum and couldn’t stand the thought of not getting his way.

She straight up admitted that she was essentially a sock puppet CEO and would offer no friction to anything Musk wanted.

I hate phillips. It seems like their only purpose for existing is to strip out so that you can never remove them.

Personally, any time I have a project, I always opt for torx (star). The screwdriver bits for them are not tapered so they don’t push themselves back out of the screw-head (unlike phillips), so they tend to stay in place and grip much better. It’s a lot harder to screw up a torx screw or bit than a phillips one.
