Yeah so bad news. The government has routinely purchased data like this as an end run around the 4th Amendment. The data is collected by a third party, often with the customers "consent".

This is why we need stricter privacy controls around our data. The fact that this data was collated in the first place is problematic. The fact that it's being sold for profit is abhorrent.

My parents are immigrants and didn't have the best understanding of vaccine schedules.

I ask my doc at my last physical to check my measles antibodies.

My parents did good

Brother used to be the go-to but there was a post a week or so ago showing how they are starting to hold laser toner hostage.

I replaced my HP inkjet with a Brother laser a little over a year ago and seems to be going okay. Though I'm hesitant to let it update firmware.

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Not only that but more often than not, the pet has the face of "What you gonna do about it?" which makes it even funnier.

There is a saying that reality and facts have a liberal bias. When Nixon was in the process of being impeached, conservatives found that if they can control the narrative, the facts, then they can control the conversation. It's no accident that they went to attack the fairness doctrine and it finally fell under Reagan.

It may have had a right wing bias, but they are the ones that got rid of it because they wanted to protect their echo chamber

Despite what he said, he didn't vote for Trump for the economy.

He voted for Trump because he was racist. So unless he suddenly became unracist, he will vote Republican again and blame a darker skinned person for the failure of his shoe business.

You know for fuck sure this guy is going to vote Republican in the midterms and then do another insurrection to make sure Trump is "elected" in 2028.

This is what happens when you remove the fairness doctrine and allow the alt-right propaganda "news" machine go unchecked.

Anyone who says they'll run the government as a business will fail at doing both.
