If you didn't try to change the outcome, you're tacitly agreeing with it.

On the contrary; participation in the electoral system is an implicit endorsement of the legitimacy of the system.

This is recognized by the US government whenever it questions the legitimacy of elections in other countries based on voter participation and in it's support of voting boycotts such as occurred in Venezuela.

The fact that the very opposite rhetoric is used when convenient for domestic purposes is simply just another example of American hypocrisy, "one set of rules for us and another set for everybody else'.

Unfortunately you cannot prevent fascism by voting for the lesser fascist. The direction of your energy into doing so is an explicit part of the strategy for maintaining the slide into fascism. The rigged game can only be beaten by rejecting it's rules.

Here is a really interesting video on lightbulbs which goes into how the light bulb cartel standard was more of a min-maxing of lifespan vs energy cost vs brightness than it was planned obsolescence.

You only need the app to do ear shape analysis

Does this require the app for operation or can you temporarily install the app for config and then use the feature without the app?

I think the idealization of this kind of spartan living space is basically the same as the cryptobro idealization of unregulated currency.

Over time exposure to reality will result in making compromise after compromise to solve each problem that arises until you have reinvented from first principles the very same standards that everyone else in society already arrived at.

Hard stance can result in flak from the presenter or the audience. Softening stance could help get further invitations to the show, repeat exposure leading to appearances on other mainstream programs and perhaps eventually entry into the lucrative club of being a talking head. This is one of the filters in the Herman-Chomsky propaganda model.

Ironic really, he could save others from taking the easy bag but not himself. chomsky-yes-honey
