But their software is just blocking based on browser. Their message to you is not "don't use an ad blocker". It's "use chrome and you won't have this problem". Theyre literally just hoping to abuse their position as a monopoly in video to try and strengthen their monopoly on browsers.

The mere use of the words "cheap Chinese" in the title here is meant to inspire racism though. It's intentional too. Our government encourages and spreads it to encourage Americans to view themselves as better or more valuable than Chinese people. It works.

How does the security counsel prevent global war? They're powerless to do anything to any of the super powers and by proxy also won't do anything to anyone else either.

I'm surprised to hear /home is non standard.

They're torturing and interrogating them. That's literally the story here.

If you want trump to lose, just keep your mouth shut, or better yet get in the bandwagon and be excited about Biden. It doesn't have to be real. You can fake it.

Holding your nose while you vote is a recipe for a trump win though.

And on top of that, the tech they're being asked to use is literally a decade old next year.

LoL. There's a Google tech talk where the guys doing the autonomous driving DARPA challenge talk about how slow and awful military contractors are. Then they say "we just took off the shelf gps systems (you know, the ones the military contractors spent decades designing and building) and built something that works! Look how much faster the private sector is!"

That talk is 15 years old now.

I got told we were like this once. Mle and my wife would literally tiptoe around after, carefully close doors, live in a constant state of worry, and still the next morning the guy below would say "you're literally shaking paintings off the walls!" My wife was physically afraid to run into him after a bit.

At the time I thought the apartment must have paper thin walls that apparently I couldn't hear through, but now I think he was just an ass. Living off self righteous anger.

I used to listen to his podcast a lot during the 2020 election. He's... Fine. It's interesting to hear about the polls, but also i realized it was a worthless waste of time feeding my anxiety. I was generally a less happy person from listening to it.

I don't really get this tweet though. He's just saying "there are different groups of democrats"? Like the 2016 or 2020 primaries didn't already show us that? Or are they just trying to stir up tension between the two to drive clicks?

I mean, ipads are pretty bloated with shitty version of things on launch too. Basically my first week with them is always trying apples apps and then realizing they're awful and downloading something else.
