Hardly. Texas is "the south", but the real cousin fuckers are to the north and east of it in states like Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.

I mean, that's literally what Netflix is going for. They don't want engaging content, they want stuff that's "second-screenable" i.e. to have on in the background while you're on your phone/laptop.

More like Venus...

Part of the issue is that speeds are set nonsensically here and in certain areas they'll literally be set to randomly drop on a small section of road solely for the purpose of giving out speeding tickets.

They're super special electrostatic headphones, so they have to be run with a special type of amplifier, and the one they come with come is absolutely insane, and is a huge part of the cost. Honestly, I bet you could cost cut the whole thing down to under $20k, but you're paying a LOT of money for stuff like the fact that the amplifier case is made of marble and has one of the coolest boot sequences imaginable, where all the tubes and knobs rise out of it and retract back in so the whole thing is seamless. It's very much one of those things that get built when engineers are handed a blank check and told "We don't care what it costs, have fun"

I'm curious as to what makes it so nice? My gut reaction is to say "It's literally a rod of metal with some checkering", but I've been in enough hobbies to know that there are some very fine details that make a world of difference.

And yet Grindr never manages to filter out all the bots with "0NLYFANS" in their bios

It honestly blows my mind how these "leaders" get paid billions of dollars to run their companies into the ground because they have no fucking clue how real humans operate.

Thank you, we will absolutely need it.

Did I mention one of the organizations is the SRA? I'm well aware of the possibility of being loaded into a van and I'm going to do my damned best to keep myself, my friends, and people in my community out of them.

I'm so, so fucking sick and tired of all the doomer shut-in fuckwits who think that we're going to fix this by doing a Jan 6 style raid on the White House. That's not how any of this works. I went to a No Kings protest. You want to know what happened before/after the "parade"? Thousands of people signed up to move our state towards ranked choice voting, information was given out on protecting your community from ICE, and people are getting resources to be more politically active. Literally every political advocacy org in my area has absolutely exploded and we're at a point where we're having to pause memberships because there are so many people trying to join.

Real change takes a bit of fucking time and I'm so, so, so sick and tired of all the people who act like no one is doing anything, while they themselves do fuck-all but doom scroll on Lemmy and post about how it's all over.

It's a boss battle, and bitching about how people are just dodge rolling and parrying and have barely chipped away at the health bar is absolutely asinine.
