I love that I have the option to vote for people on specific platforms in NY. I can show support for the Working Families Party while still voting for Democrats as the politicians can run under multiple parties so I'm not just tossing away a vote just to send a message
If he's actually serious about this I can't believe how anyone could possibly believe he is actually a democrat... It's like every single thing he does helps Republicans and the parasite donor class. I feel like all I ever read is "Manchin shoots down Democrats attempt to xyz" constantly... Hell even your comment shows how conservatives like him more than liberals. In my mind he's always been a selfish spoiler.
Duckduckgo is a wrapper for bing? No wonder it sucks... I want to like it, but the results are usually pretty bad in comparison to Google. Takes me much longer to find what I'm looking for with DDG. :/
I don't have a link for it, but I read that YouTube is working on a 3 strikes policy for anyone using AdBlock programs... So after the 3rd warning you're not able to watch anything on YouTube at all...
I almost wish it was that simple. Unfortunately it's more about greed and the vast majority of politicians being owned by those with real power (money).
It's not a right vs left thing it's a right AND corporate left vs the tiny percentage of DSA Democrats that actually want to get a universal/single payer system up and running... I'm not usually a "BoTh SiDeS" guy but in this case it absolutely is. We have a LOT of shitty corporate Democrats unfortunately... The GOP is completely a lost cause though.
It's such an uphill battle because the vast majority of BOTH parties need the Parasite Owning Class™ to back them, and some count on the extremely well paid board member type jobs they're given after they serve in government. The types of jobs handed out so that they can argue they don't accept bribes and haven't been paid by anyone (yet...) It's a gross loophole that really needs to be addressed.
I have some friends like this... It's so frustrating. They have no idea how lucky they are to be so interested in such lucrative careers... They'd literally sit at home during the summer and work on things they found interesting. Yes they worked for it, I'll never say they didn't, but they didn't have to FORCE themselves to do it, they were having fun...
Now they're wealthy and enjoying work while I'm stuck in a literal sweatshop because everything I find interesting are just hobbies that can't be monetized... But fuck me for not being "valuable."
I'm really having a hard time thinking about what jobs this would create though. I get the internet thing, as people needed to create and maintain all aspects of it, so jobs are created. If some massive corporation makes the AI and all others use the AI, there's no real infrastructure. The same IT guys maintain the systems at AI corp. What's left to be done with it/for it by "common folk?"
No no no you don't get it, if we just remain on our high horse and keep the white gloves on, if we just say please a few more times, they'll finally stop acting like fascist children! We can't do something or the moderates might think we've gone too far by actually doing something and we'll lose them to the childish fascists.
"Inaction is positive action!" -some moron probably.
I always just say "I'd be better if you were checking my prostate" but I always get kicked out right after! I can never quite put my finger in why though...
I feel like there's also a "locked out" effect... As in I'm locked out of the housing market entirely now. It's insanely frustrating as I was just working on a promotion that would leave me comfortably affording the cheaper houses, then covid screwed everything... Now I'd be paycheck to paycheck in a dilapidated shithole in the worst parts of the worst towns around and the way housing seems to work, it's just infinite growth forever so it's never going back down....
I'm literally some dumb dude just making a joke...
Fox was created to control what Republicans think about their elected officials. It's propaganda. The executives being all "omg it's a disinformation machine" is absurd given they know what they intended to create which is why I made the joke about "obvious thing is obvious."
If you didn't know that's what they did then you learned it from the article, if you already knew then hopefully you just chuckle at a dumb joke. My comment doesn't affect anyone in a negative way, all I aim to do is make someone laugh it's not nefarious...
While true, my theory is that they might also want something else. I use a plate and sometimes she'll just beg for more anyway even if half of what I gave her is still in the bowl, I'll give her a tiny bit of something else and she'll go eat that instead lol
