It's worse than simply surrendering privacy rights, they actually pay to have them removed.
People will pay top dollar for a the newest Apple or Samsung device every 1-2 years that scrape your personal data at the OS level and come packed full of bloatware that does the same. And most people pay it as a subscription when they pay over time on a new device and trade it in before it's paid off, literally paying a monthly fee to have their data harvested for further profit.

Unpopular opinion:

Alienating liberals doesn't create more leftists, it only causes people to be dismissive of the term and dig in their heels.
Insulting them rather than educating them does nothing but divide anyone left of center and after the last election I think it's abundantly clear that we need to be unified rather than divided.
No one is going to argue that left leaning candidates aren't far from perfect, but they're a hell of a lot better than the far-right fascists were about to have in power in less than 2 weeks.
Yes, I agree modern liberals are too centrist and ineffective but at the end of the day they're light-years ahead of the far right, and I'd rather be agitated about having another centrist administration than alarmed and outraged at the onset of fascism.

Every service member I personally know is pretty open about it, it doesn't seem very asleep to me

When you were thinking about buying $100 of Bitcoin when they were $0.20 a piece, fucking do it, then sit on it for a decade.

I seriously thought about it, and talked myself out of it because it sounded like a good way to lose $100 and it would probably only lose value anyway.

It would be worth $50 million today.

The best time to get into crypto was at the very beginning, it's not even worth gambling with now.

His supporters will see $5/gal on the gas pump and tell themselves "hell yeah! It was $10/gal when Brandon was in office!" And move on.
They'll retcon reality to justify their love for their halfwit shit stained orangutan.

I can't wait until he fucks off to Mars and takes his fanboys with him.

He already has 34 felony convictions, so that bridge is very crispy for him already.

Why even bother trying to stop it?
The judge has stated started that he intends to sentence him to an unconditional discharge, which means they just close the trial and let him walk out of the courthouse.
It just closes the case and lets him off the hook, delaying sentencing would just keep the trial open.

Eventually one of his cars is going to blow up in the tunnel and they won't be able to get fire and rescue personnel to it.

I have a feeling Putin is putting expansionist ideas in Trump's head so he'll have the US tied up in a land war with our neighbors and anyone that comes into power after Trump will have the home front to deal with so they can't interfere in Europe as Putin expands further there.
China would have reason to work him as well to keep our attention off of Taiwan.

Water condensates on cool things and the body loses water vapor through pores.
I think the covers on the bottles should mostly prevent that though.

I would kill for something like the Miyoo Mini in a GBA form factor.
I get that there's a lot of nostalgia for the Gameboy / Gameboy color layout but the GBA/SD layout is definitely more ergonomically friendly.

In this case, it'll probably piss Trump off that she thinks he needs a "babysitter", and the more rifts in his cabinet and family the better.

What I don't understand is, if they want to be constantly making money and increasing profits, what are they going to do when they have ALL the money?
The lower class isn't going to have any money to spend, so the upper class will stop making money.
People won't be able to consume the unnecessary goods that the rich produce so their businesses will collapse, profits will stop rolling in, the economy will collapse, the dollar will crash, and all the money they worked so diligently to hoard will become useless.
So what exactly is their endgame?

Exactly, if he won in 2020 we'd be done with him forever in less than 2 weeks. But now we're stuck with him for 4 more years (if he leaves office at all) and he's even more unhinged than he was the first time.
It feels like a nightmare that I was 29 when he took office and I'll be 42 if he leaves office in 2028.

It's not even a slap on the wrist, they're just closing out the trial and letting him walk.

I had a job once making plastic handles for garden hose sprayer nozzles, we had cheap aluminum Chinese made hose nozzles that we plastic molded a handle around that said "made in USA" proudly on the side and completely covered the "made in China" stamped into the metal.
This was legal because the handle was indeed made in the USA, but it was advertised on the packaging in a way that implied the whole thing was made in the USA when it reality it was just the plastic grip.
