Two years at the earliest. Republicans control the House.

Cold calling is the equivalent of barging into someone's house and yelling "Fuck you and what you're doing. I'm more important."

Because it's essentially free and hooks into the existing MS tools for data retention, data loss prevention, security monitoring, etc.

He was given a chance in 2020 and lost by a pretty large margin. I voted for him twice. The reality is progressives are not popular, even within the Democratic party. If we want that to change, we need to first convince people from the bottom up instead of expecting some kind of top down change.

Sure, but cold calling someone is still a dick move. Professionals have schedules and deadlines. The proper etiquette is to first engage over email or text and ask if they're free for a call unless it's something truly urgent.

If I'm trying to work on something complicated, it takes 20-30 minutes to remind myself of all the disparate pieces and get into the "zone" of productivity. Your phone call ruins that, makes me have to start the process over again and drastically increases the likelihood of me screwing something up. If people keep calling or shoulder tapping me, I get nothing done.

If you text first, it gives me the option to ignore you for a bit if I'm in the middle of something.

It would not surprise me if one of his flying monkeys in the House submitted articles of impeachment for the judge.

Also hard to do anything when the people only give you 50 senators and 2 of them are Manchin and Sinema.

The Republicans have the majority in both the House and Senate. To do something, you need power first.

And traditional LCDs with a backlight use more power for darkness. The LCD is transparent by default and turns opaque/black when a voltage is applied.

If you care about that, spinning rust is not the right solution for you.

The pardons were specifically for non-violent crimes.

The argument was based on real median wages returning to above where they were in 2019, unemployment being <5% and inflation dropping back to 2%.

There's not going to be another free election, so fuck'em.

Young people overall still went for Harris by the largest margin of any age group. The story is overwhelmingly one about turnout. The overall turnout was down 3% and the drop happened mostly in demographic groups that lean Democratic.

There are plenty of competitors to Steam. They just suck in comparison.

Streisand effect. There's a news story going around about Meta intentionally deleting links to Pixelfed: https://www.404media.co/meta-is-blocking-links-to-decentralized-instagram-competitor-pixelfed/

I'm sure Zuckerberg's recent comments are helping as well.

They don't. They trust what I tell them.

Notice how no one is talking about the Republican infighting over Trump and Elon's support for immigration?
