I didn't realize Jill Stein lost the 2024 Democratic primary.

I went to an interview for Life Insurance sales. once the initial interview was over I was sent into a conference room where other interviewees joined me and we were pitched the idea of becoming life insurance sales-people which required studying, testing, and licensing which they insisted we all payed for ourselves. After a 20-minute pitch by some d-bag with frosted tips said "Growing up I always dreamed of owning a Maserati, after my success joining this company I drive a Maserati!" The moment he was done talking I got up, turned left and went out the emergency exit. I still associate d-bags with Maserati driver and that was close to twenty years ago.

That's an interesting excerpt. I always thought the proper response to an identified whatabout is to simply say "I asked you first." -That's assuming the opposite party refused to respond to the initial premise, argument, or question. I imagine if they did respond to the initial premise, argument, or question then asking whatabout... is just a standard form of discussion and debate, or so I'd think.

That's a good question, it makes me similarly think 'What happens to the social contract when a nation & government no longer provide security to it's own citizens?'

I don't disagree. Few people are better positioned to help make that a reality, however.

Twenty years ago she had Whoopi Goldberg's job on the TV women's talk-show, The View. During that time after a discussion about the (IIRC) Miss America Pageant she made some comments about what she thought of Donald Trump as a person. Like a canary in the coal mine he publicly lashed out at her and has never forgotten that slight. The only reason I remember this much is because that was when I first decided I adamantly disliked Donald Trump. His words at the time were the same level of viciousness and hostility that he is still known for today.

You're not wrong, but these days the number of members of the public that truly cares (to point of taking action) about privacy is an extreme minority.

"Only the good die young"

Since this news is coming from CBS i'd just as likely think it was price-gouging.

We're The Middle-Finger Of The South

Solution to what? Being a real place?

Eh, Texas isn't a real place.

I spent my time fighting AppImages until Canonical started to force Snap on me. I hated Snap so bad it forced me to switch distros. Now I appreciate Flatpak as a result and I don't find AppImages all that bad, either. Also, I haven't found myself in dependency-hell nor have I crashed my distro from unofficial Repos in well over a decade.

-It's a long way of saying It works for me and it's not Snap.

finally some good news for us Samsung victims/owners.

Well, some of the GOP ARE Liberals, although, A few are theocrats. Your loss.

I think your username is probably working against you on this one.

Nonsense. Some of them have read The Bible.

fewer than the ones who said they have.

Yes, that sounds very much like a Liberal take.

" Punishing farmers (or any industry) rarely punishes those that deserve it"

When did that last happen?

i'm not sure it would make it okay but it might make it ironic.
