I imagine it's possible but it sounds like they're going after low hanging fruit like streaming sites and it also states that they can't prevent people from using VPNs to get around the blocking.

Whoa buddy you left out the part where the move was condemned by the Democrats. Now you know they mean business.

I don't disagree but it's not as if we're dealing with people who have any sort of integrity or honor, who'll accept when they've done something wrong.

Actually most vehicles are only 1-wheel drive unless they have a locker or similar installed (4x4 would be "2-wheel drive").

Fat chance. I read he brought in his own server and connected it to the network at the OMB to spam emails to federal employees. That seems highly illegal.

the election is about damage control. You choose the least worst option available to you.

"Damage control" means both candidates are damaging to varying degrees, so what do you expect people to do once they realize that it doesn't make much difference who gets elected? Why do you think a majority of people don't even bother to vote anymore?

How does the rubber meet the road with this strategy exactly? I'm guessing it just means you blindly support the Democratic party regardless of the candidate and their policies, no? They can force on us a geriatric candidate who can't even get through a single debate or make hard right shifts like they did this election and you just cheer them on and give a thumbs up, correct? Those that don't offer blind support get turned off by this and the Democrats lose yet another election and allow Trump back into office a second time and you still blindly support the direction of the party? That's insanity.

If you don't like the choices you see, you have to get off your ass and do something about it before the election. Whining about after the fact will accomplish nothing

Who exactly do you think is whining here? I knew this was coming. The polls showed it was coming. You guys are the ones whining and trying to blame everyone else except for the party and their candidates who keep losing. I've been preaching this same shit since 2016, while an army of sycophants have emboldened the DNC leadership into adopting worse and worse policy even though it backfires on them (and the rest of us by extension) every single time.

Here we are before the next election and what are you doing to change things other than pledging unconditional loyalty to a nearly thrice losing strategy. What do you think you're accomplishing with this?

Well, it wouldn't have been an issue if Biden and Harris hadn't supported it.

They chose to continue their support for Israel's slaughter (and immigration crackdowns, and pro-corporate policies, and just about anything they could use to fuck over the average American) even though polling told them they were going to lose. They knowingly handed the government over to Donald Trump (a second time) and Elon Musk and you're sitting here telling people they're fucking stupid for not being on board with all that. That sounds pretty fucking stupid to me.

You're just giving them cover to go even further right next election and who will you blame when they lose yet again with their watered down right-wing policy that appeals to no one?

He's giving them the same bombs that the last guy was.

Why aren't you asking this of your elected officials with all the power to do this instead of some random person online? How ridiculous.

Harris and Biden chose to protect Israel over protecting the US and now we're all paying for it.

With EVs I think the criticism is valid. The government is selling them at a loss using slave labor and it's impossible to compete with that. The rest I pretty much agree. There's too much idiotic "traditionalism" here in the US that's holding us back in many sectors while countries like China play the long game and will crush us in that area at some point in the future.

Whatever happened to that guy who would include the Creative Commons license as a signature in every comment with the false belief that it would stop anyone from using them to train LLMs?

Morons and the clickbait media industry that wants to give them a platform to spew their hatred because it's more profitable that way.

That's why you get these articles filled with tweets from randos as if they represent a sizeable portion or majority of people.

I'm pretty sure retroarch has Gaussian shaders available to use with emulated games, so I'm going to say yes.

And I, Load Chodington, will be your arch nemesis and steal all your roles.

I buy Anker cables and they hold up really well to my kid's cable abuse. They have a braided sheath around them.

He's not even the first so far: https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/pennsylvania-laura-smith-towamencin-township-nazi-salute-controversy-elon-musk/4089263/

Instead they waited 3 years until after he'd already secured the Republican nomination to even file charges.

The Agreement between the United States of America, Mexico, and Canada (USMCA) was entered into force on July, 1, 2020, under the USMCA Implementation Act, H.R. 5430; Public Law 116-113. It replaces the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) which was in force from January 1, 1994 to June 30, 2020.

Hmm who was president in 2020?

It's not EV credits it's "cap and trade" carbon credits that they're selling.

Don't forget about all the searches for #Democrats and the like mysteriously returning zero results.
