In our defense, the Republican "half" of the country aren't actually half the country. They're the smallest of the 3 major political affiliations among votin-age Americans: "None", "Democrat", and then "Republican". In that order.

"None" is the largest single political affiliation in America, and that has been a kind of negative feedback loop in our politics. People are disenfranchised and feel disconnected from the governance of our country, so they don't (or can't) vote, and because they don't vote, they're not represented in government and are easier to disenfranchise. This, and rampent legalized bribery, have created a great deal of our problems.

Not to say voters are the source of the feedback loop, it's being actively driven by autocratic politicians and moneyed interest.

Tab groups, vertical tabs, synced Workspaces. I've hacked together most of it, but being able to have separated pages of tabs synced through my account would be a godsend. Only thing keeping me on MS Edge.

We did square dancing, but I'm from Texas, so our families joined the hoedown. I was so proud of my bolo, fond memories.

And I don't think it was part of the curriculum, I think they were just throwing a party for graduation or something. It's been years, and this was when I was little, in elementary school.

sorry I eated them

Nationalize YouTube.

Specifically, nationalize the backend, Google can keep their website. And place it in the hands of something like the UN, rather than any specific country. I hardly trust Uncle Sam any more than Google's investors. They've successfully monopolized video hosting, now turn it into a public resource.

And open it up to the world, too. Google might get to keep their website, but everyone else can access the same database, too. May the best front end win.

If they cannot be trusted to compete fairly in the market, they should not compete in the market. Dissolve them, nationalize them, I don't care. We can't afford this bad behavior any more.

Replaceable battery, micro SD card slots are hard to come by these days, too.

Nice! Cop, Heffer, Hound has a nice ring to it, I think

Frankly, it's the cat's bed. I'm just sleeping in it.

I say otherwise, & I will happily bathe in the righteous flames of the eternally damned, rather than suffer the unholy blight of pickles on my beloved grilled cheese.

The politicians generally do, the voters generally don't.

Soy bilingue :)

Crazy Train, Mr. Crowley, Bark at The Moon, Scary Little Green Men... Really any of Ozzy Osbourne'a better songs.

I would be one of them 👋 I've used Windows up until I got my SteamDeck, & it works perfectly for my mostly light browsing needs, when I'm not gaming on it.

Thankfully, polling has suggested that he's actually more popular with Republican voters than Democrat, so we might get a reverse-Nader.
