The older I get, the more becoming a robot tiger seems like as good a retirement plan as I'm gonna get.

Software development is so fucking weird. If one bad (or even just mediocre!) product can ruin an entire company... The problems are way deeper than that one bad product.

The question isn't whether Marijuana is habit forming. Obviously for some percentage it is. The question is whether Marijuana use in and of itself encourages or preface additional drug use. My position is that it does not and by legalizing Marijuana we would find that it is the interaction with black market drug dealers which correlates instead.

Marijuana is not a gateway drug.

Having to deal with a drug dealer that wants to also sell you actually addictive drugs is the gateway.

Legalize pot, sell it at the grocery store, and you will watch the number of addicts in general fall precipitously. I guarantee it.

Ignore the polls. Look at the trump signs around you. At least where I'm at in Florida, they're probably at tenth of what they were in 2020. I was a republican in 2020 that voted for Biden and renounced my affiliation after the senate acquitted in the second impeachment. The only demographic that Trump is seeing increased support from is young men, a famously allergic to going to the polls group.

We should fight like hell to make it a landslide but the polls published right now are only there to drive engagement. Democrats have outperformed the polls by 5-10pts in every election since 2020.

He literally matches every single description of the anti christ and they line up for him (which, again, is a sign of the AC).

If trump wins, there will be no more Palestinians. Not in the Gaza strip at least. Israel will be free to take over all disputed territories and they will. Bibi is doing everything he can to make sure trump wins.

At this rate, "want" isn't going to be part of the conversation at all. There's not going to be anyone left...

A preference cascade by consumers leading to a death spiral.

Watch for tesla to spin off the vehicle business soon and refocus on batteries / energy going forward.

Google for THUGPRO.

Manchin is also retiring so you might be able to bribe him into voting for good stuff. Sinema will fuck us over just because though. It's her kink.

There's no way they'd expand the court. They don't have the votes in the senate. Voting rights laws maybe but I wouldn't count on it.

Apparently Anna Paulina Luna says if the motion to vacate hits the floor several Republicans will immediately resign, giving the house to the dems. Honestly, that's probably the best thing the Republicans could do. The dems would have to pass legislation immediately enshrining reproductive rights into law or they'd look like chumps. That would energize the conservative base and depress the liberal vote. The Republicans intend to institute one party rule if they win the presidency and rule by fiat. If they have to accept six months of abortion being legal in order to go full Handmaid's Tale, I think they would take that bargain.

You realize you're inside the circus right? Burning it down quite probably means you and everyone you know burns to death too right?

The foam gets on the gloves and then you take them off. Et Voila, no foam on your hands.

Just a reminder that if trump is elected, he will reverse this immediately only because Biden did it.

That's not speculation. That's a godamn fact.

Or they make a copy of your phone, alphanumeric password and all, and just sit on it for ten years until quantum computers make solving the password a piece of cake.

You should assume that any device confiscated by authorities will be copied and broken into eventually. Treat all data on said device as if it's already compromised.

The back pedaling has reached the "it was a joke. I was only pretending to be wrong" stage. What comes next?

Just admit you spoke without knowledge and try to do better in the future. It's not that hard.

Why would you even assume? The info is in the linked article. Point being, if you'd read the article you wouldn't need to make assumptions.

YouTube started testing pause ads last year, as reported by Adweek. These ads will pop up as banners around the video and can be removed by hitting the “dismiss” button. They’re going to be pretty similar to the pause ads that Hulu introduced back in 2019.

Pausing just brings up a sidebar with a static image ad. Maybe they change that to audio amd/or video in the future but right now you just seem uninformed and reflexively hostile. Maybe like, experience what they're doing before judging? Or at least before commenting...
