  • I worked on mostly Chromebook repairs for 6 months last year, and I found it to be pretty straightforward as well from a hardware standpoint...especially when there was no point in doing most repairs because it would cost more than just getting a new one.

    For any OS issues, we'd simply take a flash drive and reinstall it from scratch. It's definitely gotten easier, but holy crap could it be slow as hell lol

  • Yup. Between all the time checking for legitimacy and evaluating the company, it's a huge pain in the ass to look for jobs all day...and even when you find one you enter the same information over and over because autofill from resume doesn't work...

  • Never forget the way the human brain works, with the more common interpretation being: "it takes 7 instances of positive things to outweigh 1 negative."

    For my part I haven't really noticed any difference, but I only infrequently comment!

  • Taiwan continues to keep the name because it mustn't give China a cassus belli to invade. Essentially, by keeping their name, they show their support for a "one china policy" and keep the door open to peaceful reunification. If Taiwan decided to formally be a separate thing, the PRC would no longer be able to "peacefully reunify with a rebellious province," and would be much likelier to invade.

    (I don't care for Reuters, but the facts are easily verifiable elsewhere)

    The PRC got pissy when Taiwan changed its passports to read "TAIWAN" in big letters and have "Republic of China" in small letters. What purpose would they have in being mad about a name change on a foreign nation's passport (particularly as it de-emphasizes the "China" bit)?

    Furthermore, if you look into history, Taiwan got rid of its claims to "all of China" decades ago

  • I love the big sweeping generalizations you make; it really shows an utter lack of understanding reality. Keep up the purity tests so the left can't ever get anywhere because we are too busy infighting I guess

  • It all rolls back to the same problem in the end:

    The dems don't need to care until the Republicans stop being utter garbage, or enough of the population forces them to reconsider at once. We are. ot there yet so the best course of action is to aid the party that won't take away your rights to vote.

  • Centrist Democrats right now don't need to accept tradeoffs because they are needed atm. As demographics shift, eventually, things will change as they must.

    As for accepting genocide...well, if I had to choose between my own safety and someone else's, I know where I'd stand...

  • https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NO_BAN_Act

    They did this...it passed in the house and has been stuck in committees for ages

    As for funding genocide...yeah the Democratic party has a problem in that most voters lean towards Palestine and the party doesn't, but its also a relatively "new" issue in the eyes of the public (most people didn't think about Israel or Palestine before this for any amount of time), so who knows? Maybe things shift as things go on

  • Moderate democrats are the majority in power, so it makes sense they are the most powerful and get what they want the most. In cases like Manchin, they get outsized power due to how tight margins are in the senate. That's how it works in a "coalition" of sorts. If Dems had a comfortable majority, they could force through more things. It's basic logic that a party with multiple different wings has to cater to the ones that are more likely to flip on them. In most cases, the left wing of the Dems will never vote for the Right, so it's a safer bet to de-prioritize them when compared to the right, who may vote right.

    If the left wing of the dems had more voters (which is slowly happening by the look of things), they could exercise more power, and if they had a comfortable majority (and more balls), they could ignore people like Manchin.

    As per your question, I have no idea, I dont keep tabs on every vote, but I am very confident my assessment of the situation is correct.

  • Right. Tell them to be grateful for genocide and scream that they want trump

    No, by reminding them that "hey we are the party that stops you from actively being deported and barred from entering the country."

    That's a damn convincing argument if there ever was one, and honestly if they aren't convinced it won't be a problem anymore since they won't be around next election cycle anyway after another round of republican rule...
