  • He doesn't have it to hand over

    Yes he does. He has to either pay the judgement to her, or put it in escrow if he plans to appeal.

    That's over three times what the judge in his fraud trial said Mar-a-Lago was worth (Trump claimed it was worth $1 billion).

    I don't understand this statement. Are you suggesting that the reason you think he doesn't have to pay is because it's a lot of money?

  • Maybe we should all move to Austin, if only they'd move Austin out of Texas and into a better state.

    You're about a decade and a half too late on that idea. Austin is crumbling under the massive weight of newcomers (mostly tech). Housing, rent, traffic, you name it. It's no longer the haven of good jobs and cheaper living that it was 15 - 20 years ago.

  • I really think people either forgot or still don't understand just how close the insurrection was to succeeding. Change one part of Mike Pence's story and we'd be in a whole different -- and much darker -- timeline. There's plenty of evidence that suggests a different outcome if a similar coup is attempted this time. The law is on our side, and so are states' rights, we need to enforce them.

  • You're not wrong, but who would this be trying to convince? Is there anyone out there still on the fence about Trump, and at the same time capable of observing and understanding this double standard scenario to the point they'd change their mind? MAGA folk keep telling us and showing us they don't care about hypocrisy, double standards, or fairness. We should believe them and move on to a different strategy.

  • One small point: Undocumented immigrants absolutely do pay taxes. They pay sales taxes, gas taxes, and contribute billions annually in income taxes. It may be true that not all of them pay income taxes, but many of them do.

    And not for nothin, but there are plenty of citizens who pay little or no taxes too. And if you're worried about people not paying their fair share of taxes, it's weird to focus on such an underprivileged group when our corporations and billionaires are almost the whole fuckin pie chart. It's not even close.

  • My problem with the fingerprint reader in the display is that it just doesn't work well. I'm on a pixel 7 pro, and more often than not it will try and fail a few times, then require a pin unlock. My pixel 5 with the fingerprint reader on the back was nearly flawless.

  • As opposed to fucking what? Trump? Because more and worse Trump is what you'd get if you didn't have Biden.

    He's not perfect. But he's managed to keep this crumbling nation together for at least a few more years. Every single option on the Republican side is a nightmare compared to Biden. If the Democrats can come up with someone better than Biden who can also defeat the Republican nominee, great, let's do it. Until then, we should all remember that there's a huge fucking cliff from where we are now vs where we'd be without Biden.

    Don't get complacent. Don't take it for granted.

  • pihole misses a ton of things that ublock can do

    This seems like more of an issue of the adlists you use in pihole. Pihole's blocking is only as good as the adlists you use on it. I've been running a pihole on my home network for years, and I find that as long as I take a few minutes to update the adlists (add new ones, remove dead ones) once or twice a year, it nukes nearly everything. And it's amazing for blocking things on IoT devices where ublock origin will never be a thing.

    Also, they're not mutually exclusive -- one can certainly use both. I use pihole on my home network, and run ffox + UBO on my computers and phone.
