He said “very briefly” which implies its back, but without clarification we’ll never know. In all actuality though, we’ll probably never know about a lot of things in the next 4 and beyond.

Luigi wasn’t talking with anyone. None of this would’ve helped them with him.

The cat is abducting itself. They’re not dogs. They’re rarely loyal.

Signal, Tuta, Proton. And that Apple bullshit.

This push to know everything about everyone is outrageous, expected, and depressing.

I think that’s Botox.

The bottom line on this is they could make it all up and we wouldn’t know the difference. There’s no real way to fact check this info.

Wherein the executive branch ignores the judicial branch effectively killing it.

She talks a good game now, let’s hope she sticks with that stance after the bill is introduced.

Cool.

Sure but it’s more this idea that everyone voting (or not) has the same knowledge base. Reading/listening, digesting, etc takes a lot of time and energy and many people have neither once they’re done with their jobs and kids for the day.

I’m old and people are what I do, so there’s little extra effort on my part.

To be like: how could they vote MAGA, knowing this, is not much different than saying: what do you mean you hired a guy to replace that window, you could’ve saved $500 doing it yourself, to someone who has never in their life installed a window.

You may know how to replace an existing window but that doesn’t mean I do. Assuming shared knowledge is usually a bad play.

I’m still sold on Gulf Dukat.

He will get all the contracts. Probably defund NASA. And destroy anyone with a pending lawsuit (USAID).

Great President.

Your knowledge base isn’t their knowledge base.

They’re experiencing the same effect we do here on Lemmy or over on Reddit. Silo-ing. Echo chambering.

I’ve tried sharing links with my people. The response is often “I’m not reading that fake shit.”

Your knowledge base isn’t their knowledge base. Breaking those walls is a key component of the fix for this.

ETA: No big gotcha in this cast it’s just basic info. The guy who runs it isn’t formerly trained, just keen on cognitive science. He started out mid 2010s with casts that could do well in a cog sci class, like the next incarnation of Tom Gillovich’s How We Know What Isn’t So. Great stuff. Then he lost himself in philosophical psych for a bit. Now he does pointed research topics with interviews.

Anyway, this may be what you’re looking for:

Steam is a last bastion of integrity. Given the present timeline, it will probably be bought out by EA.

So what you’re saying is groceries won’t be cheaper.

Lumber.

HGTV will probably die.

And housing. New housing costs up 25%+, probably.

Congress is in charge of the money. I think they need Johnson acting to do anything about Elon though.

Someone more up on the mechanics should clarify.

Ballot measures. Write them if your state empowers them. That’s where the democracy will happen.

It’s being scrubbed. Don’t expect updates.

You’re mistaking children for people.

They are commodities to be produced, like oil, lumber, and aircraft.
