It’s still better than WebEx because I don’t have to log in to that piece of shit software to start a video call.

Branch Davidians shit.

That’s no excuse. The results are still the same. They still voted for it by abstaining. It’s better to rip that bandaid off now and come to terms with it.

Bernie’s more of an outsider rather than establishment. He’s cool to stay.

Spoiler: They will waste their time.

I’m calling it. The Fed will start gradually lowering its interest rates down to near 0 as the stock market booms with cheap money. The news will show troubling social and geopolitical problems that will be quickly swept over by the latest Dow Jones and S&P 500 values getting to absurd heights. People will start grumbling about the nation’s problems again while Trump will say it’s the “Deep State” causing all of this and pointing the finger at Democrats and undocumented immigrants.

Inflation starts to spike again at the start of the 4th year of Trump’s presidency. Even more people will start to go homeless as the average monthly cost of a 1 bedroom apartment soars to $3k. If Trump is still “healthy”, the Supreme Court will declare a sitting president can hold on to power during times of emergency and cancel US elections.

You should reply with “you look like Jackie Chan!”

Unions are illegal in a Communist state? That’s hilariously ironic and sad.

It’s really hard to see your point when the American judicial branch is so obviously beholden to party politics and special interests. Judges can be voted on a lifetime appointment by a simple majority of 51 senators, who are likely to represent less than half the voting population of the country. I really think it’s time for clunkier and more archaic forms of democracy to make way for a more direct and agile way to run the government. At the rate we’re going, generations-long problems like climate change will be addressed when it’s too late.

There’s a guy at work who wears a MAGA hat all the time. I often think about telling him I want nothing to do with him liking a fucking Nazi but have to be civil and polite because he also acts the same way. It fucking sucks I can’t tell him what I really think because we’re in a professional setting and it would be stupid to start something up.

Gen alpha’s still quite young so I don’t expect them to contribute much yet. I’m only sorry about the wasted potential because of lazy parents giving them iPads and scummy millennials filling their content feeds with skibidi toilet and other click bait mindrot. The pandemic certainly contributed to their social and technological ineptitude as well.

I don’t know about coding. Don’t most gen alphas have a lower proficiency with desktop computers because they’re used to iPads and phones? I get you can code on a tablet but it would be such a pain to do it right that most wouldn’t bother doing it that way.

Cara is always feminine. Caro for example means expensive.

Yeah Blinken, wag your finger a little harder. That’ll make them stop the genocide.

I prefer the term managed democracy.

American politicians are cucks to Netanyahu and will let him do anything they want because of a few strategically placed bribes to PACs and major news outlets. It’s embarrassing how blatantly easy it is to affect the levers of power in the world.

If you do get an e bike later know that some brands are very bad with reliability and support so you can end up with a $2000 brick on wheels. Case in point: Rad Power Bikes, their batteries can die just a year after purchase even with good maintenance and their support will simply ignore you if you try to claim a warranty repair/replacement.

The Zacua only goes up 85kph. While it may be good for intra city driving it may not be ideal for much else, even in Mexico with somewhat lower max road speeds.

PE was what inspired me to get into marching band instead.

You know LoRa hardware is getting cheaper and the reliability of these TVs are just terrible. This is likely to happen sooner rather than later. For now just don’t plug it in to WiFi unless you’re willing to go further and desolder its module? I don’t think we can do much via legislation other than write to our congressional reps.
