When you chase off the grandkids then who do you listen to more?

I have 2 beers on Wednesday at trivia and maybe do cannabis once a month

Is he going to talk about all the great things he's going to do and then just be a sort of racist disappointment?  Wait, that about scans with this Republican Party...

I wish they'd cut it out with "move fast and break things".  The companies that coined that shit were trying to get you to look at your feed more or buy more HDMI cables.  But you get these other psychos who use it to test out their own ego driven bullshit on unsuspecting people who may get run over by a self driving car or crushed at the bottom of the sea.

As long as Gene Hackman doesn't get censored in the superior movie, The Quick and the Dead, I'm fine with it.

He retired after appearing in his true opus Welcome to Mooseport because he knew he'd never do better.  After a long career he finally took a part that would never be matched.

I thought after Romney in 2012 the Republicans would dial back on the crazy, and have policies actual people living in the 21st century would agree upon. Instead they got Trumped. 

I remember a bunch of them grumbled about running people too moderate after their Presidential losses in 2008 and 2012, and here we are.

I don’t know the details of the French connection so called censorship, but streaming services being shitty is why I’m strongly considering creating my own personal cloud starting from physical media that I own.

I ripped my whole physical collection years ago and then spent years on the Netflix disc plan ripping those too to a USB raid cabinet plugged into a computer running a Plex server.  Physical media kind of slowly dying along with the soon death of the Netflix disc plan means my personal library is now being supplemented on the high seas via a Swiss VPN.

Just a reminder: this pair of man-children are the CEOs of multi-billion dollar publicly-traded companies.

I am still okay if one or both of them gets hurt though.

There were Republicans who weren't comfortable with this.  I live in Warren County and voted yes, but not at the margins we usually see in Presidential elections.

Florida approves PragerU curriculum: Why critics are sounding the alarm on right-wing bias

Florida schools approved use of PragerU curriculum days after the state Department of Education released new, controversial Black history standards.

So... why dogwhistle to the Nazis?  What's the angle on his whole thing?

They should just stop teaching reading, it makes you get ideas and leads down a path of moral degradation

This is definitely the guy I trust to create the everything app.

It has to be the most boring and lazy rebrand I've seen.  Also dumping the Twitter name is just goofy, when Facebook formed the Meta parent they didn't dump facebook, same thing with Alphabet/Google.

It genuinely blows me away that merely because he's "anti-vax" that's a dead to rights type dismissal by so many, yet that isn't his only standpoint. Personally, regardless, I'm at the point where I say "Let chaos reign!" and let the chips fall where they may. It isn't entirely surprising that the supposed left has their own Trump like figure now if that's how one may quantify it. To be fair, with everything else going on over the last 9ish months, I've done what I can to avoid a lot of news & such as it is far too stressful & my empathetic nature just gets crushed by how awful the world can be anyways.

 

I just have always believed in listening to all sides & points of argument that a person holds to, before making a rational judgement. From my perspective, it seems as though if one thing doesn't align with one's own beliefs, they're immediately written off now.

Being anti-vax is one of those things that tell you whether someone lives in the same world as the rest of us or not.  Vaccines are an objective good and save lives, that's just kind of a fact.  There's also the fact that conspiracy theories are a package deal, no one ever believes in just one, like he thinks that wifi causes brain damage among other things.  We should want leaders to at the very least live in the real world and I'm perfectly fine with mocking the ones who want the job who don't.

The web developer woman who didn't want to make LGBT wedding sites doesn't even make wedding web sites and was never asked to create a gay wedding site. She just went to court because she really didn't want to just I case it ever came up.

 

This is a complicated topic... because I wouldn't want to make a website for something I didn't believe in either... but if you just change her complaint to her refusing to make a site for an interracial couple and it starts to become more clear why laws actually do need to be involved.

It's not that complicated a topic.  Businesses have less rights than people, they just do.  They have to follow anti-discrimination laws (or did I guess) along with significantly more strict health and safety laws and other regulations that don't apply to regular people.  They decided long ago that "whites only" was not an okay policy for a business to have.  It just kind of breaks down to the fact that if you can't serve the public then you might not have what it takes to be in business for yourself.
