Isn’t mumble hot garbage? My planet side outfit memes on it whenever it gets brought up.

The democrats are the liberal party. They support abortion, religious freedom, police reform, civil rights (sometimes), drug decriminalization, etc.

That being said, they are trying to encapsulate and entire half of the political spectrum. There’s going to be gaps, disagreements between individual party members, and places where one policy or value has to override another.

Its a retirement vehicle in that it prevents future rent raises from threatening your retirement, not in that you can/should live off of your home’s equity. Nobody wants to go back to work at 85 because their rent doubled.

People who prefer android because it’s open source usually use open source android because that’s what they want.

That being said, proprietary blobs and black boxes are a pox on basically every usable device these days. I hate it.

See, I know what you’re trying to say, but that would unironically be an improvement for most of us…

Ads have been known to contain drive-by malware. Even if you don’t mind seeing ads (which personally I don’t mind unless they’re very intrusive), an adblocker is important for online safety.

I had exactly two English teachers who were good, which was all I needed.

One when I was young, taught me how to communicate and understand complex ideas properly.

Another my first year of college, who taught me that deeper meanings and subtleties in fiction wasn’t entirely bullshit. Surprisingly, she did this by making us read Frankenstein and watch Blade Runner.

Everything in the middle though…woof. Learning to write academic papers has no value unless you’re an academic, and the other 10 literature courses I took all just made me hate reading, even the year where we just read my 4 favorite books.

Salads are just cold foods chopped up and mixed together with some kind of dressing. I.e. fruit salad, caprese salad, egg/chicken/tuna salad, etc.

Using gelatin as the “dressing” is a regional thing. This would be called strawberry cumfart jello here, not strawberry cumfart salad.

I also think only very old people still eat this shit. Gelatin in general is much less popular among young people, who want their food to vaguely resemble food.

Google maps doesn’t account for breaks. They’re assuming you can walk at 3mph, and however much time you need to rest and eat is up to you.

Just like 1 day and 23 hours is only drive time. They’re not accounting for the naps that you will definitely need.

Yes, but that’s bad too. Legitimacy of government is important, Biden sending out kill squads is only marginally better than Trump sending out kill squads.

“Mail delivery fee” implies this order will be sent via post.

Fuck em.

This is my partner. Has epilepsy, but no family, money, or insurance.

Ironically since they can only get part time work with flexible hours, they’re stuck in customer service, meaning when their hours get cut they have to doordash to make rent.

The level of incompetence I’ve grown to expect of my state government would suggest that they’d have fissile material delivered and stored in a leaky shed, where it will create runoff which contaminates the local reservoir, before a crackhead steals it, takes it to the scrapyard, and it is never seen again.

Like I said, we can’t/won’t effectively regulate the power plants we have now.

Our government is only good for generating moral panics and building roads. I hope that changes one day, but it has been getting worse for a long time, so I won’t hold my breath for it to all be fixed tomorrow.

Yes, but when things go wrong, the boom is relatively small and contained.

We can’t run a regular coal or natural gas power plant here without fucking it up and getting people killed. Despite the safety of modern plant designs, I do NOT trust the people in charge here with fissile material.

Sort of. As I understand it, the main issues with the cyber truck’s offroading capability are its weight (it weighs a LOT more than even a large pickup due to being an EV) and the fact that you can’t replace the tires with something more suitable for your intended terrain.

In this case, I think the main issue is the weight on a very soft surface.

Yes, although many departments are switching to encrypted radios. It’s a minor political issue, because it fundamentally means less oversight, but also in the event of a major riot or coordinated civil unrest you also might not want to broadcast patrol routed unencrypted.

Context matters a lot. On a 27" monitor, it makes a pretty decent difference. On a 50" TV at 10+ ft…meh?

This is a hot take, but get a pixel. The hardware is more than good enough for basically any phone use case and you can install grapheneOS.

The battery life could be better, but it will last substantially more than a day, so complaining seems a little pointless to me.

Fictional cops rarely have any ethics. Quite famously, they ignore people civil rights or liberties when they “know” that person is guilty.

It’s like the male lead of a shitty romance novel acting super creepy, abusive, and rapey, but it’s okay because it’s fiction and they always luck out and the woman is into it.
