I’d still vote for him over JD Vance or whatever sick fascist wins the GOP nomination.
You would, I would, but the 2024 election showed that this doesn’t speak to enough voters to win. If the Democratic Party leadership doesn’t act on that info, I’m not sure what to do
yes! If there wasn’t so much overconsumption by a small set of very rich folks everyone could live a comfortable life sustainably, it’s so frustrating
100%. Weird that you’re catching downvotes for pointing it out
Except in practice living in the city no one ever steals from me and all the folks I know who live in rural areas are like “watch out for methheads, they’ll steal your shit”
The term originally comes from a divide amongst Anglo communists between those who supported the 1956 Soviet invasion of Hungary, and those who were critical. The tankies were the ones who supported “sending in the tanks.” These days it’s a disparaging term for any authoritarian socialists.
I have a few mechanical typewriters I got into as a hobby, it’s not that hard. This is where I’m just like, skill issue. People didn’t want to type, they just liked having secretaries around and were willing to pay for it. Back in the 70’s and earlier they literally thought typing was “women’s work” like sewing because it required high levels of manual dexterity that big tough men were obviously incapable of.
People could have always learned to type, that part didn’t change much with the switch to computers. I think they just liked having secretaries around back in the day and were willing to pay for it.
As someone who has attempted to communicate with an AI call center, that tech seems pretty far from prime time
Love 401(k)s. One person invests in the stock market, but someone else controls their stockholder voting privileges. Amazing system we have going on here
It’s not about me vs. others, I just want the people investing in harmful tech to fail. Not for personal reasons, just so there will be less harmful tech in the future. But those investors might learn something, and that would be welcome.
I loved netbooks… but I think I was the only one.
I agree, it truly is going nowhere. This tech is exactly as useless and uninspiring as it’s always been.
Who could have possibly seen this coming?!
Never heard of the Indian Wars, huh
Yup, super common type of just basic “car” in Europe and Asia… oddity in the USA haha

Just because toxic algorithms are making people worse doesn’t mean they’re inherently good, nothing that person said implied that. But also, buddy, you seem kinda depressed, and I’m sorry for that. Most people are basically good most of the time. The vast majority of everyone wants what is best for everyone else, we just have really shitty information about each other.
It’s extraordinarily frustrating to have no part in US happenings, but to be directly impacted by the dumbassery.
Congratulations! Now you know how most Americans feel too in this fundamentally undemocratic country.
The kind of shit you post when you don’t know that in the last couple years we’ve had multiple of the largest protests in human history. Sorry they didn’t make the fascist news media that is apparently your only source of info
Trump is trying to turn you against regular people in the USA (just like he wants to turn regular people in the USA against you) and it sounds like it’s working.
You’d think, but many of California’s current budgetary problems can be traced to a specific law making it very difficult to raise property taxes from the early 70’s onwards. They’ve already been doing this for decades
