AJ won’t give up. Ever. This - not just the site but the narrative he developed around the trial and the attention he gets for it - is his livelihood, he needs to keep it up no matter how ridiculous, petty and pointless.

I hear it’s only a small, partial win anyhow.

No matter for AJ: one more time he’s getting media attention.

He cannot retain information for longer so whatever the last person he talked with said that’s what he’ll repeat.

What is the diplomatic fix?

And how did they change his name?

Thank you themattylee, that was perfect.

Add to that the very palpable effect “Not Socialism” has on the country right now…

I meant it from the POV of 2021, so “wins again in 24”

Really depends on how old Sadie is. 6? Hilarious! 12? Ouch. I’m going to cry later.

Usually (ime) it’s just another cumfy chair like the one she’s sitting on. Never had a chaise longue, nor have I ever seen one. Maybe 100 years ago, but nowadays it’s a cartoon thing.

While President Trump and the White House regularly circulate imagery altered by artificial intelligence, including demeaning and racist deepfakes, it is usually so over the top that the goal seems more about cartoonish mockery than outright deceit.

The photograph of Ms. Levy Armstrong was different. It ​h​as the hallmarks of brazen disinformation from the top level of government: smearing and humiliating one citizen in order to influence public opinion, while sending a warning to other critics to beware of crossing the administration.

Remember this when they say “libruls cant take a joke”

a misleading description of Ms. Levy Armstrong as a “far-left agitator”

lol, everybody who doesn’t lick The Don’s boots thrice gets that moniker.

Elon Musk was a trendsetter!

Big Oil, coal and other shit have been worming their way into US education for decades, spreading lies, esp. against climate and environmental action. I once listened to a long podcast about this, interviewing parents etc. It was very interesting, and very depressing.

In 2024, everything was already laid out for everybody to see clear as day - Trump1.0, MAGA’s behavior since 2021, Project 2025…

BTW, in 2016, both Mary Trump and Tony Schwartz predicted Jan 6 21: “If he loses the next election, he won’t go willingly.”

Ever since Jan 6 21 it’s been crystal clear where this goes if he wins again.

You nailed it, except “huge generalization” is actually being generous. The article is simply wrong. The author is speaking esoteric technobabble:

The upgrade death spiral (…) happens because upgrading one component of your computer can unbalance the system.

It’s the sort of argument a husband might give his not tech savvy wife when she asks why he repeatedly needs to spend so much $$$ on something only he uses.

I think FOMO says it pretty well, or simply consumerism.

Now that hardware is getting more expensive again, this is really sending the wrong message.

And OP keeps doubling & tripling down despite basically every comment disagreeing. I think they wrote that article.

Aye.

And OP is doubling down.

Not sure what “future proof” means, but my PC still has its original case from Windows Vista times, has seen 2 mobo replacements, 1 PSU replacement, and I don’t even know how many hard drive / SSD additions / swaps. RAM extensions too. Used to have a GPU but after the 2nd mobo/CPU replacement I dropped it.

Different screens, keyboards, and mice.

None of this would have easily been possible on a laptop.

In a world where hardware is getting more expensive again you are really sending the wrong message here.

Not to speak of environmental impact & consumerism.

CPUs are the same with real performance needed a new chipset and motherboard. At that point you are replacing the whole system.

I find the quoted statement untrue. You still have all peripherals, including the screen, the PSU, and the case.

You can replace components as and when it becomes necessary.

You can add up hard drives, instead of replacing a smaller one with a larger one.

Desktop mobos are usually more upgradeable with RAM than laptops.

There’s probably more arguments that speak against the gist of this article.
