Fountain where the water comes out of the neck?

Well yeah, it is far enough south to be as hot and humid as Satan’s taint for large swaths of time, covered in insects like mosquitoes, and it is filled to the brim with corrupt, hypocritical politicians, and the ignorant masses that keep voting for them.

Who cares, he votes for the Republican talking points most of the time anyway. Grow a spine already and make it official.

What he wants is the party to cross the made up line he has drawn in the sand so he can switch affiliation “guilt free” and be able to say “ look they made me do it” when pressed about it.

Time to add LG to the list of computer display OEMs I will avoid like the plague on principle.

It is because the LG software is in one of the Windows Update channels.

Once Windows detects the LG display the OS pulls down the LG software and installs it like any other OS update.

Essentially they are abusing something Microsoft provides to better deploy legitimate feature and security updates for firmware to push out their data mining and malware packages.

This will never happen to me. Tucking in your shirt when its not a special occasion is heresy.

I hate talking points like this. They don’t “own” anyone. They just expose a simpleton world view every bit as disingenuous and damaging as the trickle down economics crowd.

No one, and I mean no one, isn’t a supporter of socialist policies because it is handing out free shit or more accurately put, shit obtained using money gathered from the masses, they are mad because that “shit” is not something everyone can easily produce an infinite supply of. Every argument against socialist policies lead back to the same fact that root cause, scarcity of resources.

You want to solve hunger, homelessness, etc come up with a way to feed and house people that can’t do for themselves without taking from the masses in a way that ends up in massive corruption, debt, and market collapse.

The root issues are limited resources and a society that preaches individuality above all else in every situation. Until those 2 things are no longer issues then socialist policies are just deferred pain and more debt, just like conservative tax cuts.

Pre AI driven ram/nand increases: < $500 probably. Now, probably >= $1000.

Fired the Democrat, but “allowed the Republican to resign”. That is some petty shit. Not that it surprises me coming from Trump and the hairs he has hanging on to his balls like DeWitt.

Can’t wait to see how much phantom voter fraud his administration uncovers exclusively in states run by people Trump personally doesn’t like. With no mention of how they know there is any fraud to begin with since it seems like they have fired everyone on the Federal side that had any direct insight into elections with this announcement.

I’m sure someone in the media will get right on that line of thought when the time comes. /s

This decision is final. Their place in history is settled.

I find those last 2 sentences amusing and puzzling. It is like he thinks he is the decider of what society at large is going to care about at any given moment. That level of ego must hurt your neck to carry around everyday.

“I can complain about Starlink raising their prices, but it’s the only genuine option we have,” former Nebraska state senator and Republican Julie Slama told the Washington Post last month. “Once they have rural customers on their service with no meaningful alternatives, they’re free to raise prices at will.”

Should we pull up the record and see who voted to allow that to happen in Nebraska while on the subject?

In my opinion if an elected official can’t respond to a request for physical proof of fitness for the job by those they supposedly represent then they should automatically be removed from office and elections for a fit replacement is called.

Oh fuck, not the dress code! The horror.

Bathroom water handling fee.

Hey, at least he went to the doctor and told the water industry rep what he was doing.

I agree with the thrust of this, but I have no faith in the resolve of the average consumer to make a difference.

So much of good public policy depends on the lessons of the past being something at the forefront of everyone’s minds when crafting, presenting, and voting for bills and electorate voting choices.

This meme is calling attention to another side to the same coin as the anti-vaccine nonsense. Ignorance of the lessons taught by the past opens the door for a new generation of con-men looking to sell the same snake oil to the gullible again.

This is a fight retailers lost along time ago, even if they don’t realize it. Even if it upsets some segment of the game buying population digital delivery and store fronts right on the console/PC are many orders of magnitude more convenient. And if the consumer loves one thing above cheap and flexible it is convenient.
