He really hated Obama, but now there’s a real fear that the entire nation will say they like a black woman better than him. And I just don’t think he could handle that kind of rejection.

I just want to ride on my motorcycle

If I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die historic on the Fury Road!

They did this in 2008-09 with an 8k payment to homebuyers that wasn’t a loan and didn’t have to be repaid. This enabled me to but a foreclosed house and make it livable, and I’ve been living in it since then. It didn’t raise prices in my area, because no one was buying houses anyway because regular possible couldn’t afford it.

I don’t know if I would have been able to get so financially situated if that payment wasn’t there. I could’ve bought the house, but I would not have been able to fix it enough to ever stay on top of the maintenance and bills.

Would this be exactly the same situation? I dunno. But I know a similar push sure worked in the past.

And to add to that, set all your programs and links to open in Firefox by default, instead of the YouTube app, etc. then you’re blocking ads just like a desktop on every site you visit.

I bet the adult diaper cradles them just enough to prevent it

A broken clock is right twice a day - I won’t really bother to find out why they won’t go to DD, but I’m already boycotting them because their donuts suck and their coffee isn’t as good as my local coffee shop.

Donut is in their name, and they can’t even have fresh ones made? Lazy and greedy corpos run that place.

They’re probably set up to conserve battery power and stay up for hours at a time, whereas kamicrazy drones are full of speed and explosives so they don’t need to stay up long. As soon as a UAV is spotted, they launch to intercept.

Just a guess, though.

Walmart.com didn’t work for me on FF for about a week, and it did work on edge and chrome (still broken on FF when I disabled all my add ons). However, they fixed it and it works now. I think it was just a problem with the build of the website, and wasn’t intentional because it definitely works now.

I think that’s what’s more likely - temp problems that could affect any browser until their web dev fixes it. Not anything malicious like intentionally blocking a browser.

And then, it’s just Walmart. It’s nothing that really mattered.

I don’t agree with the ratings. Fox News gets a “medium” which puts it on the same ground as a lot of actual news sites. There’s no way that should get anything more than a “low” or something below that.

I can’t tell how they’re determined other than a singular brief mention of one thing, so to me it looks like they made the call based on one event they cherry picked. But really, it doesn’t matter though to me to investigate any group that rates fox news so highly. I’ve had to suffer through their bullshit lies for years and find them responsible for a lot of the partisan damage we’ve seen over the decades. Medium? What the fuck does it take to get a low rating?

To add to that, I very much doubt any big company tests and verifies anything anymore.

Boeing ships planes with missing bolts and proper software, Crowdstrike pushes updates with no testing, we’ve all seen Microsoft push updates that break stuff because there’s no testing, and that’s just what comes to mind.

That’s how they maximize profits - get rid of testing environments, do minimal checks, and have the one guy doing 3 jobs at once just push it to production.

I’ve been in IT for the banking industry for over a decade and I promise you, we’re all a missed cup of coffee or a comma away from another massive outage due to a program or network misconfig.

As long as business culture is set to maximize profits for one quarter, I wouldn’t trust a sales website about “verification” or “disaster recovery backups” any more than I trust a used car salesman.

That goes for Crowdstrike, but also all of their competitors.

I didn’t even know Putin claimed he’d take Kyiv in 3 days until you said something and got all upset about it, brochacho. But now that you made us all look it up, I’m definitely repeating it to everyone, everywhere.

Can you tell me more things that make Putin look like a fool? Since that seems to be what your goal is.

It’s not about less. It’s about then maximizing profits and they aren’t about to give anyone a discount. They want to know how much higher they can go before you refuse. If it’s lower than their typical project margin, they won’t care if you don’t buy because you weren’t going to be in the customer pool anyway.

Well, what I mean is that voting “against” a genocide across the globe could very well enable a genocide here, because it can and has happened before.

I live in a reservation, but I can drive 20 minutes to see the house my great grandmother lost to a white man because he was more important. My family tree has lots of people that died in their 20’s and 30’s of “Tuberculosis” and other BS reasons just to lose their land allotments, and we didn’t even have headrights to our land in our tribal deal to be removed from our homeland by force.

So yes, genocide in the US is always fresh in my mind and I don’t see that it’d take a lot to whip up Proud Boys and MAGA heads into doing the next round on anyone that wasn’t straight, white, and Protestant. And I cannot fathom why anyone would enable Trump to do that again because of Palestine, which Trump would enable anyway.

The US was founded on genocide. Right here, on this soil. And everyone at the time went along with it in the name of Manifest Destiny. But it didn’t end there. The US either directly or indirectly enabled genocide around the world through most of its history.

What happens when you can’t support Kamala? And Trump wins? He absolutely supports genocide and will help it along at a scale we’ve yet to see in Palestine. And worse. And he’ll bring problems directly to you, in your own home.

Would you trade millions of dead men, women, and children in Palestine for millions of dead men, women, and children in Palestine, other countries, and here at home as well?

Because I don’t see what you have to gain by helping Trump win.

Either side she chooses will lose her votes. I don’t know that anyone will accept any sort of fence riding, either.

It’s silly, but I like this headline better than “Trump supporter breaks into house and beats man with a hammer” or “Trump supporter kills police officer during attempted takeover of Capitol” or any number of other things we’ve had happen this year.

They’re going to buy a lot of Chinese-made red MAGA hats and flags anyway, so I don’t see this as too far off.

As long as it doesn’t lead to anything worse.

The problem is you remember eating it as a kid. Drinking lots of Coke/Pepsi/mountain dew, hostess cakes, and all that other over flavored, ultra processed food covered with sugar and salt.

Now, as you’ve grown, your taste buds aren’t used to the barrage and it’s just too much to enjoy the nostalgia. Probably because they’ve steadily increased the additives to make it more appealing to an increasingly desensitized palette.

I feel the same way. I eat much healthier, feel better, and save nostalgia for movies instead of food.

I’m actually surprised this is an unpopular opinion. I guess a lot of people here are early 20s? It’s easier to get back into the processed enjoyment mode then, maybe.

I think the “Biden is suddenly to old” stuff is a psyop, this close to the election. But the “we’re cooked” is a general feel I’m getting from my friends, too. It feels bleak. However, I’m in Oklahoma so there’s no way my state wouldn’t go for Trump. So maybe elsewhere there’s different opinions? I hope.

I also vote, even though I know none of my votes have counted since it’s always a Republican that wins, here. I don’t want anyone to have the satisfaction that they took my hope and resolve away.

I didn’t downvote you, but thanks for downvoting me and not answering the question.
