So this won’t be a common issue, but just an example of “the future” Microsoft flight simulator is going to stream in almost all assets, textures, simulation results etc… they have a recommended bandwidth of 50mbs but I believe someone tested it and its more like 180 so just playing that game would mean you’re blowing through a data limit, it’s not something you could ever just download and just have on your local system.

I would also Imagine streaming video is quite high on the consumption of limits. I have no idea what the rates are on a video call type thing most people who work from home have to deal with, but that can’t be all that low as well.

Thanks for the clarification! That’s definitely a bit of a relief.

Media: John and Jane American, what are your biggest concerns about the future?

J&J: The price of groceries, housing, climate change, essentially the economy and my ability to live a comfortable life.

Trump: LEMME REGULATE YOUR GENITALIA! HATE PEOPLE THAT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND! VOTE FOR ME!

Magoos: mmhmm! He really cares about us!

Shit’s bleak

Good ruling and all, but I won’t keep my hopes up until I know SCOTUS hasn’t/can’t change it. I don’t for one second put it past them to say “actuallllllly they can if the results are bad for Trump.” but in more legal bullshit language.

What are you talking about, Bozos and Muskrat absolutely earned the 100 billion increase in their wealth over the last 10 years! They just Work Harder™ and are More Valuable™ than us!

“The new slate of policy proposals is part of Harris’ effort to make a direct pitch at Black men and make them a more central part of her campaign during the final stretch. Reuters was first to report the plan.”

I’m sorry but I can’t help but find this hilarious… Just a typical article explaining things, and then just “oh by the way I totally got this first.” Lol cool? Here have this Reuters! 🏆

“Donald Trump’s biggest fans have come up with an outlandish new conspiracy theory about Tim Walz. But the screenshots undermine the whole thing. don’t fucking matter because truth is false and fake is true in Trumpworld.”

I’m so sick of all these types of stories that claim some shit someone makes up is undermined or whatever. It’s the fact that the thing is said at all that matters, when it’s proven to be false it isn’t proven to be false to the Magoos. It’s always real when they want to believe it and fake when they don’t. Reality has no bearing on what they believe.

I was incredibly happy to be able to vote by mail, I really hope that gets expanded! It was wonderful to be able to sit down and look up all the people I didn’t know about and read more about the propositions on the ballot and then make my decision. Just popped it in the mailbox on my way out to work and that was it! Easy easy.

Also: “Don’t talk yourself out of believing this lead because of a bad poll or two.”

Stop reading my comments Washington Post!! :P

Big oof… What a “wonderful” person… Didn’t you know though, Roseanne was only racist because she was on Ambien!

Side effects may include: dizziness, upset stomach, headaches, slight fascist tendencies, blurred vision, and racism.

Fucking disgusting…

Yuuuup.

I find it equal parts infuriating and hilarious… These motherfuckers want to pull some “Jesus hates this one trick!” type shit to trick their lord into appearing sooner than would “naturally” happen and they don’t think the all knowing all powerful God wouldn’t realize they had millions of people killed purposely for this? Their meddling and enabling is what would have that region in the state of war “required” for Armageddon…

Like what?

Much appreciated!

I’m just a joe schmoe factory worker stressed out about it and trying to make sense of it all. I’m more than happy to have someone who understands it all better than this dumb factory schmuck tell me why I’m reading it wrong lol

It couldn’t possibly be about money, nothing in this world is ever about money!

Maybe do a seance and see how Henry Kissinger feels.

Of all the shitty things happening recently it’s always nice to be reminded that Kissinger is finally dead. At least sometimes good things happen.

There’s a lot to unpack in there but the following is the most concerning if you consider Kamalas current polling:

Even if the trend shown there was reversed Kamala is so damn close in current polls that any similar inaccuracy has her lose every swing state. I just don’t see her winning, but I’m a seriously depressed pessimist so… Here’s to hoping I’m wrong.

I just had to make a quick edit to laugh at the url that calls this a “short read” lol

Who would have guessed the giant man baby would throw a fit yelling “I WANT A DO-OVER!!”

I can’t fucking believe this guy is going to be the president again…

JFC I didn’t even realize he went to Congress now…

There MUST be a grift there. I guess they’ve figured out how to siphon campaign donations without getting in trouble or something or some billionaire jackass offered him a lucrative position after he “serves his time” doing their bidding in Congress…

I think he already released a statement saying Trump is perfect and has lost weight but didn’t give any specifics, just a general “all vitals are great”

Trump is running with that being an official release of a medical evaluation :/

if they accuse him it looks like “no, you are!”

This is exactly what I’ve been saying is the reason Republicans do it so often! You pretty much completely diffuse an argument before it even starts.
