Or something else

The new Outlook is fucking awful.

How did they fuck up email? Just put them all on the left and let me read and move them in the fewest clicks possible.

100%

They’re controlled opposition; they exist to block any leftist, progressive candidates from reaching positions of actual influence. They have abandoned workers and aided in the gutting of the middle class for at least 10 years.

Trebuchet my bloated corpse into Dick Cheney’s living room

I think my point stands.

“Just calm down” is better articulated as, “stop saying things that make me feel uncomfortable feelings.”

The rhetoric of manipulation and abusers.

It’s breathtaking how badly you missed the point here.

Nice metaphor

Probably just garden variety corruption and ineptitude

I would argue that neither the Harris campaign, nor her DNC masters actually wanted to win.

The Dems cherish their “underdog” persona and by losing, they know they’ll be getting even more donations from frantic, fearful Americans. And by losing, the Dems don’t actually have to produce any governance results. They can just sit back and wag their fingers at voters with a smug, “I told you this would happen,” face.

Yep. Lots of lessons in our historical precedents that Dems pretend don’t exist.

Nevertheless, I would 100% vote for Teddy Roosevelt’s corpse

Lies. But rubes love lies because they’re palatable and don’t create the challenge of critical thinking.

Disagree on only one point: the time for a cheerleader has passed.

The people now want a Teddy Roosevelt progressive. A person who physically kicks asses and legally enforces regulations on the Corporates who are undermining the country’s well-being to pad their pockets. A leader who is tough, speaks plainly, and has grit and vision for the conservation of natural resources.

None of these qualities describe any current members of the Democratic party.

100% agreed

This feels like trying to explain forests to someone who only wants to tell me about their favorite tree.

I get how the technology has changed. As an elder millennial, my entire life has been a constant shift of technology. From analog to digital, and back again- from betamax to DVDs, from 8 tracks to tapes to pocket rockers to mini discs to ipods. And including resurgences as people “discovered” the benefits of vinyl.

My point is that this new paradigm has shifted ownership of what we pay for away from consumers, to give gatekeeping power to corporate entities that can shut down, or shut off access, on a whim. And what’s the ROI? Increasing access costs without ownership is just a more expensive lease.

I am simply arguing that physical media puts consumers in a greater position of control over the property they have paid for than streaming. And I am intimating that it’s by design that technology “leaders” have moved away from allowing people to OWN what they buy.

FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF, SOUTH DAKOTA.

You’re a deadbeat state.

The federal share of South Dakota’s state budget has been above 40% since 2021, when it spiked to 56%.

The federal government provides aid to states and local governments in the form of grants for programs like education, transportation, and Medicaid.

I ain’t the fuckface whisperer.

They may be, but you’re missing the larger perspective by harping about the processor.

When the technology was ubiquitous, it didn’t require specialized equipment ie USB disc drives, because the necessary gear was already built in. Which means more people had access and more sharing was happening.

Of course there’s nothing stopping ME, I already know about CDs. But ask the average teenager where they get their music. Ask them how they would share an album. Do any amount of critical thinking about this, and my original premise holds true. But nah, you’ll probably revert back to internally screaming that some guy on the internet insulted your processor speed, because THAT is the point.

lol, ok. You do realize that if you OWN your media you can just hand over a thumbdrive or send the files directly to a friend? CDs are also cheap to burn. You can build an entire library for the cost of a couple months’ streaming access.

You are parroting marketing and those words are hollow.

Of course, but it’s worth pointing out that PCs phased out the addition of ROM drives, which allowed the layperson to rip their content. Naturally, this allowed Apple and ilk to introduce streaming access, as though it was a fucking boon. No CD/DVD-Rom, no ports, just an enshittified processor, display, and a cloud. Because THAT’S WHAT WE ARE TELLING YOU YOU WANT.
