Thanks for clarifying!

I thought they invest any surplus into government debt securities?

Social security is a bad investment for an individual, but most people are terrible investors if they invest into their future at all. So by giving everyone that baseline, it helps out everyone else, including the rich. And is therefore a fantastic investment for everyone.

Listen I will fully admit it can be garish when overdone (like on ios honestly) and heavy on system resources for no good reason. But aesthetically? Aesthetically it kinda slaps!

I was a fan of this style when Vista did it. I was a fan when Apple did it, I’m a fan of it now. Give me blurry glass everywhere pls.

They also fit in great with Material Design 3 which is distinguishing itself from iOS very well.

I’m actively trying to DeGoogle but I won’t pretend this isn’t good design.

Yes exactly. Within the MAGA universe loyalty is paramount. What the do looks strange and contradictory to us, but in the universe where one man decides reality, the more you can make that reality a well, reality, the more valuable you are. Even in defeat.

I’ve actually always preferred a look with minimal scan lines but there’s no question that pixel art looks significantly better on CRT.

I was about to point out Greg Bovino, but he was allowed the opportunity to “retire” whereas reports are saying Bondi was denied that.

I’m not so sure, the entire modern GOP culture prioritizes loyalty to the leader above all else (even the stock market!) I think it’s possible these lieutenants understand that taking the fall for the leader will be viewed by the party to be an act that demonstrates the depth of their loyalty (and therefore helps their future career).

EDIT: Giuliani I think is probably an exception along with some other characters like Mike Lindell that actually are too dumb to understand what’s going on.

They must know that their primary role is to take the fall for Trump, right? Their job is to absorb the blows and bad press (and sometimes literal bullets), and once they get too much baggage they get dumped. It’s mafia style governance.

How is this vs NewPipe?

Thanks for catching that I edited my comment

New Republic is definitely left leaning but they are typically factual (citation). This is not their typical fare.

The headline is misquoting him, the full quote is:

“Well, because we all agree that it’s a tragedy having the school hit, and we all agree now for an investigation,” Fetterman said. “What I don’t agree with the rest of my colleagues in the House is that it’s a war of choice, or it’s dumb, or all the things my colleagues have described, you know, this operation. I think it’s a good thing, and I support that.”

Still glaringly stupid, but the headline makes it seem like he’s in denial it happened. He didn’t say the words “leftist” or “craze”

They got bought and a majority of the staff was laid off.

Oh I fully agree, but for someone who needs to make money, it makes more sense to post to multiple places including PeerTube instead of just PeerTube.

Vimeo is on the way out, so Peertube is probably your best bet but it’s nowhere near what anyone who relies on an audience would consider adequate.

My friend told me recently about TizenTube which is a youtube app with adblock/sponsorblock for Samsung TVs

Is there a list of all spaces?
