Good reminder of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0YW7x9U5TQ

socialist like platform having an audience. Which in my opinion is why they wanted to force a sell or just ban Tiktok.

This logic doesn’t follow. What does forcing a sale have to do with being “socialist like” ? TikTok has been diluted into a sales platform anyway.

I don’t understand this. Small brained users rise up

I’m sure if there had been an open primary he would have ran. If he said this before the election and the result was the same, then you’d have people here saying “He should have campaigned for them and saved these statements for after the loss”

No, it’s not. People often forget where they got it from, and it might have been in the wrong place to begin with or already expired. Take it to the front.

I think there’s some misconceptions about this that need to be cleared up. If you don’t want it and you’ve already moved away from the section, the best thing to do is take it to the register and say you don’t want it. Then what typically happens is it gets put in a take-back cart and the employees take care of it

Daylio has 10M+ downloads on Google Play

On Google Play, Insight Timer has 5M+ downloads and is Editors’ Choice. It is not a small app, and it’s constantly trying to get you to pay for premium. I have never cared about or noticed low quality audio until trying to use this app. It’s been a very weird experience trying to relax and noticing how poor the recordings sound. I assume this is another upsell thing

This apps seems to be poorly rated. What has your experience been?

There seems to be little information online about the organization who runs it, Exchange Initiative. They have an inactive Facebook account and an abandoned website. I don’t see myself using this without having more assurance on its efficacy and privacy policies

A local political commentator put out this scathing review of her voting record and spending. Curious what other folks think about it because it seems pretty damming

I tried watching a video of his once because I was genuinely interested in the subject. There were so many jump cuts it was unwatchable. Now I know all YouTube videos for kids are like that

That’s a fair stance. But practically I don’t know what “Trumpism” will look like if he continues to not be in office. From my perspective it’s been a bit frozen in time since losing in 2020. Until the campaign ratcheted up, I didn’t know what he was saying or his position on current political affairs. So time and relevancy seems to be working against him, at least his direct influence. And if he dies I think there will be a lot of in-fighting when it comes to “What Would Trump Do” and will probably morph into something new altogether

RE: #2

When interviewing try to show genuine interest in the job and research to ask good questions. Care about it in the moment, then try to emotionally disconnect afterwards

IMO most pro-Haley support was inherently anti-Trump. That’s essentially what her campaign boiled down to, and I suspect she sincerely thought he will lose. If so, she’ll be well-positioned for another run, assuming two Trump losses will be seen as a death nail to his support (which might not occur, who knows, he could very well run again in delusion)

Disputing a CVE is no straightforward task either, as a GitHub security team member explained. It requires a project maintainer to chase the CVE Numbering Authorities (CNA) that had originally issued the CVE.

CNAs have conventionally comprised NIST’s NVD and MITRE. Over the past few years, technology companies and security vendors joined the list and are also able to issue CVEs at will.

These seems like an issue worth addressing. If it’s too easy to report and too difficult to dispute, I could see the CVE ecosystem be weaponized and turned into a political tool.

I played high-end games I couldn’t otherwise play, often at a discount, and then they refunded me at the end anyway. Pretty sweet deal

Flagging things like that usually leads to their removal

If people didn’t do this it would happen faster. Not everyone has the luxury of immediately switching, just like the “move to another state” argument

Software updates have, more than once, changed my settings for things like autopilot without warning, and I’ve only discovered it when driving and turning autopilot on.

I feel like this point can’t be overstated enough. When I need to go somewhere, I shouldn’t need to reorient myself because the car receives software updates all the time. A device that’s constantly changing is inherently unreliable, even if technically it’s improving over time.

I found this historical context particularly interesting.

And Ronald Reagan was somebody who did everything he could to curry the favor of evangelicals and white Catholics and the Moral Majority in the election against Jimmy Carter. Ronald Reagan delivered on some of those promises, but he ended up frustrating some of his religious right supporters. He didn’t go all the way. Well, we arrived a decade or so later to George W. Bush. George W. Bush was a self-identified evangelical who had been saved by his faith in Jesus Christ. And he certainly did a lot to promote the interests of evangelicals and other conservative Christians in the country.

But George W. Bush - despite what he did in Iraq and Afghanistan, when he left office, it felt like the itch had not been scratched, that there was still something wrong with the country because even though we’d had an evangelical president for eight years, the country continued to be less religious, less Christian. It continued to get more pluralistic, more diverse, racially and ethnically. And then all of a sudden, it was Barack Obama. And Barack Obama was, like, made in a lab to scare white Christian nationalists. So Barack Obama is president, and then we get Obergefell, and gay marriage is legalized.

By the time Donald Trump arrives, this group of Christian nationalist voters, whether they be evangelical, whether they be conservative Catholics or Latter Day Saints, are in the mood not for somebody who simply identifies with them and their politics, someone like Ted Cruz or Mike Huckabee, they’re in the mood for somebody who will act as the brutalizing barbarian needed to take the country back. If you want to colonize the Earth for God, it’s not enough to have a testimony that says, Jesus saved me from my sins or from my alcoholism. What you need is a bully, somebody who will put in line all those folks that you think are ruining your country and causing it to descend into the pits of hell.

You don’t just need somebody who’s going to go to church on Sunday and talk a good talk. You need somebody who will destroy in order to rebuild. So Donald Trump, yeah, doesn’t go to church a lot. Donald Trump, been married a couple times. But you know what he promises in ways that no one in our lifetimes has? He promises to punish those who have caused this country to go the wrong way. And so eight years later, we have a base that is more rabid to make him their barbarian king than ever before.
