That “Don’t Be A Sucker” film made by the department of war in the 1940s is crazy to watch now. It’s almost a 1 to 1 comparison between Trump and the bad guy. Though that film is a bit inaccurate about how religion responded to the nazis.
I generalize millennials as too young to legally drink in the US (21) but old enough to remember the millennium. It’s not completely accurate though.
Firm disagree. Social media, or more specifically algorithmic short form content these days, is extremely damaging. It’s different from anything that’s come before and has nothing to do with connecting with your peers.
I graduated high-school in 2009 so I saw the beginning of popularized social media. Very few gained anything from participating in it. Mostly people who were good at marketing and building a following benefited.
Mostly agree, I hate Samsung in general (sent from Samsung Galaxy S22). Anytime I see someone considering their appliances or TVs I try to turn them to something else. They have made the best batteries for a long time though. I hope a competitor rises to squish them a bit.
Don’t buy a sumsung washer. I only buy used washers and dryers because I’m cheap and handy. Samsung is not an option because a large part of the user market is broken in a way that costs the same as buying new.
I do sort of disagree with your QA comment. Everyone seems to think QA stops once you sell a product, but it doesn’t. They did a full recall to fix their quality mistake. It’d be like if Tesla finally recalled all of the cybertrucks for sucking as much as they do. Massive PR hit to attempt to maintain quality.
Samsung was very transparent about their fuck up with the note 7. The article you linked makes it very clear it was a connection issue or a different manufacturer. At this point this is equivalent to the burn banana peels to get high or you eat dozens of spiders while you sleep internet lies.
So it’s one of the companies contributing to the dying diversity online. Almost all of these websites and services have become awful without adblock or require a paid account.
Mark Kelly is my favorite option too. If nothing else he is cool as hell and has that “great to have a beer with” quality. He’s also very white. None of these things should matter but he’s a great balancing choice for her presidency.
That’s still upper middle class lol.
Open secrets link is money sent to PACs. Try harder please
I’m a straight blue ticket voter. That debate solidified my support. Both are old as shit, but we are stuck with them because our voting system sucks. I’ll choose the non-rapist, non-felon.
I always focus on how I will view my choices 10+ years down the road. I always regretted voting for bush and McCain. Haven’t regretted voting blue since I pulled my head out of my ass.
Altria has done so much damage. Philip Morris did a damn good job hiding it’s influence in the vape market.
It was about 70/30 in my mom’s favor. The big problem with no fault is it massively favors the mom.
My mom slept around for 20+ years of marriage, was emotionally abusive to her kids, and never did much if it didn’t further her public image. From the outside she looked great, but now she is on the never talks to me again list. My dad was the primary breadwinner by a large margin, cooked dinner every night, coached multiple of our sports teams, taught us to drive, volunteered at our school several times per year, and was so calm I can only remember one time where he lost his temper. He basically raised us as a single father and never wanted to divorce because he was determined to break the cycle. He sounds fake when I type it out.
The settlement after two years of lawyering, and only one of the kids being not an adult at 17 years old, was ridiculous. He took on all of the debt, took care of all the kids, paid all 3 kids child support until we were 21, paid my mom alimony of over $2k, she took half the shit out of our house, and gave her a free basically new car. Oh and he paid for her apartment for a year. This was after talking the judge down for months.
We were firmly middle class, like $150k gross in the 2010’s when this played out. I had to pay for our groceries a few times because of this fucked up system. It basically fucks the good parent into the ground for a sense of equality.
Huh you know what, your right. Is there a word for purposely derailing a discussion by bringing up unrelated information? I guess it would be misleading, maybe?
Entering an argument in good faith with someone who obviously is arguing in bad faith is pointless. The biggest problem is often that those who make bad faith arguments don’t know they are doing so. Instead they lean into semantics to justify making bad faith arguments. Then start doing the “no u” thing before they start whining.
I choose to yell first because it triggers these types of defensive responses they would do anyways at the end of a good faith discussion. Kind of like splashing the antichrist with holy water so we can just know who they are.
Lots of words to explain away bad decision making. Our system is broken because we have a Nazi party and a conservative party. If not voting gives more power to the Nazis, then you voted for them. I’ll vote conservative(Dems) and be happy I’m not helping the Nazis. Absolutism only helps Nazis rise to power.
Edit: you are making assumptions about how my thanksgiving happens.
Yeah maybe. Still stand behind that statement. Insults are useful for people arguing in bad faith, those people should always be shouted down.
Eh, kind of. I can’t live my truth unless my family is safe. The ballot step is huge, it is between us and violence. That violence is the thing I want to avoid. I’m not above being violent but for me personally I can be more damaging by pretending to be something I’m not.
I fully support you pushing for change, during the primary. I do the same. After that fucking do the right thing.
Be heated all you want. You are still acting the way Republicans want. Voting third party is a part of their wet dreams.
Collaborator is a funny thing to call me. I am good at pretending to be Republican, which I will continue to do for my kid’s sake. Is it right? IDK. Like I said before life is complex and IDK what is going to happen in the future.
This is my narcissistic neighbor’s behavior. He has 2 dogs, but he treats them like objects and not as part of the family. He absolutely hates cats for no real reason.
It’s a massive red flag. I had to help his ex wife escape from him because he’s a DARVO type abuser.
