Nope. Climate change is a pollution issue. Reducing consumption can reduce pollution, but paying or not paying for a digital copy of something has effectively zero cost in the form of natural resources or pollution.

Everything I needed to know about school, I learned the first time I saw they would fire women over this stuff.

The PC parts pipeline is ever-so-slightly more diverse, although the article does say Laptop prices could go up by 46% …

Look forward to more machines being assembled in other countries before hitting US soil, same as is already done for appliances by way of Mexico. Lack of imagination and industry knowlege on the part of whoever wrote the article, or just the desire to fear-monger.

Frankly, prices rising is not something I care about. Taxing the rich has to start somewhere, even if its what the Dems should have been doing.

Silver Lining. Fuck Consoles. Nothing that powerful should have most of its capabilities locked behind DRM, Licensing, and Walled Gardens.

A Pimp Named Slickback is more progressive than too many people on both sides, and basically all of the DNC itself. Fuck all that “homies before hoes” non-sense. The corpos and military-industrial complex are homies, btw.

I personally know many who wanted the US out of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria, and trusted Trump over Hillary to do it. I know no-one who openly wanted the same and voted for her. I myself voted third-party the last two elections before this year, and Biden has only escalated our entanglements in middle-eastern conflics.

Jesus, just look at Biden’s rhetoric on Israel and Iran. Its downright bizarely pro-war, pro-genocide(in its failure to remotely acknowlege such is happening), and absolutely tone-deaf to what voters want.

The fact that you yourself have now said what you’ve said on the topic proves the opposite of your claims. You know no conservatives today, and you mock the notion that anyone is against the war more than you point out any reason anyone should have voted for Harris over Trump.

Muslims were a DNC lock-in vote till now, and absolutely no-one failed to warn them that was changing.

The only significant policy change between the two was the legalization of weed. Can’t tell me its the weed that made Harris less popular. In the end, she got my vote, where Hillary didn’t, and still lost. Decades of conservative-lite policy momentum is a helluva stank, it turns out.

Indeed

Same things Hillary’s book said. No amount of reduced foreign propoganda will make up for shit policies. If the propoganda against you is spouting as many truth and lies as you are, its your own damn fault.

What Israel is doing in Gaza and the West Bank is genocide. Private Prisons and Deportation Facilities are evil. Private Healthcare is a waste of taxpayer money. Student Loans are an unconscionable trap. All of these are things Biden’s party, even Biden himself, foisted on us decades ago and continue to lie about to this day on multiple levels.

Pizza-gate was a quaint joke of a lie by comparison to the shit sandwich the DNC demands we swallowin excange for keeping the oligarchy/fascism we’ve had all along behind closed doors. So sad for you that our governments rhetoric will now openly boast about the things you’ve been comfortable with all along.

Sure, sure. The problem is not enough pandering, handouts and concessions to the ultra-rich and … checks notes … foreign enemies?

Okay, I can’t even remotely keep a straight face for that non-sense. Whatever’s replaced the fentanyl in your dealer’s weed supply, I think I might rather be dead than smoke it with you.

Unless maybe you mean China? … but if so, why repeat the “enemy” narrative?

Okay, but now we all need shirts saying “I’mma non-profit whoreganization” and/or “support your local non-profits”.

I thought about spewing some bull-shit about expecting money, versus expecting free meals, versus expecting sex or nudes or whatever, but lets be real, none of us gets an excuse for any of it.

Shut up, Hillary. You already wrote your stupid-ass book blaming everyone but yourself.

No, no he wasn’t. If he were a better president, we wouldn’t be in this predicament. The best thing he did was drop out of this race, and still, his policies left so much to be desired, that Harris lost the popular vote AND the race.

I voted Harris, by the way.

Most amusing part was on first glance, somehow, I got: “For your safety, I have dwelt in the mountains…” I kind of wish I hadn’t checked myself.

I mean, in general, or in captivity? There is probably a huge difference.

Oh no, think of all the be-smirched well-adjusted people! Otoh, succeeding in the entrepeneurial world generally takes a pretty high-degree of being “well-adjusted”, regardless of mental-health issues stemming from abuse or otherwise.

There are also plenty of other things that can put a chip on one’s shoulder or break a person besides childhood trauma.

My wife had industry articles written about her mouth, and it was a battle just to get her mounts switched out for white ones and the metal removed for our wedding day, six years after she had braces put on.

Having seen photos of what her teeth looked like before braces, I would have still asked that girl out and eventually married her, although I see why she may have been even more self-conscious then than she was afterword(although I have my doubts anything was helped on that front too).

My own mouth is crowded with teeth I begged them to remove, now getting damaged by pressure from neighboring teeth and extremely difficult to clean between.

They don’t seem to care what we actually need or don’t need. Meanwhile, none of our kids have needed braces.

Bad fit for this community. He’s right. The entrepeneur world is full of the wrong sorts of people to be starting businesses, unless your only criteria for “success” is getting bought-out early for a ridiculous amount, letting all the employees go, and telling existing customers to go fuck themselves.

Those with a legitimate problem to solve tend to have the will and motivation to see that it, or more likely whatever small portion they’ve figured out, stays solved, at least for a good while.

Stop giving them excuses.

There are many days when I feel like this, and pretty muct every day for as long as I can remember, I’ve spent some time thinking about where I should go(outside the US) if fascism wins outright here.
