I think the country is full of ladder pullers. They made their way up and don’t want others to have an escalator. These people worked their way up (or had their generational wealth raise them) so it feels like oppression to have others easily get something they have.

… Right. I just love conservative-lite, all the fascism with none of the stigma 🙄

I honestly think that she should’ve won but the repubos cheated, as they do every time. There’s no way Trump swept every single swing state. All the polls showed it’s be a tight race but for Kamala to lose so utterly? Now, I’ve made fun of election deniers in the past, I see the irony. But its suspect.

I don’t have much to add other than what I’ve felt. Used to think it was hyperbole that the Democratic party was controlled opposition. Not so much anymore.

It creates a need that a private company can then fill. It’s greed and grift all the way down with these fucks.

Edit: (Bonus fuckery when they sell the existing instruments to said company for a “pay to play” access to information that was historically always free)

And it ain’t (the collective) you

Surprised no one has mentioned: Audio

I would either get two bookshelf speakers or a set of Hifiman Arya organics. Or a used lcd-x. Maybe a few guitar pedals. Or a new guitar. Or possibly a synthesizer.

With news of the election being cheated, I doubt it’ll happen again

Very reasonable requisites. I do want to ask, why would a guy go to therapy if he felt he never needed it or was never suggested it? I’m not against therapy myself but have wondered what would the benefit be for me with no clear issue that needs addressing, according to me and my partner. Plus they’re not cheap (for us at least). I do concede there could be a chance I have some underlying issues that are not immediately apparent but nothing I am aware of.

You know, I didn’t even think about that. They could’ve gotten less for an arrest, or maybe nothing. Just another arrest to their “totally-not-a-quota”. Definitely could see them saying that as a way of fishing for a bribe. Man I hate this system that’s been corrupt since it’s inception.

The system is absolutely fucked. My mother, years ago, had just recently given birth to my youngest sister. She was pulled over with a suspended license. She didn’t know she had unpaid parking tickets. The cop was gonna let her go until backup stopped by (why this cop needed backup for a car that had two small women and baby is suspect). One of the backup cops was vehement on arresting my mom, her newborn be damned. The first cop explained that they get a $250.00 bonus for any arrests made. He tried and tried to convince the second cop not to arrest but said cop did not care in the slightest about separating a newborn from our mom. My mother spent the night in jail because that second cop only saw dollar signs looking at her.

It’s absolutely disgusting that they have financial incentive to put people through hell.

Sure, to an individual, the milestones seem stupid but they’re the common milestones the average reach. Most people by 30 are married. Most by 40 have an established career and family. But to agree, who cares? We have one life and there’s plenty of worry’s to go around, so don’t add keeping up with the Jones to the list.

Like the fact that SS knew about the shooter way before he even set up his rifle? Or the lack of investigation into the guy? I mean they went on and on and on about hunters laptop but an actual attempt on Trump’s life? Never mentioned before this.

It’s that or go full on regular slave. Even if we maintain the old status quo, we’re still losing.

Idk anything about Canada’s voting. I’m assuming all the right wing votes were placed on places with lower representation?

Their end game is becoming another Russia. One where everyone is kept dirt poor and there’s a massive transfer of wealth to the the top 0.01%

I don’t think “epic bad”. But right now, I don’t see why I should use their platform when all my stuff is on steam. They should bring either: better experience or better value. Right now they don’t really do either. Sure they give you free games but I have 10x the amount on my platform of choice. I’m not married to steam I just want epic to give me a reason to use them.

What’s epics problem? I only log in to get free games but I think competition should work out better for the consumer

I don’t use either but have wanted to get into them. What’s jellyfin missing?

But I only have $5.00 🥲
