“Muted” is one word for it.

Nonexistent is another.

The only person who seems to have suffered any real blowback is the “pussy is low carb” guy, who probably wasn’t raping kids, based on his presence in the files. Larry Summers had to give up his teaching job, but he’ll be fine. He’s got generational wealth.

Also, this is why Donald wants you all posting about him being a racist. Stay focused on Epstein.

This is an objectively good thing.

I really don’t think it’s that hard.

Other countries have figured it out and nationalized these various industries. The fun part is that there’s still luxury, concierge medical care and insurance too alongside nationalized health care.

I would like to kindly invite this person to lodge their head in a deeply recessed part of their own anatomy.

I’d love that, but I don’t think (at least here in the US) that there will ever be a meaningful change to how killer cops are managed legally, especially after there was zero accountability for Uvalde.

There are only two ways to fix this that I see:

• Settlements need to be paid out of the cops’ pension fund.
• Send more cops to prison.

Neither of which the US is going to do, because here, the cops and law enforcement are a civic religion. Therefore the best most Americans can do is keep their heads down and avoid the bastards as best you can manage.

My brave browser still blocks everything. Very pleased.

Yeah, useless middlemen are kinda a thing in the US economy.

At least for the last year, the only thing that has tempered Donald’s worst impulses is markets.

So in a way, these kinds of movements and deals are essential to international security.

No shit, Sherlock.

This is why I am glad that social media is slowly becoming age gated in other countries.

It’s a bummer the extent to which influencers and careless people have ruined travel.

Absolutely, especially when other capitalist countries are doing universal health care and college.

If nothing else, go on record for posterity.

The registration and comment system is, unfortunately, a little cumbersome to use, but I encourage you all to take a few minutes today and submit a public comment if you can. Maybe mention Musk’s many failures and broken promises, and how you don’t want him to be able to integrate his companies further into our governing infrastructure.

I actually got a sick discount from Mattress Firm a few years ago just by asking their chatbot if it could give me a better deal on a mattress I wanted.

By definition, having one’s life automated means not knowing how to do anything, and that is very strongly reflected in the younger generation right now if you know any educators. “Why do I need to learn this if an AI can do it?” is a common refrain in their classes.

It’s not the life for me.

Consumers cannot trust Microslop.

If you haven’t already, download and keep O&O ShutUp on your PC if you’re having to use Windows and run it regularly, because Windows updates will roll back any changes you’ve made to its invasive settings. It will also help you delete Copilot off your PC.

And this is coming from someone who predicted the outcome.

There are several reasons, that Dems apparently would rather just ignore and make excuses for than acknowledge. Here’s my take:

First, and foremost I think, is that neither of these two candidates won a primary. Harris was selected by a president with dementia and foisted upon the country and Hillary’s primary was rigged, a fact later admitted to in court when the Democratic Party was sued over it.

Secondly, both Hillary and Harris followed Democratic presidents whose records left their constituents vastly more impoverished. In Hillary’s case, it was Obama’s decision not to address the Great Recession in a meaningful way for the poor and working class as well as the foreclosure crisis. In Harris’ case it was Biden’s decision to ignore the affordability crisis and rampant inflation. In both cases Donald was the candidate of change, and people wanted change.

In Hillary’s case, there was also the problem of evident corruption, made public via James Comey and Wikileaks.

Lastly, both Hillary and Harris came off to voters as “electable” scripted and inauthentic, and particularly in Harris’ case, there was a clear effort to stage manage every single appearance and her campaign suffered for her desire to be so controlling; whereas Donald went on a media blitz for the entire campaign and appeared everywhere he could, and despite saying a lot of dumb shit, he came off as authentic. (and thereby, more trustworthy, because it was abundantly clear he wasn’t trying to hide himself)

If you honestly think Harris and Clinton lost because they are women and/or black, that’s your right, but I don’t think that point of view stands up to facts. It’s particularly true in Hillary’s case, given that she won the popular vote. The answer as to why they couldn’t beat such a despicable man is that they are shitty candidates who ran shitty campaigns.

Also I meant that word in the sense that anyone with a grasp on the English language (which all other candidates had) should have won against the senile rapist pedo.

I understand your meaning. The problem is you’re wrong.

And it’s just annoying to me to keep hearing the word ‘electable’ as if that means anything.
