The sad thing is that most people won’t even give a damn.

I am shocked…shocked to find corruption going on in the Supreme Court!
I’m also considering just getting a portable, 128GB FLAC player with a minijack connection and moving on with my life without getting involved in networking at all.
Yeah, I’d say that this is definitely the way to go. My .mp3 player only has something like 8 gigs of storage, but it takes a MicroSD card. With a 1 tb card, I can carry all the music I want (and realistically, given that your collection is pretty small, you could get away with a whole lot less than that).
Good for them! Hopefully this leads to a stronger labor movement nationwide.
And it’s just going to get worse in a post-Dobbs world.
Apparently someone, somewhere out there is subscribing to this shit, or else they wouldn’t keep pushing it on us. And frankly, that’s both hilarious and disturbing.
I live in a “first past the post” country that forces a two-party system and penalizes voting your conscience unless it aligns with one of those parties. While there may be flaws in Ranked Choice Voting that could emerge in fringe cases, it is so obviously superior to our current system that it is hard for me to worry too much about the nuance of how it might not be 100% perfect 100% of the time. Any (democratic) system is better than what we have now.
I’m quite fond of this joke that I’ve seen in a few places:
Q: What do RFK Sr. and RFK Jr. have in common? A: Neither of them pulled out in time.
I look forward to the day when my refrigerator stops working because the company went bankrupt, or because their server was down.
The sheer pettiness of people on the Internet will never fail to amuse me.
I assume this is a version of Apples To Apples that’s just loaded with innuendo and double entendres? Because if so, that’s hilarious and I need a copy.
Oh, I agree completely. I think it’s disgusting how the right has succeeded in shifting the Overton window a ridiculous amount over the past decade or so.
I’m fine with language evolving; my issue is that there used to be a word that succinctly conveyed a particular idea, and now there is no way to concisely convey that idea in English.
“Gay” changing its meaning isn’t the same thing, because there are still plenty of ways of saying “happy” in English.
The lefty side of me thinks: “We’re nominating a former prosecutor…what did we expect?”
The practical side of me thinks: “This is like Palestine/Israel. Sure, Harris could be better on this issue…but Trump is still a hundred times worse.”
The word “literally” has been forever ruined by people who use it to mean “figuratively.” Worse, there is now literally no way to actually convey the original meaning of the word “literally” in a concise, clear way.
You have to say something like, “A is literally 10 times bigger than B…and I mean that ACTUALLY literally.” And then people will STILL assume that you’re speaking figuratively.
I pity the poor fool who sets up their smart TV instead of just grabbing an HDMI cable and plugging in their computer.
File this under “least surprising revelations of all time.”
Couldn’t Congress also pass a law restricting the scope of SCOTUS’s authority? Seems like that might be the easiest path forward.
It’s amazing how the Republicans still get away with causing a host of ACTUAL problems and then deflect by blaming the country’s woes on immigrants (or LGBTQ people, or DEI, etc.).
