I think you’re missing the point. Do you think people that write this garbage call themselves journalists? Of course they do but that’s irrelevant
Yeah. Destroyed and annihilated are already a thing now, I think.
I absolutely despise that SLAM is an acceptable word in journalism. How the fuck did that happen?
That’s cool. I wonder if they’re planning an android version
Yeah it definitely sounds like we were raised similarly. So weird that our parents and others don’t see the contradiction!
Exactly. Same. Mine don’t even watch Fox News. But they talk to their friends who do and they’re under the impression that the media has been out to get Trump and have treated him unfairly since day one. As if the media wouldn’t crucify anyone who runs for president with decades of skeletons in their closet. My mother has heard trump say “grab them by the pussy” and thinks it’s offensive to have an issue with that quote. The same person who grounded me for weeks for less. I got spankings for WAYYY less than this. Lost a ton of respect for my parents over this. The worst part? Anytime you present evidence against Trump, they don’t just ignore its implications. They get very mad.
If there is no standard pace, how can it be light speed? I think you undermine your point by stating this was really fast. To the layperson it absolutely isn’t. And apparently to lawyers, it takes as long as it takes.
For sure. I am really still saddened that this works so well. Republicans are so tribal, it just doesn’t matter what they have on him. Never has hit a point where “ok maybe a lot was political but this is overwhelming”.
It’s gotta be that the anger and hatred trump represents is core to their very being. They can’t examine it. It would mean their whole life is flawed.
If this was “light speed”, how long “should” it have taken? 200 years?
I see you all over Lemmy being shitty. Blocking now
It sounds like you are making excuses for ppl. enjoy that ✌️
We should absolutely call them out on being hypocrites. These are people who vote against their own interests and against anyone’s interest who isn’t a billionaire. They do not care about the waste until it’s spent, ironically, helping poor people. But if a Republican wastes trillions on war or even raises their taxes, they’re as quiet as a mouse.
I wish it were as simple as you say. Republicans would never make into office again. But you’re entirely wrong about that simplicity
I’m not sure what your point is, but to reiterate, mine is that people are selfish and I think that’s a bad thing. I can’t tell if you think it’s a good thing or what.
The US spends money in awful ways. But these people don’t mention better ways to spend it. Only that their taxes are too damned high. they have no problem with billionaires paying a far lower percentage than they do…
Yep! And any examples of countries to have high tax rates but spend well are outright ignored. So annoying!
Why would anyone write “enby” when nb is shorter and whose meaning can much more easily be guessed at by people like me wondering what it means…?
Not if but when it bites you, it likely will not be pretty.
You’re rejecting dozens of not hundreds of ways to avoid having bad things happen, just a couple examples being having your identity stolen or losing data. These risks already exist no matter what you do, but they are several times more likely with every few months that you go without security updates.
Besides that, you will eventually be forced to update, either because your device dies and has to be replaced or because of something like software you require refuses to run on your 8 year old OS. When you get that new OS, the jarring effect will be much worse than if you just allowed your devices to evolve as designed. Updates are not a bug, they are an extremely valuable feature.
Your reasoning that it ain’t broke so you don’t fix it leads me to believe you have never written software. All software is inherently broken. Products under development for 30 years still have flaws so fundamental it’s hard to even imagine. I say all of this as someone who has had his hard drive wiped accidentally by software bugs, had email and other accounts randomly hacked, and personally worked with broken ass software from the world leading giants. And as a software developer I can say for sure: all software, no exceptions, is barely working. No matter how solid it it seems, some random weird edge case can cause complete failure
Update your shit. It’s not even that often that stuff breaks in (non Windows at least) OS updates these days
He is an alt-right douche and it escapes me how him constantly being purposely antagonistic for fun lends to being “likeable”. The abhorrent political views would be enough, but there’s a lot more.
Yeah, it is. Also have you noticed how many typos and ads make it into news articles these days? It’s bonkers. I even see headlines from huge outlets with typos.
