Trump didn’t win by “tens of thousands of voters”. I just checked and he won by almost 3M votes.

I’m not saying that Trump and the Republicans didn’t engage in voter suppression. It just doesn’t cover enough of the votes.

The post mortem is still pending but the theme is that, like most elections that Democrats lose, they failed to coalesce their base. They didn’t speak to the working man and tried to convince everyone that the economy was fine. While GDP might be good, you can’t explain that to the single mother of three working two jobs.

Sure wages are higher now than they were under Trump but the dollar simply doesn’t go as far because of rampant greed disguised as inflation.

The Democrats won’t learn their lesson. They’ll continue to slide toward the center instead of leaning more progressive.

Think of it from the patriarchy sense:

If you’re married, it means you implicitly consent.

So yeah. 50+ year old men can marry 13 year old girls and not rape them. Because the Bible says so.

Has Trump rehired anyone from his previous administration? I know he fired a shit ton of them but I know a few managed to stay on.

Because if this is all new people, it’s very telling and I have a feeling it means it’s going to be more dangerous and not less.

I feel like the only people who can do anything powerful would be the front line government workers and contractors. If they all quit their jobs en masse on January 20th, it might prevent the new administration from doing even more dangerous shit.

I wonder if mobile providers are still getting paid for long distance calls. Because if they are, they have a perverse incentive to keep scammers on the line.

Which, in this isolated case, I’m okay with.

If Alex Jones becomes press secretary, I’ll be convinced that this is all a simulation.

A part of me actually wished that the Onion would have purchased InfoWars, but in secret, like maybe under a subsidiary corp that has a right-wing sounding name.

They don’t change Infowars’ branding or anything but the articles become subtly liberal.

Maybe an overt purchase is better but I really want to troll the right.

Unilever is a conglomerate, much like Nestle, and has brands under many different types of products.

Yeah the fuckers sold out. B&J quality has been in the shitter ever since. Yeah they still sell pint sizes but I fully expect them to fuck with that too.

My guess is that it’s the easiest and cheapest way to set up “MFA”.

The number of banks that don’t have proper MFA really bugs me.

Seat headrests can be pulled out and the metal guides used in a pinch.

The trick that the Government has learned is that it’s easier and cheaper to buy your location data from a third party.

No warrant necessarily since the data is available to anyone who wants to buy it.

I was just thinking this. If you’re dev, being on pure Linux makes a ton of sense. But if you’re a gamer, Windows is still your best option.

I love it, but my company will not.

If it were up to me I’d be fully on Linux for work. Everything I do is on a browser anyway.

I recently got a Mac for work and noticed that tel: links open FaceTime by default.

I don’t know if there is a way to change that but it’s fucking annoying.

Can you provide a link? I don’t watch a lot of his stuff so I don’t know if I should be looking at his video from an hour ago or something older.

Nothing in the Constitution prevents the President from holding the office from a jail cell.

I’m telling you, the premise of this should be a Michael Schur production.

What we should do is put chainlink fence around the corner, but make the part that the users loved the most accessible with a monthly pass that they can only walk on with shoes purchased at the university store.

Do not under any circumstances bring your cell phone, dumb or not, to a protest.

Memorize important numbers, writing them in your arm if necessary.

Answer all questions with “I assert my fifth amendment right and will not answer any further questions without my attorney.”

The ironic thing is Breyers ran commercials about how you could pronounce every ingredient in their ice cream. They had like a 10 year old read their ingredient list vs. competitors.

But when they got bought out by Unilever, quality went downhill fast

For now. I fully expect rules like this to be fully rolled back so that ice cubes will be legally “ice cream”.
