Depress the wages of the working class for the last 50 years. Suck your wealthy donors dry. Wonder why nobody has money to support your campaign.
Hard to sell the conservative agenda in a state that is pro-LGBTQ and pro-choice when those are the pillars of the current GOP.
People want a decent paying job with decent healthcare and a way to afford the cost of living. None of those things are compatible with conservative values.
During their hearing “I am a changed person. I would never do something like this again”
A year later “I don’t regret what I did, I would do it again, we did nothing wrong, Trump 2024”
The best thing about Windows is that if there is something you want to do, either there is a detailed guide online for the specific issue or someone went a step further and created a simple tool to accomplish that task. Windows is stable/reliable/accessible.
To run Linux it would need to be just as easy to install, be as compatible with games as Windows, and not have to involve deep dives into Linux user forums to accomplish basic stuff.
With the main intention of Linux, outside of just not supporting Apple or Microsoft, is to be able to customize your OS experience. I don’t have time/patience/desire to do that. I want my computer to be there ready to open a game launcher and launch that game without issue. That is true about Windows 99.8% of the time, I have not had that same experience with Linux.

There are people that like new things, there are people who prefer older things. I am willing to spend money on a new phone every 2 years because it is my main computing device. I, also, don’t miss a lot of things of older phones. I never used as SD card, I never replaced a battery, and I haven’t used wired headphones in a decade.
I like my iPhone 14, the LiDAR gives me a ton of cool applications, the camera takes the best photos I’ve ever taken before, it will be kept updated for the next 5 years and the always-on screen is very useful for unlock-free info.
If you trade-in a fairly new phone, you can heavily discount a new phone purchase as well. It’s more like leasing a car vs owning a car. Pay for the time you use the phone, return it while it still has value in the 2nd hand market and get a fresh phone.
On the other hand, my brother sticks his phone in his pocket all day and doesn’t look at it at home. He bought an iPhone SE a few years ago and it just works. He would argue buying a new phone is silly as well. But we use our phones very differently and so our purchase habits will be different.

Everyone stops at a stop sign. Cars, buses, pedestrians, motorized wheelchairs, and bikes. This is not an issue that needs separate rules for cyclists. Perhaps they can re-evaluate that intersection, does it need a sign? If cyclists can easily coast through the intersection, the need for a stop sign is up for discussion. Perhaps a Yield sign.
My area has lights for intersections with more than 2 lanes per direction of travel, roundabouts for smaller busy roads, and most of the residential intersections don’t have signage. Stop signs are, mostly, used to slow traffic down.
So Hunter has his leaked nudes removed from Twitter. Conservatives saw this as an opportunity to claim a larger coverup. When nothing came to light and Hunter was found guilty of a few other charges they have resorted to literally just posting his leaked nudes.
I’m sorry but if this isn’t just one of the more revealing things about the GOP, I don’t know what is. Make something very normal and done by many people, including members of the GOP, and manipulate the facts to fit a narrative. Push that narrative to the extreme until Fox News reports it as FACT. Hope that wins a few votes in whatever upcoming election. When the initial info is revealed to be bullshit, the plan did its job.
Why post the nudes photos? Because some GOP didn’t get the hint that this was just political propaganda and are following through. The same reason Comet Pizza has been threatened with gun violence.
This isn’t a scam message. I received the same message a few days ago, different date due to billing cycle differences. This is the same thread that confirms my automatic payment has been received.
Mr Beast is fine. His content is fine for kids to watch, that is his demo. He demonstrates that doing good things with the money you have is the best thing to do. Mr Beast gets a lot of flack for his videos but as far as online entertainers go, he’s a good one. Are his videos entertaining to me? No. Are they entertaining to millions of others? Yes. Is he a negative influence on children? No. The only real PUBLIC criticism for Mr Beast is he supports LGBTQ people and his video “exploit” medical problems of people.
Edit since it seems people think me mentioning he supports LGBTQ. Criticism for his support for Chris exists in the world. OP didn’t mention their politics, I mentioned the two things Mr Beast has received criticism for in the public space.
There seems to be significant crossover between people who believe in religion and the supernatural/conspiracy. The simple belief in a higher power of any kind is already requiring a person to use belief instead of fact.
The few people I know who were religious as young people and turned atheist tend to also not believe in other supernatural or conspiracy nonsense. This is, likely, due to the similar qualities it takes to believe in god are also required to believe in aliens or ghosts or Bigfoot.
Watching the UFO subreddit (when I used Reddit) convince themselves they are looking at a UFO that is clearly a balloon being filmed from a plane moving at 400 MPH is so silly. But as silly as people believing in god. At least IMO.
Way to go everyone, we kept wages suppressed and still managed to generate more profits off of their labor! Hooray!
