Yeah, I still occasionally call it Youtube Red. There's only 2 subscription streaming services I don't feel weird at all about paying for and that's YouTube and Dropout.

If you don't know the answer to this already, I suppose the backlash against Biden from progressives might seem like bots or foreign propaganda.

Though, maybe he should be dialing back the "let's murder all Roma people" jokes.

If he loses, which it seems like he's desperately trying to do, we will continue fighting.

Apple has a masterclass of tiering their products in just a way so that in every tier but the upper tiers, you're giving up something really important. If you spend the least you possibly can on a MacBook, apple guarantees you're going to have a very bad time for "doing the bare minimum to be seen with a laptop with an apple logo on it". Their whole tier system is an exercise in "how can we get away with fucking up these things just enough so the customer feels like it is necessary to spend a little bit more" every step of the way. Then they make it unupgradable so you can't sidestep their crafted feature tier system.

Don't have compete with BYD if you don't allow them to be competition in the US.

“I’m going to vote for a dude that will ensure the comfort of westerners at the cost of black and brown lives around the world and I feel good about this because the alternative is worse. Of course my life is more important than someone in Gaza! The status quo of this system isn’t stomping on me as much as it can and I’d like to keep it that way as long as I can. Yes, please focus your stomping boot somewhere else and I’ll continue to vote for that boot. There’s no ethical line I won’t cross to save myself from oppression because I’m a coward who refuses to listen to the oppressed”

Democracy is already dead if we are forced to vote for genocide. It might just take those comfortable with the status quo longer to figure that out.

I’m also not sure how relevant my experience is to this whole thing since my work experience is 100% contract work in a specialized field instead of salaried or employer scheduled. From my perspective everything is becoming gig work, but that might not be the case. I think it’s hard to budget for groceries getting more expensive if one year I make 85k and the year after, I make 25k. Employers just don’t seem to have as much money to spend on advertising as they used to, so finding work is hard unless you take less than what you’re used to taking.

All my peers seem to be having issues with finances nowadays unless their parents are helping them out or have a partner making quite a bit as well. Combine that with businesses forcing the end of work from home means we have to move back to expensive cities. It’s looking pretty bleak even from my pretty privileged vantage point.

But what makes the infinite versions of you bound to a range of 1-2 rather than infinity itself?

If “>2 and <1” in this scenario are dimensions where you don’t exist, wouldn’t the range of 1-2 cover every possibility of who you could be?

Right, I should've been more clear. I think there's a major disconnect between what the politicians want and what people want, but I think I was referring to the people when I said republicans and democrats in my previous message since so many people identify with either group for one reason or another. Not good phrasing on my part. It probably would've been easier to not use labels at all, but the main topic was about red v blue, so I stayed within that idea.

I also kinda need the hope of everyone getting sick of the late stage capitalism we live in and working together to fix it somehow. It's a lot harder to imagine that becoming a reality if it's only a handful of people going against everyone who calls themselves democrats or republicans.
