Of course its fucking deranged. The fact I have to choose between two out of touch octogenarians is bonkers. All I am saying is one is bad for a middling response to condemning a war perpetuated by a different country, supported by our arms with very little he can do. Big D dems are grappling with an internally polarized electorate that he doesnt know how to make happy. Hes an old politician doing the best he can. Or you can sit home ans let an angry tryant that has expressly laid out his plans for genocide in our own country. No amount of protest or wish fufillment thinking will get the DNC to back anyone besides Biden. Its the same tunnel vision that happened with Hillary in 2016. Refusing to play dooms us all. Do i like this? Fuck no. But I dont want to watch my trans friends run to Canada to live.
So we should just sit back and let Trump take thr reins? He has laid out his next 4 years and it aint pretty. As much as I do not like Biden why would I allow an unabashed monster to destroy what remains of the country?
Not to mention how is this going to play out? Biden loses and those same people will end up deported or in camps. It is not like Trump or the GOP wont turn their knives in a moment. I get being mad about Biden not doing the right thing but trying to sabotage the only candidate that still believes in the impartial rule of law is short sighted, to say the least.
Agreed. I feel the same way about youtube going as Reddit did. For some of us, it is just a fun thing. Some people need it because it is their best access to knowledge. I worry for those who need it.
Youtube is a money pit. If it had to split from Google, they will need to up monitization pronto or shut down. While I do want Google broken like Bane cracking Batman, there will be casualities. Too many parts of our internet infrastructure exist via subsidization and we use them like utilities. It is going to be messy out there if the FTC succeeds.
Or, hear me out, we regulate them like the utility they are and don't give them more friggin' information on our lives? It's unfortunate but you can't put the genie back in the bottle. It's time to treat them as vital as access to water or electricity. If they want still be in the game and make some money, they need to fall in line. I am tired of my life being screwed around by companies that have become cornerstones of 21st century life rent-seeking me into oblivion.
I'm about five miles from my work with OK bike infrastructure to get there. My problem is every dickhead rolling coal on a lifted F350 seems to think I'm worth 500 points. Until they either protect the biking infrastructure or hit these people driving massive vehicles with some real pentalities for driving like idiots, I'll have to keep using my car for safety.
Could be if we tried. The democrats have been neo-lib appeasement artists because they are a part of the ruling class. This system cannot hold. Something will change. We just have to wait and see which way it breaks. Either way, I'm already doing the work to see a world I want. I don't care about the noise. Arguments like "Life ain't fair" are a poor substitute for putting yourself out there. I used to think much the same way. But, I had to do something about how bad it is getting.
You see all these people out here suffering and still say this? Where in the world can I get what you are taking because I'd love to be able to tune out everything that hard.
I don't identify as a communist. I just don't want life to be unreasonably difficult for people. Thats it. I just what the promise of what labor was supposed to be. I want it to free us from the shackles of work or die. Guess that is extreme left now even with tankies around the corner from us.
