The eclipse crossed into Texas from Mexico and was bussed to Buffalo, New York using Texas state taxpayer money authorized by Greg Abbot. I saw the whole thing.

Why Americans are bummed out about the economy (www.cnn.com)

US consumers remain unimpressed with this progress, however, because they remember what they were paying for things pre-pandemic. Used car prices are 34% higher, food prices are 26% higher and rent prices are 22% higher than in January 2020, according to our calculations using PCE data....

Food goes up 20%, Consumer electronics go down 20% and they’ll call it zero inflation. Not an exact example but an illustration of why things dont feel right. The things you have to buy most often are rising faster than the luxuries. Education, Healthcare, Housing it’s a similar story there.

Every day I read a new headline than make me feel like stealing is the closest any of us laymen can get to justice against these types of people. I hope one day massive crowds just take a run on whichever stores start to do this.

Im sorry but as someone who works in the field of disability this makes me irate. We have whole states who are not in compliance with the ADA when it comes to employment and even accessible enternces to state and federal buildings and yet the federal government is powerless to stop them, but we can use the ADA to sue coffee shops? Sure it’s a good thing I guess but the larger and more important provisions of that legislation continue to be overlooked and unimplemented despite lawsuits filed against states only seeking conscent decrees, but we can make a big scene of suing for non diary creamers.

agitatedpotato ,

Yes and advocacy groups have sued the states that are not in compliance on larger points of the ADA, like labor conditions. Guess how much media attention those suits get?

He was a mid StarCraft 2 player who said funny things when he got mad, I have no idea how it got to this. He was never funny on purpose, it was funny watching him be salty and now hes some political commentator.

They’re not American, the US government would sooner ban them than levy consequences on the American company.

Almost like they use buzzwords to obfuscate the real meaning of the ideas that threaten their hold on power.

Brazil military leaders told police Bolsonaro plotted to remain in power despite election defeat (apnews.com)

SAO PAULO (AP) — Two top Brazilian military leaders declared to police that former President Jair Bolsonaro presented them a plan for him to remain in power after the 2022 election he lost, but both refused and warned him they would arrest him if he tried it, according to judicial documents released Friday....

Well because according to his quote he wasn’t afraid. I don’t think he thought the company he worked for for 30 years would do this. Seems he said this remark only in response to what she asked.

Just saying, I bet Boeings lied more about things that caused humans to die than the friend of the family has so if its he said she said, I think she’s got the superior credibility. She just doesn’t have superior profits.

Make more dumb TVs and my interest in buying a new one goes up significantly. Im actively avoiding buying a new one even though I have to furninsh a good sized living room and all I have right now is a bit small for the space. It’ll still work.

Weird that across many industries they keep adding things consumers hate but get away with it because everyone else is doing it. How do people still believe in the premise of capitalism when consumer choices range from ineffective to flat out impossible.

Only hearing from family when they deem it important enough to pick up a phone and call or text me directly is one of the benefits of not having social media presence with non any anonymous accounts for me.

Dems lose, blame voters, move rightward, repeat. At some point they themselves will be fascists and their supporters will urge everyone to vote for the ‘softer’ fascist. They see no issue in continuing this cycle and pledging their votes with no conditions or red lines, exactly like how Biden funds Israel. Why expect them to do what you want if youve signaled you’ll never leave their side?

agitatedpotato ,

Media ratings too. Every single outlet that plays on TV would love a Trump victory because it makes people pay attention who would otherwise not watch any news.

Bidens new memoir “How to lose votes and alienate muslims” coming to a store near you soon.

And the reason Hamas in in power in Palestine is because Bibi was so afraid of the leftwing alternative that he funded Hamas himself to take them down. So yes, they come for the left first.

If literal genocide cannot convince liberals to consider third parties, then I’m convinced they will never support third parties. This is the duopolies Sandy Hook moment. If you see Genocide A or Genocide B and don’t seek a third option, you will never seek a third option.

agitatedpotato ,

The three letter agencies never had a plan for right wing authoritarianism because from their inception their goal is to prevent the US from moving beyond capitalism or making any serious moves leftward. From the fear of the USSR to the fear of the Black Panthers, to bombing a Philly neighborhood because of MOVE, they know their purpose and they know their tatgets. Fascism is fine by them, preferable even to anything that threatens the status quo of investor enrichment.

agitatedpotato ,

Israel is a glorified US military base wrapped in a religious flag. Criminal charges didn’t jeopardize their leaders viability, Genocide did not hurt his viability, not listening to the US hurts his viability. If I were Jewish I’d be furious my religion was being used to launder a military base.

agitatedpotato ,

Well if the road is only for troops then I suppose any Israeli on it will be a legitimate target moving forward.

The difference between terrorism and revolution is critical mass of supporters. If it was as easy as taking to the streets with guns I imagine more of the left would do it. We only have to look as far back as 2019 to Willem van Spronsen to see you’d likely just die in vain. Until then, train, agitate, and organize.

Id say give India a few years before deciding. Modi isn’t steering them in the best direction as of late.

Have you tried making things people want to buy instead of banning things people want to buy if they’re from China?

This meme is not new calling it reactionary is funny. Speaking of funny, Nintendo has previously employed private investigators to investigate and stalk modders so they could sue them better. This is an old meme for a old problem.

Last Epoch has been treating me well. The power progression feels good for the classes ive tried so far. The pacing is good too.

I didn’t stick to PoE long enough to say i played it despite a frieng group playing, just seemed like a bit too much for the amount of time I was willing to invest on just one game. Im doing endgame on my first character and it’s pretty damn fast. Im clearing empowered monolith maps in sub 5 mins. A lot of things one shot me but they’re telegraphed and im a rogue subclass thats 8 levels below the empowerd monolith level. I love the movement skills I have available I feel like im always able to be flipping around the enemies.

agitatedpotato ,

Theres some cool stuff ive seen but Im not super familiar with the classes I haven’t played. I got a rogue that drops turrets and a paladin thats throws tons of hammers in a spiral, so not exactly brand new ideas for the ones ive picked so far. Theres a runemaster I think its called where using certain elemental skills in certian orders lets you use a unique spell. Like fire fire cold would be a different spell than cold fire fire, and theres tons of combos for that class. I only know it from what ive seen others do, but for interesting a deep classes that may be the best example.

Netanyahu vows to defy Biden’s ‘red line’ on Rafah (www.politico.eu)

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he intends to press ahead with an invasion of the city of Rafah on the southern border of the Gaza Strip in defiance of United States President Joe Biden, who has warned such an offensive would be a “red line.”...

Biden continues to espouse that he will always fund Israel, his red line had nothing to do with funding. It’s not shocking that no ones listening to him. It’s either wilful incompetence or malevolence at this point.

I mean I’ve only heard of one party in this conflict shooting at aide bringers, and it wasn’t people from Palestine.

A surge of illegal homemade machine guns has helped fuel gun violence in the US (apnews.com)

Communities around the U.S. have seen shootings carried out with weapons converted to fully automatic in recent years, fueled by a staggering increase in small pieces of metal or plastic made with a 3D printer or ordered online. Laws against machine guns date back to the bloody violence of Prohibition-era gangsters. But the...

Go to home depot and you can make a pipe shotgun that doesn’t even require welding to make. A lot of fully 3d printed guns are 9mm. If you havent shot both cartridges I cannot explain the difference between 9mm and a shotgun slug. Maybe it will suffice to say the bulletproof vests that stop 9mm, when hit with a shotgun slug often result in broken ribs, punctured lungs, and general chest cave ins. Your 3d printed gun will undoubtedly have better rate of fire but in terms of accuracy and level of destruction, the shotgun will compete just fine.

It’s important to call things what they are. I know of magazine capacity laws written so poorly they dont even touch belt fed weapons and for the low low price of 1500 bucks you can convert the AR you already have into a belt fed weapon and constantly fire rounds until you run out of belt or the guns melts. And that’s just a part called the upper reciever which legally is not a gun. You can get it shipped online no questions asked, no checks required. Knowing what you’re talking about makes a difference. This is how loopholes get made.
