Steam engine breaks, you can fix it.

Steam engine with digital circuit breaks, you're a hacker, a pirate. DRM was a mistake.

Do it! Do it!

I want all the money drained out of there.

One day you black out. You wake up. You're now $20,000 in debt.

None of this debt makes sense to begin with. This change doesn't fix that.

To sum:

• Republican minority threw tantrum, because McCarthy passed a 45 day funding bill with Dem votes, and called a vote to vacate
• McCarthy before the vote "They don't have to vote to out me"
• Votes counted, need 5 Republicans to flip, and 8 did flip
• McCarthy blames the Dems
• Matt Gaetz blames the Dems
• Media ask why won't Dens save McCarthy
• Conspiracy already brewing in real time, it's all Biden scheme to install a puppet speaker

It's not my responsibility and it's all your fault. You can't make this up.

The irony of strict immigration laws being pushed by right wing politics would mean a hard working resident, contributing to community for all his life, will get deported on next arrest and get no recognition from the US because misrepresenting yourself as a US citizen is almost an automatic bar on citizen application in current courts.

Two things that make Trump the worst and arguably traitor to the US. Just so you know where I stand.

1. He literally try to overturn an election and remain king.

2. He piled on $8,400,000,000,000 to national debt. $2.5T came from his stupid tax cut law, which were only off set in the billions of increased tariffs, and about $2.3 from discretionary spending increase, plain old Republicans in charge and spending out the wazzu. Saving the last one $3.6T for COVID relief and laws, which everyone and their grandma pointed out the potential for fraud and abuse, but no guard rails were put in place and DOJ is merely chasing back millions in peanuts only because some fraudster was too stupid to keep their mouths shut.

Circumventing the Constitution and exacerbating the wealth inequality, were real acts of degrading the US, and at best just not giving a damn about the American people. Compared to all the other crap he did that were more performative, while below the office if the President, these two things have long term effect of weakening the county that I love. He's the worst President and the modern Republicans are only in for themselves.

“While safety and compliance are at the forefront of our mission, giving your ID card every time you want to visit an adult platform is not the most effective solution for age verification, and in fact, will put children and your privacy at risk,” DeVille says in the video.

What a personal data <strikethrough> goldmine </strikethrough>. I mean we must protect the kids ... from everything, everywhere, every time, at any cost.

Just a reminder. The "US Chamber of Commerce" is a lobbyist private entity.

Unity is dead, but at least one guy made it out like a bandit.

When the judicial was held up by "honor system" ... you're gonna find a bunch of cheats.

Absolute waste of tax money and resources, anyone advocating for this policy is an idiot and psychotic control freak that should never be allowed to opine on public policy.

Outdated values are driving this country back into the stone age. The body was designed to be horny as we go through teenage years. It's nature. Rather than guide kids on the safe path, fools would forbid, outlaw, prohibit until they can't control them after age of 18.

Here's how this plays out... Kids are going to masturbate, regardless. They will dive deeper into the Internet into places with no restrictions and be exposed to really messed up stuff. Hey at least the parent can pat themselves on the back, right, they were good partners that did everything right by the book, even paying the kid's therapist.

Please say you forgot the /s, I wanted the fediverse to be at least above average.

"What made you upgrade to the OLED?"

"Because I couldn't smell it anymore."

"What?"

LTT has grown to the point they can not act as equal to any small time team or start up. Linus decision has consequence larger than he can afford by pretending "I'm just another tech youtuber". With 100+ employee, and far outsized influence in tech, LTT must be professional in their decisions.

We're going to see if the country is run by laws, or this country is run by power. Too many have fantasized about ruling by power. Too long the opposition just blindly believed the system would check itself in an honor system. This case, from the home state of a confederate general, will reveal which path US chooses.

As the Lever helped expose last year, Leo’s judicial activism was supercharged in 2021 when a conservative surge protector magnate secretly funneled $1.6bn to his new dark money fund – the largest known political advocacy donation in US history.
Even the design of the student debt case reeks of Leo’s involvement, since just like the Colorado suit, it appears to have been based on DC machinations. As the Lever reported, the student loan servicer at the heart of the case – whom Republican attorneys general argued would be harmed by Biden’s student loan plan – would in reality face no financial harm at all.

The US has a serious problem about the impartiality of the SCOTUS. Dems not going hard to fix the problem is not helping the situation. Future of US Legal System is not looking good for the average Joe.

This is similar to the "correlation doesn't equal causation" fallacy.

Dual income and no kids, is due to the prospect of cost of living and raising a family out pacing income. Housing, vehicle, child care, tuition, are all the items pricing middle class out of options.

DINK is not a choice, if anything, it's more the result of not having the luxury to choose.

There is no pressure from the right, so why would he? The right are ready to burn everything down, just to own the libs. It's not about policy or national security anymore.

It always bothered me when in law class they said court "opinion" matters and can set "precedence". Then we go over case from 100 years ago saying they are still valid today.

I'm like ... is everything just loosely "understood" with final "constitutional" decision being made on the spot every time it's challenged? That's just asking for abuse of the system, try until you get what you want... Prof at that time convinced me there's more to that so don't worry.

Long behold, look at what extremists are doing at the SC today, and absolutely no rails to guard it.

Birth the child, and let him suffer, said the Lord.
