Deborah Birx takes 67 points psychic damage

I’m honestly neutral with the change, it makes setting up a new phone a little more annoying, it will just be another step in the process and doesn’t stop me from doing anything. However the small barrier will stop scammers pressuring people into installing things. It doesn’t make it impossible, but will get rid of a lot of the low hanging fruit.

That allows us to have career politicians

I don’t think politician should be a career… There’s an old saying i’ve never much agreed with “those who can’t do teach.” I think that a more accurate saying would be “those who can’t do go into politics.”

Yes it is!

I didn’t use that word because no one ever knows wtf it means lol

I kinda like the term randomocracy

That movie was criticized because it was on the nose, but if there’s one thing the last 20 years has thought me its that there may have been a time for subtle implications, subtext, and understatement, but it’s long over.

If you aren’t screaming it, they won’t hear you and even if they hear you they won’t do anything…

“we’re all looking for the guy who did this”

Some of us are greedy fucks, we let them make the decisions for some reason.

I’ve always advocated for a system where people who are qualified but don’t want to should lead…

I assume so, possibly because that’s how old I am, but it seems right.

I’m so used to ignoring who tweets are from that I didn’t notice till you mentioned it and scrolled back up, lol

As someone with a problematic relationship with alcohol, from a family of the same, i get addiction, but I don’t get gambling. The way it’s become normalized by society is so weird to me.

There wasn’t a light to see really, I thought he was an entertainer who was a bad in real life business man and found that entertaining. I had no interest in him as a political entity.

I don’t admit this much, but before trump ran for president I kind of liked him. He was a “bumbling, blowhard, failed business hack” that seemed to be a little in on the joke, The Apprentice, his appearances in WWE, he seemed like he was playing a character and playing up to how people perceived him… Unfortunately, he is just that and has no self awareness or shame, worse for some reason that’s still really appealing to a basket of deplorable people…

That’s how I felt about half way through the pilot, I said to my partner “I don’t think I can handle a grimdark trek,” but then they started introducing the actual premise of the show, how starfleet had a dark time, but was now rebuilding and reaffirming it’s ideals.

I personally liked the vibe, it felt hopeful. Dark times don’t last forever and things do get better, but still leave an impact.

There is still a utopia though, it has just been tested and they failed some of the tests and now they’re trying to rebuild.

It’s back to basics hopeful, a society trying to live up to it’s ideals again.

when the aliens arrive, and kill our leaders, I will write them a letter that says “what about their kids?”

But the underground society seemed to be more about finding their own version of freedom rather than outright exclusion.

In a world with super aids they still wanted to raw dog it.

pretty fun

there’s no paywall, there’s a donation ask, but you can just close it.

But the jump to 1080p was much less noticeable, to the point that people just thought its no different than 720p.

What!?

Unless it’s animated and even then depending on the art style, I can immediately clock the difference between 1080 and 720. It is another huge leap.

1080 to 4k though when sitting on the couch are basically the same.

Just don’t give the TV your wifi password, boom dumb TV.
