Now, if we can just get the robber barons and their wholely-owned politicians out of the way of progress…

Attempting? Where TF have you been all year?

President Messiah

As Tom Petty said, however, “the waiting is the hardest part.”

No, see - Trump loves these people because they’re even more full of foolish pride than him since they’ll keep supporting him no matter how much he shits all over them.

GFY & grow up. Then hope you never become homeless. Consider yourself blocked.

Unfortunately, nowhere near as much as they deserve.

Because when idiots are in charge, errors are made SOP.

FTFY because anyone can make errors, but these short-sighted assholes do all the wrong things on purpose.

Dangerously obsessed fans have been around since long before the Internet entered people’s lives - tech has just made it much easier to stalk people now.

If he couldn’t get just ONE to do the job it was designed for, why bother with more?

Well, that’s quite an insulting assumption of how our relationship stood. Even if he wasn’t into me as you not so subtly imply, he was most definitely into my spouse & the reaction was the same.

Maybe - just maybe - it’s possible some are different than others?

Nah.

My thinking is that he was getting the socialization with other cats at my aunt’s that he didn’t have as a solo cat in our home.

You’re one up on me. Many years ago, I was in a situation for a while where I had to home my cat at the time with my aunt who was a bit of a “crazy cat lady.” When I came to visit a few months later, he didn’t really react to my presence at all.

That’s the thing, tho - I could take them, and after a getting to know each other period they’d likely be fine with me. There’s no real loyalty as long as they get what they want. Dogs might adapt, but if they see their original human love even after a year or more, they’re dumping your ass for that person.

Love 'em (got 2), but they’re just not quite as attached to their humans as dogs tend to be.

Moreso now

I would expect beamforming to be used rather than needlessly wasteful omnidirectional.

Is that paper 100% untouched by machines? Is it manually counted by multiple people of opposing parties?

If no to either, then it’s untrustworthy.

I’m sure they only do that when they think they can use it to market themselves later. Given the number of complaints he seems to have received, they may just avoid the whole thing for fear of drawing more attention to all the ways they’re failing their base.

Conservative bullies believe they’ll almost always win in the end if they just keep at it and force their way through to their end goal. For most business & personal goals where they have significant control over most variables, this unfortunately tends to work out well for them. So they believe they can apply it to everything.

Social & societal issues are areas where they have significantly less direct control (unless you have control over most everything that society is exposed to from practically the day they’re born), which is why they rely upon lies and manipulation so much. The complexity of managing things you have less direct control over makes being successful at it much more unpredictable, however.

Since bullying their way through is their instinctive modus operandi, they’ll still try to do it with these issues no matter what feedback they get. So while it may feel satisfying to put them on the spot, they’re unlikely to take the feedback seriously - even from their own base.

It’s blatant arrogance that has been the hallmark of the MAGA world, and which ultimately will be their undoing. Unfortunately, we still have to sit through the process even though it’s so easy to see where it’s going. Kinda like watching a show with your kids that’s predictable AF, but that they’re loving because they think they’ve never seen anything like it before even though the basic storyline has been done a million times in their other shows.

Maybe when the right-wing media stop.
