They like people like Lenin and Stalin.

It’s a wakeup call for a lot of young people when they start to recognize the absurdity of anti-communist propaganda, but a lot of kids swing too far the other direction and figure all the bad things they’ve ever heard about history’s worst communist leaders are lies.

It doesn’t mean that Communism is uniquely bad, but these men were violent tyrants who don’t share values with most mainstream western leftists today.

Some never grow up and say dumb shit like that radical gender expression was common in the USSR or something…

The billionaire to “devout Christian” pipeline isn’t really a secret.

I don’t intend to start it, I intend to finish it.

Republicans have spent the past 50 years screaming that guns exist to thwart a tyrannical government. Not that they bring tyranny to our doorstep, I’m not writing off the one thing they’ve admitted could stop them.

The current brand of right wing fascism taking over in this country will kill millions if left unchecked. I’m not encumbered by the trolley problem here, the people who want to bring fascism to America should die if that’s what it takes to stop them.

Just drone strike the debate. No survivors. People want both candidates off the table, give the people what they want.

Nah, running your mouth about shit you don’t understand isn’t considered legal advice under most circumstances. He’ll be grifting effectively immediately.

yup I’m totally saying let’s do nothing about this. You people are brilliant.

What should we do then? The default assumption is nothing, give us something to actually work with or the assumption is true.

Imagine expanding the court by 4 seats, 4 months before the election and thinking that Republicans in Congress are going to let a single one squeak by before January 6, 2025.

Those seats would be filled by Trump.

You mean buying the only actually functional ARM-based laptop built with a level of quality and support that I can expect to continue working with a bloat-free UNIX-based OS for the next decade before I switch it to Linux for probably a decade more? And it starts at $1,100?

What are those people thinking? It’s not even Copilot+ ready! /s

I don’t see any evidence that this product line is intended only for rich people. Things are generally more expensive in the early adopter stage, and Apple doesn’t make anything that they don’t want to see widely adopted.

The original iPod held 5GB and cost $400 ($700 in 2024 dollars).

The original iPhone came in a 4GB and an 8GB model that cost $500-600 ($700-800 in 2024).

The iPod is gone, replaced by the ubiquity of the iPhone that it evolved into. The cheapest iPhone today is the SE at $430 and it wildly outperforms the original hardware.

If you want an MP3 player with as close to the specs to the original iPod as you can find, you can get one for about $20, and it still outperforms the original iPod.

If the Apple Vision line is successful, I expect to see $20 generic VR headsets that blow everything we currently have out of the water by 2040.

Well, I happen to have a great deal of respect for and routinely offer my support to those who suffer from mental illnesses, so maybe find a better way to say this that doesn’t denigrate disabled people.

Look, if Americans could get this outraged over an 70 extra cents on a medical bill, we’d be a lot better off.

But in America, they’d bill us an extra $2,000 for the same, and we’d just add it to our debts and carry on without even burning down an insurance company like we should be doing.

So I can pirate as many movies as I want as long as I’m only watching them?

Let these rich guys keep talking for a sec. I can get behind this somewhat.

I’m pretty sure he could step down and hand it to Kamala. Maybe he could even run as VP. That might rock the boat the least, and while I don’t like Kamala, I have more faith in her to actually do the job.

Yes, unfortunately.

Hear me out…
