I mean, I've heard most all of the stuff about "illegals, trans, and DEI" from the Republicans in power.

He really should update his talking points. I'm sure they must have a new set by now.

Make a pit with lava in it. Enjoy the steak.

...but not at the federal level, right? Because no Dept. of Education.

I've watch both Yellowstone prequels. Moving on to the actual Yellowstone show but worried I may not like it as much since the setting is modern.

1883 in particular was very good.

He seems pretty short for a messiah

Yes, exactly this ^

While I can appreciate the ADS-B bit, it seems clear that the change to public registration would still negatively affect tracking.

This madness should be taken as antithetical to every "free market" conservative out there. And yet: crickets.

The US got complacent with outsourcing any kind of manufacturing. It drove up profits for corporations while cutting out jobs for Americans. This all happened on the back of the dream of "trickle down economics". Of course, nothing trickled down. Everything trickled up. Thank the GOP for all of that, as a start.

Now that it has made the US completely reliant on outside manufacturing, in particular from China, there's an obvious need to bring back manufacturing: but there is no real way to do it without investment and subsidization of such efforts. It is a process that, even with the proper support, would take years if not decades.

The populist part is there ("bring back our jobs!"). But the realistic part is that, ultimately, you cannot fix this by simply locking out the external supply. The economy will fail long before manufacturing could possibly return in any real way, at scale. It could be mitigated with FDR-scale programs, but any of that would be viewed and demonized as "socialism" by the Trumpers.

That's where we're at.

The FAA is changing the rule which makes this information public. The FAA is fully controlled by the rich.

100%. I used to enjoy his show until he became an obvious hypocrite and started spouting more random nonsense.

Eminent Domain literally exists for this kind of thing. Reclamation of private property for the public good.

The fact that it is held up here says more about the (recent) power of landowners and the rich more generally.

Take the land.

And yet, Joe Rogan (no relation) can spew propaganda on every podcast.

One more reason why Texas is a shithole.

Seppuku is a task

Why does Elon Musk look so derpy in every single photograph?

Nm, answered my own question.

The lack of consequences for anyone doing illegal shit is exactly why the illegal shit will continue.

Some of the generation wars are heavily interrelated with the class war: like generational wealth. There is actual overlap sometimes, even though I otherwise mostly agree with this point.

The best triggerer believe me

I said it matters: "the difference is obvious".

But for me, it does not justify the cost difference at the current time.

It does matter. But all my big displays are still LCD, because of cost.

It's about blackpoint. With an LED, pixels which are black still have a backlight. This makes them a kind of grey.

With OLED, the pixels themselves emit light. This means that black pixels are unlit.

The difference is obvious in a dimly lit room looking at dark content.

That said, while I would love OLEDs all around, they're expensive. I'm willing to give up having true blacks for the cost difference. It may be different as costs on OLED come down.

I do have an OLED phone, because Samsung is pumping out OLEDs on everything.

Wasn't blockchain the griffty buzzword years ago? We have all new grifts now
