Awesome post!

I just did this, filed a claim and quickly got an email that they're sending $31. Plus I'm filing several for my deceased father. I also had several family members who have unclaimed property.

On that pages there's an RSS feed link, I think that will work in any other podcast app

That one with Trump kissing the flag is really funny to me

Do you really think they would follow those orders? I don't, and I don't think Trump thinks that, or he already would have made that order.

I think Trump hoped January 6th to be that sort of event, but it failed miserably. It failed because the only people willing to do anything about it were the chuds that showed up to his rally. They lacked any kind of shared political theory or goals. Some were there to have fun, some were there because they believed in Qanon, some wanted a christofacist dictatorship, and some thought they could fix the "voting irregularities" and go back to being a representative democracy. All those same impediments exist today for any kind of dismantling driven by citizens.

It could still happen if Trump suddenly got institutional backing for such a thing, like from the military, courts and big business, but it seems super unlikely. The bourgeoisie gets everything they need from both parties, why send America into economic chaos to keep one dipshit in charge?

American elections are won and lost on turnout, and the vibes-based voters are the most likely to stay at home. All those people who said the main reason they didn't approve of Biden because of his age will vote for Kamala as long as she doesn't fuck it up. Plus there are a lot of libs that are currently convincing themselves Kamala will be better policy wise, anything she says will make things worse.

My opinion is that to win, all Kamala has to do is not be Biden. Go hide and say nothing. She's not going to do anything in a debate with Trump that's going to win votes, but she could do something to fuck it up.

Is the 80/20 thing really false? I don't know anything personally, but anecdotally it seems true from talking to men who use the apps to date. Some guys get as many dates as they want, and others basically get none.

I don't think it's about being 6ft or having chadface or whatever, it's about mastering the stupid gameification of romance(and paying for premium subscriptions).

I'm happy to be wrong about this, though.

I'm very far from an kind of authority on how to handle school discipline, but calling police to school seems like a very bad idea. Cops and prisons don't solve problems.

Not surprising from the guy that wants to have an Olympics with unlimited drug use. He wants someone else to be the test subjects for the research chemicals he's been experimenting on himself with.

I love how these tech dipshits believe so hard in meritocracy. They really think being rich means they're smarter than everyone else, including actual scientists. He really thinks he'll find the cure for death by trying random drugs and using blood boys. Instead he's tweaking and choking back vomit.

That's a funny thing about this, they were treating Alexa as if it was profitable by using a stupid metric of profitability. They were using a system that attributed to the Alexa team any increase in purchases after buying Alexa, even if they weren't purchased using Alexa.

This was a self fulfilling prophesy because they gave deeply discounted Alexas to prime subscribers, who they know purchase more from Amazon. Surely lots of people got prime just to get the discount, then the Alexa team got credit for the increase in sales that comes when people have prime.

Microsoft is a good target because they've been in the news for their culpability in the Solarwinds hacks. They managed to get off the hook at the time, placing the blame on their users, when they were absolutely at fault for it. The media bought Microsoft's bullshit deflections to the point that they still call it Solarwinds when referencing the hacks, even though it's clear now that MS should get much more of the blame. They had plenty of warning that their MFA system had a fundamental flaw and made a deliberate business decision to ignore it because they wanted to win a big government contract.

My guess is the media doesn't want to be fooled again, but I could be wrong about that.
