Ah, then the “free” healthcare is the healthcare they get because their parents pay for it. Covering kids is far from free. But it taps in to any rage parents may feel having to cover their kids even if they always argue with their kids. A lie that his base is happy to hear.

The thing this article touches on, and what I’ve found people really need to understand, is what privilege is and what it represents. It took me to a similar age as the author (early 20s) to recognize it. I find most people don’t even in much later years. They feel attacked for having it, and don’t think they do, so they resent those they feel are attacking and right wing groups feed that resentment.

I know I’m preaching to the choir given this community and server, but anyone else that comes across this statement, please understand you can still be privileged in some ways, even if you’re very much not in others. You can grow up in poverty, in a broken home, or no home, picked on and bullied, and still benefit from an interviewers racism or misogyny. You may even think “fuck that, I was the best qualified” or even “I was the only one that applied” but it’s always possible the company in question already had a reputation amongst disenfranchised groups to encourage exactly that situation. Without trying, you could benefit from a system that holds people back. That’s privilege. It’s not always getting a head start, sometimes it’s just not being set back as far as others.

There’s a little explanation in that it costs to get in to the race. So naturally people wouldn’t want to waste the attempt, except there’s always someone that will pay the fee and try just about anything.

I dunno about making Ti Li the dumb one. She maintained optimism despite the threat to everyone she had built community with. She shows a ton of mental fortitude.

Same initial thought, but then I considered that I trust a Cold War era jeep that’s been stored for decades to still work with a bit of quick off-the-shelf maintenance items than I would any Hummer era military vehicles to work after even a short span in storage.

Also, paid by whom? The parties with the most ability to pay for influence are not pushing left leaning ideals.

Either he doesn’t know what he’s doing, or he does and this is the desired results. Both options are terrifying for the future.

Just don’t look?

Annoying that they clog the search results I guess, but they are a great way for creators to drive engagement with their long form content. Sports has guided me to some really interesting content I wouldn’t have found otherwise.

That’s the other guys point. We haven’t used it since the 70s, but the system is still in place to be used. Easy to fire it up again.

Not all Live Photos can be used for Lock Screen. You get an error saying this photo can’t be animated or some shit. Many different hardware versions and latest software.

Ford is kinda doing it. The Mustang MachE and the f150 lightning both have physical keys, but the MachE and higher trim lightnings are very touch screen dependent. They have all the driving stalks and such, but to even turn the ac settings requires touch screen and worse menus. The lightning lower trims (XLT and pro) have a smaller screen and a lot more physical controls. There are still a couple things that are buried in the touch screen, but most anything you need while driving has a physical button. Pull a fuse to disable modems and it can’t even phone home to Ford anymore.

If you can find a 23 XLT you might even be able to get the extended range battery. 24 and later all ER batteries were tied to trim packages that included the big screen and fewer buttons.

If you can fleet order, you can get Pro trims with ERs, but they’re really hard to find in the wild.
