Yeah the only thing exclusive to prime that is worth more than $5 (one time) is the 80s period show Red Oaks, and it went off air years ago.

Yeah it doesn't take a genius to see that all the people (ehem I mean gangster warlords) the US (aka DoD) empowered are all sitting in gilded palaces in Dubai. The only individuals and organizations that benefited from the US' occupation of Afghanistan were: the few who got visas to the west (and even they might actually have been better off if the US and NATO never came and disrupted their lives), the gangster warlords, and the Military-Industrial complex. Literally over $1 trillion went to the warlords and like 10 US defense contractors.
Yeah Amazon has opened the door to the lowest quality hardware out of China to put most name brands out of business for lower priced goods.
Oh I see, that’s helpful and makes sense. I’m one of those newbs who took 15 hours to set up my own Jellyfin. Self hosting Home automation is a ways off in the distance for me haha.
I thought this comment was trolling then I realized that zigbee and zwave are real brand names. You can’t make this shit up.
Hate to say this but military unit cultures can shift incredibly quickly. All it takes is for a few pirate Eddie Gallagher types to get put in charge and the tide shifts instantaneously.
Let’s say pirate Trump neofascist loyalists get selected to lead 15-20% of units. There will be a tidal shift in the willingness to disobey or ignore illegal orders or simply turn a blind eye to illegal and immoral conduct. It’s quite depressing and terrifying how quickly loyalty to moral behavior falls apart especially with military populations that already attract many of the most susceptible to extremist ideologies.
Coastal BC west of the cascades is very similar to Puget Sound region and Portland. Anywhere east of Whistler and Chilliwack is much more rural religious and conservative, similar to central and eastern Washington. Another cultural oddity about inland BC - Kelowna and Kamloops have some of the most violent and active Hells Angels chapters.
Not a huge surprise considering the series post-Penske purchase is still running on the fumes of the last owner’s initiatives and ideas (thanks MP for the expansive breakdown on that during last week’s podcast). For some reason, anything more innovative than component and subsystem level technical advancement isn’t a priority.
OP I noticed and sent a message to a friend about this the other day. Weather on the iOS Weather app said it would be sunny but it was 100% overcast all day. I thought something is or was off with the app too.
Man this is the take I browse Lemmy for…right here!!
And absolutely NOTHING will be done about it. Our system is broken and built to favor the criminal wealthy class and keep everyone else in perpetual submission.
