‘Another example of blatant jury nullification use of their lawful freedoms… how dare they undermine our monopoly on ‘justice’!

the analysis found, among other things, that the party didn’t invest sufficiently in innovative digital tools; that its digital ads didn’t reach young voters who no longer engage with broadcast and cable TV; and that Trump—with the help of an ecosystem of right-wing podcasters and influencers—outworked the Democrats in the information wars. Democrats must play catchup in this department, the report found.

maybe the Dems don’t want anyone to know they paid money for this dreck

i watched MHA on crunchyroll with a friend and the subs were dogshit AI. kept calling chisaki ‘cheesecake’

i was planning a hate-read cuz yaknow if the author uses “triggered” in the headline the article will be laughably bad… but then before i began, like 3 different things popped up on the site, blocking my hate read. yo guys no one is that eager to read your slop, maybe leave your popups to 1?

guess I’ll just blacklist that whole garbage-assed website.

so long technologyreview@ibbit.at! i barely knew ya (and thats for the best)

is it your stance that it is only peer pressure and propaganda that keeps other parties in the us from being viable? if not, what other barriers keep the two major parties in power?

… educated or not, an american citizen is only allowed to vote between selected bought-and-paid-for candidates representing only the interests of the ruling class.

more then likely cuz there were more then a few D politicians n definitely Democratic donors on that list.

Description: Eye squinting happens when the eyelids are compressed together serving to constrict the eyes. It can sometimes occur in just a fraction of a second before disappearing.

In One Sentence: Narrowing the eyes is due to physical or emotional pain.

How To Use it: When you do not like what is being said or seen, simply narrow your eyes. This tells others that you do not like what you are seeing or hearing. You may perform this eye language in brief within just fractions of a seconds. While people may not consciously perceive the signal, it will likely still register subconsciously. If the person for whom the cue is intended, notices, they may revisit their proposal and add additional incentives to ease your negative judgment.

Context: General.

Verbal Translation: “What I’m seeing is causing me emotional or physical pain and to prevent all that negativity from coming into my body I’m going to squint and block to resist.”

Variant: See Anger Facial Expression, Hand To Eye Gesture.

Cue In Action: a) A person will wince when reading objectionable portions of a contract. b) She winced when the student missed the correct note on the piano. It caused her visceral pain.

Meaning and/or Motivation: An eye blocking form of body language designed to prohibit distasteful images or even thoughts from being received at full view. Narrowing eyes indicates contempt, distaste and anger. A person will not only squint from seeing objectionable sights, but also negative thoughts or sounds.

Wincing falls into the category of microexpressions since it can happen in only fractions of a second before disappearing, yet it remains full of meaning.

i looked at your policy ideas and know exactly one millionaire who would fiercely reject your idea of a 35/hr min wage and rent cap. i live in a small town (smaller than Aspen, but not too far from it in setup or distance), and this particular millionaire gets “their” money through rental units and ownership of local businesses, the employees of which they’d be loathe to pay more per hour.

now i only know the one millionaire, and thru suffering their constant complaints about not having enough money (even as they are traipsing around the world more often than they are at home), know that convincing them to back this would definitely be a non-starter.

the other millionaires in this town i don’t personally know, the small, non-billionaire rich in this decimated, hollowed-out town, i still know thru their political actions.

historically and recently, they are united in their will, using their political influence to reduce the will of the people who live here full-time, increasing their own power.

they use that power to make sure no popular will affects their business interests. they happily import kids from other countries to work (J1s) rather than provide places for people to live or a wage to live on. as a result, there are almost no services left. this does not trouble them, they can drive or fly, and many vote because they own a second or third home here. yeah, they forced that thru a long time ago.

while i agree that the system is stupid and they should definitely see that, so too are these indolent millionaires a deeply ignorant, deeply disconnected lot. they might not even be dumb, as tempting as it would be to claim they are…most of em don’t even live here, they don’t care. their concerns don’t mirror ours and never will. if the town rotted to dust? they’d just move their assets elsewhere.

i just don’t see it, friend.

if I’m high and it’s bright in there im keeping my vibe thanks

ive had to learn never to use the ‘more info’ or ‘search’ options at all, as it defaults to a web search now instead of what im used to, a hdd search for my file or internal windows help documentation. fuggen ! something something you are the product smh my head

fairly innocuous comment

go get em champ

I’m not asking anything, i’m pointing out what i suspect you are up to. no shade, i think you’re doing a great job 'cept maybe a little too on the nose.

is this a bit instance? crazypeople.online? fr?

good question, but i dunno, sorry. my guess would be probably not, based on the smart tv i never connected to the web that works just fine… but I’m an avowed and avid pirate and don’t remember the last time i paid to watch something at home :D yarrrr

my quick search for “Blu Ray players” brought up a list. 4 of the first 5 i saw were also “streaming boxes” with wi-fi. the 5th had an Ethernet port. didn’t really check further but looks like it’s pretty common now.

salt. no matter what dish you’re eating, it enhances the flavor of savory and sweet alike. salt is king, salt is life

i made it about halfway thru the report before i had to stop. i can only read so many recountings of disgusting vile acts per day, especially when i know there will be no repercussions, that this is systemic.

i feel youre not really hearing me. for a change of pace, would you kindly tell me your strategy?

RATM will always get upvoted by me heh right on
