I switched to chrome because they were the first to have each tab be it's own process so one bad site/connection did crash the whole program. Also the cloud based password saving across devices was super convenient.

Firefox does both now too, has better ad blocking, and is a little less invasive and bloaty. A lot less invasive if you know how to set it up, which I don't.

But yeah, Firefox is my guy again

I am starting to believe that the OP type of people aren't actually Biden supporters or democrats but paid for Republicans/operatives who have market researched the most effective way to reduce voter turnout. Kind of like how cigarette companies were forced to make anti smoking ads and went with the least effective or most counter-effective campaigns they could go with.

I know it's a meme to talk about my boy rock Lee, but literally one of the most hype fight scene powerups of all time, and one of the most compelling characters of no natural talent/bloodline just effort and heart, and they sidelined him hard!

Rock Lee for hokage 2024!

Carlin got better as he got older. His shtick was always tight fast well rehearsed dense sets but he went from mostly irreverent to actually saying something. And he was still able to be so funny while clearly getting so angry.

a little salami, as a treat

I suspect it has something to do with the collapse of the new deal coalition and the rise of neoliberal economics such as trade deals meant to gut unions, finance and media consolidation, and ending the welfare state...

But I'm just a blue collar boy... what do I know?

I'm on keto so I use the occasional stevia or monk-fruit sweetener when I'm craving something sweet, and the fact that she was fired for not approving those recipes make the sweeteners feel much more suss. And they were already kind of suss to begin with, so like... what are they not telling us ?

I give you kudos for going American Heritage. It's the best American English Dictionary. Way better than Webster.

as a Texan let me just say, welcome to the fucking show Colorado.

Clearly it's that it forgot about Dre.

lol

What's crazy is it would likely cost less in taxes to do!

I think the Trump presidency really warped them and their supporters to be more identarian stalwarts as opposed to the ideologically pillar able to defend the worst people for the right reasons.

Trump is a maniac who recently said he Israel should "finish the problem" which is even more genocidal than Joe Biden on Israel but you don't have to take him out of context to hate on him. He was clearly talking about the American auto industry being wiped out by Chinese automakers building factories in Mexico and selling cars here without tariffs.

For some reason I thought he was Bi

I've been saying this all along. Vote blue no matter who just guarantees your interests won't be addressed. We owe our votes to no one, make them earn our votes with policy.

For working class people home ownership was really the primary way to stabilize and build wealth. Which is important since we don't have a social safety net, most of our retirement has been privatized, healthcare and education are dramatically more expensive etc. etc. and since working class folk can't build up generational wealth we are moving into technosurfdom. I don't know if it's unique but it sure do suck over here for a lot of people.

I'm relatively lucky but shit be hard here.

Similarly, I changed my fiance's ringtone to this song. I'm pretty proud of myself :)

I'm crying laughing at this one.

I don't really know much about the sweat baby controversy, but whenever I see "bless your heart" it just comes of as weak tea as it avoids engaging with premises or arguments and condescends and I think it generally loses the argument from a third party perspective. At least I've never read it and thought, wow they really got them.

It might be trite but I always preferred agree to disagree as a disengage tactic. That's just my two cents on internet discourse though.
