Obama

We are 100% on the same page 🥂

The problem here is that you’re under the assumption that this isn’t all just intentional. Sure you could ask them if they don’t want this why did they do that–but the whole act was just to pacify you while they’re already onto the next thing. Everything they do is for their personal enrichment no matter the excuse. Also they won’t have to answer any of these types of questions because they have Newmax and their ilk in the press room nowadays and they are far from giving a shit about anything remotely close to that.

So it’s a loaded gun that can only be used by Republicans, and whenever Democrats are in a position to do something about it, they don’t.

This has basically been my experience as a Democrat-voter for years. “Our guys finally made it in, now we’ll finally see those changes they’ve been talking about” followed by crickets for 4 years 😬

A man of culture, i see!

brother must go

Well said, and i love your user name. Happy Friday 🥂

They didn’t just pull up the ladder behind them, they have a ladder propulsion system that will launch it into space

Some of my all-time favorite music. They are a massive influence in my taste in music…It had never occurred to me that nostalgia could be induced by ‘foreign’ (unfamiliar may be the better word) music, and for a place/time that may never have even existed or may be misremembered or jumbled with other memories. It’s strange what music can do, how it can make you feel, think, see… They also showed me how ominous electronic music can sound, how much of a landscape can be painted with sound. I love all their albums, and getting to experience the release of Tomorrow’s Harvest was a treat.

This is the second time I’ve seen BoC pop up in the past 2 days day (edit, lol). I swear, the one good thing that’s come about in the past couple years has been this place. Thank you all for being here and participating!

BoC!!! 🩵🥂

What would you say they want, then?

Sarah Huckabee Sanders when she was press secretary, and now she’s [checks notes]… Governor of Arkansas.

That’s not all! She recently had to beg Trump for federal aid following a series of devastating tornadoes tearing up Arkansas. He denied her the aid. https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/sarah-sanders-arkansas-storms-b2738058.html

Any particular ones to be aware of?

And the leaks keep coming, he(gset)h.

As pointed out elsewhere around these comments, this looks like another classic example of enshittification. Just like everything that’s invented, it often starts out with a fairly solid design–it couldn’t succeed without that. Once the success is captured, they can start dissecting the design and figure out what parts can be made with cheaper materials (common example: replacing metal w/plastic) and/or cheaper tech. From that point it’s iterations of further cuts to material and tech until it’s the cheapest, flimsiest version that can still function well enough to outlast the warranty. I’ve been in my field long enough (appliance repair) to see generations come and go and it often runs that route. Sometimes design flaws get fixed during the process, but rarely does the product itself get better or more durable in the long run.

I really hope trump pulled one of those surprise handshake-tugs he was doing back in the day, lol

It’s just that there’s something about the seriousness of a situation that inevitably draws me to try thinking of the funniest and/or most inappropriate things to say ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i might not be half as funny without that added risk, lol
