Who's more dangerous around the sofa, president or vice president,

And more importantly where the fuck are the Epstein files you fuckers said kamala wouldn't release?

And really only as long as the populace agrees with those in charge.... Missouri and Alabama have both had elected policy overwritten recently.

I lost 5 years worth of restaurants and travel places I'd been secretly saving to do retirement trips with my wife someday (lol, retirement...)

They got moved to "archived" and then apparently they get removed from archived after 30 days unless you disable that "feature"

I went to add a restaurant one day and the entire set of tabs was gone. No idea how long it had been gone for, and browsing through my history of closed tabs on my cell phone was neigh impossible.

I'm still incredibly salty about that.

Doesn't need to track you all the time to know exactly who you are and what you're up to.

Continuously monitoring is such a waste of their resources, they already know everything about you, they just need to check in now and then to make sure you're buying the correct t-shirts.

Because 90% think they're in the top 10%, and the top 10% think they're all 1 step from being the next musk.

They're all deluded be capitalism.

Sorry if this was mentioned, but I'm curious what country you're in? Western Europe is pretty vague.

Not that you need to entertain the questions of a random string of text delivered to you on the Internet,

It's a terrible story you're telling, I'm sorry that it happened to you, if you're looking for assistance maybe the community around you could help, and we could help connect you with that community if you wanted. But again I don't blame you for keeping it private, especially after what you already went through.

Stay strong random Internet stranger, from another random Internet stranger, we can't let them grind away everything good about us.

Strange, it's not at all a tough price point for me.... Guess I'm not part of the crowd....

My deck has performed brilliantly since the day I bought it, I expect my steam machine to do the same, and if it doesn't I know exactly who will fix it (I've never had to fix my deck)

I just gave the neighborhood kid my xbox-s (with expanded memory), my switch hasn't been touched since my deck arrived. I have everything I need already purchased on steam, I'm not building a second library, or paying 50% more than when I started for a rotating library, I'll buy a few more games on steam but my catalog is insurmountably full as it is. And now I'll get to enjoy it with slightly higher graphics on a much larger screen!

I have the skill, I built all of my families PC's through the early 2010's, I'm done with that lifestyle. I don't want to diagnose and send evidence of wether it's the ram or the motherboard that needs to be replaced, argue with foreign customer service for weeks, and then wait months for a replacement piece (that now I know has a higher chance of failure) to be delivered.

I'll trade a slightly higher investment for peace of mind, as long as it's a good business (sorry apple)

And if something breaks you get a fast and easy response with the steam machine. Not at all fast nor easy if you're buying from multiple vendors.

The 300 bucks of better parts I could be getting is entirely worth my never having to diagnose or repair parts myself.

From "Keith" in the comments, "You bought a Cyber truck because you wanted attention. You're getting attention. What's your beef?"

Couldn't agree more

Okay, as a biologist it really upsets me how that phrase is written off. I did an impromptu half hour lecture for my wife about how significant "the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell" is,

The mitochondria is what ties everything on this planet together, it's the one thing that ties all life together, it is the exact same mechanism in plants as it is in animals, it takes the same ingredients and does the same function, and comes from the same origin.

There is no chain in our DNA that codes for the mitochondria, it exists outside of our DNA, it has no relationship with our DNA, it only fuels reading DNA and it's decoding and replication, but it isn't included in our genetics. It replicates itself, it exists as a separate entity, and it acts as the functioning unit for all energy within the cell.

It would be like if when a child was born their lungs were provided by an outside source and had the same genetic material as everyone else's lungs. Oh and puppy lungs, and crab lungs, and avocado lungs, and grass lungs, every single living thing on this plant has the same lung genetic material. And it has no clue that it serves this function, all it knows is ADP goes in, ATP goes out, and ATP is energy that fuels all function of all life.

And it comes from the friggin mitochondria.

Please be impressed with that little hitch hiker, it is the powerhouse that powers your neurons, grows the vegetables you eat, and makes life happen on earth.

How will we know something extraterrestrial comes our way? They'll have their own mitochondria, because something needs to power their cells, and it won't be the same as ours.

Writing off the mitochondria from biology is like writing off the exchange of goods in economics, or doing physics without the concept of mass, or art without feeling. There is nothing more basic, more fundamentally important to biology than the existence of the mitochondria, and it's role as the powerhouse of the cell.

MITOCHONDRIA IS THE POWERHOUSE OF THE CELL. That you know that makes me happy.

And in other things you've read about on the Internet, I have a 14 inch penis.

Such a free speech absolutist. Wanting the government to compel companies to pay to speak on the private platform that he owns. Some real Trickle down free speech

We're entirely fucked, and this seems to be the only thread about it, it's not gotten much activity. Either people are writing their paragraphs (thanks for not using AI to make your opinions for you), or we're all feeling about as motivated as I am right now (or less so?) or people just aren't going to engage....

I've never felt worse for my country than I do today, and I thought it couldn't get worse than yesterday, at least tomorrow is looking up right?

corruption of evidence controlled by the party alleged to have done the crime should always be taken as an admission of guilt. Don't want to be assumed guilty? Get better data systems, especially if it seems to only happen at key moments.

This picture should have been so much more than what was needed to eject his ass from the white house. Obama used the wrong mustard and the right flips the table. Carter couldn't have a peanut farm. This guy and his family were shilling for a Mexican bean company from the fucking oval office.

A fucking bean company

The American social safety net fails again. At least this time it was mostly contained.
