I voted for Trump!
Even after losing his business to Trump’s policies, he stands by his vote: “Given the two people running, regardless of what they said on the campaign trail, I would’ve voted for President Trump again.”
His brother Stephen agrees: “I don’t think I had a choice to vote any other direction.”>
This got me. I would put money on that he would vote for Trump again.

Why are you like this?
This is why I no longer dual boot and removed windows all together.

The White House updated its website to describe the January 6th attack
If we don't remove him sooner than later, we're going to have a really big problem. It's going go be too late to say I told you so and laugh about it. This is serious and everyone is just joking about how bad it is.

When both say “I love privacy”
In guessing the left is Proton but those icons are about as bad as googles.

Would you drive an extra 20 minutes (10 miles) to get the blizzard on the right?
If you're at the lesser DQ, you could pay a couple extra bucks and upgrade it to the next size up. You would save from having to buy a gallon of gas if you're not electric and 20 minutes.

Why is everyone still on Reddit when they could be on the Fediverse?
This may be something you don't want to hear so please bear with me. I've been here since the reddit drama started.
There isn't much engagement here. If you compare a post here to a post on reddit, there will be zero comments here and 100 to 1000+ on reddit.
Another issue is each instance has its own version of the same community. This isn't a bad thing but it separates the comments and increases the reposts. If I'm scrolling all, sometimes I see 5+ of the same post with zero comments on each.
Another problem, it's not inherently easy to sign up. There are hundreds if not thousands of instances. If the instance you pick shuts down or goes down for a bit, well... you're SOL. I've lost two accounts on two instances that shut down.
Another problem, since it's not mainstream, there's not much content in niche communities. A lot of the niche communities that start up post a lot of bot content which no one engages with and then the community dies.
I still advocate moving over but there is a lot of work to be done to get the masses moved over.

I guess I'm doing my part
I ate at McDonald's for the first time in a few years. The same meal I used to get on the go now costs over 100% more since before 2020. The only reason I went to McDonald's was because it was cheap, not because it was good. I don't think I'll ever go again.

Path of Exile 2 is sticking to its 'ethical free-to-play' model instead of chasing Diablo 4's success
Diablo 4 was a success?

So are they going to do anything about it or continue to silently support him?

Matt Damon Says Netflix Wants Movies to Restate the ‘Plot Three or Four Times in the Dialogue’ Because Viewers are on ‘Their Phones While They’re Watching’
This is what kills any articles on the web. The first three paragraphs repeat the question you're looking to get answered and the last paragraph vaguely answers it.
I feel like an old person now but I've started watching movies from the 90s/2000s and I can't believe how much worse movies have become over the years.

Trump administration goes after Second Amendment rights in justifying Minneapolis shooting
This is one of the main reasons people don't vote blue. They care a lot about their firearms. If the red start going after them, grab some popcorn because things will go down. Maybe this is whats needed to get them to open their eyes.

This. Holy shit is it frustrating to click a pixel wide scroll bar that is on the edge between two monitors. It's even worse when they disappear.

Employee appreciation

I make my company 100-200k a month. I make around 4k a month. No performance bonus, nothing.
Meanwhile the higher ups that do bare minimum are raking it all in. I love our society.

no really how do we fix this?

I swapped to ddg about a year ago. I've noticed their search results are not the greatest either. There is so much spam and paid articles that make it to the top search results I often end up frustrated trying to find what I'm looking for.
The Internet really is enshittified.

Blame Republicans for our health insurance mess | Conservatives haven’t taken health policy seriously for decades.
Last I heard the democrats caved. I blame both parties. We need to clean both houses.

It's official: 64GB of DDR5-6000 RAM now costs way more than a PlayStation 5 console
We're going to go back to covid times when it was cheaper up buy a computer with the graphics card in it than to buy the graphics card out right, but now with ram.
I'm getting so burnt out with the blatant corruption and data centers sucking up all the hardware. You know at the end of the day, all these companies are boasting record profits.

Bonkers CDC vaccine meeting ends with vote to keep COVID shot access
I love how we just stopped caring about covid. Don't report on it, don't test for it, and completely ignore anyone who has it. It'll go away on it's own... or get worse.

Iran issues chilling threat to US if Trump takes action against Supreme Leader
Can we just give him Trump and call it even? He needs to go one way or another.
