I too was experiencing this. It was laughably bad. I then disabled 5G and all my issues disappeared. 4G is plenty fast enough and in my area has far better coverage. I truly don't see the point of 5G and the toll it takes on my battery.

I would actually argue the opposite. Modern movie plots are an ADD fever dream. There are so many things going on that keeping track is an absolute chore.

They also purposely build their devices in such a way that they often can't be economically repaired, necessitating a repurchase. Check out Louis Rossman on YouTube, he owns a repair shop and rants about it all the time.

It isn't CIA propaganda. They quite literally welded people into their houses during COVID, there's video of them doing it. They then absolutely decimated Hong Kong, making countless protestors disappear. There's obviously the whole situation where they use mass slave labor of the Uyghur Muslims. There's the constant lies the CCP spews that are demonstrably false (we're talking North Korea levels of laughable propaganda). There's their blatant theft of intellectual property with government support along with the global corporate espionage. There's the horrible working conditions, with companies needing suicide nets around the buildings to prevent workers from jumping. There's the laughable safety issues with various engineering projects that when they fail are swept under the rug. The list goes on and on. China has an interesting and impressive history, but China under the CCP is absolute dog shit.

You absolutely should have that right. What is the issue?

I like to play a game where I stop pressing the gas and coast to see how slow I can get before they go around me. My record is 25mph on a 65mph freeway where the cars around us were going closer to 75 or 80. I was honestly shocked.

The difference being the IDF has consistently gone to pretty significant lengths to warn civilians and give them time to evacuate. Hamas has not and in fact specifically targets civilians. These groups are not the same.

My understanding is that the US has one of the most liberal immigration policies in the world. Is that not the case?

Excellent point.

I mean his DNA was found on the gun, there's a slew of text messages, handwritten notes, and video evidence showing that it was him, but I suppose a Republican could have broken into his house, stolen his DNA, planted incriminating messages, and borrowed his clothing. At this point we really just don't know, anything is possible.

What should you punish murder with? Genuinely asking. I see many who want to do away with prisons and switch to rehabilitation. In some cases I can certainly understand that, and I am against for profit prisons, but I also know that a certain portion of society is just fundementally born with dysfunctional brains and no amount of rehabilitation will ever correct that. What do you do with the person who is sadistic and sociopathic in their disdain for other human life?

I feel like we have a pretty definitive understanding of his motivations. This is directly from Tyler when discussing why he did it, “I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out.” Where is the ambiguity in this?

You're absolutely right, guns don't protect people at all...oh wait, they do. You mean the left has been lying to me this entire time?

Why stop there? We should provide free housing for everyone. I would gladly stop working so hard and accept a free house.

Has this been confirmed or is this speculation?

How does the cost break down in terms of private insurance versus single payer+private insurance? Basically what I'm wondering is if I currently have private insurance and it covers me for most things, what would be the difference if we switched to single payer (which covers far fewer things) and then I was also required to supplement with private (to fill in the gaps for what used to be covered but now isn't under single payer). I suspect single payer is great for people who don't currently have private insurance, but far worse for people who do.

The world IS bigger than Seattle, I agree. That being said, Seattle is a key US city, and as such what happens there has cultural and political ramifications for our country as a whole. The fact that you are either dismissing and/or not aware of what happened there is a little troubling and makes me question your qualifications to hold an opinion on the matter.

As for the obviously hyperbolic claim that "whole cities were burned down", that's absurd. As someone who lives very near Los Angeles, I can tell you that there absolutely was widespread looting, vandalism, protests/riots, and violence. This was not localized and spread both into Orange County as well as the Inland Empire. I know this because 1. I saw it with my own eyes, and 2. I had multiple clients reach out to me and reschedule because they needed to shutter their businesses and board up their store fronts with plywood to prevent them from being smashed and looted.

Since we're sharing articles, how about this one that talks about two individuals who burned down a Wendy's. Both individuals pleaded guilty of 1st degree arson and as a result got a slap on the wrist ($500 fine and 150 hours of community service). Explain to me how that's even remotely a reasonable punishment for burning down a building...

You clearly missed the point, but what can I expect...?

I have no issue whatsoever with you bashing my side. What I DO have an issue with is you bashing my side and then staying uncharacteristically quiet as your side does the same thing. Selective outrage is hypocritical and disingenuous. Even your response here illustrates to me that you aren't willing to suck up your pride and be honest. Rather than focus on the specifics of what I've said you ignore it and attack me personally.

I would never consider Trump my guy. That being said I think he was treated unfairly by the media and those like yourself. Y'all spent 4 years claiming he was a Russian Manchurian candidate, that he would clearly start world war 3, that he would imprison his political opponents, and on and on. The sick part is Biden has come much closer to many of those accusations than Trump did and you STILL carry water for him. You should be ashamed.

So now you're mental health shaming? I thought progressives were supposed to be compassionate and nonjudgmental. You're really letting the ideology down.

Yeah, the problem is those "other people" didn't face any actual consequences because their cause was an emotional response to racial injustice or some such nonsense. Crime is crime and should be punished as such. I don't give a shit if you think it was justified.

I'd like to also add this story in which rioters set fire to multiple buildings in close proximity to the White House and faced zero consequences because it was a "peaceful protest" rather than an "insurrection".
