my guy looks a little like mona lisa with similar ambiguity of expression. no matter where you stand in the room, he thinks you're palestinian.

in case you are not aware, the online version is hosted in china and has to comply with their laws.. if you don't like censorship you can locally install one of the distilled models which are: open source

because they're paid to be.

he'll change his mind if a girl he likes tells him he stinks.. is it the 'because' he offers that upsets you or the smell he gives off?

open source behaving like open source? couldn't be the evil scary chinese!

just saw that clip today.. this guy is exactly what you expect of the dnc- they're signalling they haven't learned a thing. hope democrats are looking forward to jd vance and co.

"paper launch" refers to a shortage of cards available on release-- many who waited in line left with purchase vouchers instead of hardware.

article doesn't mention who calls it that or who coined the term.

the problem with rhetoric like this- it forgets that they (tyrants/dictators) continue to find power.. you set yourself up for even greater despondancy when you start to believe: IT SHOULD BE SO EASY, but it just isn't.

mind you, 3.5 percent of a population is no small feat-- but another message you can falsely intuit in the vapors of this claim: oh well, no big deal then, we can afford to wait until things start to REALLY get bad...

real political change is a long hard road and this sentiment gives people an out- its not a stretch to imagin someone reading this and coming to the conclusion that they can afford to sit on the sideline and let the magic 3.5 percent come and save them...

cop cities, surveillance, censorship, etc-- yep, it takes all kinds.

more about locking out competition.. when people talk about 'free market capitalism' this is what they mean.

let's also not kid ourselves, the us has a hardon about programming/indoctrination and control of information dating muuch further back. but speaking of the dead internet/taken internet, the net neutrality sell-out was a savage betrayal by our elected representatives...

if you can imagine a fish enjoying a succulent chinese meal rn, rolling its eyes

this distinction though, forgets that our government is the force behind privatization.

your takeaway is a lot different from mine: here i'm thinking, how useless must this this katie whittington be.. LOL 9+k votes (total) between them. 14 percent of the district voted in this special election. tell us again how its IMPOSSIBLE kamala lost her swing states in the general presidential election.

follow the money i guess? :p

what do decades of progress in the autism community look like- genuine question.

"unexpected" is a curious qualifier here. i hope they don't call it unexpected next year when its even warmer.

i chuckled-- but eggs are pretty expensive everywhere at the moment.

we do hear about 'industry plants', however..

'nearby' ... speaking of relativity.
