Agreed, they’re not supposed to be laws, they’re supposed (as far as I understand it anyways) to essentially be “as the head of the Executive branch, here is how I want my underlings to handle/interpret this particular thing that the Executive branch already has authority over” … it really doesn’t make sense that they’d last any longer than that particular Presidents term(s).

And even if they did, well, what they ACTUALLY meant was that he should do that since the usage of the word “shouldn’t” was different back then.

I use Weechat with Glowing Bear as a webui frontend for it, which is pretty convenient.

They’ve got a novella in the same universe too!

He is a federal employee, no?

I think he just assumes other people are as irresponsible with the nations purse as he is.

Funny how that is only a thing when they’re running a “practically a Republican” ‘Democrat’ and not when someone who’s actually a leftist starts getting some approval.

Agreed & my problem with “least bad candidate” or “blue no matter who” is that someone like Trump is the inevitable outcome when that’s the only thing they’re running on. Many of us have been voting “the lessor of two evils” for our entire adult lives and all its done is continue allow the right to get even more batshit insane and then the Dems follow right behind, just being less crazy and happily taking advantage of minorities for votes (but, look at how they actually treat Trans people when it matters, all of a sudden it “doesn’t poll well” to continue treating them as people).

They just expect to get votes because “we’re less shitty than the other candidate!” as if that’s the only thing that matters as they continue to give in to Republican whims at the slightest sign that actual work will need to be done to oppose them (can’t be too obstinate, ya know, you might offend the fascist voters you’re trying to court!)

They had weeks of forewarning for Rowe vs Wade being overturned due to the leak and had NO PLAN at all to oppose them when the news dropped other than “give us some money so we can continue to do absolutely fucking nothing to fix this”, no unified message, nothing’. Say what you will about Republicans, but the second women and black people started being treated like people under the law, they started thinking to the future and were determined to make sure they could roll that back no matter how long it took.

ETA: I’m not saying don’t vote or both sides are exactly the same. They’re not at all the same. One is clearly better than the other, but the one that’s ‘better’ won’t actually fight to keep you having rights and will only fight back just the minimum amount to keep donations rolling in from individuals while actively trying to court the rich and corporations for their donations instead and I really hate the lack of good options we have.

To make it worse, it’ll quickly get figured out and people will be calling in “oh my God! he’s trying to kill me”, get transferred to a person and be like “so, it’s 3pm in a Saturday and my neighbors are playing their music too loud!”

I called Comcast and it was horrible

human, operator, GET HUMAN, person, technician, for fucks sake! Bomb? Give me a fucking human!

Nope, nothin, mashing 0 on the keypad also did nothing.

COVID was easy mode and we (Americans at the very least) failed. If we can’t handle something that’s highly infectious with a pretty low death rate we’re definitely not going to handle highly infectious + high mortality rate without a lot of people dying first and even then, it’ll still be “left wing propaganda”, I’m sure

Lisa needs measles!

Realistically, the banks will start offering longer loans, would be my expectation.

If you thought 6 year loans were already too long, wait til you start seeing 8-10 year long ones for new vehicles!

An Amendment takes 2/3 of Congress to approve though, not just a majority.

I can imagine plenty of Dems in Congress would say “fuck it, let’s try Obama again” though and roll the dice on approving it :-/

Yeah, my problem with it is that it’s always something. I’ve been giving it a go about once a year since they forked from Emby and everytime something has made me drop it.

If I’m having problems with it the handful of times I go to watch something using it, the people I share with DEFINITELY would and now I have to handle their auth crap myself as well.

I’ll probably prioritize just keeping a server going side by side now for a lot longer than a month or two at a time and try to find solutions to my problems. it’s never really been a priority before since Plex worked, but the writing has been on the wall for a while now that the enshittification is in full swing and now I need to make sure I’m ahead of it.

Blah, this sucks.

It’ll still be the fault of Democrats and the Trans/DEI agenda for burning all the money.

If their supporters were capable of logical thought they wouldn’t be their supporters (not saying they’d be Dems, but they definitely wouldn’t be supporting these fucks).

A child dying is going to make them double down, honestly. At this point they will REALLY refuse to acknowledge that the kids death was 100% their fault since taking accountability is not something these people are willing to do
