She got herself in a public shit show that was way beyond her. I guarantee you, had that not happened, she would have just stayed silent.

I mean, she is just a run of the mill, racist, shit bag. Vance is a racist shit bag with power.

He probably does, he probably also know that, for most people he is messaging towards, fascist, communist, and socialist, all mean the same thing, I don’t like you.

Oh, flying ferry is a nick name for hydrofoil, not an actual aircraft.

Are you being disingenuous here? Are you intentionally ignoring the media driven campaigns about things like DEI initiatives, the decades of lies about how affirmative action work, etc.? You know, the ones that have gone from being popular, to being one of the most common talking points for the right wing, in the past decade? The one that started calling out specific government offices first, then universities, then tech companies, moved onto big box stores with target, etc.? The one that has caused people to go into stores and start trashing the place? The one that has inspired a torrent of threats against these entities, and their employees? The one that has caused multiple mass shooters to ad things like DEI to their list grievances that convinced them to be a terrorist? The one that has been made to open the door for it to be a point of legislation? The one that is going on as we speak?

Right up until there is a media campaign selling outrage about how straight white people are getting unfairly ignored for unqualified black people, and foreigners.

However, if excluding a minority, creates better financial relationships with the majority consumer base, it is in their interest to drop the minority. Capitalism only cares about what seems to maximize profit, and protect it, and if that is benefited by some form of exclusion, that is what will be done.

YT likely recognized the IP as belonging to a commercial entity and threw up the block, due to bot concerns, over that .

Yes, the ones out there, so far, are reportedly a hit amongst mail carriers

The controller is just an off the shelf cost saver they use to control the drone with the bomb!

Hasn’t been happening to me. Then again, the music I listen to probably isn’t a big target for AI, yet.

Yeah, grandmother grew up in a family that had been poor farmers outwest, and midwest for a long time. They had like 10 guns, but that is because there was one rifle per person over the age of 12, plus a couple shotguns. Not for like having a shoot-out, but for killing problematic predators. Only my great grandfather had a hand gun, and he only had that because it was a gift from someone he did a bunch of work for. He rarely took it out of the box.

This is all inclusive. Go out and gitchu some billionaire long pork

Soak him in fresh water over night, then in a brine for a while, blanch, then slow cook, making sure the whole thing hits at least 160-165.

I mean, I am sure there are plenty of white people who would. I know I am up for eating a billionaire.

oh, that would be something that would make me use PPV, or, at least temporarily, get a streaming service.

yeah, like any hierarchy, is is all hypocritical, and based on BS. Ultimately it comes down to “I am right, and anyone not like me, or that disagrees with me, isn’t”

Yeah, and a lot of the guys in there, that get all bent out of shape about things like hurting women, and children, have long DV records. It is more a way of creating a caste system than most of these people actually giving a shit.

It would be fine to have released a phone that is spec’ed for a basic user case. My problem is the expert user level price point for it. Disregarding all other gripes about Apple, that is.

The US is an imperialist hypocrite of a country. Like that is just a damn fact. As you point out though, the issues leftists, not in these spaces, have with places like hexbear, and ml, is the fact that they back authoritarian regimes like China. China who is in the process of the US playbook of economic imperialism with their BRI. They are committing a genocide, they are exploiting much poorer countries, to hold them in economic dependency, and they are discussing annexing land they do not own any longer, and haven’t for a long time now. No I am not talking about Taiwan.

They are making so many similar moves to the US post WWII, and have an economy that is dependent on allowing capitalism, to the point that they have a billionaire class second only to the US. While the US is growing its police/surveillance state, China is leagues ahead on that one. The big thing China doesn’t have, is something similar to the massive global infrastructure the US developed to be able to deploy, and supply, its military in a time frame measured in hours. China is trying to develop something along these lines, but it has the US/NATO super structure all ready in place, it will have to, at least partially, displace. This will not be easy.
