It’s not even close to half. Republicans are a quarter to a third of the country.

It’s voter suppression and Democrats being the biggest possible fuckups they could be at every fucking opportunity.

Tell that to Volkswagen, BMW, Messerschmitt, Audi, Deutsche Bank… And all these guys: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_involved_in_the_Holocaust

Harris chose to do something immoral because “it was the law”, or it benefited her, or whatever - and you can expect her to continue doing that.

You still have to vote for her, but you also have to be realistic about who you’re actually voting for.

Republicans are the party who holds their candidates up without criticism - and Dems put up Kamala now exactly because Democrats were criticizing Biden - and even though she’s one of the worst candidates they’ve put up in years, she’s still far more electable than Biden.

So yes. You need to both vote for and criticize Harris. It’s the least immoral choice.

I’d say it also needs to be entirely optional and be opt-in only. Any service, program, whatever needs to work fully for anyone who doesn’t allow their data to be sold or released with extremely few exceptions.

Better solution.

Data are owned by the generator. Only they can sell it etc…

This also solves the privacy problem of law enforcement agencies applying warrants to phone companies etc. for access to your data, which has been an end-run around 4th Amendment rights for decades.

Relevant part at 5:15 but it’s all on point. There’s a better version somewhere but this was the top hit…

Now?

No idea why you’ve got any downvotes.

This is very true. You have to search for actual maple syrup in the US.

EDIT: Yeah. I know how to find actual maple syrup, folks. There was a time long ago when products actually looked like what you were buying and weren’t all imitation crap. There was no such thing as corn-syrup labeled “breakfast syrup” or “maple-flavored syrup” or “Real syrup” in giant bold text and “with maple flavor” in tiny font somewhere distant.

Stop defending deceptive product labeling.

“Subcom” sounds like a bad movie genre or a very niche porn fetish.

I’m pretty sure Temu is Chinese.

Whichever editor let them post “100 thousand” should be spanked one 100 times with the severed hand of whatever asshole wrote it in the first place.

You don’t need the comma when you write it this way. The comma in June 12, 2024, is there exactly because it’s the wrong order.

It’s basically “I wrote the date. Oops, forgot the year!”

Computers order it correctly in that format because that’s the correct format. In the same way a computer will order any other correctly formatted numbers in the correct order - and incorrectly formatted numbers in the incorrect order - it shouldn’t be surprising that they order correctly formatted dates in the correct order.
