Remember when American tax payers gave billions to telecoms to install fiber in rural America?

It’s actually happened multiple times…

I remember two off the top of my head, but it’s possible there was a couple more

Trump is going to fuck around and make this an inflection point with his voter base.

I knew he wouldn’t be able to stay out of it. And it’s only going to get worse during the trial when mainstream media keeps trying to demonfy this guy while the vast amount of Americans view him as Robin Hood.

This is going to be a bigger trial than OJ or Casey Anthony, and this is going to be one of the rare cases where the people side with the defendant. Other big cases most people wanted the defandent guilty but they got off.

But Luigi is either going to get off and likely get into politics, or lose and become a literal martyr.

There’s no path for the wealthy to win, especially since everyday thousands of Americans cross the line to “nothing left to lose”.

A correct but unfortunately unpopular opinion

she was investigated heavily. did you forget?

She was investigated…

It was found she broke the law…

And she faced zero consequences…

I’d try and help you understand more, but not when you’re that insulting

I just can’t shake this feeling though that things are painfully unfair

It is for everyone…

Everyone else got it, why not me?

Even if your childhood was rougher than most, some had it worse. Like, I saw a story about an adult 5’9 man in his early 20s. His parent took him out of elementary school when CPS started investigating. When he was finally rescued he weighed 70lbs and his teeth were breaking as he tried to eat food, but he was too hungry to stop due to the pain.

So you very well could have had a very shitty childhood, but it’s not as bad as that guy and you’re on your own with the opportunity to support yourself.

To look on the brighter side: all the bullshit that comes with being an adult won’t seem as bad to you.

That would mean a lot more if it wasn’t in the same reply chain as you clearly not knowing what you’re talking about about…

This is what happens when both parties excuse anything their “team” does…

Too many Americans were fine with Hillary and mad about this, or mad about Hillary and fine with this.

Meanwhile saying something as basic as:

Everyone needs to be held to the same standard

And both sides pile on accusing you of “whataboutism” for saying standards should apply evenly. It makes zero sense, but happens fucking constantly

but at the cost of competitive fairness??? No thanks.

You do realize current CoD is matchmaking based on engagement, right?

If it takes 3 matches of getting stomped to exit the game, it’ll give you an easy win every 3 games.

If the first number changes, so does the second.

That’s not even getting into how buying skins artificially reduces the second number.

Like, after accounting for just those two things, it’s kind of absurd to complain about fairness unless it’s competitive mode, and I’m pretty sure those already have pc/console splits.

Player input uniformity is one of my biggest gaming gear grinding situations. It’s especially problematic with my favorite genre of games: competitive FPS games.

That’s how it was split…

A PC controller would be matched up like a console controller. Now pc controllers will be grouped with PC mouse players…

You typed a lot but don’t seem to know what you’re talking about about bud

Right/left only exists to stop us from realizing it should be top/bottom

It used to stop you from getting notifications of replies but still seeing them.

Now you get replies, which isn’t exactly a good thing, if I block a whole instance it’s because their users are insufferable

Posting screenshots where people use alurs like normal words, just normalizes the slur and makes more idiots think it’s ok to use.

But of course this screenshot came from lemmy.ml and they act like trumpers in every other respect, so they don’t care about slurs either.

It was William Caxton about 600 years ago who owned it.

Everything I found just now talks about how great a historical figure he was, and implies he somehow was personally doing the work.

But if you dig deeper you should be able to find reference to the Dutch workers he brought with the press who knew how to use it and actually set the type on the presses. They were the ones actually making those books that standardized English grammar and spelling.

I don’t have the time at the moment, but if you’re interested then that’s enough to start researching

Is this an English grammar rule

English grammar and spelling rules were made up on the fly by Dutch workers with a tenable grasp on the language themselves.

They just operated the first English printing presses and the owner valued quantity over quality. So they just did fucking whatever.

So you acknowledge Carter’s right leanings were a problem, not what voters wanted, and that it started a trend we’ve wasted 50 years on and led to Republicans becoming more and more extreme to the point trump is on his second term…

But you’re just ok with that

Because you think Carter wasn’t smart enough to see where his policy would lead? Even when the majority of Dem voters kept screaming it?

Not really sure I can say the name, but this one?

That semi-ended his music career…

The album art featured him standing in front of the twin towers while they exploded, and that was the lead single.

It was set to release like 9/16/01, and Boots did not push back the album or change the cover art

He’s pleading guilty to get life without parole instead of executed.

Meh, the evil was usually based on humans.

Steve Bannon made a lot of gold selling virtual wow gold, but even worse he learned how toxic and impressionable young male gamers were. Which lead to Gamergate and the radicalizing of a lot of the current generation…

If anything, Gile was underestimating the dangers.

Boots Riley has been saying it for decades…

It’s finna blow cause

They got the TV, we got the truth

They own the judges and we got the proof

We got hella people, they got helicopters

They got the bombs and we got the, we got the

We got the guillotine

At the time of his presidency Carter was fighting a movement from the Dem voters who said he was too conservative for them. Their concern was politicians kept moving to the right, and they were concerned what would happen if there was no left party anymore…

People today thinking of Carter as a leftist is very unuronic, and what our grandparents were afraid of

Ah, so one Kevin Bacon away, thanks!
