I’m not opposed to either measure, but I’m really struggling to understand why they rolled the two together into one ballot initiative instead of separating it.

It was backed and bankrolled by some local rich fuck and “adjusted” to benefit the rich ofc. It’s good that it failed IMO, unsure what Oregon’s deal about it was though

CO also voted, with 75% Yes to FUCK YO GAMBLING PROFITS lmao

I think in general that’s true, but man, taking something like Ambien and not actually going to sleep really messes you up lol I’ve only seen it happen to someone once, but it was scary AF

Also, the startup I’m at just had 2 co-founders leave

That’s a resume generating event

Real talk, forget about a down payment. There are a bunch of different ways to get a 0 down mortgage with varying qualifiers so that chances you qualify for one of them is quite decent.

Even if not, there are still a bunch of other ways to get low down payment mortgages for ~3% down or less.

Toss out the old adage of “20% down or bust” and keep any money saved towards it for savings for all the other costs of home/closing

Wut? The major manufacturers I’ve paid attention to, who’ve made update support promises, have done “X years” not “X versions”

RETURN THE SLAB

The day he said that “ReGULAr CAmErAs aRe ALl YoU NeEd” was the day I lost all trust in their implementation. And I’m someone who’s completely ready to turn over all my driving to an autopilot lol

I mean it could go either way really, lots of reports of people peeling off support already because of how extreme MAGA is, if they get riled up even more and really start shooting at the sky it could definitely accelerate that peeling.

It could also backfire, so who knows.

“Then you’re not gay. And even if you did want to suck dicks, that would be okay,” she replied. “God would still love you.”

Based Mamaw lmao, how did Vance turn out so…wrong lol

but it is clear that most Japanese voters decided to move their support from Japan’s conservative party to its liberal alternative

This is good right? I assume this “Liberal Democratic Party” is equivalent to the US Republicunts?

shop local

Be nice if “shopping local” didn’t mean 2-6x higher prices, a lot of us can’t afford that kinda price hike

Listen to me…I have an idea…

Same, I have the Family tier and it just makes sense. At 23/month if all 5 slots are filled it works out too $4.60/month/person.

No ads AND no hassle with this and that instance going down or that app being blocked or browser shannigans

Fuck yo Zip Drives, all my homies use SyQuest

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world I nominate this post for THE TROMBONE lolol

Who are you to dictate who needs what? I definitely “need” a smart fridge from my example because I always forget to make a list before I go to the grocery store. It would save me so much time and money.

You honestly sound like the old fucks of ancient times past who always bitched about new “tech”:

• Damn smartphones, ruining society
• Damn internet, ruining society
• Damn personal computers, ruining society
• Damn video games, ruining society
• Damn television, ruining society
• Damn comic books, ruining society
• Damn rock and roll music, ruining society
• Damn jazz music, ruining society
• Damn movies, ruining society
• Damn automobiles, ruining society
• Damn telephones, ruining society
• Damn electricity, ruining society
• Damn novels, ruining society
• Damn newspapers, ruining society
• Damn printing press, ruining society
• Damn written language, ruining society
• Damn iron tools, ruining society
• Damn bronze weapons, ruining society
• Damn agriculture, ruining society
• Damn fire, ruining society

Nothing is stopping you from running away into the mountains to life a tech free life

Are you mad about the technology or the underlying reasons it was born of? Honestly most people’s anger towards tech isn’t about the tech itself, but what it’s really used for

For example, the smart fridge, on paper most people would find it a fantastic idea. But then the user-hostile features set in. An internal camera could helpfully analyze everything in your fridge and put together an ez shopping list, but then in reality we kinda get that because it was designed around things like selling data collection and ADs and then designed to break in a year or 2 and take out half the fridge along with it because they want to make more money off you every 2 years

Now take the smart fridge in a world with strong privacy and consumer protection laws (and maybe even a capitalism free world) and it would be totally different, not only would you get cool things designed properly with heart and soul, but it’ll also last a long time. Modern tech doesn’t have to be as fragile as it is, NASAs space probes and rovers and satellites prove time and time again that “High Tech” can last with proper design and manufacturing. In the depths of space their shit is routinely lasting their original mission lengths. In space, in the top 10 most hostile places we know.

Fast Forward has been a thing since like…the 80s

please be a maga shirt please be maga shirt

The shirt read, “Do not give in to the war within. End veteran suicide.”
