Is it? The voice in my head pronounced zshi when I read it.

This was the most refreshingly honest answer I’ve read in a long time. And it made me laugh. Thanks for both.

I’ve called companies that disconnect the call or “in order to connect you to the right agent, please tell us what you’re calling about,” them inevitably get it wing enough times to make you sit through a menu of about ten choices that are not correct and disconnect after three rounds of this nonsense.

"I’m sorry you’re frustrated, perhaps it’s time to start a new topic.’

“I’m not going to respond to that.”

"I only use my powers for good!”

Yes, I thought the article was about that and ideas for correcting neoliberalism and how to root it out, effectively. I was sorely disappointed.

I was thinking about this before scrolling comments. It seems many on the right support/vote for policies that actively make their quality of life seemingly better in the short term, and are surprised and disappointed when the long-term consequences of their decisions begin happening to become noticeable (usually more for me, less for thee?). When they discover the policies affect them, personally, they become angry and belligerent, looking to place blame on external factors. The left (I don’t mean neoliberal) seem to go within, asking things like, “how did my voting choices affect this? What have I learned? How can I calibrate my choices for better results, going forward?” then try to make better decisions, even if it hurts them more, personally, in the short term, hoping for better across-the-board results long term?

I’ve just begun milling this, so I’ve no idea if this is correct or not. I’d love to see some research on it.

Lee Atwater playbook, but yes.

They called him Mayo Pete for valid reasons, perhaps a refresher is in order.

Shares location, collects other data, no data deletion. I really like the idea of the app, just not the lack* of privacy.

In The Handmaid’s Tale (book), the Captain took his wife’s handmaid to a sex club.

Well it worked with me, because I paid it.

So, because I was reminded of Alito’s take, I got curious and was pleasantly surprised by Wikipedia’s entry about religions that are lgbtq friendly.

1. Nothing new wrt Trump, so idk why CEOs feign surprise.
2. Biden policies are, for the most part, tepid, but I’m the current political and media cycle, whatever, I guess.
3. What exactly qualifies this as "news?”

I chuckled. I think there is deep seated shame of being gay, or soft, in toxic masculinity (and toxic femininity), that people probably go to extremes to hide it. Like being a player, spousal “discipline,” etc. and it gets passed down from generation to generation. But that’s a whole other topic.

MAC addresses serious have to be spoofed.

There are two people using resources. Should’ve broadened my set, let me revise that now: greed and control issues. Thanks for the catch.

Why can’t we discuss both if both apply?

I had to turn it on, but that was a 6s. Currently running android without much storage and I’m loathe to back up to cloud, unless it’s business that doesn’t require extra privacy, but may needed as a reference, later.

Why? My laptop has more storage than my phone. Sometimes I need to save a conversation for future reference, and want photos on my laptop where I have more storage, not on my phone.
