I’m by no means an apple fan boy (I only have an air) but the apple m processors are getting faster every gen. My m1 air is fast, has a nice design, great battery life, nice screen, etc. idk what else I would want in a laptop. Obviously not a cheap but it should last me a lot longer than whatever pc I would have gotten for half the price.
I don’t follow the laptop industry closely though so maybe I’m being ripped off without realizing it?
Well good for her for changing her mind. It’s easy to laugh at people like her but I think we need to have more compassion for these people. All the spiteful people on this website often make me more mad than these dipshit republicans.
I had a lot of shitty views indoctrinated into me during my upbringing and it’s taken me years of self work and reflection to become the leftist I am today. My growth didn’t happen because people made fun of me, it happened because a close friend of mine cared about me and wanted me to become a better person.
tl;dr: laughing at republicans solves nothing and just makes you feel good about yourself, which is not a horrible thing in itself but something more leftists need to be aware of imo.
Hockey players are another breed. Not agreeing with his decision but also not that surprised.
Also, “sets exactly a good precedent”? I don’t see why this man should be expected to make personal/medical decisions based on “setting a good precedent”.
Or just fund public transportation instead :)
This is the most tech bro thing ever.
“Lets innovate ourselves out of a problem that innovation created”
Imagine trying to invent a new class tech instead of just putting your phone down.

I’m well aware of how it works.
These people are seriously fucking scary. Reading roman history with all it’s conspiracies, government takeovers etc used to seem like fiction, a relic of the past. But no, we exist on a planet where rich old people use their money and power to manipulate and oppress the masses for their own gain. And there’s no solution. How do you fight these people when they’ve weaponized ignorance and convinced a signification portion of their voter base to vote against their own interests?
Shoutout to the climate deniers playbook podcast. Anything remotely anti fossil fuels can and probably has been politicized.
we like it thic
Works surprisingly well even after all this time. I often forget its been removed.
Cognitive dissonance is fucking wild.
*edit I definitely am not using that term correctly. Double think? Someone help me out here.
This joke only makes sense to you because you have zero understanding of what is meant by people when they use this phrase. All you have to do is spend 30 mins or less listening to the perspective of the other side and you will have the context necessary to realize this “joke” is nonsensical.
You won’t though.

Because that would just be another ad lol
Corporate home ownership needs to end yesterday.
Jesus fucking christ america. Their bio includes “and, yes, Democrats love criminals and steal your tax dollars.” Did they forget their candidate is a felon?
The democratic party is a completely different discussion. Dems didn’t lose because they’re too nice to play dirty, they lost because they couldn’t even pretend to give a shit about regular folk and the problems that face them. They have no morals or convictions and are perfectly happy letting the republicans win if the alternative means fighting against corporate interests.
This is attitude is basically what I’m talking about. You will not convince people by patronizing them, or treating them like children. You have to treat them with respect, actually listen to their problems, and try to explain how leftist policies can solve those problems, while someone like Trump (or even Harris) cannot.
Many right leaning voters view liberals and leftists as academic elitists who have no concept of what their lives are like, and in many ways they are right. Treating them like children will just reinforce that belief and push them further to the right.
Not everyone can be convinced, but if we want to stop this horrific slide towards fascism we need to get serious about educating the masses on leftist beliefs and deprogram all the fascist neo-liberal propaganda they’ve been fed all their lives.
Not too long ago I was a neo-liberal, and I sure as hell didn’t change my perspective by reading patronizing comments online. I happened to start watching a black youtube creator (FD signifier) who explains concepts like white supremacy, the patriarchy, and capitalism without being hostile or patronizing to viewers who disagree with him. He gave me a way out of that line of thinking that minimized my feelings of shame from having been so ignorant.
I’m not going to pretend to know what the average person should do to combat misinformation but I can tell you with certainty that treating people who disagree with you like children, or patronizing them in any way is simply not an effective at changing their minds.
By all means make fun of trump, fascists, etc, but if you’re not prepared to calmly explain why these people are bad, people will just think you’re saying it because you want “your team” to win.
Sorry for the long essay.
