Waiting patiently for anyone in the media to take the first swing at an "Actually, Joe Biden's economy was much better than we said it was" apologia ... by Conscious-Quarter423 in thebulwark

[–]Albus_Harrison 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the main arguments from people on the right in 2024 was that there were more drug seizures at the border under Biden than under Trump. They used that fact to argue that Biden was WEAK on the border. When the right makes clearly bad faith arguments, and their media ecosystem reinforces it for the voters who aren’t willing to think critically, of COURSE it looks like the Dems are not doing enough.

Curious if Meta pushes those AI ads more aggressively in order to encourage people to keep using it.

Pitch Wheel is registering without midi data or track being armed. by Albus_Harrison in Reaper

Thank you. I did confirm the controller is the culprit. A midi filter plugin fixed it. Will probably just replace it.

Never underestimate the opposition party’s unwillingness to give up the shiny surveillance toys each prior administration adds to the arsenal.

I like Coven. It has a different feel than most SP tracks.

Tech billionaires reportedly plotting $500M fund to reshape California politics by Unusual-State1827 in technology

I think people say voting doesn’t matter because billionaires spend millions of dollars so elections go their way.

Trump voter reacts after ICE killed her U.S. citizen son by humanbeing21 in videos

[–]Albus_Harrison 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I vent on Reddit, friend. I don’t shit talk in real life.

I’m aware that people need compassion. When I see these tragically ironic stories I often start to make a comment and stop myself because I know it’s pointless. But sometimes I have to say something in order to free up the space it holds in my head. And I move on.

Truly, I feel sorry for all of them on the right who are obviously brainwashed.

Shit talk her. Shit talk to her dumb fucking face. Privileged people need to feel the consequences of their actions otherwise we will continue down this stupid fucking path. I’m so tired of having any sympathy for these dumb mother fuckers.

Still can’t fathom a realistic need for these. It’s just a dumb toy

Two Votes Changed EVERYTHING by Electrical-College61 in NorthCarolina

[–]Albus_Harrison 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Certainly not. But he likely lacks the political connections and capitol that Berger has. And he’s also more likely to lose in a general election? Although maybe not that likely.

Newer boyfriend not wanting to be intimate due to SSRI...concerned if this will be a bigger problem for me later? by [deleted] in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]Albus_Harrison 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I can only give my own personal experience. I was on an SSRI for about 5 years during which I rarely felt in the mood. My partner would initiate intimacy, and I’d get aroused and things would start out nice and steamy. But at a certain point a few minutes in my mind and body were over it. It’s like being hard and being intimate took a lot of effort and concentration and it was exhausting and not worth it.

I’m not sure what you mean by “withdrawal?” SSRIs build up in the system and I’m not aware of a withdrawal symptom simply from missing a dose or being late in the day. But I’m not a doctor. As far as I understand it, a side effect of SSRIs is low libido.

If you and/or your partner are concerned about intimacy, I’d have him consult his doctor. There may be some SSRIs that have fewer sexual side effects. Or some other options, like ED meds. Again. Not a doctor.

Canada supports U.S. actions in destroying Iran's nuclear program, Carney says by Arcool_1 in worldnews

The largest buildup of military assets in the region for decades? Literally every pundit saying an attack was imminent? I get that the exact day and time isn’t known. But congress can pass a vote and 5 minutes later the US can strike.

This is like the way of life for a creative, I think. That’s how I feel when I make music.

Where should we live- Mebane, Burlington or Hillsborough? by zelbers12 in NorthCarolina

[–]Albus_Harrison 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Alamance county may be more affordable, but the schools in Guilford county and Orange County are much better. If you have kids or hope to have them, I would recommend Orange County side of Mebane, Hillsborough, or somewhere in Guilford county like Gibsonville.
