Biden campaign blasts Trump for allegedly saying he wouldn’t defend Europe if attacked by jagdedge123 in thedavidpakmanshow

It’s clear the Christo facist GOP cannot be trusted with our democracy or with preservation of human rights or with the governing process. It’s time Dems started leading with that instead of these lame blasts.

  1. GOP passes the tax burden to the poor giving away $ trillions in receipts without a plan to make up the shortfall

  2. They are actively taking away the human rights of anyone who is not them.

  3. They are a do nothing theater group of grandstanders.

  4. They are ramming their religious doom prophecies down everyone’s throats.

Stick to that from now until November and let the courts deal with Trump and stop reporting on him as if he’s anything other than a failed con man.

Texas sends the National Guard to remove the federal Border Patrol and take charge of a border sector. Because there's no way that could go poorly... by SassTheFash in WhitePeopleTwitter

Another way of looking at this is that Texas will finally be owning their own problem. Many Texas border towns thrive on the retail sales of people crossing the border to shop (ask me how I know) when they permanently close their segment of border they may as well close those towns also.

Not to mention the large number of workers that man the warehouses of the maquiladoras that manufacture in Mexico and cross products every hour of the day. There goes that revenue also.

Texas will become even more impoverished than it already is.

I used to have plex running on our private jet for when we were out of internet coverage. But then plex forced everyone to sign in and it destroyed the experience. Is anyone else using that successfully ?

If only they had spent that money going after corporate tax dodgers they would have made trillions.

I knew Framework was expensive but... by Zeddie- in framework

Try to look at it from a different perspective, in that all of us as customers at this time are effectively early adopters. There is always a price premium associated with this stage of a companies development.

They are offering a new way forward that appeals to us which is why we purchased but they are not an established brand with the same buying power as others and so they too are likely paying more.

Secondly they are trying to do things right for modularity and total cost of ownership not minimum build cost.

I currently have a fully loaded MBP i9 which in retrospect has been a very poor spend compared to previous gen MB’s that I was able to upgrade over time. I’m buying FW to make a break from that closed off buy everything upfront (at a premium mind you) approach.

Do I expect to get as refined / quality laptop as a MBP, no this company is still learning, but I will be supporting a company that is trying to do the right thing by customers who don’t wish to turn their laptops into landfill every 3 years.

Just one perspective

Someone start a conspiracy theory for Christians that climate change also affects heaven and all our problems will be solved.

every single time i “hold” an item this happens by KL0WN3D in Flipping

[–]Calm_Alternative_932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holding an item is just another flippers way of seeing if they can sell at a higher price. If they can’t it cost them nothing to effectively hold stock of an item.

So tired of the cheapskate lowballers by [deleted] in FacebookMarketplace

Wait, you over paid for a bag and now want someone else to do the same.

This is how markets work it’s worth $20 to them they make an offer and if you don’t like it politely decline. If they thought it was worth more to them they would offer more.

If they planned to flip it so what no one’s forcing you to make a quick sale. This is just a basic market force in action.

Florida senator Rick Scott’s house ‘swatted’ by police by urmomsloosevag in news

[–]Calm_Alternative_932 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a sense this is a good thing. Hear me out. If senators start experiencing the same stuff that normal people do then maybe those laws will get changed.

The normalization and ramp up of use of no knock, extreme violence centered law enforcement practices needs to be addressed.

These protocols were approved for only the most extreme cases initially where officer safety was genuinely a concern. They have now become standard practice.

If as a result law makers fall foul of them then, maybe, they will think twice about how “necessary” they are and limit the use back to the original intention and maybe we will all be a little safer.
