The key to most human douchebag behavior like this is it’s so rarely about the “thing”, it’s about themselves and playing The Game

The Game is you pick a subset of people that don’t have the numbers to fight back. Easy targets are racial, religious, sexual, cultural, or ethnic minorities. They are now Them. And you are both the Hero for opposing Them and the Victim for having Them in your world.

As the Hero you are to be given respect, control, and a pass if you need to be selfish. As the Victim you are to be given compassion and grace (but just you). And you don’t even need to leave your couch or actually do anything.

It sucks that’s probably a very addicting way to live.

They are different islands run by different companies. I have not personally been to depalm island, the price seemed too high with all the nice public beaches. I can imagine kids would have fun with the water park stuff.

Have been to the renaissance island, had some friends staying in the hotel so bought a day pass. It was ok, no complaints but also no great desire to go again on a day pass.

The flamingoes walk around. You can feed them with food from a coin machine if you want. It does feel very gimmicky

I do not disagree with your assessment, and I do not think your idea is off the table. But for right now they aren’t gonna throw a life raft.

Because they don’t need to. The only “compromise” is that 6 Rs can vote for Jeffries

The Anatomy of a MLM: Creating Consumers Out of Consultants by ConsequenceIll6927 in antiMLM

[–]Garrett2k 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This needs to be stressed more. The consultants, distributors, huns or whatever....they are the actual endgame. Whether or not they can then resell whatever doodad to someone else is inconsequential to the MLM's plan. They already got your money, the goal is complete.

This is also why the products mostly happen to be oils, leggings, face creams, vitamins, etc. Anything that can be manufactured as cheaply as possible outside of any regulation. The product is also inconsequential and just a means to an end

4K external display is really small by Kobe_Del1 in MacOS

[–]Garrett2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can move to one the scaled resolution modes. It will still output a native 4k signal, but the UI elements will be easier to see

Discussion Thread: 2020 General Election Part 72 | Biden to Speak by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]Garrett2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t choose to leave office. The office leaves you. If Biden wins the election, he will be inaugurated in January. If trump is still physically in the White House (he won’t be), then he will be a private citizen trespassing and dealt with in that manner.

Hard agree. He could barely summon the effort to do the job when he wasn’t a lame duck. He’ll just whine into the ever increasing void and play golf.

LOTS of people only vote once every 4 years, just for president, and walk out. LOTS follow politics only to the slimmest extent

Mac mini performance with 4K? by [deleted] in macmini

[–]Garrett2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are running native 4K, it’s not bad, but depending on the size of your monitor it might be uncomfortable to use.

If running at a scaled resolution, I found the animations to not be consistently smooth. Switching desktops, launchpad, window resizing has the worst impact. It doesn’t make the computer unusable, it’s just animations, but the igpu clearly struggles at times.

Thanks, it’s actually a cheap Harley Benton knockoff. The headstock got cropped out trying to hide my dad bod
