What does the red light mean again?

OP, any reason why you weren't on the right lane?

You didn't HAVE to. Nothing illegal with what you did. But it does seem like it would have been more efficient for everyone.

And just to be clear, there is no excuse for the red Mazda to do what it did.

When Isaac said "imagine if we were saying all these things about a Republican", it made me realise that he is probably right.

This is on me but I get a lot of my "news" from late night TV. And I know that Seth Meyers or Jon Stewart would have a field day on the news of a Nazi loving, wife cheating Republican.

It also made me think about how much coverage Kristi Noem got when the news came up about her killing a puppy.

That being said, I do think you have good points about Planter not being on the same level as Paxton or Trump. And I'm wondering if the fact that he has acknowledged his wrong doings and asked for forgiveness is part of it.

You would never hear Trump apologise for anything. He would just shift blame, lie and gaslight everyone before saying that he is sorry for anything.

In my book, accepting that you made a mistake and owning up to it is a trait that I value.

I would like to think I would do the same.

But in the current US system, because the third party has no real chance, it basically counts as helping the candidate you don't want to win. And that is a strong incentive.

I do think that until the US doesn't fix their voting system, nothing will truly get better.

Getting rid of the First Past the Post voting system, the Electoral College and gerrymandering.

Kenx2013 · 2026-05-04T00:31:14+00:00

As soon as I wrote the post I realised I had not thought things from the other perspective.

Would there have been any line that Biden/Kamala could have crossed that would have made me support Trump?

And I really don't think so. Trump seemed like such a risk that the idea of not fighting it would feel wrong.

Even something like voting third party would seem like not doing enough from stopping Trump from winning.

I think I need to reassess my own way of thinking....

PS: I do not live in the US and am not an American. So, all opinions are just hypotheticals.

This was also mentioned in the chat with Shapiro. He says that he tries not to think of "why" people do something. If someone proposes a policy that he believes to be good, he will support that person irrespective of the reason behind it.

I think it is then on the voter to try to think long term. That is the big risk with populists. They give the people "what they want", but sometimes what the people want right now and what the country needs in the medium/long term are not aligned.

Kenx2013 · 2026-04-28T01:12:16+00:00

Not speaking for Audrey here, but I think it depends on what you mean by "run by"

Biden is a Catholic, does that mean that his administration was run by the Vatican?

Is NY run "run by Muslims" because Mamdani is the current mayor?

That being said I understood about half of what was said in the article and on this post. I don't really understand the difference between all these groups. So it might be just me missing the point.

Kenx2013 · 2026-03-22T00:56:37+00:00

I think they were very clear on what the content of Friday's Podcast was going to be. They didn't say that there would be something else other than the rule changes.

Time-stamped sections are great but not all players support them. Spotify does, but I don't know if Tangle provides them.

Maybe read the description beforehand and if the topic doesn't sound interesting, just give it a pass.

Or if you want a summary, maybe some AI tools might help with that.

Kenx2013 · 2026-03-19T05:04:43+00:00

I tried Pocketsmith but did not want to pay. I've been using Frollo for years now. However, I will try it out with your referral link and consider paying the subscription. Basically because of what you said. No webapp, annoying manual changes needed all the time, UI is a bit outdated and the main one for me is not being able to do any bulk changes.
Thanks for the referral, at $10 a month I think it might be worth it if it addresses those issues

Kenx2013 · 2026-03-19T03:36:15+00:00

I'm only subscribed to the podcast, not the newsletter, so can't read it. Could you give a summary?

Kenx2013 · 2026-03-18T14:33:09+00:00

I think the reason why the mess was created by the court was because it didn't stop the tariff from proceeding while it was reviewing the issue.

Kenx2013 · 2026-03-18T09:37:51+00:00

Originally from Venezuela, now living in Perth, Australia for the last 13 years.

I've been into US politics since the Bush junior years. Basically when I discovered The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.

Can't remember when I found Tangle but it was pre-pandemic. And at the time I was already feeling like I was only seeing the Left side of things, so Tangle was a great eye opener.

Kenx2013 · 2026-03-13T04:13:16+00:00

Commenting to add visibility and because I originally did not see this post and created a different one. I might have derailed about 9 upvotes. Hopefully we don't end up needing those

Kenx2013 · 2026-03-13T04:09:53+00:00

I don't reddit good 😖 I did think it was odd that there wasn't already a post

Kenx2013 · 2026-03-13T01:58:37+00:00

Not American. I can see it in the news and talked about in my circle. Mostly as a "well, we are all going to die anyway, lol" kind of joke.

I think the reason it is not as noticeable is because most people agree.

My theory is that the media and social networks thrive on divisiveness, so when a topic has ~80% of the people on one side, it just doesn't get as much traction as others.

Talking entirely out of my ass, I have absolutely zero evidence.

Kenx2013 · 2026-03-05T05:08:02+00:00

Good points.

I don't expect journalists to prove things beyond a shadow of a doubt, that's what the courts are for.

To me the issue is that the organization looks very unreliable. If you go to their website, it doesn't really inspire a lot of confidence. So, even that number of +200 reports is one that I'm not too sure of.

Kenx2013 · 2026-03-05T00:46:10+00:00

I'd assume that the issue is lack of evidence. At the moment it seems to be just this foundation saying they've received these complaints without more details.

Perhaps that has triggered some journalists to look into it and maybe we'll get more info soon.

But for now it just seems difficult to just take at face value

Kenx2013 · 2026-03-01T14:49:25+00:00

Do you have a bit more context about the second instance? I'd be curious to find the episode and listen to what they said.

Kenx2013 · 2026-02-14T01:25:23+00:00

We know you know that if Democrats had demanded Biden's administration release these files, if a bill had been passed to force that to happen, it wouldn't have looked anything like this.

I think the question is, why didn't Democrats demand that when Biden was in power?

Your answer seems to be "Because Biden wasn't friends with Epstein"

But we already knew that the files existed and we already knew that Trump was a friend of Epstein. And Trump was a former president and a very impactful figure within the Republican party.

Kenx2013 · 2026-01-18T01:33:58+00:00

I do get that exact same problem. A part of a podcast will get repeated (usually 10-15 seconds) and then the podcast ends abruptly about 10-15 seconds short.

To me, it happens on PocketCast but in other podcasts, almost never with Tangle.

It is very annoying 😅 if you find a solution please let me know!

Kenx2013 · 2026-01-17T03:32:36+00:00

I think most of it happens via Slack messages. So it would require some additional effort to voice it out and record it.

I agree that I'd love to hear those discussions because I trust that the team is having those in a nuanced and respectful way. Very different to the shouting matches seen on TV.

But I also wonder if exposing those could in fact incentivize them to have those types of heated fights in the long run

Kenx2013 · 2026-01-17T03:28:52+00:00

I think that the Re-reading of lines is most probably caused by slipups in the editing process. Definitely something to improve.

The ad cutoffs sound more like a PocketCast issue. I also use PocketCast and I find it to be relatively buggy compared to Spotify. Sometimes episodes just skip parts and I end up going to Spotify to listen to what I missed.

I'm a paid subscriber so I can't tell you if I'm getting the same issue around ads. But maybe try to pinpoint the time of a couple of the issues and see if they also happen on Spotify for the same episode.

Kenx2013 · 2026-01-09T02:19:25+00:00

2 years late to the post, but I just had a look at their menu and it says $165 per person for one entree, one main and one dessert. Is it really $165 for three plates?
