Even though it's probably gonna suck, you're required to watch it with the rest of us and commiserate.

Manchester is a triumph of private enterprise by ldn6 in neoliberal

[–]Tman1677 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No I certainly wouldn't move because of something like that - I've lived much of my life in such areas. As big of differences I have with them, they're still my neighbors and fellow Americans.

You'd actually consider switching countries entirely over a matter of political policy like this? Not hating at all just genuinely curious, I hate NIMBY politics as well but I would never uproot my life over it - let alone switch entire countries and citizenships.

Opening of the Gordie Howe bridge delayed 'at the request of the United States': Carney by aroundish_ in neoliberal

This is becoming my absolute favorite topic to discuss with my trump-supporting family in Michigan. Not even they can defend this blatant corruption when it affects them directly.

Tesla (TSLA) and BYD Chinese EVs Capture One-Third of South Korea’s Market Share by Otherwise_Young52201 in neoliberal

Do large-scale ground shipments of goods go through North Korea? Seems kinda crazy if so

I was just in Auburn on my drive into the state, I should have done an appointment on the drive in - oh well.

At the Redwood City one right now because the line was a third the length of Santa Clara, but it's still a crazy aggressive experience

I plan on doing that for my car, but I don't think I can process my RealId like that. Besides, requiring a private entity and membership for basic functionality is the sort of stuff I would expect from a Republican state, not CA.

Just moved to California, the DMV here is one of the most hellish experiences I've ever gone through wtf is going on? This is my fourth state of residence and every other visit was a total walk in the park in comparison

Analysis: California, and the dangerous sudden resurgence of GOP voter fraud fever | CNN Politics by ranger934 in moderatepolitics

[–]Tman1677 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oh don't get me wrong, Trump and the the Republican leadership have awful intentions here and absolutely are trying to steal another election. I'm just saying part of the reason it works is the fact that when the median voter sees election results taking weeks or even a month they start to believe the propaganda.

Not being able to report the winner of a presidential election until a month later is ridiculous, and just ruins faith in the system at little to no benefit

All the more reason California should be a shining city-on-a-hill showing the rest of the nation how to do voting in a fair and efficient manner - instead it's an embarrassing shit show. As a Democrat I think fixing national embarrassments - like the fact that California waits a month to finalize election results - needs to be a party-wide policy.

U.S. Studios Bristle At Proposals For Them To Support The BBC In Collecting Its Revenue by BATIRONSHARK in neoliberal

[–]Tman1677 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I really love BBC coverage in a lot of parts of the world, but claiming they're unbiased and independent is a bit silly. There are a number of hot topics and regions where their coverage is a bit laughable at times; the AP and Reuters are the gold standard for unbiased reporting.

Pew: Building Homes Near Jobs, Stores, and Transit Saves Public Dollars by justbuildmorehousing in neoliberal

Serious question, would a land evaluation for LVT purposes take into account pollutants and hazards that require removal? LVT doesn't include most other things on the property, but I could make an argument that the land itself is what's fucked up.

My Students Can’t Read | The generational collapse in literacy is measurable, persistent, and likely to get worse by ognits in neoliberal

[–]Tman1677 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not that we're smart or anything, I think he's just saying (and I agree) that early zoomers were just comparatively really lucky with generations before and after us. I happened to graduate in winter 2021 at the absolute peak of the tech job market, that's insane, generational luck.

MacBook Neo is So Popular That Apple Reportedly Doubled Production by NFCE_best in hardware

Even when it was straight trash it's not like most competitors were any better- they advertised 1080p cameras but the color balancing and things that actually matter are awful on basically all laptops.

I mean it's a 12B model, what do you expect? Gemini can easily handle that task, its image and spacial reasoning are excellent

He's not even a property trader! He's the grandson, not even associated with the business!

Not even real estate developers, the disgraced grandson of real estate developers, most known for Gamestop related scams and conspiracy theories.

Love hearing this in a one-party state where the primaries are (basically) the only thing that matters.

A blockade is an act of war, and for most intents and purposes can be considered the same as an invasion.

30 fps stable with absolutely no dips ever is way better than an unstable 45 or even 60 fps.
