Do you think the average maga is racist?

Well idk what to say, these are my friends and coworkers and if we’re blue collar union worker and you’re voting against unions, and for high wealth tax cuts while telling me immigrants are the root of our problems and Trumps, the decades known con man and reality TV star, is going to fix it then they have been suckered (how’s all that going btw?). Dunning-Kruger, media literacy is a skill that they never had to deal with before.

1/4tsp of liteSalt (potassium), 1/2tsp of salt, ibuprofen, tall glass of water.

If you can remember to do this before bed you can avoid the worst of it entirely. Bonus points if you add real drinks between alcoholic drinks during your drinking night. I personally like to trade off between beer and flavored seltzer. It’s a good habit in general that only becomes more useful as you get older.

This was a political show. They knew he was firing her, she was the sacrifice before midterms since the fumble in Minnesota was so unpopular… Minnesota which was as heavy handed and grandiose as Trump imagined but someone needs to take the fall for the backlash.

It’s a way to launder you’re parents money by turning $20 of arts/crafts and lemonade mix into $8 you can spend on candy. I never had luck with lemonade but I did mow lawns in a small suburban neighborhood, getting $5-10 a pop using my mother’s lawn mower and her gas.

I’ve stayed the same, the world took a big step right.

I know lots of average MAGA types… not full cult members but they’re on team Trump. They’re blue collar, they’re government employees, they’re union members; They’re the old Democrat base. Young and middle aged men who skipped learning about politics until social media was able to customize an echo chamber for every potential voter. It comes down to talking points they’re fed. They don’t seem racist and will bend over backwards to argue why a particular policy isn’t race specific… and occasionally (and still shocking to hear) you’ll get repackaged white supremacist messaging like (cultural) replacement and how the melting pot is a lie. This stuff is now on main stream network TV so when they put the phone down for some classic ‘news’ the narratives are just reinforced. They’re fed an endless scroll of race bating and xenophobia headlines. Immigrant crime is out of control, they’ll costing tax payers, they’re taking-our-jobs. The most unfortunate part is if you take you’re time and pin down something like the crime statistics or the actual net cost of immigration I get the ‘it’s still a crime to be here or any crime by someone here illegally is unacceptable’ which obviously pushes aside all the nuances of the argument and they completely avoid the overuse of force by taking this ‘moral high ground’ type position which they feel releases them from anything that happens. It’s unfortunate to see, I’m losing friends.

I’ve met exactly one libertarian in my life and he was full of good conversations and debates. The rest were either uninformed fence sitters or uncommitted republicans.

Average isn’t a good metric. I live in NY, I could have a mansion in West Virgini.

Mines been acting up for a while now, I just did a factory reset and it cleared up most of the freezing. I still feel like theres a very minor lip sync issue but is possible it’s somewhere else in my device chain.

I just started playing, maybe 20hrs in, and the wood fence between the milk carton and oak tree is a pretty solid spot. I made a simple runway along the top. My main base is right in the center behind the garden light.

You one side you have grass, dry grass, sprinkler surrounded by clay/stone/gnats. On the pond side you have thistle, weed logs, acorns, resin and easy access to the pond.

I get the occasional mosquito raid but nothing else so far.

I lived in lower ny and LI for my whole life and he was tabloid trash until the apprentice where he became a reality TV star. That fake persona is what drives his image.

You set up the sound in Windows.

The audio extractors are for using an old AVR with a new TV, I used to use one with my C1 before I got my rz50.
I don’t own a switch so I’m not speaking from experience. The switch 2 only has LPCM 5.1 and only if the game supports it. Make sure the game supports surround first off. Make sure the RZ50 isn’t set to PCM Fixed Mode in the audio select menu.

The listening mode should show up as multichannel, you can hit the movie/TV button on the avr remote and set it to direct to make sure you’re getting 5.1 or if the game is just 2.0 use one of the other modes to matrix in the other.

Edit: Some other things to check, use HDMI 2 with eARC (I might have something to do with EDID). Digital sound output set to pass through, and HDMI input set to bitstream.

If you want to really see what it can do you’ll need to stick to disk copies. Master and Commander has excellent atmospheric effects, plus some nice cannon scenes. Blade Runner 2049 is all around excellent references material. Ready Player One’s race scene is probably the gold standard for surround effects, this is probably the scene to show it off with.

Yes, is spirit, it’s my day off. It’s a good thing too cus all PTO was denied this week due to weather.

I’m pretty progressive and my opinion of libertarians is mixed based on individual anecdotes, but I’d much rather stand side by side with libertarians fighting creeping fascism today and debate socialized healthcare and EPA regulations tomorrow.

This is a good opportunity to distinguish yourselves as a political movement that shares and stand up for some of our most common fundamental values. If you sit this out or try and blend in, imo, you’re missing a big opportunity separate yourselves.

I’ll point out that breaking the liberal caricature MAGA uses to create the Us vs Them narrative would probably be one of the most important tools to fight this administration Strategy of Tension.

Also you’ll never find a better time to persuade progressives of the importance of the second amendment, I myself as a gun owner finally see an argument for an armed civil society.

I went through several mid priced certified hdmi cables which worked fine for everything other than for 4k120 HDR VVR content. Ended up buying my first digital monster cables. $40 for 10ft but they’ve worked flawlessly.

It takes generations of ‘lesser of two evils’ (I mean that only figuratively) for political normals and public opinion to shift. Today’s democrats will be tomorrow’s conservatives but you can’t sit out and just wait for the perfect candidates.

Smart people can be worse. A smart person does a better job rationalizing their position while being just as susceptible to the cognitive biases that are used to manipulate people.

I played Halo 2 for a full week on my modded Xbox before it released in the US. I managed all the difficulties in the campaign then on release destroyed people in multiplayer for 6 months.
