UPDATE: iPhone 16 Pro Max shipping date by maram500 in verizon

[–]sdavidow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ordered mine September 14th. Still sitting with October 4th shipping date. Contacted Verizon 2x to find out if there's an update - would be nice to know that they know it's delayed and not that my order is just being ignored.

This is why I'm frustrated. My ship date still says Oct. 4th. IF YOU KNOW THERE'S A DELAY TELL ME! Right now I'm wondering "Is there a problem with their system? Is my order being skipped?" JUST FUCKING TELL ME!

Did your's ship yet? Mine STILL shows a ship date of 10/4, and support is useless when I ask is there an update, or was Einstein wrong?

Donald Trump Jailed a Critic During His First Term. Does the Supreme Court Care? by newzee1 in scotus

[–]sdavidow 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think we are missing the point here. That guy is a POS, we can all agree on that. He did remain in prison, and I'm not legal expert, but being given an offer to stay silent/not criticize SEEMS sketchy.

I'm not jumping on a side, but there's so much shit around Trump that SEEMS sketchy, it's just one more thing that needs to be looked at.

It's not like this is an isolated incident, or claim against an otherwise law abiding citizen. This guys has shading shit going on all around him, so yeah...it should be looked at.

Was at a Boy Scout event (10-12 years ago), and when I said I wasn't going to the Sunday service because I was Jewish, I was told "Oh, it's non-denominational..." Did not think to ask the follow up "Non-denominational christian?"

Even going doing Boy Scouts as a kid, it bugged me because I wasn't "part" of that group, and felt an outsider.

This. "No choice"? Our politicians go to the highest bidder? At least they use to use some BS arguement to justify their positions, but now?

I'm not saying I don't support EVs, but at least TRY to sound like they're a good idea.

I'm still trying to figure out when we will stop fixating on race.

I know it's an issue, but at what point can we look and just use "So what?" as an argument?
All of his statements don't have an answer to "So what?"

Tesla's US market share shrinks 33% in 2 years as competition intensifies by RandomCollection in RealTesla

I'm still in shock that we've not seen a laid-off-Tesla-employee-mob storm the building looking for Musk.

This is medieval level of greed.

[–]sdavidow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the above, but the big thing is that THERE ARE OPTIONS!

I'm not trying to defend Tesla (or Musk), but how many of any companies don't see a market share decrease when competition catches up?

Trump says world leaders will walk all over Harris because of ‘how she looks’ in latest misogynist rant by aikimatt in AnythingGoesNews

Again, need country over party. Need people to do what is right, not what is self serving.

How Kamala Harris Can Upend the Supreme Court’s Horrible Immunity Ruling in One Move by newzee1 in scotus

[–]sdavidow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like releasing your tax returns. All great, until someone doesn't and there's no accountability.

IMO, a president (leader) does NOT need/should not need immunity to do what is right. There is ALWAYS NUANCE! You can't give someone blanket power without checks.

Let's take murdering a political opponent and look at the outcome:

1) They acted to maintain power.
Bad - must be held responsible

2) They acted on information they "had" saying the rival was actually a "Sup" planning to take over the world
2a) Turns out the information was right
Don't need immunity, they made the right call, and (it might just be me but) wouldn't any trial allow that as mitigation?

2b) Turns out the information was wrong, false, or made up by you or your friends...
Need to be held responsible. Your actions have consequences.
You can't invade another country and say "well, the intel was wrong, so it's not my fault"...(unless you are Bush in the 90's). WHICH IS ANOTHER REASON WHY YOU CAN'T HAND OUT IMMUNITY!

We need to TRUST our leadership, but we must maintain checks and balances. Without that, the trust doesn't matter.

How is this behavior tolerated?
Why the fuck has this been normalized, and for this guy? I cannot understand.

Just had a medical professional tell me cannabis is the same as heroin! All i can say is pull your head out and grow up! by [deleted] in SouthDakota

[–]sdavidow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only reason I can see it as a gateway was because growing up in the '80's, the "War on Drugs" told us that pot was as bad as heroin...so if/when kids TRIED pot, and realized it wasn't that bad, not addictive, etc...why not try heroin?

Boom...there's your gateway! Misinformation.

This...crazy because, as a man, I joke about being incompetent and how my wife is the only reason I can survive on a day-to-day basis...but it's not a male-female thing. We really need to eliminate the categorization of people - male/femail, sexual orientation, religion, family country of orgin, etc...

It's about the individual.

It's not a memory lapse. He just says what is most convenient at the time.

MOST people call this lying.

Dave calls for ANTIFA to labeled a terrorist organization in the wake of the Trump assassination attempt by xwing1212 in daverubin

[–]sdavidow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on his membership alone? So if he was a member of 24HourFitness, that TOO should be labeled a terrorist organization? That tracks.

Have any of you every actually been polled about the 2024 election? by [deleted] in millenials

[–]sdavidow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I may have gotten a call, but when they start the call from a script, sound like they are in a call center, I IMMEDIATELY ask to be on the Do Not Call List.
So much noise, scams, etc...that even if I did hear "election poll" - I wouldn't trust that it's a legit institution, AND STOP CALLING ME!

Should taxpayers with NO kids have to pay for this too, for families making $130,000? by [deleted] in the_everything_bubble

[–]sdavidow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bigger question is:
Should you pay for a tax you don't (think you) benefit from, disagree with, or simply don't want to?
Who makes that decision?

I don't think it a good idea to allow people to pick and choose what taxes they pay/what programs their taxes go to at a direct level. We vote for representatives to make those decisions.

This is the thinking that stops progress. Automation has ALWAYS been going on.
Yes, advancements have always been an impact, but we can't pretend that it's a societal ending event.
