Stein isn't in the ballot in enough states to win the electoral college. She literally cannot win.

You might as well vote for Barney the dinosaur for all the good it will do.

A vote for a candidate who cannot win is wasted.

The only person older than Trump to ever run in the general election is Biden.

Worse than that. You bought software licenses specific to that Wii, not to an online account. If it died, you lost all your purchases.

So - ignoring the time he sent a mob to try and overthrow the US government, how about we use the fact that he literally said he'd be a dictator?

Or maybe the fact that his legal defense against trying to overthrow the government was that the President is immune from all crimes. His lawyers even literally said he could have his political opponents murdered, and so long as the surviving politicians don't impeach and convict him he can't be held liable for it.

They're arguing a legal framework under which he can murder the opposition, and then kill anyone that tries to remove him from office.

And it's gotten much worse since then. The $185 billion number listed as the highest wealth would be around number 5 now, with Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, and Arnault all having more than that now I think.

My favorite statistic household net worth (includes cars, houses, retirement, everything).

Median from 2022 was 192,000 Mean from 2022 was 1,063,000

The ultra-rich are such incredible outliers that the mean is more than 5x the median.

The 10 wealthiest people in 2024 control almost 1.7 trillion dollars. That's more than the GDP of the pooreat 100 countries combined.

I like the bleep-boo sounds of the command prompt scrolling by on computers.

The sound is higher-quality than the files we're getting from the streams, so it's fine.

For me it's been "I see you bought this specific laser engraver. Would you be interested in buying that exact model?"

No. I already bought it, and it's not a consumable. If I decided I needed a new laser a week into ownership, it wouldn't be because I was thrilled with that exact model.

Amen.

Felons can try to make amends. Troy just makes Jager bombs at the office and passes at the 19yo receptionist.

I can’t be racist because that would be hurtful and wrong.

Yes. But at the same time I'm actually okay with ads for products that are legitimately good and are relevant to me, so long as I know they're an advertisement.

Products need marketing. It's reality. I'd rather get my marketing in the form of a recommendation or review from a trusted source than a random video shoved down my throat.

A easy example of a good source for me is MKBHD. He gets free stuff and sponsorships, but is selective regarding what he'll accept sponsorships from, is very clear when a segment is sponsored, and will absolutely say a product is bad or overpriced even if he got it for free.
