Nice.

Cool, a Trump sales tax. Will it bring manufacturing jobs to the US? No, but it’ll help offset tax cuts for rich people by shifting some of the tax burden to poor people for 4 years and give them cover for downsizing.

Then when we elect a corporate-friendly Democrat to undo some of the damage in 2028, corporations can just lower prices by 5%, claim a win, and enjoy another collective price gouge. Fake inflation taught us that consumers will just suffer through their bullshit and blame whoever’s in office.

Then in 2032… another fascist can do tariffs again.

What a great country.

I saw this in real time and it was even more disgusting than can be conveyed in text. You really need to see and hear these two goblins shouting and wheezing to get an accurate picture of where they want Democrats to go in the future.

Well I did say they are dumb AF.

Hope there will be a legitimate election in 2028, and show up to the fucking primary before it and in 2026.

I think Trump won because of the economy. Yes, he has a rabid base that really does want his fascism, but the voters who pushed him over the edge are ones suffering because inflation and the wealth gap that has just been allowed to increase unimpeded. Those voters don’t want fascism - they’re just dumb AF and don’t pay attention. They just voted for “change.”

These problems will only increase over the next 4 years, so there will be another opportunity defy the status quo in 2028. We had a chance and failed to do in 2016. We came closer in 2020. We didn’t have a real primary in 2024. When we get to 2028, it’s time to fucking do it.

True, but I still want to see the poop numbers just to be sure.

The Apple dongle is very good and very cheap. YMMV on Android - it should be fine but I recall seeing some complaints a while back. Don’t remember what the issue was.

You can see its DAC measurements here: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/review-apple-vs-google-usb-c-headphone-adapters.5541/

It’s often recommended as an entry-level DAC for audiophiles who want to focus their budget on amps and speakers when starting out. It’s transparent and there’s no need for any reasonable human to ever replace it, as far as sound quality goes. Build quality and connections are its limitations.

My PC has an Aorus Master x570 MOBO with “high end” (above average) onboard sound, and the $9 plug-and-play Apple dongle was a noticeable improvement. Almost every external DAC will beat onboard PC sound, but this thing is silly. It’s worth a try - return it if there’s any compatibility issue, or keep it handy for other uses, but I imagine any bugs are resolved at this point.

In the old tale, the stepsisters mutilated their feet to try to fit in the slipper. What’ll they come up with this time?

I finally watched Andor. I watched the first episode a few months back and wasn’t into it at the time. This week I rewatched it and finished the season in 3 days. It’s so good.

My wife had the idea to watch Evil together. It’s weird and often awkward and cheesy, but I can’t stop watching it. I know she regrets what she started. No quitting allowed though. Three more seasons to go.

Dave Ramsey is typical right-wing evangelical cult leader, but instead of dipping directly into religion, he is a conservative financial coach. He’s the human manifestation of “stop eating avocado toast” and “get a third job.” He has fired employees for being gay, being pregnant, being non-Christian, and for having premarital sex. He forced his employees to remain in office during the pandemic.

So it should be no surprise that his advice involves becoming a selfish, heartless jackass. He wants his working class followers to be good boot lickers who are self-sufficient and satisfied with their economic ceiling, and not believe in the potential for progress that would benefit society but may be detrimental to grifters like himself. That means his followers need every one of their hard-earned pennies to pay their bills and grow their nest egg, rather than waste any bits on generosity or compassion.

TLDR: If you’re poor and you support mom, you might become too poor to perceive success from Ramsey’s advice. That’s what it comes down to. Fuck him.

I thought maybe this would be about the cheap disposable products and massive amount of waste these companies produce, but nope - it’s just the wrong pollution.

We need to create massive amounts of cheap disposable American products and send massive amounts of American waste to our landfills.

Best we can do is ignore everything while random judges give themselves power to override the FDA whenever it causes inconvenience to corporations.

Same. It happens occasionally on a post here and there, but it really only seems like a widespread “problem” today. I’m using Voyager on iOS. Sometimes images are slow to load, or seem to not load at all.

Weirdly, I also saw one NSFW image load in and display for a second before being blurred. I assume that normally doesn’t happen because they load and blur before I scroll near them.

It feels more like a lag/slowness issue to me.
