Correction, they care about being protected from their own customers - that’s what this whole national guard in cities thing is about, keeping folks away from the wealthy.

Who could have possibly guessed?

Don’t worry, at least the billionaire parasites and their offspring will survive in their underground shelters!

Ah, yeah, it’s a rare Samsung tablet that has real lineage support these days. The last one I used was the tab S5e and performance vs the S6 was so bad that I pawned it off on a relative within six weeks. I’m using stock OneUI with magisk on my S6 and S9 which means downloading the entire OneUI image from Samsungs update server, decrypting and splitting it, then patching with magisk and kicking it back over to the laptop to flash parts to the device with Odin. It’s a lot more work than updating an AB phone.

Every 2-3 years some fresh exec at Google looks at the iPad market and nurses a semi at the thought of their bonus for eating some of Apple’s lunch. Surprisingly it turns out that you can’t just invent an iPad competitor from scratch in 6-9mo and have it be actually good, who could have guessed. Then it’s time to throw the entire product line out until the next guy comes along and does the same fucking thing.

Samsung is kinda okay as long as you get something like shizuku and use that to enable root management of all of their utter bullshit. That lets you disable a whole heap of intrusive garbage and makes the device actually usable instead of constantly annoying. Rooting gives you even more options but then you have to deal with updating the fucking thing by hand using Odin and a laptop, and God help you if you don’t do it perfectly because it’ll end up needing to be entirely wiped.

Well, yeah, they always do. Republican admins always leave the economy in the shitter and saddle the nation up with debt so that the incoming Democratic admin has to spend all of their time bringing the economy back up to speed rather than implementing effective reform.

Uhhh, so much for the free market Republicans spent decades championing

Obviously the duel wielding rouge

Ah yes, the rural broadband upgrade we’ve paid for since the late 90s is now extraneous. Just go ahead and keep those tens or hundreds of billions, we didn’t need anything in exchange for them anyway.

God I can’t believe how fucking stupid Republican voters are.

Lmao. Seriously though it’s exposure; beef, chicken and pork are the cheapest and most common animal proteins available to pet food manufacturers so they’re in just about everything. If for some reason the animal has an immune response and those proteins are present at the time the immune system can decide that they’re the cause and the animal then develops an allergy or sensitivity to them. With limited ingredient or single protein foods you’re just dodging the proteins most pets are pre-exposed to and feeding them one that doesn’t cause their immune system to think they’re under attack.

One of our cats is so allergic to poultry (chicken, eggs, etc) that he’ll scratch and chew himself bloody if he eats it consistently. We had to switch to rabbit and fish based foods or he was an unhappy creature. Just giving him a cat treat with chicken as an ingredient has him scratching his neck immediately and he’ll have a couple of fresh scabs by the next morning.

Good, now keep them derailed indefinitely

Fair enough, roo protein cat food is about the same cost here as rabbit or venison but I’m assuming they’re all a bit over priced

We pivoted from real activism to bumper stickers and yard signs and campaign donations to candidates who signalled the right wealthy class social virtues in the 90s and haven’t looked back

Sorry, Amazon has billions more free speech tickets than you do

But how would we know if that poster’s a vegan if they didn’t lecture us?

Look into rabbit or kangaroo, depending on where you’re located they could be reasonably priced vs beef. Pets with common protein allergies usually don’t have reactions to those, or venison for that matter.

Real had an office near ours when I worked in SF during the dotcom bubble. We’d walk past their loading dock and the company brand placard at that entrance always had a sheet of paper with BUFFERING written on it thanks to some brilliant motherfucker.

Even if trump choked on a hamberder and expired tomorrow billionaires would find a way to drive his anamatronic corpse to continue playing snake charmer to these idiots. They’re utterly committed to whatever worldview is fed to them via their propaganda fire hose and they’re never, ever, going to admit that the world is a big scary place full of hard problems that don’t have simple comforting solutions like “illegal brown people stealing all the jerbs” or “the tariff button will fix everything, trust me bro.”
