At this point that feels like the bigger assumption

This was a long anti-tech rant that somehow neglected to mention what their actual issue was and forced me to dive into the links just to get the necessary context to understand what they were talking about. TLDR: Patreon’s moving over to subscription-only and dropping their per-creation billing system because Apple is forcing them to.

Lindell provided data that turned out to be totally irrelevant to his claims

I suppose as a non American my idea of what the secret service actually is / does may be a little skewed by Hollywood

Isn’t that what regular security is for?

Why would the secret service be guarding an empty plane?

Didja know that the manager admitted it was their fault?

Don’t skip your brains. You see OP? That’s how you end up like OP.

That’s what I’m trying to tell you, it doesn’t come across as an admission, at least to me. I get what you’re trying to say, but that’s not the first impression it conveys

It’s actually pretty vague, since only one of your comments seem to actually acknowledge you having read the article, and none of your comments indicate it changed your opinion (one about you having the capability to be wrong, but I can’t tell whether you’re saying you were wrong in this case, or just a general rhetorical device).

I’m not judging you here, I’m pointing out there might be a huge disconnect between what you think you’ve said and what’s actually coming across that would explain the reception you’re getting.

Just came along. Presumably most people read your 1st comment (which is horrifyingly unempathethic, TBH) and didn’t really follow the rest of the discussion

The guy is a Trump / Musk supporter, he’s half the problem as it is.

While I have criticized Trump in the past, I have also objected to some of the efforts to impeach or convict him on dubious legal theories.

Yeah, those 34 duuuuubious felony convictions!

I’m just gonna drop this here as an example:

The Jerusalem Report (Owned by Jerusalem Post) and the Jerusalem Post

This biased as shit publication is declared by MBFC as VEEEERY slightly center-right. They make almost no mention of the fact that they cherry pick aspects of the Israel war to highlight, provide only the most favorable context imaginable, yadda yadda. By no stretch of the imagination would these publications be considered unbiased as sources, yet according to MBFC they’re near perfect.

His insults are on par with my kid’s playground

Scenario: You’re barefoot on a hot 90C surface that extends as far as the eye can see. Pain, panic, confusion sets in. How long before you gain the clarity of mind to dump your backpack, yank off your shirt and wrap your feet? With no assistance, because nobody else has any idea why you’re screaming in pain.

Yes, your skin could absolutely fall off in that time.

The burns probably happened in seconds.

Editor needs to go back to grammar school. Profane?

Direct quote from the article:

“That being said, I am happy to give up my right to vote as a trade for a significantly better quality of life. It’s cleaner, it’s safer. There’s more opportunity in mobility,” she said.

“There’s no one on this planet who could be that bad of a person that we need to assassinate just to keep them out of the presidency,” Christian said. “How radical the American culture and society is getting in its entirety is making me go, ‘I really need to get out of here.’”

Christian and Salah said they won’t be voting, and Do said she is still learning about the process for voting abroad right now.

“I think American politics is a joke,” Salah said. “I think we’re seeing that no matter which party is in power, no matter which face it is, it’s kind of the same system.”

Oh great, you’ve speedrunned the crazy republican playbook
