I think Republicans are also generally disengaged. That's what enables them to vote for so much monstrous garbage; they don't pay enough attention to know what they're voting for. There are also plenty of true believers who really are christian nationalists, but for most people, if they follow the policy positions, they'd be Democrats.
So when it comes to the number of people watching a convention, the DNC sorta naturally attracts more people since the base is paying more attention.
Yeah, sure, it's a gateway in that it stops people from going any further. It's the absence of legal weed that makes people look for alternatives to get high!
I was really hoping the "get a divorce" culture was something that would have stayed with reddit
What difference does an airtight case make when you have a litany of judges, all the way up to the supreme court, that will happily twist the law to rule in your favor?
That's the real reason why he compares it to abortion. To trivialize it. To make the word meaningless.
Everything is free speech. Everyone is Hitler. Every action is treason. And so people stop paying attention to real warnings.
Have you tried different distros? Some hardware is supported better by different forks. I myself have an odd situation with an old laptop that got weird Bluetooth audio issues on stock Ubuntu, but having swapped it over to mint (which is supposedly just Ubuntu under the hood!) it works flawlessly.
In the absence of any other visible political opinions I dunno what else we're supposed to attribute to him
On the other hand, it can achieve the exact same thing for people who belong to an irl community that insists on being wrong, allowing them to find better information and a group to validate it. That's certainly the vision people had of the internet back in the 90s. Too bad it hasn't been anywhere near as ubiquitously a force of fact-checking as they envisioned back then, but I'd be willing to bet it's been a stronger positive force than negative.
Ah yes, the dual force-a-natures, a highly sought after product of mannco
Agreed. High res is not the same thing as good graphics. The Halo 1 remaster is another great example of that; the og graphics look SO much better
Just 3 days ago I had to use the control panel to access the settings I needed to get my parents' printer to work right. Even tried to use the regular settings menu for maybe 10 minutes before remembering how to access the settings I needed. Here's hoping my parents never run into printer issues again (lol).
FUCK YOU, MICROSOFT!
