  • That’s cool because Trump stance was even more extreme, but since he’s saying insane things every minute, no one batted an eye. But Harris had to be perfect. How do you even reconcile what you say with the reality you have in front of you.

    Trump said in no uncertain terms that he would back Israel, he’s confirming it today and you still spout that “both sides” inane shit.

    What more do you need to admit that your point is bullshit.

    With Harris, there was a sliver of hope that there could be change and with Trump it was sure that Israel would do whatever it wanted. You look at that shitty situation all around, and you still think Harris was the worst choice versus the openly fascist dictator?

    There is no sane universe where you can defend that point of view, yet here we are.

    Palestine is fucked, good luck Ukraine, and fuck any American that isn’t white, Christian and straight I guess. But hey, both sides, right?


  • So then enlighten us on what the right choice was in that context if you have answers to everything.

    This isn’t a fucking movie where one heroic group of people overturn a full government.

    The genocide is happening regardless of who got elected. But now, there is absolutely no chance that the genocide ends. At least with Harris, there was a sliver of hope.

    Gaza will be glassed now a 100%, and become a new beach front for Israel.

    Good luck Ukraine, I hope that Europe steps up, because the Russian asset now has the control of the 3 branches.

    And good luck Americans, because for the vast majority of you, life is about to get a lot worst.

    But hey, at least you get to keep your fucking smug attitude of living in unicorn land. I mean, the guy openly said he would be a dictator on day 1, but somehow, Harris had to be fucking impeccable, otherwise, schmucks like would come out of the woodworks to spout your fucking “both sides are the same” rhetoric.



  • I’d say Republicans are good at saying thing that appeal to human emotions, not talking.

    To hell if they really go through what they promise. And they will take credit for things they have no parts in because it riles up their base.

    I mean, what was Trump platform exactly? The concept of a plan. Same as Doug Ford.

    Still, they were elected.

    At this point, the Democrats saving grace would be to go more left and proposing actual progressive programs and ditch the status quo. But the brass of the DNC don’t have the interest of the people first.

    I disagree that the left is bad at talking, it’s the North American culture that sucks at dealing with confrontation and dealing with things they disagree with. Any once of heated debate is too much and is seen as a big conflict instead of a healthy thing. So instead, any disagreement is automatically brought to the extreme because it is taken personally.

    Anyways, this is a complex subject and there are many things that needs to be done differently.






  • The direction that the company is taking. Clearly that Bitwarden feels like other open source projects are diverting revenue from them.

    That’s a small step towards enshittification. They close this part of the software, then another part until slowly it is closed source.

    We’ve seen this move over and over.

    Stopping your business with Bitwarden over that issue sends a message that many customers don’t find this acceptable. If enough people stop using their service, they have a chance to backtrack. But even then, if they’ve done it once, they’ll try it again.

    Your current price is 10$/year now. But the moment a company tries to cull any open source of their project is the moment they try to cash it in.


  • The analgesics today are really good, so you won’t feel much, just pressure as the dentist drills through the roots.

    Otherwise, tell your dentist if you feel anxious or afraid, they are pretty used to that and will generally try to make you comfortable.

    Afterward, your gum will be a bit sensitive, but your tooth won’t hurt since you don’t have nerves endings anymore.

    You got this.






  • The tenants literally pay the taxes, insurance and maintenance in their rent payment. When any of these inflates, so does the rent unless there are protections in place.

    So being a landlord means someone else pays the mortgage for your unit.

    The only thing that could be seen as a service are short term rental, and even then, it was abused to death by the AirBnB/VRBO and any other short term rental service.

    Rent seeking is the most capitalistic thing someone can do : you use your money to get someone else to pay your rent. You do the minimal maintenance that you can get away with, and when you actually do real maintenance, your tenants get a rent hike.

    If there weren’t any landlord, there would still be housing. But a lot more people would own the place they live in, at a reasonable price, instead of housing being used as an investment vehicule.
