Videos basically explains it. There are lots of people making devices, but with cassettes, the deck core mechanism is basically the same simple spec that Chinese manufacturers have knocked off.

Sidebar rule 3: Don’t be a jerk. You’re on time out.

Everyone in Trump’s orbit is there because they’re either too stupid to realize they’re stupid, or because they’re selfish and power hungry.

I’ll be shocked if these people don’t end up eating each other.

Exactly. It’s vulnerable to the same thing American styles democracy is vulnerable to.

The UK’s government hasn’t exactly been “stable” over the past decade.

Unfortunately, I’m also being forced to buy it, even though I didn’t break it.

I wonder how many of these people are just now realizing that they have immediate family and friends who won’t be here next Christmas.

But Lemmy told me Gen Z was going to save us all this election.

The Dems did not control both the WH and the Senate when RGB died. They do now - for another 7 weeks.

They’d need to do what they do before bringing a bill to the floor. Make sure that they have the votes ahead of time.

If you get one of those two people bought in on a particular justice candidate, then you could tell the current sitting Justice “it’s safe,” and you could fast-track the new person.

That said, there is still risk of someone having a change of heart at the last minute.

IMHO, it’s only worth doing if the independents who caucus with the Dems can be brought onboard with a replacement proactively before she resigns.

If you can’t get the Manchins of the world to proactively back a specific fast-tracked replacement, don’t even try.

Isn’t the argument that a younger replacement would be fast tracked now, while the Dems had the whitehouse and the senate?

The left obviously doesn’t want to leave a vacant seat for Trump. The point is to lock the seat down even harder.

Cake? To have AND eat?

But when you look at what people said in the exit poll interviews, most were not voting for fascism when they voted for Trump. They were voting on the illusion that he would be better for their pocket book.

In exit polls, people actually hated Trump and his extremism significantly more, but they’re hurting so much financially that they were willing to roll the dice on his “I’ll take you back to 2017-19” bullshit.

He go in the same way other strongmen often get into power, claims of economic populism.

It’s your right to point fingers and blame people, but if you want to get them to vote and bring them over to your side, that is historically not been the best motivator.

They told you exactly what they are planning to do.

Which is why half of the country voted against Trump, and why a lot of the other half voted for Trump. He told us exactly what he was planning to do.

A lot of people are going to die because of this conspiracy theorist.

I think of someone very close to me who takes mediation for depression, medication that RFK thinks is bullshit, and medication that is regulated by the FDA.

She got a bad batch of something from a generic supplier and became dangerously suicidal. We were able to report this to the FDA and send them the medication so people wouldn’t die.

I can’t see how less staffing is going to make things better. We need more people on the ground so inspections are more regular and so deadly manufacturing problems are caught early.

There are concepts of a plan

Many in the community recently asked us to start removing political videos, and we put it up for a vote a few weeks ago.

We’ll leave this up since it’s a fake candidate and basically just a skit about a man with a silly name. But anything regarding public policy, foreign policy, or a real politician should likely go to the new political videos community.

Ideally we could solve this problem with tags and filtering, but lemmy just isn’t there yet, and this is what the regulars in c/videos have repeatedly asked for.

The big box store bulbs suck. Pay more for Phillips bulbs.
