Have you been to the south?

If not, you’re just being a bigot yourself trying to scapegoat us to make yourself feel superior.

It’s absolutely fucking outrageous that it wasn’t unanimous. If everything else hasn’t been enough to convince you that half the court is anti-American traitors, this should.

Sure, nobody in any other part of the country can possibly be bigots and y’all are completely innocent in all this. 👍

for things that really aren’t that big a deal (like Linux vs windows)

LOL, Linux vs. Windows flame wars are literally as old as the World Wide Web, and UNIX vs. DOS flame wars are even older than that. Welcome to traditional Internet culture, undiluted by normies.

(Also, I would argue that copyleft Free Software vs. proprietary software riddled with spying, ads, and other user-hostile dark patterns is a way bigger deal than you’re giving it credit for, but that’s a topic for a different thread.)

Because I don’t think you’re allowed to be a Senator and the President at the same time. Although I can’t remember which part of the Constitution says that, so maybe it’s one of those things that’s a norm instead of a rule?

The point is, this didn’t happen because the Democrats made a mistake. This happened because the Democrats knew exactly what they were doing and did it on purpose.

How much more braking force beyond locking up the wheel and doing an endo do you think you need?

The cantilever rim brakes on my old acoustic utility bike are perfectly capable of locking up the wheels, and they almost certainly dissipate heat/resist fade better than the disk brakes on my e-bike do. The only actual advantages of discs are when you’re riding a mountain or cyclocross bike in muddy conditions or if you’ve got fancy carbon rims that you don’t want to be a wear surface; otherwise, there’s nothing wrong with rim brakes.

Also, trying to change the disc brake pads without removing the wheel can be tricky due to the tight fit, and removing the rear wheel of an e-bike with a hub motor so the rotor isn’t in the way is even more of a pain in the ass.

“They” keep trying to sell us disc brakes as being better, but I believe it at little bit less every time I have to change the pads on those hateful fuckers. Frankly, at this point I want my damn rim brakes back!

Like when I give my landlord money he has to jump through all sorts hoops like “make sure my apartment is habitable”

I don’t think that really helps explain anything to psychopaths like DeSantis, TBH. He’d be more like “WTF are you talking about, you pay your landlord because he’s entitled to it and you get whatever shithole conditions he deigns to provide.”

You got the meme backwards.

From the actual commentary ( https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMsb2506929 ):

Over the past two seasons, uptake of the annual Covid-19 booster has been poor, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Less than 25% of Americans received boosters each year, ranging from less than 10% of children younger than 12 years of age in the 2024–2025 season to 50% of adults over 75 years old.4 Even health care workers remain hesitant, with less than one third participating in the 2023–2024 fall booster program.5 There may even be a ripple effect: public trust in vaccination in general has declined,6 resulting in a reluctance to vaccinate that is affecting even vital immunization programs such as that for measles–mumps–rubella (MMR) vaccination, which has been clearly established as safe and highly effective. In recent years, reduced MMR vaccination rates have been a growing concern and have contributed to serious illness and deaths from measles. Against this context, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeks to provide guidance and foster evidence generation.

Absolutely fucking bullshit spin, trying to redefine “poor” and scapegoat the vaccines themselves for the anti-vaxxers’ disinformation.

Or put another way, it’s time for the non-fascist party to realign ideologically as part of the Seventh Party Era

This is not a “how do I be polite” situation. This is a “how do I cover my ass legally” situation. Mistake it for the former at your peril.

It’s always, always projection.

I’m one of the lucky ones who managed to buy a house, but fuck me for being about to try to get a HELOC so I can do some maintenance on it.

It should, but it won’t. Even without checking, there’s a 0% chance the Waltons and Wal-Mart’s upper management aren’t MAGAs. They’re not gonna eat the tariffs, but they’re not gonna throw Trump under the bus any more than they have to either.
