No one on-board the Wings of Zion is innocent.

For the rest of the country/world, when you read of someone’s education realize that if it is from Texas, it isn’t real. Move on to next candidate from somewhere that has an education system not a religious indoctrination system.

What an ignorant take. You sound like someone who definitely understands higher education and the workings of modern universities. Fortunately most of Texas isn't as ignorant as you, tough i admit you could give some people in specific universities a run for their money. Luckily you have no influence anywhere and the worlds is better off for it.

tl;dr you are trash.

Electoralism is not a path for socialist change. That said they may be able to improve certain aspects of our current shit show so I support them. Of course they can only improve anything electorally because of fusion voting which most states do not allow.

The usability of "smart" TVs is garbage. They arne't very powerful computers so if you are going to sacrifice privacy by using streaming, you should do it with a better streaming device. There is no reason a TV needs to connect to the internet. There is nothing that needs to be updated.

Constitutional Convention, it's been 200+ years, it's time.

Sure but if the purpose of the dump is musical archive, then the music should be stored in an archival format, not a lossy one.

What use is the metadata? Or is that stuff like the album covers etc?

I'm also a bit concerned about this:

Second, there's an obsession with audiophile-grade quality (lossless FLAC, etc.) that inflates file sizes, making it impossible to maintain a complete archive of all music ever produced.

Does that mean that this spotify dump is a bunch of 64kbs mp3s, or worse some kind of lossy spotify transcode?

It's something to be aware of if you are trying to record/send images in secret. But it's not a problem if you are passing on an image you found somewhere else. You leave no trace if you are just passing the image, so the image itself is of no concern privacy-wise.

Where do I vote against genocide or for healthcare? Or hell I just don't want to support billionaires, where do I vote for that?

Depends on who your initial investors are and the contract you signed with them. They can and will force a sale if their RoI isn't met in a specific time-frame, or if the buyout price reaches a certain valuation.

Well the UK doesn't have free speech, nor does it oppose genocide. So yet another common American Win there.

And yet Obama couldn't even do that even though he campaigned on doing it.

 

The idea of "student loan forgiveness for entrepreneurs" is something I noticed 10 years ago during Hillary Clinton's uninspired campaign for president, even before Trump entered the arena as a serious candidate.

Looking at a few search-engine hits filtered for only 2015, and I see the following article. There are a few other derivative articles with same idea.

https://www.nbcnews.com/better/careers/helping-millennial-entrepreneurs-conquer-student-loan-debt-n408636

But basically the idea of this group of young "entrepreneurs" who were saddled by student loans deserved special government attention. Especially from the Clinton campaign.

Kind of weird, but they had a campaign full of weird shit, like Russian Drone submarines, or a no-fly zone over Syria, or the declaration that universal health-care "will never ever happen."

But then 4 years later after Clinton was humiliated, we have her heir-apparent Kamala Harris talking about the same oddly specific policy: "According to her plan, Harris intends to give student loan debt forgiveness to Pell grant recipients who successfully open businesses in underserved communities and operate those businesses for three years."

https://psmag.com/news/kamala-harris-student-debt-forgiveness-plan-part-of-proposal-to-support-black-entrepreneurs/

And now it's 4 years later, and we have a very old representative of New York City, Nydia Velázquez introducing the same policy!

https://democrats-smallbusiness.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=4769

Who the fuck is pushing this policy? Who is it for? Why are Democratic Politicians so fixated on this fucking worthless extremely narrowly targeted policy? It's been 10 years, and this policy keeps coming back almost as a slogan. Why?!

 

Garbage Island full of garbage people thinks cars prevent sexual assaults.

 

A pretty standard pro-environmental piece, however I do appreciate how it calls out the "German Green Party," which is obviously just an astro-turfed political party funded by the coal industry.

And of course the criticism of about the farce of Carbon Capture is spot-on.

 

A growing number of Senate Democrats appear open to making it harder for migrants to seek asylum in order to secure Republican support for aiding Ukraine and Israel.

This is what the democrats stand for. Unlimited funding for the MIC and border-control, but social issues are not a priority.

Stop voting for the parties of Capital.
