I am happy to pay it so long as I have any sort of expectation that I will see a return from it.

It is becoming increasingly clear to working Americans that we will never see a dollar back out of the Social Security program when it comes time for us to need it.

Yes, actually. I know Kagi in particular has a fediverse "lens" that filters results to things found here. Unsure if anyone else has implemented that yet, or how deeply it scrapes fedi for results, but it's there.

Regardless everything that is posted here is publicly visible so any search engine that wanted to could scrape results from here.

Because they're still literally not doing their jobs.

As an example, let's say I flip burgers for a living. You come in to my restaurant and order a cheeseburger. I then proceed to slap a hunk of raw ground beef and a slice of cheese down right on the counter in front of you. That'll be $8.50, pay up.

You aren't going to say "that's progress!" you're going to say "that's not a fucking cheeseburger".

Same here. Yeah, it is progress forward from the literal nothing that they were doing before. It still is not satisfactory progress that satisfies the basic job requirements of their chosen career.

On our left hand we have a party who, while generally spineless in the face of opposition, at least understands the general principles of governance and has an interest in continuing the lifespan of the country.

On our right hand we have a party aggressively campaigning that they should be allowed to shoot you in the face. Yes, you, personally.

I hope you have the day you vote for.

Going to start wearing one of these full time so all video evidence becomes inadmissible

Boy I hope you really, really enjoy debilitating security holes if you're using GPT to write your backend JS

Yeah... it was. Like, beat for beat almost exactly. I don't get your point.

I didn't watch the second one. The first one was real pretty, but I couldn't get over how transparently the story was just copying Pocahontas.

Most art is inspired by other art but most good artists have the presence of mind to at least obfuscate it a little bit.

My friend (who is an engineer) pointed me at this a few years ago and I've been pleased with it.

Potato potato, they're both land boats built like a three legged rhinoceros with the worst front sight lines I've ever seen.

Yes, and that's also a significant problem and should be illegal.
