They don’t like him as a politician anymore, but can’t admit that he committed crimes because they supported him doing so.

Can someone describe a “proper” rejection for patient care?

Way to go everyone, we kept wages suppressed and still managed to generate more profits off of their labor! Hooray!

During their hearing “I am a changed person. I would never do something like this again”

A year later “I don’t regret what I did, I would do it again, we did nothing wrong, Trump 2024”

I appreciate the reply but I just don’t see why states need different laws. The time period cited for the need was 250 years ago. I guess that is the conservative modus operandi.

I’m just not convinced that Mississippi having different, worse, healthcare laws is better for the people who live there. Mississippi is choosing to shit their pants, but as a country we all share the smell. Conservatives want to sit in their soiled pants, or the smell, and the rest of us will are horrified.

I never understood states rights and how separating our country into 50 different little countries is a good thing. It puts states at odds and forces the US Judicial system into having to decide. Putting the law deciding back into the hands of the federal government.

Isn’t the whole point that if someone doesn’t agree with the laws of the state they reside they can go to a state that does? It would seem needing to find out who gets an abortion or gender-affirming outside of your state is nobody’s worry. Those people are doing the exact thing conservatives want.

Does Mississippi plan on charging people in other states of committing a crime? Is it to make sure a Mississippi resident doesn’t cross a state border? If so, why? What intentions would the state of Mississippi have with this info if not to prosecute?

The best thing about Windows is that if there is something you want to do, either there is a detailed guide online for the specific issue or someone went a step further and created a simple tool to accomplish that task. Windows is stable/reliable/accessible.

To run Linux it would need to be just as easy to install, be as compatible with games as Windows, and not have to involve deep dives into Linux user forums to accomplish basic stuff.

With the main intention of Linux, outside of just not supporting Apple or Microsoft, is to be able to customize your OS experience. I don’t have time/patience/desire to do that. I want my computer to be there ready to open a game launcher and launch that game without issue. That is true about Windows 99.8% of the time, I have not had that same experience with Linux.

The truth is that this overexposure on the internet hasn’t caused much more harm than before social media. Most people, not all, but a majority have zero bad intentions. So sharing details about yourself to a mass audience is screaming in the void. Nobody cared about your life before it was on the internet, nobody cares now. Social media companies selling your data is for a shitty reason but not an unethical one. They just want to sell you stuff and they are salesmen that know everything about you.

On the other side, people who want to do bad things can and will regardless of details about someone on the internet. Stranger danger is a fallacy and the person who can/might victimize you is someone you already know. Sure, maybe it saves time, but it doesn’t really change victimization. People can stalk someone in real life, can steal their mail, can social engineer the people around their victim, it’s just a bit easier when a lot of it can be done by befriending someone on social media.

I played RO back in high school. Haven’t thought about that game in 20 years. I might have to check it out again.

There are people that like new things, there are people who prefer older things. I am willing to spend money on a new phone every 2 years because it is my main computing device. I, also, don’t miss a lot of things of older phones. I never used as SD card, I never replaced a battery, and I haven’t used wired headphones in a decade.

I like my iPhone 14, the LiDAR gives me a ton of cool applications, the camera takes the best photos I’ve ever taken before, it will be kept updated for the next 5 years and the always-on screen is very useful for unlock-free info.

If you trade-in a fairly new phone, you can heavily discount a new phone purchase as well. It’s more like leasing a car vs owning a car. Pay for the time you use the phone, return it while it still has value in the 2nd hand market and get a fresh phone.

On the other hand, my brother sticks his phone in his pocket all day and doesn’t look at it at home. He bought an iPhone SE a few years ago and it just works. He would argue buying a new phone is silly as well. But we use our phones very differently and so our purchase habits will be different.

Yeah. With the licensing and work involved with producing Atmos sound I doubt any of it is more than just PR/marketing.

Dolby: “Look how good Dolby Atmos is, Beyoncé makes her music with the technology!”

My boomer dad uses TIDAL and is convinced that it sounds much better than my YT Music. And it might have higher bits and mor channels, but we aren’t sitting in a home theater. It all sounds the same through nice stereo speakers or, in my case, my headphones.

“What the hell are we going to do without viral scat porn videos?” cries “Up yours woke moralists”

So Hunter has his leaked nudes removed from Twitter. Conservatives saw this as an opportunity to claim a larger coverup. When nothing came to light and Hunter was found guilty of a few other charges they have resorted to literally just posting his leaked nudes.

I’m sorry but if this isn’t just one of the more revealing things about the GOP, I don’t know what is. Make something very normal and done by many people, including members of the GOP, and manipulate the facts to fit a narrative. Push that narrative to the extreme until Fox News reports it as FACT. Hope that wins a few votes in whatever upcoming election. When the initial info is revealed to be bullshit, the plan did its job.

Why post the nudes photos? Because some GOP didn’t get the hint that this was just political propaganda and are following through. The same reason Comet Pizza has been threatened with gun violence.

I did edit to clarify, the criticisms I was mentioning were intended as public criticisms. Which both were true. I can understand how you might have assumed I meant my own personal criticism.

A big reason I use credit cards for payments is the protection I get when things go wrong. Charge up my card and I can dispute, charge up my bank account and I’m out that money until the bank resolves the issue.

This isn’t a scam message. I received the same message a few days ago, different date due to billing cycle differences. This is the same thread that confirms my automatic payment has been received.

There isn’t anything wrong with it, but OP didn’t mention their politics. It is a fair warning for someone asking about an influencer they don’t know much about.

Mr Beast is fine. His content is fine for kids to watch, that is his demo. He demonstrates that doing good things with the money you have is the best thing to do. Mr Beast gets a lot of flack for his videos but as far as online entertainers go, he’s a good one. Are his videos entertaining to me? No. Are they entertaining to millions of others? Yes. Is he a negative influence on children? No. The only real PUBLIC criticism for Mr Beast is he supports LGBTQ people and his video “exploit” medical problems of people.

Edit since it seems people think me mentioning he supports LGBTQ. Criticism for his support for Chris exists in the world. OP didn’t mention their politics, I mentioned the two things Mr Beast has received criticism for in the public space.

Sure sure, AOC taking a selfie like the average person her age is so weird. Let’s not focus on MTG or Bobert or Matt “I sex traffick minors” Gaetz.

I moved most of my daily computing over to a smart phone about a decade ago. I use a computer for work and a computer for gaming, moving the rest of my computing to a phone helps the brain. Reddits app sucked, their site doesn’t work well on mobile and constantly forced to open in the app. Third party was my only option, Apollo.

I’m using Wefwef (really don’t love the name) which is a clone of Apollo for lemmy. It isn’t as feature-rich at the moment but the interface is similar enough to make the transition easy.
