I don't know if this is a hot take, but I love that episode. Anytime Star Trek took what is essentially an emotion, gave it form, and interacted with it, I found it fascinating.

Vance is a cuck. He was a harsh critic of Trump until he wasn't.

I don't see how Vance gets Trump any extra votes. They appear to attract the same kind of people.

If they win, it gets Vance out of my state. Which is fine (I voted for Tim Ryan).

It was great before the dot com bubble burst. Even obscure fan websites had paid advertising. Even for a while after, is was great and still usable mostly because corporations hadn't yet figured out how to completely monetize the internet.

Message boards and forums were the extent of online engagement. I miss it.

No, we're not. It's not a coincidence that soon after occupy wallstreet the culture war was cranked up to 11. Gotta give the wealthy and the media credit. They have successfully, and quite easily turned the plebs against each other.

I still have no clue who this guy is, and I'm content with this lack of knowledge.

While I applaud him for wanting to make room for younger politicians, I'm sure the death threats, arson attacks and bullets were greater factors. This world sucks.

Can also confirm. I was the boat.

Even if there are families that "take advantage" (as in, can afford school lunch themselves), so the hell what. It's just food. Maybe spend a fraction less on the federal defense budget and we could buy them all breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Once again Google finds a way to ruin a good thing. With a $150 price difference between the 8a and main 8 series, I have absolutely no reason to purchase the 8a. There was a time when the A series was half the price of the main series.

GPM was my jam. It had simple features that I would later take for granted, like remembering the exact track I left off on, and the number of times I've played a particular track. I only keep YTM because it comes with premium (no ads on YT). The second they separate premium from YTM, I'll drop it.
