That's what I was thinking. Boy's got a brain as smooth as a river stone, and somehow that's lost its point?

Yes, however in this case, actual objective reality seems to support the idea that there is no evidence for a Biden impeachment instead of the made up alternate reality those conservatives were living in.

Being around other people is a good thing. I also have this somewhat egotistical view that I’m a pretty good leader. I will probably be in charge, or at least not a slave, when push comes to shove.

Well, at least he's right about the ego thing. He's going to get traded for a handful of batteries within the first week lol.

Basically, “it’s not good for your happiness nor your ability to be open to new ideas. It’s also bad for society, so maybe we need to rethink this”

Ah yes fresh ideas like "we should have a treasonous rapist for president" or "maybe the party that doesn't believe women are real people is for me" or "as a non-white cis male, maybe I have too many rights."

If it were 20 years ago, maybe this piece would make a little sense, but republicans are full mask off now. I don't know that I would call it bullying, but I would call a piece that unironically suggests women (or anyone) engage with these people incredibly naive at best, and in 2023, just downright stupid.

I think this is the difference between private/public companies. They don't have to deal with the "growth at all costs" mindset that plague public companies.

Doesn't this just mean Newsom appoints a replacement to finish her term and then they can get back to confirmation process? I seem to recall that was the reason so many called for her to resign, she was holding things up because she was too ill to sit for the confirmation process.

... and even then, even if it's just about economics, woefully fucking wrong. You can look at just about every economic measure under Dems vs Repubs and the outcomes are starkly different. The way they spend money is also starkly different, though at least on this front I would grant that compared to many countries, we don't have a full-left party, but still wouldn't call them conservative by any stretch.

tbh equivocating the two parties in 2023 after watching from birtherism to a full fucking attempt at a coup by republicans is very iq-like-lukewarm-pea-soup take.

lotta people are going to be real mad about their upvotes when op follows up with "...and that's why Lauren Boebert is great" or whatever.

AOC dancing in college, Vivek Ramaswamy rapping to Eminem like 2 weeks ago.

I reject the entire premise. There are a ton ton ton of jobs that are way easier to deal with than working in fast food or retail. The "marketable skill" trope is just more classist bullshit so you can focus on the guy barely squeaking by instead of the record corporate profits and massive CEO compensation. I would be willing to bet actual dollars that anyone complaining about these folks making too much money wouldn't last a single shift.

Also, we're talking about fucking California. Even in the low-cost areas of CA, $20/hr still means roommates and ramen.

Probably should have posted a pic with a good wheel.

Firestick's are just re-skinned android, which itself is a linux distro very basically. It's not extremely difficult to get a working terminal that can install languages and packages like a normal linux distro. I think they even have OOTB support for keyboards/mice. That said, it's a lot funnier to picture them sitting there with the remote like it's super smash.
