I hate to say it but everything is fucking political now. Yes it sucks that it's tied to your identity but identity politics scores super easy points with conservatives because it's so much easier to point out vs the massive wealth disparities between people like Musk and you and me.

That made me true but let's not ignore the huge profit motive for Kodak to keep people on film. That was their money maker.

They had an incentive to keep that technology out of the consumer market.

It's a bit of a long story and probably would reveal a bit more than I'm comfortable with.

TL;DL: I started to realize that the Christians I was hanging around didn't actually care about the political issues they said they did.

2016 was the first election where I didn't vote Republican. 2018 was the first election I voted Democrat down the line. 2020 was the first election I donated, supported, and campaigned for a democratic candidate (Bernie).

Because front line Republicans are just parroting what they heard from their leaders.

The problem is that you're not the one deciding what drug to prescribe. The government is.

And even if you were, shouldn't the decision on "where to draw the line" be made by the parent, the child, and their doctor?

We can have all the philosophical conversations you want but we have people who are being affected by this right now.

Consent doesn't matter to rich people. It's not exclusive to Musk.

We the people might need a president that can come to work everyday.

Conservatives need a monkey that will rubber stamp anything they put in front of him.

Two different requirements

Better the first date than 6 months in.

Part of the problem is that the government is all for this, especially law enforcement.

Iirc the bar is much lower to get a subpoena for data on someone versus getting a warrant for that same person.

This is why privacy is so important. It's not just ads you need to worry about.

The problem is reprisal of whatever family the deserting solder has at home.

The amount of control that the North Korean government has over the lives of everyday citizens is something that Trump and the alt right masturbate to.
