  • Don’t remember ever seeing one of the hats in person, but that could be due to moatly avoiding that type of person or setting where they would be worn.

    The stupid flags were fucking everywhere from 2016 through 2021. Saw a few flags this year, but not nearly as many as apparently the novelty wore off even though most people in the state voted for that jackass again because Americans don’t ever learn from their mistakes.







  • A crummy history of ads on the internet:

    Starts out mostly used in formal fields and universities. Very usable!

    Businesses get on board and start the horrible ad infestation, leading to scammers and popup hell duw to misuse of a feature.

    Ad blockers start to reign in that shit, and the better browsers kill the popup infestation at the source. Pretty darn usable at this point, except for internet explorer.

    Google, an ad company, decides to make a browser so they can do all the malicious advertising and tracking on the backend.

    uBlock Origin is too effective at blocking the browser based tracking and advertising so google decided to do the manifest 3 or whatever that bullshit is called to openly force ads onto users.

    Based on history, I expect chrome to die a slow death due to the backlash from the manifest crap, but could be wrong since people are apparently fine with ads being forced into streaming services.






  • Context really matters I don’t have an opinion on a lot of sports due to disinterest while other people make their opinions on sports their personality. But there are some things that people should have opinions on even if that opinion is ‘leave it to the experts’.

    Having an opinion that is terrible might be worse than not having an opinion at all. For example, not having an opinion about other races would be better than having racist opinions.

    I think what you are really asking is if people should have opinions about the things that affect them. Yes, they should have opinions about those things.





  • I voted for Harris as a way to vote against Trump and Republicans like I do every fucking election despite Dems constsntly shooting themselves in the foot every election where Obama didn’t run. You know, the two elections where they promoted actual hope and progressive change instead of pandering to the fucking centrists and did extremely well and the only time I actually wanted them to win.

    Of course the Republicans obstructed the shit out of that attempt at change and the country learned nothing.



  • Republicans pull in a consistent number of votes every election because they have the hateful moron brigade as a consistent voting bloc. Dems win when there is higher turnout because they motivate people to show up, and lose when there is lower turnout, but they sure as shit aren’t appealing to the hate brigade.

    Trying to be reasonable and polite with Republicans like Liz Cheney is what took the wind out of the sails of the Harris campaign. They did the fucking appease everyone bland bullshit and lost. That is what you are saying is the right thing to do.
