I went to the one in my small city in SC. Had a few hundred people along a decently busy road. I was pleasantly surprised as hundreds of passing cars showed support over the 2 hours we were there, and only a dozen or so expressed opposition. I was not surprised that a majority of passers-by didn’t engage at all though. The real majority in this country is not left or right, it’s apathy.
A big part of the problem is that plenty of Republicans would answer some or all of your pointed questions with an unironic “yes.”
Easy. He’ll just keep having more kids.
Sounds like you’ve got executive level potential.
If I may abuse a metaphor, the money they are getting now is the bird in the hand, and the money they could be getting from a enthusiastically supportive base is the two birds in the bush. Why chase what they might get, when they can hold on to what they have? Especially when they consider that letting go of the bird in the hand will cause it to fly straight over to join the birds already in their opponent’s hand.
Now, we might say the bird in the hand is poisonous, and should be discarded regardless, but a look at longtime party leadership makes me think they know, and they don’t care. Those people haven’t cared for a long time, if they ever did. As long as the likes of Pelosi can keep their own seat, it doesn’t matter how much damage is done to the country, they can keep enriching themselves while claiming to care.
Or, at least that’s what it looks like from where I’m standing.
It’s not meant to be taken literally, but as a blatant hyperbole. The joke is referencing the fact that 2 ply toilet paper is notably softer than 1 ply toilet paper, and extrapolating that to the fictitious extreme of 10 ply toilet paper which, if possible, would be unbelievably soft. It’s from the show Letterkenny, as are a bunch of the other things people are commenting in response.
There was an anonymous statement by an employee that SpaceX basically has a small department whose entire purpose was to keep Musk distracted from anything important whenever he would get involved with “running” the company. Pretty sure the article I read that in said that they confirmed the employee’s identity and it would explain a lot about their surprisingly successful work.
Not at all. He’d still do the evil stuff that benefits him personally, or that he does out of spite, or that he does because it riles up his supporters. Honestly, he’d probably still do some things to benefit Putin for free too, just to help out someone he admires. Still, I think he’d do less (or at least different) evil stuff if no one had been willing to buy him.
What would be notably different, I think, would be the amount of “disrespect” he puts up with from his buyers. Elon hasn’t once been publicly deferential to Trump, when everyone else he’s working with has to toe the line very carefully or get fired
Oh yeah, I didn’t mention it, but I 100% agree it’s bullshit. They want to be able to track you better, and make it easier to convince you to subscribe to 360. Their bullshit keeps me employed, but I’d rather my job wasn’t needed and do something different if it meant M$ was bullshit free. That’ll never happen though, it would be less profitable for them.
Finally got a chance to watch this video. I don’t know enough about how Windows works to have found the exploits they did, but I do know it well enough to understand what they did and found it hilarious. It’s more practical to actually get out of S mode, but making everything run despite still being in S mode was a good laugh.
Yeah, it’s technically already home version, just in a special mode, and it’s trivial to switch out of if you don’t mind connecting your Microsoft account to the computer. Just log into the Microsoft Store and “install” the switch out of s mode “app”. It’s a bit of a pain to get rid of it without adding an account, so if you want to do that, it’s really easier to just do a fresh load that will automatically pick up the home edition license the laptop already has. Why not just use a disposable account just for switching laptops out of s mode? We tried doing that, but Microsoft locked the account after we’d logged it in and out of a dozen odd computers. Now we just use the customer’s own account if they have one (and actually know their password), or reload Windows if they don’t. You’d be amazed at the number of people buying cheapo S mode laptops and then being surprised when they can’t load some other software they really need. (Or maybe you wouldn’t be amazed if you’ve worked with the public before. Point is, a lot of people do this.)
Well, it’s always pre installed on the cheapest laptops. Yeah, there are ways around it still, but it’s not quite as easy as the old bypassnro.
Because it was really cheap and they didn’t know the difference is the usual reason I encounter.
As long as it’s not in S mode. Can’t run cmd in S mode.
Yeah, bet she’s feeling really loved right now.
I give it 24 hours, give or take, for Senator Spineless to remember who his masters are and publicly backtrack on this comment. It’s weirdly not rare for him to say something good and sensible like this, but it’s unheard of for him to not quickly denounce such statements in favor of the party line.
If the government can disappear one person without due process, then they can disappear any person without due process.
