George Takei's Based Voting Take [Rule}
  • Yay, the Democrats saw a way to get votes and pretended to care. Fuck all the way off with that bullshit. Spend half a century fucking over LGBT people, pander for 20 years, profit.

    "They're better than the fascists they've worked hand in hand with for years" is a pretty weak endorsement.

  • I'm not the one explaining away my support of my side's bigots by saying they're less bigot than the other bigots. But go off.

  • Go look up Biden's long and storied history of voting against LGBT rights and then tell me how he's okay now because something something excuses.

  • George is okay with supporting homophobes and bigots as long as they're his homophobes and bigots.

  • Correction, the collusion between Dems and Republicans makes third party candidacy an impossibility.

  • And who, exactly, has worked together to ensure that there are only two bad choices ever available come election day?

    The Democratic party works with the party they (rightly) call fascist to keep out competition to thier duopolistic rule, even excusing thier own incredibly bigoted recent past.

    Cooperating with the friends of fascism is not a vibe.

  • I'm not disabled, but the whole "people with disabilities don't know what they need" nonsense irritates me.

  • And you could have popped a few words into a search engine before you went straight to "I feel like." Many of your questions have already been answered; why not do thr homework first?

  • Which they can apparently do from the Play Store, too. Thing is, the sort of person who goes seeking out alternatives is generally (though not always) more familiar with tech.

    Regardless, lockdown by design isn't about safety so much as it is about control.

  • I find it interesting that these companies are taking something that was once normal... loading your choice of software onto your thousand plus dollar computer... and pretending that its something new and evil.

    I'd prefer honesty. They want cash and this undermines thier platform near-monopolies.

  • The service doesn't cover most healthcare so you're still stuck with One Medical's bills, which (if reviews on Trustpilot are correct) tend to be higher than traditional medical. They still bill to your insurance if you have it.

    Amazon's Doctor Will See You: What to Know About One Medical
  • I was curious so I looked up reviews of One Medical. Almost universally, people note that they charge well more than average for services, fail to meet thier appointment wait time promises, limit access to doctors, and have terrible customer service that fails to respond timely and often fails to respond at all.

    $99 seems to be a lot of money to pay to be ignored.

    Israel military reportedly surrounding hospitals in Gaza and shooting at those trying to flee, UN says
  • Afghanistan had few resources, so that's not necessarily true. But I do agree that the US only intervenes when it aligns with selfish interests.

    But then, the same is true of every nation on the planet. The US isn't unique in that, it just gets all of the attention.

    Now that cars are like smartphones, we don’t really own them
  • We already have a strong lease market in many places and that works great for many people. The issue for me is not the availability of leasing, but the asssumption that my purchase of a vehicle nonetheless entitles the manufacturer to collect massive amounts of data on my in-car habits without my knowledge, which they can then provide to anyone they damn well please.

    Even leasing, I doubt anyone expects to have thier call logs and texts stored for law enforcement's later use, bug there was a story recently suggesting that some of them are actually doing that.
