We need this badly

For me the reason I like to use streaming services is as a way to find new music that I otherwise would never be exposed to.

Voted in Ohio today. Excited to see the results!

That was an intense game!

I've always been partial to Guinness

There's a huge number of people out there who are fed up with both parties and see those parties as equally (or near enough) bad. He's appealing to those who dislike Trump and Biden. Don't underestimate his ability to play spoiler to one of them.

If they chose not to participate, wouldn't that mean they would not be covered by Medicare at all?

Every time they do this I think people will get wise to it and stop voting them in, but here we are again

Stepping down as chairman doesn't mean he won't be consulted on how to run the business.

Ya maybe new instance of defamation.

That was funny but ultimately probably irrelevant to the case except as it relates to giving a view into Lindell's insanity.

Yep, this is exactly the reaction of a cornered narcissist. The lawsuit, the deposition, the judge, the lawyer, they are all threatening the illusion that Mike is a great patriot CEO entrepreneur saving this country. The response is a deep, primal rage that he's only barely containing.

We don't sentence & punish people based on their politics. That way leads only to crazy fascism.

No one deserves to be raped and murdered in prison. The justice system is far from perfect but we don't sentence people to be raped and then murdered. We do rarely sentence people to death, but not by vigilante shanking or beating.

I think most people understand it, but even referring to it as a type of "porn" normalizes it to some extent.

The politically correct term CSAM is to differentiate it from ordinary porn which is legal and at least somewhat socially acceptable and ensure that people understand that when children are involved, it is always abusive. The terms mean the same thing, but being precise with language is important.

Porn is a legal thing that normal people enjoy. The term CSAM takes a stance that it is always abuse. I think they are basically interchangeable but CSAM is the currently preferred term.

What would you say is the difference? I feel like the terms are interchangeable. The comment you replied to didn't give the exact abbreviation but it gave the essence of what is meant by the picture.

I think the tribalism you describe is part of the explanation. Trump isn't just a member of their tribe, he's the strongman leader of it. They would make him their king because he wants to restore the old white Christian patriarchy. Threats to Trump are threats to that mission. This is what they mean by MAGA.

I thought Microsoft was the one requiring feature parity. It sounds like the real story is MS caving.
