Political ad ignites conservative anger over women possibly hiding their votes from their husbands
  • Depends upon how extreme the differences are. Arnold Schwarzenegger - who's a moderate Republican (thankfully supporting Harris) - was married to Maria Shriver from the infamously Democrat-heavy Kennedy family for well over a quarter century. Bill Clinton's (in)famous campaign adviser, James Carville, had been married to a well known Republican counterpart (Mary Matalin) since the early '90s.

    Twitch sucks!
  • TBF, that's not a very good litmus test since anyone protesting the Palestinian genocide has been accused of the same, which we all know is utter bullshit.

    Gen Z commit to ‘canceling out’ their MAGA parents votes in new TikTok trend
  • If it helps, this Gen Xer (i.e. "me") is offsetting their remaining parent's vote. We were told growing up how decent we should be, yet when we actually took that to heart and did that our parents went off the reservation and lost their minds. There are a LOT of fractured families thanks to Trump & Faux Snuz, and I hope we can make the future worth all the trouble they've caused.

    Gen Z commit to ‘canceling out’ their MAGA parents votes in new TikTok trend
  • It'll never count if you don't even give it a chance. There have been a good number of examples where winners were determined by just a few hundred votes out of millions. There's no harm in trying to support the future you want, so even if you don't think it'll matter go vote anyway - you never know...

    Google starts selling refurbished Pixel phones
  • They're still way overpriced - especially considering they don't get the several years of extended support that the later models do. I lucked out and caught Mint Mobile clearing out their Pixel 7 Pro for $99 at the end of last year. The fingerprint reader is a serious PITA, so I'm still using my old phone as my daily driver. The P7P camera is fantastic, so I keep it around for that and as a test bed, but that's about it.

    I wouldn't pay more than roughly $300 (maybe $400, tops) at this point - and then only if I didn't care too much about the fingerprint sensor. With the much shorter support frame, I don't see how Google thinks it's worth so much more now.

    What's the most futuristic piece of tech you can buy for under $100?
  • Official "support" just means the biggest size they tested. The current SDXC standard has supported up to 2TB since the standard was released. Any device supporting SDXC should work just fine with a 2TB card even if they don't specify it as officially supported (assuming they didn't deliberately nerf their driver for some unfathomable reason).

    Does giving up on yourself require giving up on everyone else?
  • You can change your situation all you like, but it's not going to change who you are (especially as this big brother world enabled by technology makes it virtually impossible to escape your past). If you've reached a point where you have virtually nothing left to motivate you to move forward (especially if it has been that way for a long time), then the significant effort it would take to try to save you is unlikely to be worth it (never mind finding anyone who would actually care enough to devote themselves to such a task) - particularly with an outcome that is FAR from certain to be a positive one.

    Some people just reach a point of being basically devoid of hope, and therefore pretty much dead inside.

    Don't ask me how I know.

    What's a great buy it once Android app?
  • As a backup option, you can give Google Assistant or a Google Home the following commands: "at 10PM, sleep {lightname}" to dim, or "at 6AM, wake {lightname}" to brighten - both work over the space of a half-hour, and for some odd reason that's not customizable.

    What's a great buy it once Android app?
  • There's a completely free app (no ads, either) that prevents auto-rotate from actually happening unless you want it to. It pops up an icon when your phone wants to rotate, and it you don't tap it within the timeout (adjustable up to 3 seconds) then the icon goes away and the rotation never happens. It's highly customizable, and I just can't live without it since I found it.

  • www.theverge.com Violent threats against FEMA swirl on social media

    It “poses a credible risk to public safety,” report says.

    > People are calling for violence against FEMA on TikTok and X, new reports say.

    I seriously don't understand why these people aren't immediately tracked down and arrested for terroristic threats. This BS is way beyond any reasonable "free speech" limit.
