Leaders of 'Uncommitted' and 'Abandon Harris' movements reflect on Trump's victory and early moves
  • ... what makes you think they didn't vote for Kamala? I rolled through their last posts, nothing screams Trump.

    ... do you assume that because they criticized the democrats, they must be some form of evil? Why are you so gung-ho on defending the campaign. It really could've been a vastly better campaign, in so many ways.

    Why are people not allowed to criticize the democratic party for botching this so badly?

    PayPal Honey steals affiliate links and lies about finding the best coupons
  • ... Ok well here's the link to the moment (in the video you watched) where we have one **staff ** member giving an official response to how LTT interpreted the problem in a forum post on their website.

    https://youtu.be/vc4yL3YTwWk?t=811

    And here's a link to their youtube channel where they talk about honey

    https://www.youtube.com/@LinusTechTips/search?query=honey

    You'll notice. There isn't one.

    So for at least two years, they knew honey was stealing affiliate links and considered it a big enough problem to end their partnership, but did not consider it a big enough issue to make a video on it.

  • I think what was truly surprising is that they were bought for 4 billion.That much money for... basically an out and out scam. Paypal is that sure that it's:

    1. entirely legal

    2. Will never be stopped

    3. will return on a 4 billion investment.

    What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? December 24
  • Huge fan of the we are legion, we are bob series right now.

    It's about a guy at a sci-fi convention who signs up for one of those "we freeze you before you die" programs/scams and wakes up as an AI with no rights a few hundred years in the future.

    It really starts going off the rails when he gets sent off to space and given orders to

    Build a space station

    Copy yourself several times

    Send those copies off to build more space stations.

    A growing civilization of yourself and endless space. What can possibly go wrong?

    Alec Baldwin's Rust Case Is Over, Prosecutor Drops Manslaughter Appeal
  • Ordinarily I would agree, but there are a few issues with that.

    For one, he's not just an actor. He's also credited as one of the 13 producers and co-producers. That producer hat does not disappear once the director yells action. That alone should open up a door for all 13 of these guys to get charges applied if they ignored warnings about safety. Not saying it's an open and shut case, hell maybe he's only producer in name for bragging rights and never attended a meeting, it's a valid argument he can make. But I think it definitely opens the door.

    Secondly, the amount of star power he has does give him some power in this film. If people are complaining about safety and he's domineering over people going "Shut up! I need filming done in 3 months so I can move to x film, give me the gun lets go". He's culpable in my eyes. He actively silenced and ignored concerns in that hypothetical and proceeded to roll the dice himself. Again no idea if that happened but it would absolutely open the door for charges.

    The fact that the case is being dropped suggests that maybe they thought they had a case in these two veins, but ultimately couldn't make the argument to a reliable degree.

    [Coffeezilla] The Dark Side of Counter-Strike 2
  • I don't think it's an unreasonable ask either, but from what I understand, Valve is incredibly libertarian, like more than the libertarian party libertarian. Their politics and policies are freedom freedom freedom, and any form of regulation is sheer anathema to them.

    How to Build an Electrically Heated Table?
  • nah, it's not the same.

    Then you have a no go area underneath your cozy table. Build it into the table and then you have full reign. Stretch out your legs, get drunk, have a foot fight with somebody. You'll never kick it over built in.

    The Firefighters didn't endorse anyone. Now they have a dumpster fire in the White House.
  • I get where you're coming from, I do, but milquetoast is an optimistic definition.

    There are multiple sources claiming that internal polls showed trump winning 400 electoral college votes while Biden was still running. Straight up LYING to donors, constituents, and media. A "competent administrator" would've held an honest primary. Not tried to shove this man uncontested down everyone's throats.

    It's seems incredibly disingenuous to put this all on the voters. At some point you need to admit that the entire democratic party straight up shot themselves in the foot. It also does NOT seem to be a stretch to assume that it was well known in inner circles that he was NOT in his right mind anymore and had NO GOOD REASON to run again at his age.

    I agree with you. Trump sucks. A paper bag could've defeated Trump. so why the hell didn't the democrats just walk down to cub foods and grab one, instead of refusing to get off their asses, rummaging in their couch cushions looking for something to throw in the ring?

    Dems need to stop blaming the voters, do some introspection, and admit to themselves that they completely screwed this up all on their own.

    What's the worst present you've ever received?
  • So one year my sister an I save up for a game cube. We had Kirby air ride, a few controllers, a few Zelda games, we were happy campers.

    Christmas rolls around and the first thing I unwrap for christmas? Halo: Combat Evolved.

    We're good sports about it, everybody makes mistakes, second and third gifts? two xbox controllers.

    the morning continued, memory cards, some xbox party game, the works.

    right at the end, the SOB reveals he won an xbox in a raffle.

    happy ending, but god damn that was an awkward Christmas start

  • I honestly think southern states haven't shaken off the notion of mudsill theory.

    They might not call it that anymore, but god damn does their entire platform seem to push it.

  • Indeed the amount of streamers and conservatives gushing about Japan right now is kinda surreal.

    Like they genuinely thought the US has a monopoly on freedom -_- name a western country that ain't.

    What are some dating mistakes you often see when people try seeking a partner?
  • I would always suggest never force yourself to interact with people. I'm just saying be adjacent. You don't have to force yourself to interact with people. Just at least be around them.

    Forcing yourself to interact with a person for no other reason than interaction is ALWAYS awkward. It takes skill to plow through the awkwardness. Speed dating, speed friending, date auctions, are always awkward for this reason. Small talk can be difficult but if you treat someone more like google asking a question you actually care about. It's a lot less awkward. People like to be experts, and treated as such.

    It's why I say just, wander. It's alright not speaking to anybody for hours at an event. Walk through it like you would a forest. Take in the sights and sounds. Try to find something truly interesting.
