How?! How can they stand it themselves and not feel like they're being blinded?

While I think Linus can be way too whiny at times. I think he handled the situation well if everything stated is true. He made it clear on his forum that they terminated the partnership/sponsorship. He could have made a 'more public statement (e.g., a video on ltt)' but as he stated, viewers probably would have raked him over the coals for doing so. It likely would have been perceived as 'oh no! Honey stole money from me but gave you a discount. Woe is me.'

He still is too whiny as of the last few years but as a small business (very small; ~20 employees) owner myself, I kind of get it. I go out of my way to try to give my employees the best possible experience but sometimes people think I'm just taking advantage of them (despite me paying my full-time employees 1.5x my pre-tax take home rate). So I kind of get why he acts that way at times. Now, I don't condone it, but I understand.

Edit I love what Steve from GN is doing. I reported the honey extension when this news initially came out. I have supported all his pro consumer reports/actions.

I had a terrible run of sinus infections last year so I've been using a humidifier and been checking the humidity in the house daily this winter. What percent range do you find is ideal?

17 C here as well. I used to find it comfortable but as I get older, I'm needing more and more clothes or blankets. I blame my thinning hair.

Same. I came on with the original Google play music. I can't believe that was nearly 13 years ago... Oh how I miss Google play music.

Plus 1 for Ahoy! So happy he seems to be back making videos a bit more consistently.

IIRC they sold and shipped 2 generations of CPUs that were essentially defective and unrepairable.

They feed their young through regurgitation so they do have the ability! Now can it be projected at a distance? Hopefully someone can inform us lol.

"So that's what things would be like if I invented the finglonger..."

Made me think of this Futurama scene.

Clearly I'm not if you read my original post. But it seems you don't want to have an actual conversation on the matter.

First I want to say I appreciate your time and your responses. I appreciate having an actual conversation on the matter because I truly am interested in your thoughts and what you think the best approach may be.

Trust me, I don't just want to change how we vote, I think that many changes need to be made to our government. My biggest question is how do you think we can make that happen? My opinion (just an opinion) is that the people have a much better chance with making changes through local elections and that the democratic party is more likely (at least at the moment) to put us in the right direction. Yeah, it's not going to fast or easy.

I consider myself independent. I always tried to vote for the best candidate no matter the party. Then after 2016, I realized that overall the GOP was toxic for the country. I already didn't like the Democratic party leadership but figured that while they suck, it's much more dangerous for Trump/the GOP to be in charge again.

Again, I appreciate your time and if you can, please share what you think may be the best option forward. I know you mentioned voting 3rd party but what else do you think people should do?
