Any and all dishwashers and refrigerators I've ever owned. Fuck planned obscelence.

I had some issues with Firefox and have switched to Brave. It's been working just fine.

Yes, but if you're comparing all prices you'd need to add the cost of your internet (only) to the price of a cable subscription to get apples-to-apples comparison.

The US doesn't support Israel for our safety. We do because historically being anti-Israel alienated the following groups.

  • Evangelical votes in the US
  • Jewish voters in the US
  • A strong Pro-Israel lobby, who would give a LOT of money, and therefore a lot of votes, to opponents of an anti-Israel candidate.

In their parents' basements?

I agree. The options at the voting center are rarely great. Action is certainly better.

But getting off the sofa to vote for the least-evil option is critical. Especially in the primaries and mid-terms. Vote. Every. Time. Vote for dog-catcher, school boards etc.

If you're young it's even more important.

Not sure I agree. Obamacare is better than then nothing-burger that was available before if you didn't get healthcare through an employer. Biden is trying to at least get some student loan relief through congress. Getting the right people elected to state governments can help make abortions available again in some states. (If you're a right-wing person then choose the opposite topics for your examples.)

People who are defeatist about voting come across as complainers who are too lazy to get off their butts to help.

I just built a website that makes it easy to find and stream community radio stations (which you refer to as 'donation funded') There are over 100 stations listed. Just choose from a drop-down and hit 'play'. Looking for more beta testers https://AlternateAirwaves.com

Can you pick up any community radio in your area? We have one and every couple of hours it's a different type of music. Blues, Rock, Hip-Hop, Reggae etc. All music chosen by the person you hear on the air.

 

Google the recent issues at KDHX to learn more. If you're not happy with the Board of Directors' decisions to get rid of quite a few of the long-time programmers please sign this petition.

Yeah, the meme should have said "Pumpkin Ales" instead of "IPAs"

I work from home and don't want to go back into the office. But there are a few people on my team who are MAJOR sandbaggers who are going to ruin it for the rest of us. Pisses me off.
