We've been a joke for a long time. We the people are finally learning the rest of the world isn't laughing with us...

Well...yea...Ukraine has 60 days or so to win this conflict or be erased from history.

Meh...no it didn't. Maga people don't watch 60 minutes. A bunch of X bots reposted a bunch of bot links.

I’m still really struggling to see an actual formidable use case

It's an excellent replacement for middle management blather. Content that has no backing in data or science but needs to sound important.

We bail out all the farmers as we've always done.

My favorite thing I've got off eBay so far was a catalytic converter. It was empty.

My state doesn't do emissions, and I kind of knew what I was getting...but wow...I can't believe a company would allow that in the first place.

You've clearly never lost a dispute on eBay. It's possibly the worst customer experience I've had.

I needed a glass part for a projector, it showed up broken. Tried to send it back and the seller offered like a 10% refund. eBay...after waiting a week (mandatory dispute resolution time) showed up, spent another week trying to meditate, the just said fuck it, the seller is right, eat a dick and your broken color wheel.

eBay gives you the illusion of consumer protection until you actually need it.

But no, based on some of the car parts and things I've gotten off eBay...the quality is objectively not better than what I've seen off Temu.

Dunno...I'm not saying Microsoft isn't doing bad things...I'm just saying they wouldn't be my priority.

I've met people that have gotten decent stuff off there. Their clothes seem nice and the electronics are hit and miss.

It's about the same rate of crap to quality as EBay these days, and Amazon is only marginally better.

The Rs...it was interesting, when Trump was declared guilty I watched Fox and Newsmax to see if they had actually reported on it.

They WERE calling for a rebellion. They mentioned the 2nd amendment a couple of times, and the rhetoric was generally violence.

The message conservatives get is very different than what the rest of the world gets.

Uh...the big We is fucking stupid. It's not stopping anything at this point. That ship has sailed.

Weird...very weird. AWS owns nearly ~~50%~~ over 30% of the web, but they're going after MS for a shitty product (Azure), which is at 20-25%

 

There was an article earlier about people smoking crack if they thing Trump is up 10 points.

Well...he's up 10 points. The Democrats need to do something fairly drastic soon if they want to win 24.
