I actually thought AIPAC was some antisemitic conspiracy theory when someone first explained it to me.

If Freud was constantly at war with his autocorrect, then yes.

You claim election fraud; I claim you are a fraud; We are not the same

As god intended

It’s not a narrow margin anymore though. Even in the senate, there’s 54 democrats, and 2 races still haven’t been called.

If I threatened to my boss that I would just not do my job if I didn’t get what I wanted, I’d probably be fired on the spot, but to each their own I guess.

Sounds like they weren’t quite ready for primetime, but rushed to a launch after Proton had their whole AI re-interview debacle. Although, now that Proton has reversed that plan, this puts them in an awkward spot…

My policy on immigrants and ICE has suddenly changed in a way I could never have anticipated.

You just know that she’s guilty of <random crime>, because her skin color isn’t white and her name is Ilhan.

Probably because despite the fact that the war is unnecessary and annoying, ultimately no one actually likes Iran. With Palestine, everyone wants to defend them; they’ve done nothing wrong and are the victims of oppression. Iran is actually awful and has been for a while. No one wants to be confused between being anti-war and pro-Iran.

My wife worked at a concert venue during covid. Luke Colms (famous country guy) was steadfast in his policy that attendees needn’t wear a mask, but around him, everyone had to be tested as masked. Most celebrities engage in double-speak in one form or another, it has a massive financial incentive.

I’m almost certain that’s not true. I have an S10+, and with an external DAC that displays the bitrate, it caps at CD quality.

But we’re just so free!

As an audiophile, I gotta say that audio jacks needed to die. Often, you would get a much lower bitrate out of the whole system. “Well, the sound card attached to the jack can only do 16bit, so there’s no point in going past that in the OS or motherboard.” With my fairphone 6, I’m a $20 Moondrop dongle away from 32 bit 192 kHz audio, which wasn’t actually possible with most flagship phones before they started dropping audio jacks, and is basically infinity as far as any human ear is concerned.

Remember, the “both sides” argument is always helpful, aren’t you glad you dodged having Kamala Harris for president?!?
