They lost interest after finding out it was going to be expensive, complicated requiring work.

I vote for the candidate that would do the least harm for the most people, just like I always do, nearly always the Dem

I believe there is a mandate Since the largest group of voters did not vote, they apparently thought everything was fine the way it was They passively voted for the Status Quo There is a clear Mandate for the Status Quo! Winning by less than 1% & losing seats in the house is no mandate to become a Monarchy, to be ruled by Royal decree

Making it all seem like shyt is the GOPux brand
Proving government incompetent by their actions

The Dems keep running on We Suck Less!

In general we would rather critique the bad faith arguments of conservatives than talk about policy, which is mind numbingly boring....

As long as the donor class calls the tune it's gonna continue Third Way, Neo Liberal...

Qrs don't seem safe to me
Scanning a Qr allows the installation of malware apps so I can look at a restaurant menu, & ding my card for recurring charges?

I got an email from Meta a couple of days ago about an account I had been locked out of for a several years, after logging out, trying to recover my password, which they wouldn't allow without me providing a copy of my drivers license, which wasn't going to be possible, since I made up all the details other than the throw away gmail account
I had been restricted & banned for posting meme's or trolling magats on several occasions prior...

I'm guessing, there was a mass unlocking of previously blocked accounts

Womens sports is an accommodation so men don't have to compete & lose to women
Gender is an imprecise way to classify athletes
Weight & skill level are more sensible

Moderation for adults is gonna be tough
Who is going to submit to being under someone else's control
There are lots of tools available
All require discipline to use consistently

I have my own organizational scheme to reduce distractions
No notifications on the desktop, Three hidden panels: Time/calendar/weather, Launchers, Virtual desktops/window switcher/system tray Different browser & email for different tasks
Virtual desktops Money, doctors, work
Music, books, games [no email or browser] News, critique of peoples opinions,
Forums & sites I'm testing, repair info, linux stuff

All the tabs on the different browsers relate to the purpose of the VD
If I miss, I move whatever it is to where it "belongs"
Keeps me from being stuck doing one thing too long or ignoring things I should spend time on

I notice what used to be a 90 minute movie is now a 10 part series
I don't remember being assigned entire books in grade or middle school [70's]
The assignments were a chapter or two

Or we could stop encouraging our children to concuss each other

"German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam, says that “carbon capture and storage” (CCS) can be done safely in the saltwater and limestone pores at 600 to 1,200 meters below the seabed. “It will either dissolve as carbonic acid or bind with the limestone,” she says. Injection sites in the North Sea are the German government’s main solution for so-called “unavoidable emissions,” like those from the cement and other industries"

Basically another subsidy harvesting scheme
There isn't even the expectation that the co2 will stay in porous limestone, but instead end up making the oceans more acidic, which is already a problem with elevated atmospheric co2 levels

A crisis of excess consumption & growth can't be solved, by growing in a slightly different way
