Where will Trump voters hear about the negatives? The 4th estate is not something they have any regard for or they wouldn’t be on the fence. Newsmax, OAN, Fox, etc will all ignore the racism

One side expects their candidates to hold some standards, the other side doesn’t care. It’s like watching a sporting event with a homer who only sees the world based on how it effects their team winning or losing. Fairness doesn’t come into play, the other side is always cheating and getting favored media exposure.
XP was kind of a F up for MS, they gave us a really decent OS that raised our expectations. People ran that for almost 2 decades because no one wanted the new OS’s MS was putting out like ME and Vista. Win 8 was out when XP support fully ended and many people chose to go with the older Win 7 because it was less intrusive and more like a PC OS instead of trying to become like a Apple/phone/tablet interface. XP>Win 7>Win 10>Win 11 imo and all the unmentioned weren’t worth upgrading for, but I don’t use my phone for the internet and I’ve been using a PC for over 40 years. We like what’s familiar and we can use without having to think too much about the tool used to achieve what we’re doing. I have Win 11 on a laptop and I have to jump through a lot more hoops to control my desktop, who can pull my info, what can install, what can run in the background. And every update I have to do it again because they add shit back in again along with new stuff I don’t want or need. Win 10 professional at least minimized how often they’d add new stuff or change my existing settings. Win 11 Pro doesn’t seem nearly as friendly.
I remember reading about a Pa Kua Chang master who could walk through a crowd with a full teacup and not spill any. For whatever reason I started to practice walking with a full to the brim teacup (with or without a handle) and now I can go up and down stairs with one or two and not spill anything. Usually
What’s the sound of one hand clapping? ;-p
I have friends taking it through the therapy groups and it’s pretty concerning to me. Self control is not high on their list of skills
I recently added a printer to my PC. Having to launch that antique spooler window from like Windows 3.1 to print is a bit hilarious
You said there was a vote though? It couldn’t get enough Dem’s to even bring it to a vote. And no I don’t think a majority of Dem’s would choose to allow non adults to vote and it would certainly be dead if it made it to the floor. There are significantly more examples of Repub’s trying to restrict voting since the 60’s than Dem’s trying to expand voting beyond groups of adults who were deprived from voting like women, African Americans, etc.
I didn’t realize Meng had tried to do this in 21 but it didn’t even get a vote as far as I can see which is why it was reintroduced again in 23 and it hasn’t moved. So they being a small group of Dems who can’t even get it to a vote doesn’t mean that much so I stand by not anyone with any power will do anything. It’s not like Dem’s have some Project 2025 with this in that goal book for the future.
No one is trying to get the voting age lowered. Could some people be talking about it and some media hacks focus on that talk? Sure, but not anyone with any power to do anything. It’s like those on the right who want to increase it again to 21. Are there some talking about it? Sure. Will anything be done about it? Not anymore chance than it would be lowered to under 18. It’s a BS media talking point click bait
For the last few years I’ve been going to festivals that avoid fricken Ticketbastard. They’re still expensive but at least the money is going to the people putting it on instead of some corporate heads and hedge funders
Yeah, I’m still sitting on my Roku for the time being. I keep all my other TV connections dumb so my TV and Blu Ray don’t have my WiFi info. I did finally get a HDMI for my laptop to connect to the TV to watch racing on YT without ads which is an adequate backup option now. I have studio monitors on my PC that are better than the soundbar/Sub on the TV, but when friends are over the TV works better for watching stuff
Odd. I’m able to listen to music there still
Not all of my Ad On’s are for YT, but yes I run a JS blocker and also block video’s and sound on all sites except YT
Israeli and extremist Jewish lobbyists have monstrous power in congress.
Fuck our politicians and their collusion with Israel in this genocide. Our damn oligarchy masquerading as a democracy is getting to grow old and we need to change and take control of our country through voting which starts in the primaries so we get true progressives in instead of people who want to go backwards or rollover to those with power or money to control our democratic institutions. Yeah I’m looking at the damn DNC who control our only reasonable hope for change. argh
I’ve been tempted to sign up as well so I can stream to my TV through their app. I can block anything I want through my PC but smart TV’s are too locked down for my technical knowledge so I get ad’s which is unacceptable
I run uOrigin, flashblock, JS disabled, No Overlays, and DDG’s privacy ad on’s and I have no problems with YT
No large manufacturing and very rough country. I’d also guess a lot of the tourism is based in Madrid and Barcelona. I’ve looked at touring S. Spain and transportation is a bit difficult unless you bus or drive everywhere. I found this map that may be relevant. https://www.caixabankresearch.com/sites/default/files/styles/container_1400/public/content/image/2021/06/29/91184/p-7.jpg?itok=CgMvPxFA
For the last couple of years I’ve quit going to all the little rural communities in SE Michigan I spend money at who are voting for Trump at proportionally high rates. If they don’t want us, they don’t want our money either.
