  • Mark Zuckerberg starts Meta earnings call by praising Trump administration

    Jump

  • That's why it's so pathetic: he doesn't have to. If Bernie Sanders were elected, a wealth tax implemented, etc, Meta would still exist and his quality of life wouldn't change at all. He chooses to suck up to Trump, which is about as "small dick energy" as you can get...

  • JD Vance finally admits what Trump’s big plan to lower food prices is | The plan is no plan.

    Jump

  • Glad it helped. Thanks for the info about Dillanos, I'm intrigued and think I'll try their Double Dark roast. Let us know how the Black Coffee Roasting Company instant is!

  • The Starbucks Via Instant Coffee packets are decent and very convenient. Also, coffee expert James Hoffman reviews easily-available instant coffees for when you have absolutely nothing but hot water:

    Mexican cartel opens fire at US border guards

    Jump

  • That's true. But in this context, you're imagining cartel members crossing the border (or paying someone to) to kill citizens on American soil. Not saying that pissing them off wouldn't make them want to retaliate, but would they be able to find out the identify of specific masked special forces members any more than anonymous soldiers? Or for that matter, vs masked special forces members that are currently involved in joint-force missions against them? Or am I misunderstanding the premise?

    Mexican cartel opens fire at US border guards

    Jump

  • It would be horrible for American and Mexican citizens. But let's not pretend local cartels could stand against literal all-out war against the United States. They also can't win against all-out war from the Mexican government.

    The only way they survive is by carving out their own little area, and digging in. Oh, and the US and others importing illegal drugs. You really want to destroy the cartels? Legalize and regulate drugs and open treatment centers...

  • Not all instant coffee is terrible. There's a wide variety in quality there just like with full beans.

    That's true. Consumers have more choices and better options than in the past. But comparing it to pretty much any brand whole bean, ground fresh and properly extracted, absolutely not. No comparison. I would take Starbucks, Keurig (there's a ton of varieties, many decent), or Folgers any day over an instant...

  • Trump Lost. Vote Suppression Won.

    Jump

  • leftists/squad progressives did tell all the young democrats not to vote for Joe/Kamala

    Interestingly, people can self-identify however they want! I didn't see a meaningful amount of genuine progressives telling people not to vote. There's speculation that foreign disinformation spread the sentiment of "protest voting" and stirred shit up.

    However. Whatever the case, people need to take personal responsibility. You decide what type of information to consume and how to vet it (if you even do). And you are to blame if you decided not to vote or threw it away on an inviable 3rd-party candidate.

  • Any obstacles to electing someone else could have easily been overcome.

    This was completely preventable.

  • Elon Musk doubles down on salute controversy with a bunch of Nazi jokes

    Jump

  • People said they were just an Israel lobbyist group and I just shrugged my shoulders. But after defending genocide and Musk, it's clear the last thing they actually care about is "defamation"...

  • Elon Musk's and X's Role in 2024 Election Interference

    Jump

  • By unsourced, I mean anonymous. Without knowing who this is, and carefully tracking the proof from there, we can't know if it's true...

  • Elon Musk's and X's Role in 2024 Election Interference

    Jump

  • I get that if they reveal themself and provide proof, the very lives of them and their family are in danger. I'm not pretending that's an easy choice to make, or that I know what I would choose.

    However. Without this proof, in our current disinformation environment, an unsourced, unprovable story like this is a half-measure and as such, just noise. Sorry...

  • Which game consoles have you played, and what are your favorite and least favorite games on them?

  • Uh, I think you forgot to add your favorite game for each of those! 😁

    I'll never not be furious and embarrassed that this is a thing in our country.
