  • Shove the presidency down Trump’s throat

    Jump

  • I would say that they are not just content with it they are actively undercutting attempts to build a strong charismatic leader from getting a foothold.

  • Yes I do.

    If app A has an icon that when touched does a specific thing, and app B has the exact same icon that does the exact same thing there is nothing new to learn. The learning curve is flat.

    If you are arguing about the ethical and legal aspect of one app using the exact same UI as another that is a different conversation and a good one to have.

  • Here is my (slightly off topic) rant.

    Until the left gets a charismatic, intelligent, slightly bombastic, and passionate leader to inspire the population to truly organize and put pressure on the leadership nothing will change for the left - or it will change for the worse.

    The progressive left has been leaderless since Bernie lost the primaries. He is still fighting but I feel like the left has abandoned him, and a few others, to carry the load. There is no leadership to inspire progressives to help lift his and other progressive leader's messages up. There is no "news maker" that can get the ideals of the progressive left out to the public. And until there is someone to take up that mantle the corporate Democrats will do fuck all other than complain a bit, because they don't feel any pressure to actually do anything substantial.

  • well the the learning curve for new users is flat and adoption of the app will be more acceptable to more people.

    I think it's a smart idea - they can always make changes to the UI in time as the platform gets more people.

  • CEO of Song-Generating AI App Says People "Don't Enjoy" Making Music With Instruments

  • Nothing kills the joy of a hobby faster than trying to make a living out of it.

    It's one of the symptoms of the SYSTEM when a kid shows talent and/or strong interest in a thing, it could be most anything, the adults that this child looks to for guidance push them to make this interest and/or talent into a career. And as soon as that suggestion takes root in that child's head then it just time before the hobby/talent is abandoned with regret and sadness.

    This may not be universal but it's not rare either - as you know first hand.

    Hope one day you can, if you want, get back to what drew you towards playing music in the first place and I hope you find joy in it for nothing more than that.

  • How do you tell someone the country they’ve loved for 50 years is harboring a growing faction that wishes he’d never come?

    I think these three words in this sentence says a lot about the author. My guess is they felt that America didn't really have a racist population or felt it was small? When in reality it's always been quite large but mostly quite. Where now this population doesn't need to whisper anymore and they are seeing it for the first time.

  • I’m still pissed we as citizenry didn’t stand up and demand what we deserve

    This will only happen if there is someone that the progressive democrats can get behind. Someone like Bernie but younger and more angry. Someone that will call out the bullshit and do it in a way that will get the attention of the big media corporations. I hate to say it but a progressive trump, but smarter (which shouldn't be difficult) and genuinely out to better the lives of the American citizens. And I genuinely hope that this unicorn exists.

  • What successful or popular movie that many loved you just HATE?

    Jump

  • The John Wick series

    Watched them all over the course of a weekend - its the same fucking moving over and over and over and over again. The amount of disbelief I needed to suspend got exponentially larger so by the time I got to the last movie I just couldn't take it anymore. There is no real plot or any development of characters, it's just implausible fight scene after implausible fight scene.

    I think if I put a few months between each movie I wouldn't have this opinion - on their own the movies can be mindlessly entertaining but all together was too much for me.

    What is the history of modern male gender roles and where did it come from?

  • Well shit. I actually thought this was no stupid questions - I need to pay better attention I guess. Thanks for pointing it out. I will re-submit there instead.

  • Maybe stoic is a better word for it. But someone that shows little range of emotions - angry, ambivalent, and happy (on a limited basis) but nothing else.

  • For the last 50,000 years or more we had to walk and move constantly to survive as a species so it makes sense that our bodies would have evolved to reward us for moving.

  • It gets so tiring to hear over and over and over again that the only way to solve the budget problems is through austerity. You know there is another side that can help with reducing a deficit called taxes? Specifically taxing billionaires. But it seems that only the poor must suffer when making things more efficient.

  • How Democrats (just barely) flipped America's most expensive House seat

  • In the lead-up to November, LAist found through a public records review that—while on the Orange County Board of Supervisors during the height of the pandemic—Steel [the Republican candidate] had awarded a $1.2 million contract for meals for seniors to a marketing and printing company involved in her congressional election campaign

    Elon Musk’s America PAC spent nearly $800,000 supporting Steel’s campaign and more than $500,000 opposing Tran, while the pro-cryptocurrency super PAC Fairshake spent roughly $2.8 million helping Steel.

    Steel really was a "for the people" type of candidate. /s

  • I think a lot of people, including me just shut out all the crap after the election - So I don't think it's that people have a difficult time understanding it I think people just didn't continue to follow the news and the see the final numbers a week or so later.
