Trying to not upset the oligarchs with accurate language and reporting is a big part of how we got here IMO. it's not a purity test to want the media to call a Nazi a Nazi.
As someone who does own an X1. I haven't yet tried the other options of slicer or gone deeper down the g-code rabbit hole. I've only had it a few months. I bought knowing that this was a possibility but did so because of the simplicity, quality, and not wanting to spend endless hours tweaking.
One oversight I did have was the possibility that this could eventually lead to a cricut type situation of having a subscription model to even use the hardware. This means I will not be upgrading and will be keeping a closer eye on the changes that are made.
Seems like a lot of people see value for themselves in bending the knee to the Cheeto Mussolini, not really shocked that a has been who most people have probably forgotten about would do the same.
I don't think most of MAGA is actually MAGA but they now have a group of ready made followers to feed their bank accounts, careers, and egos.
Yes they do and I do add my own tech but my experience with some of these devices has not been great.
I have LG TVs which I connected to the network and have been updated over the years to have really bad UX and are now polluted with ads.
I had an LG sound bar that was great for a while until it completely stopped working. Powers on, all functions seem to work, just no sound. Originally it worked as a Chromecast device too, but they stopped doing updates and Google stopped working with the old API.
My fear is that eventually there will be an update that bricks a device. Now I've taken them off the network, but how long before we have TVs that require Internet to even function.
These smart TVs have a lot more hardware and software than they need which means a lot more to break.
I've been going to metal and adjacent shows and festivals for decades.
Metal fans are everything and everyone. There exists no stereotype that any one fan could fully fit.
The lawyer with more money than sense.
The family of 3 with their toddler wearing ear protection.
The guy who looks like he just got done mucking a horse stall.
The boomers who will tell you about the first time they saw Ozzy without it even being brought up.
The smokers and the tokers.
The guy who just escaped the office and doesn't care what people think of his clothes.
The visitors who are not really into the music but they love an opener or swore they would see the headliner if they ever got the chance.
For the most part, people are accepting of everyone. There are a few people who are less hospitable. Usually kids who have an idea of the culture that is not instep with reality. Typically they learn, one way or another.
All of these things will protect kids from the radical left. Now remember, conservatives project to confess, and read what you wrote again.
But what the actual fuck can anyone say to defend removing any discussion about consent‽
Because women are property. They belong to their father until they are married and then they belong to their husbands. Men and boys have no reason to give consent.
Imagine a 100 unit building. Most management companies stagger the leases to minimize time empty and maintenance hours (empty units need to be made ready for new tenants if 10 units become vacant in the same week, it will likely mean more time unoccupied).
Now, in Miami-Dade, the most populous and the least diverse country in Florida, 80 units suddenly become unoccupied and unpaid for. This would be financially devastating for the company. They will do what it takes to get tenants in leases and yes prices will drop.
Many of the apartments in the area are all under a handful of corporate companies. Conservatively they could lose 40% occupancy in a few months. Compound this in that there would also be a similar loss in the number of potential occupants. They would also likely lose most of their maintenance staff.
South Florida (Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade) has a very large migrant population. Among this population you have Haitians, Cubans, and Venezuelans who have protected statuses that will likely end. These statuses also mean that the government will know exactly where to go to start the process of removal.
I heard a really good explanation of this on NPR. Homeless is a label put on a person, similar to saying a person is a redhead. The implication of saying that someone is homeless is that it defines who they are, that it cannot be easily changed.
Unhoused is more descriptive of the situation that a person is in. This is a condition that can be changed, it isn't who the person is.
As I revisit this and think it through though, it seems like another way of pushing the goal. There are absolutely negative connotations with the word homeless, but the same venom will eventually attach to unhoused as well.
The preferred Plan A is probably to bully and pressure at least 50 of the likely 53 GOP senators into supporting his nominations, to establish dominance over Congress and castrate its role as a check on presidential power while making the notion of “advise and consent” an 18th-century anachronism.
How many people rotated through his cabinet the first term? How many staffers walked away?
This is a loyalty test. A hazing. Get on board and confirm the worst possible choices or be relegated to the trash heap with Cheney and Kinzinger.
Trump's ego requires that these fools be confirmed but I doubt half of them make it to the midterms.
I suspect boss man Putin has given Musk kompromat on little bitch Trump. I've thought this for now.
