stickers that say they accept Monero

If you’re holding the speculative asset you have incentive to promote the use of that asset.

How many people do you think actually pay with monero?

Fine. Whatever it takes.

And if a cheap, used, decade old EV battery is down to 80% of its former max life, that’s still a very usable vehicle for almost everyone. It probably isn’t even noticeable outside of long trips.

In fact, I can vouch. I keep the max charge on my new battery at 80% to extend its lifespan. I don’t even plug the thing in every night. My charge from 80% down to 45% can last nearly a week.

The 600k number is dumb. We don’t need to make shit up to make this bad.

If they had marked which particular seats didn’t have actual windows, it’d likely be fine to keep the terminology.

Maybe, yeah. To some extent though, I think perception is reality.

I think if the overwhelming reaction is “nothing will come of it”, it makes it more likely that nothing will come of it. But the media is certainly acting like it could be more.

At least my friend’s reaction, “he’ll never be held accountable for his crimes” still acknowledges that he’s a criminal that should be behind bars.

I think billionaires are realizing he’s actually not good for the economy or their money after all. So they’re going to rightly use the truth to get this stuff to the right media this time and force him out.

He’s out by Valentine’s Day was my call. Of all the stuff he’s done, it may have been screwing with JPow and Lisa Cook that does him in.

You think it’s ghosts and goblins. I think it was a bad trade for more Epstein files in the hopes they’ll topple the emperor.

Do you have a strategy or just hopelessness?

That’s not what the phrase “dark pattern” means.

“nuh uh” is shorter. Might save you some time when people continually post evidence.

“Every single” is the kind of lazy shit that gets us into this mess. It’s going to take more thought than that.

Well, that part of the system is fixed. There was a cost to that fix, so please make it worth it.

It makes the damage that’s being done loud and visible instead of quietly having our country dismantled without people noticing because “they don’t follow politics” and the lack of Due Process hasn’t affected them personally yet.

I generally agree, but part of the reason Schumer can’t whip votes is that he no longer controls the DNC.

He can’t direct DNC money towards the candidates that vote the way he wants, and he can’t direct money to their opponents to punish them when they break ranks.

I think this would be good for democracy, in the same way that anti-gerrymandering laws are good for democracy. … You know, except when.

Yeah. We need to fight that in a smart way.

You can’t just say all Dems are bad. You can’t just say all incumbents are bad. Term limits aren’t the answer, and probably wouldn’t help with most of these.

We need to get good candidates in primaries and support those candidates. Now is the time to be doing this. We need someone to step up for that seat, ideally this month, and we need to get behind them.

Ideally it’d be someone with enough history to show they’re not a Sinema.

Yeah. They would have caved. It was the epitome of how Republicans are destroying government.

They would have caved or there would have been consequences.

And it’s better to lose all of our airports, publicly, loudly, and visibly, than it is to lose our entire Judicial branch of government.

They’re all retiring at the end of their terms if they like it or not.

Just make sure we have a good candidate in the primary. And we need to actually support people who are better before their primaries.

Well, it wasn’t just billionaires. It was anyone trying to fly for the holidays.

I, for one, was willing to endure for healthcare. It was a fight that was worth it. It’s not Medicare for All, but it was something.

Note that impersonating police is a crime. I expect this would also be a crime.

Just pointing out the issues with unidentified, masked police.
