Good. I hope they take everything he ever has for the rest of his miserable life. I want to see the motherfucker living in a refrigerator box in an alleyway and dumpster diving for food. What a total piece of shit excuse for a human being.

This is what you get if you vote for fascist pigs and career criminals.

I’ll forward your request to my CIA sources, look for their analysis in your inbox.

Anyone who supports ‘Project 2025’ is traitor and should be handled like a traitor.

I think Biden has done a pretty good job overall, but yeah, it’s not like we have another choice. Trump will destroy this country.

Putin’s getting his ass kicked.

Yep.

If we could somehow manage to cut off material support of Russia coming from China and North Korea, I think it’d all fall apart.

Second plot twist: I hear many of them just surrender the first chance they get

Putin is a piece of shit human being who needs to “”“accidentally”“” fall out a high window or “”“accidentally”“” get some polonium in his food. He’s already depopulating Russia of young men for this illegal and immoral invasion of a peaceful democratic sovereign country, and now that they’re fresh out of young men, they’re press-ganging old men and anyone else who can hold a rusty rifle and get their ass shot off in Ukraine. Wouldn’t put it past this motherfucker to start sending old ladies and disabled people over there too.

Here’s the thing, though: Putin knows damned well that if he fails to take Ukraine, the Oligarchs will have him killed, guaranteed. But here’s the other thing about that: he’s going to fail, so he’s dead one way or the other.

Putin should just flee Russia, get plastic surgery to change his appearance, and go live in some remote wilderness for the rest of his unnatural life, and Russia should GTFO of Ukraine now.

Are people really so addicted to social media that they can’t use their own willpower to simply not have those apps installed?

So-called “”“social media”“” is something that was a good idea in the beginning, but when you live in a capitalist society that has businesses that chant “profit above all else” every day, sucking money out of peoples’ wallets becomes more important than being responsible to society as a whole. So social media sites like Facebook go out of their way to make using it as addictive as possible. Then they scrape your posts and what you’re looking at to profile you and use that data to sell ad space to other companies, and you get “”'targeted"“” ads shoved in your face. Something like Facebook literally can’t stop making themselves as addictive as possible to the end users because that’s how Zuckerberg makes his billions. Meanwhile none of them really care what this does to our society and civilization.

Can you not root the device and install Graphene or a clean Android OS without the Samsung crap

The real issue is that you shouldn’t have to go through all that in the first place.

What’s Facebook?

Brain poison.

Not counting my last job, which issued everyone iPhones (because of a proprietary app necessary to do the job), I’ve never owned a smartphone – and likely never will. For me goes way beyond any ‘addiction’ issues, into technical issues about the nature of the OS the manufacturers install on them, and how the telecom companies manage them. Also the ongoing cost to operate, which again is an issue with the telecom companies. If these devices had been more ‘open’ to start with I might have one, but they’re not, and without getting into the list of reasons why, it’s all just a deal-breaker and a headache I can do without.

Also as others are saying: I have two $40 clamshell phones, and while they run Android, they have no internet connectivity at all, just basic phone service and texting – and service costs me all of $40 a month for both.

Nice try, FBI.

Good.

I got maybe another 20 or so years of life left to me, I really don’t want to see my world turn into some fascist authoritarian hell-scape where everything is ruled from Moscow or Beijing. So please, fellow homosapiens: don’t let that happen, mmkay?

I won’t be terribly surprised to hear that someone who allegedly lived and died 2000+ years ago might have a less than transparent story.

Personally I believe that many of our civilizations’ problems would be solved if ‘profit above all else’ ceased to be the corporate mantra.

I’ve heard that they all use standard 18650 cells, just many of them.

I know all that. I’m talking about the moving parts in the ENGINE, which then would not exist. A brushless DC drive motor only has bearings to worry about. A gearbox is necessary but a well-made gearbox should last for decades and is way easier to rebuild than an entire ICE engine. Of course suspension and brake parts wear out over time, but as you can see I wasn’t referring to those any more than I was referring to tires. All those things are cheaper and easier to replace, really, than having to worry about an entire ICE engine, with the fuel system, cooling system, and exhaust system to worry about. At worst an EV might have a motor or it’s inverter go bad, and of course the battery pack has a limited lifespan, but those are essentially drop-in replacements compared to what you have to go through with a modern ICE and all the crap attached to them.

Fuck off
