I code, a lot. I watch sports, a lot. I’m a Cleveland sports fan first, so that generally sucks. Will be using this exclusively as a stream of consciousness.
Potentially a hot take — There’s a difference between social issues you personally care about and social issues that are worth letting politicians talk about. Not every issue I care about is an issue that should be getting national attention.

You should read up about Open Banking. It’s good for consumers to be aware of their rights, especially when it comes to lending.

Good read. There are a lot of examples of conservatives exhibiting acts of self-harm for some shared sense of accomplishment that is often hard to define.
I wonder what’s worse, believing you’re doing something good when you’re actually hurting yourself, or knowing you’re doing nothing at all.

I watched the first few seconds and then I turned it off. I dreaded watching it, so I put it off for days. I am a rural Missourian, and so is Skylar, but unlike Skylar, I am a Democrat — I voted in his best interest while he voted against mine.

Boston Dynamics Dog Unstoppable At Puppy Bowl
GLENS FALLS, NY—Breaking its own record after scoring a touchdown to rack up its 600th point within the first quarter, the Boston Dynamics dog appeared unstoppable at the Puppy Bowl, sources confirmed Sunday. “It looks like Nacho is headed into the end zone, and—oh no, another brutal tackle from Spot, the robotic dog!” said game commentator Steve Levy, who clutched his head and winced as the gadget began emitting a high-pitched noise that caused the few still-standing puppies to crumple unconscious to the ground. “Oof, that’s gotta hurt! This is one dog that sure likes to play rough. It’ll be interesting to see what he does with the arm he’s protracting. Good God, Spot, no. That’s the referee! Run, everybody. Run for your lives!” At press time, the robotic dog was reportedly showboating with a victory dance on a pile of its opponents’ corpses.

I’m not sure if you intended this, but this is also a comment on what “aligning with a mission” means, when republicans and democrats are geographically in different places. A Republican in the city has a different “mission” than a Republican in rural America. Dems barely see republicans they fault.
I will never fault nobody for voting in the way they think it’s best for them. That’s not what democracy is about guys. I voted for Kamala but if I felt like a 3rd party candidate best aligned with my mission & morals but they didn’t win AND who YOU voted for also didn’t win, how I’m to blame?
I think there is enough anger to go around for everyone, tbh. They are all responsible, not necessarily equally, but responsible nonetheless. Not voting or voting 3rd party while also doing absolutely nothing to help the cause is a choice.

I do think some companies deserve my dollar. I’m not completely anti-capitalist, that’s exhausting.
That being said, X/Tesla are like the EA Sports of other industries. The people that enjoy the app, or the cars, literally do not, and will never care what you tell them.
Great customer base lol.

if you're a tech journalist in the present climate, it's incumbent upon you to ask why big tech is pursuing dead ends like AI when they could just start using the number 2. ones and zeroes have taken us as far as they can. either chuck a few 2s in there or cede the future of tech to those who will

Because both sides can do it. So it’s a feature of the game???
Why is it called gerrymandering instead of cheating?

I like them on other people. I cannot wear them myself. I need to be extra on my jeans. Like R&B, Ksubi. It’s the only clothing item I spend a lot of money on. I refuse to believe I look good or feel good in Levi’s.
