  • If you truly think half of the US is down for this, the propaganda is working on you.

  • Not disagreeing at all, but I think it's important to note how effective wage slavery is in keeping people too exhausted to stay informed. I'm in California, where a studio apartment goes for about $1k/mo, landlords generally require you to earn 3x rent after taxes to qualify, and minimum wage is $17/hr. So, working 60 hours a week at minimum wage, you might just barely qualify, and that's without even taking into account all other living expenses.

    I agree that ignorance can be a byproduct of privilege, but it can also be a byproduct of poverty.

  • Motorola confirms GrapheneOS support for a future phone, bringing over features

  • Lmao, but I've found it's less about being cool and more about being firm. I've got three friends that I told very plainly "I will no longer be reachable via SMS, please use Signal". Bear in mind that 1) these are people who love me a lot, more like family than friends, and 2) I didn't try to shame them or demand they stop using SMS entirely. I just said "this is how you reach me now". All three installed Signal, and one of them now uses it as their primary method of text communication like I do.

    Not saying it's easy necessarily, and I doubt this method would work for acquaintances rather than family or close friends. But every little helps, and it's a place to start.

  • Do you think Obama could have said that quote from Trump above and still been sworn in the next day?

  • Seems like a bunch of lawsuits waiting to happen. You know one of these toolbags is gonna point at a cis woman with a double mastectomy and baldness from chemo and be like "that's a man!" Seems like she'd have a good case.

  • I'm not sure why people still think the guy who, a day before he was sworn in, said "He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers, those vote-counting computers, and we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. So, it was pretty good, it was pretty good. So, thank you to Elon" legitimately won in a free and fair election.

  • There hasn't been much of one yet, because many people don't feel personally threatened. They will feel threatened if ICE is blocking access to their polling place though.

  • Frankly, I don't really blame people for having faith in the guardrails. Generally speaking, whenever any truly progressive legislation (often labeled as "extremism") has been pushed forward, those guardrails have come up real quick. I understand why people thought that that would hold true for extremism in any direction. But it... well, doesn't.

  • We both outnumber and out-gun ICE by an absolutely astounding margin. ICE posts at our polling places, ICE gets crushed.

  • The genre of pop music was built off using instrumentation and song structures common in popular music, hence the name. Not sure why this is confusing, but I'm also not interested in talking to you anymore, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

  • I'm not saying that all pop music is actually popular, I'm saying that the origin of the term "pop music" is "popular music".

  • Funny, cuz lots of the ones who say "ew less than 100k listens" will also say they're not into pop music. Wondering what they think "pop" is short for lmao
