He's the asshole's candidate. We don't need to politely pretend otherwise.

This was so awkward I had to check if you were joking but nope, actual conservative who got his feelings hurt and retaliated with the two most generic right-wing insults there are.

I could teach your entire personality to a bird.

they can give millions in subsidies direct to corporations

That's exactly why they're fighting it -- every dollar they give to poor people is a dollar less they can give to rich people.

Their initial investigation into him lasted 13 months.

Epstein died in 2019. If there's any open cases it's because they're not making any effort to close them.

They were 100% aware they were hosting a "not technically child pornography but we're going to use it as child pornography" sub, but there's no subreddit degenerate enough that they'll ban it while it's profitable.

I won't. He's not a good person and doesn't make even a token effort to pretend otherwise.

I also have to subscribe to and use Adobe software but suggesting it's less buggy and less expensive than other apps is delusional.

The moment you try and do anything outside of basic image editing, Photoshop immediately shits the bed.

It's riddled with features that were half developed or half removed. Tried using any of the 3D stuff? It pops up a box saying "We've abandoned this and it probably won't work, but go ahead and try because we haven't properly removed it". Using artboards? Probably not, since half the app seems to break with them, including their brand new features like Live Gradients that rearrange themselves when you save.

Looking for a filter? Well there's 2 places to look since they seem to have lost interest in the filter gallery half way through, then piled mediocre AI filters on top. It'll be a slow search, since for some reason some popup windows take fully 3 seconds to open, probably due to their 4 different UI systems in various states of abandoned.

Photoshop is widely used today because it was good 15 years ago. If someone hasn't already creating a leaner, more stable, better designed, more ambitious piece of software, it's only a matter of time until they do.

Republicians are never going to go after a Democrat for sleazy, self-serving neoliberalism because they're also sleazy, self-serving neoliberals.

It's one of the unspoken rules of the rich -- you can use unimportant bullshit to jostle for votes, viewers and market share but you're never, ever to attack the system that makes them richer.

The moment someone does, watch them band together across "left-wing" and "right-wing" in a show of class solidarity and signal strength the rest of us can only dream of.

We also have no idea what measures they take to stop the system being manipulated (if any).

The far-right could be working to ensure they're recommended as often as possible and if it just shows up as "engagement" or "impressions" on their stats, YouTube is unlikely to fight it with much enthusiasm.

Libertarians are mostly just neoliberals who are upset they're not allowed to be more psycopathic.

Their new utopia will tear itself apart with greed, drugs and sex abuse just like all the old ones.

It doesn't seep in, it's cultivated by far-right groups that intentionally target children and openly groom them for extremism.
