By all means, be choosy with where you spend your money and who you work for. But don’t delude yourself into thinking that’s how we win.

There should be a bot that responds with this every fucking time somebody says "boycott."

(I say as someone who has been boycotting several large companies for decades, to zero observable effect.)

In other words, as moderate as can fucking be. In actual reality, it's the establishment Democrats who are radical in the wrong direction.

Why didn't he say all this before the primaries were held in most states? Or after the General Elections?

Because you have to build political capital before you can spend it. If he had said it in December, corporatist Dems would've been able to use the excuse "why should we care what he has to say? All he did was get elected; he hasn't done anything yet."

AFAIK, yes, and they've given up on their weird crusade.

Sounds like a worthwhile tradeoff for something you're strapping to your face and therefore want to be as light as possible.

Well, on the bright side, I guess I was wrong about Trump's vandalism of the reflecting pool being permanent.

That presupposes they actually care about the prisoners, as opposed to dumping them in a hole to die of neglect.

Mix it with sour cream and dip wavy potato chips in it.

Makes sense; there wouldn't have been any flowers or tetrapods for them to suck on yet.

Edit: @KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.works deleted his comment, but he was at least half-right. Amphibians (tetrapods) had indeed started to show up in the Carboniferous. That said, the Wiki page I read before commenting said that mosquitos feed from mammals and reptiles but didn't mention amphibians. I think it's not that I was wrong about them having nothing to eat, but that I was wrong about overgeneralizing to say "tetrapods."

Also, the ancestors of flowering plants did indeed diverge from their common ancestor with gymnosperms during the Carboniferous, although flowering plants didn't become dominant until the Cretaceous.

Wait, the $15 2K model you bought yesterday can be rooted? I figured anything made in the last few years would've been patched.

Can you tell me the exact model (the code on the box, like this, as explained in this XDA thread about the model I got where I experienced disappointment), and where you found the information about rooting it?

I appreciate that you're happy with yours even without rooting, but I don't think I'd be able to trust it not to enshittify in the long run on the stock firmware.

I have a couple of them that I bought shortly after the LTT video on the topic with the intention of rooting. After figuring out that I'd unfortunately got the newer hardware revision that can't be rooted, I had them just sitting in a box.

If "debloating" them without rooting and installing Lineage or whatever is "good enough," maybe I should take another look. Do you know of a good guide to follow? Is there anything special that needs to be done, such as preventing it from updating or connecting to the Internet before the factory malware is removed?

I like how that adds up to 110%.
