If you're still asking this question, you are either a disingenuous troll or you are beyond help. You obviously haven't spent even five minutes trying to understand why the U.S. is still funding Israel and the general positions of the two candidates and instead feel that time is better spent riffing on the same Lemmy buzzword.

The ACA never happened in your mind?

And guess what? If you've ever sold anything on TikTok, Bytedance (and the CCP) has your SSN, asking with a treasure trove of personal info! Byebye, identity!

This is a weird take. That ticker telling you about scores and schedules for a whole bunch of different sports has been on ESPN forever.

Way ahead of you. When trying to persuade, you need to know your audience. I'm going door to door canvassing, and having conversations with voters that have these concerns. Those conversations, meeting people one-on-one with empathy, has a profound effect.

In contrast, here, I was responding to someone who was obviously acting in bad faith. I'm not trying to convince that person, but making sure others observing the conversation don't feel gaslit and second-guess the reality others are trying to distort.

I'm not as dense as I might appear. However, I do appreciate you calling me out so we can have a conversation like this. It's important, and it helps us all learn and grow.

Thanks for making it disgustingly obvious how easy it is to cherry-pick statements, excluding the full context, to push forward an agenda.

We all know the situation. But we also have more folds in our grey matter to understand the consequences of the alternatives.

"Israel has the right to defend itself" vs "finish the job" are totally equivalent stances. Got it.

That's still "both sides" and it's the same shitty argument.

I have a callus on my big toe. A war vet had his foot blown clean off. Are you going to say we both have foot problems?

That's not valuing your time, friendo. That's undiagnosed ADD.

So she's running hard mode Republican?

What manufacturer? Name and shame.

CarPlay I can see if there's an ongoing cost of making sure future Apple updates don't break compatibility, but it's very highly unlikely that will ever be an issue.

People won't switch from driving to cycling over this. They'll just pick one of the several dozen other car manufacturers.
