Sorry for being suspicious.

That guy is like Joe Rogan. Acts like he’s just asking questions or observing, but is bias in most content and whose perspective is shared (tactfully sprinkling neutral pieces in between).

From how once beautiful cities are allowing drugs and homelessness to run rampant (this trump talking point was the video that first made him famous), to how border crossing is terrible and human trafficking is a bane on our society due to inaction, to how welfare is ruining rural America, and a video disparaging the use of masks during covid. New York Post and Daily Mail regularly do articles based on his content.

You’re not getting insight into other places or people like he implies. You’re getting what he thinks you should see. He’s another Joe Rogan.

Sorry if I’m missing sarcasm, but this has been a big deal for several years. Planning started under Obama!

Here’s my guess. The main mission structure and Time line were announced and detailed under Trump admin in like 2017. But since he dominates and generates near constant stupid headlines, it probably filtered away in a matter of hours. Same with each time a launch has occurred I suppose. Another aspect is that space x is heavily involved, so left leaning circles probably aren’t super excited as they would be?

Edit: I just saw who Peter whatever was. I think he is a disingenuous person and maybe this post is also? Or you’re in a bubble that you really need to get out of

WHERE ARE YOU, CONSPIRACY-LOVING RIGHT WING??

I almost got sucked in. But there’s shady stuff outside of this situation anyway (hidden funding source).

Makes me think archive should be heavily funded and used for all sources

What I did end up finding:

It looks like it was a downloadable mobile app that would switch your dns for you instead of manually. There were a couple of obviously-ads tech articles about it’s release and why dns is so important.

There is a dead Google play link, too

We need our CEO to be the greediest, most unethical, unemphatic selfish prick we can get to try to gobble up as much cash for the company as possible. If we pay any less, the greedy assholes won’t apply and we might get someone who gives some of the value back to the customer

Top recommended on my feed was NYT article headlined “largest immigration surge in US History” under Biden. That was their top number one story today. Suggested both that it was a key factor in Harris loss and that it has already ended because of Trump election

Every teacher has their own list of “absolutely never” names for future offspring. The amount of overlap is surprising

This is where my brain went, too. Even looking at this Lemmy thread. 6 of the 10 most upvoted top level comments (including THE most upvoted) are “not meee”, “not alllll men”, defensive crap or “well she should have just…” and “even men have to deal with it toooo” like damn. We ARE fucked.

When the image appears on the screen, he says, “we didn’t want the blade runner future. Well, maybe that cool duster he’s wearing.” So anyone there would likely assume that the image is from Blade Runner. The intent of the image was Blade Runner.

Honestly, if you want quality educational support, subscription services are more often going to be your gold standard. Ones that work in a browser probably best bet. Line ABC Mouse or whatever.

I love it. Order when you’re ready. Don’t have to wait until the waiter is done helping the other table. See additional “substitution” options listed that you wouldn’t have thought of trying. Pay and leave when you’re ready to go

As of now they’re still considering this a test, so people have to still carry and have available their physical ID in any situation.

But, off the top of my head, say you’re going through security and already have your plane ticket on your phone, that is all you will need to have out.

If you’re buying some booze at the circle K and already planning to pay with your phone, again no need to get out your wallet.

I dunno if the ends justify the means, but use-case is kinda fun I guess

Are you mad at verge for not expounding on what that button does, or trying to display the issue itself?

But I need it for my ________. There are simply no alternatives.

That’s what they say.

How about deep diving? It’s not easy and consistent with one app, but it’s pretty satisfying to be the one figuring stuff out.

Or local city planning. Future plans on what to build and where. Doesn’t update as frequently, but it’s something to circle back to on occasion, or you might want to get involved and go to a meeting.

Some people like to listen to police scanners, or alternatively there is usually someone with a social media account who posts just the most important or funniest transmissions from the city/county/whatever

Or you could get an idle game app that you occasionally need to pop into to collect money and upgrade.

Start day trading?

Portland airport parking garage has these lights at each spot, along with a digital sign at the start of each level telling you the number of open standard spots and handicap spots on that level

Here’s a picture

You really need to check your ego. You keep thinking that I’m avoiding some discussion or debate with you or something. But you’re not even reading what I’m saying. I don’t care about your disingenuous question.

THE SECOND you put “so do nothing?” you weren’t interested in my thought. You just want to judge. That’s it. You want to be right and argue why you’re right. So I didn’t respond to your “so do nothing?” Because it isn’t genuine. I tried to explain that to you, but you still think I’m just avoiding “the question”.

What I mean is if you want to discuss with someone, don’t take a cynical comment and immediately apply nihilism if your intent is to learn and discuss. My intent wasn’t to learn and discuss. Neither was yours. Because you demand a response doesn’t mean you are entitled to anything. And if someone doesn’t want to stumble along your thinking path doesn’t mean they’re avoiding your judgemental question. It may, however, mean they’ve dismissed your question

But you jumped from “protests haven’t been effective” to “so don’t do anything?”

Reply to the “so don’t do anything?” jump straight to nihilism in response to suggestion that one route hasn’t been successful lately in the near military state? Like we’ve never heard of Occupy Wall Street, million women march, Antifa?

No I didn’t take it as a serious enough question. It was a judgement question, not a curiosity one. A curious question would have been “if you don’t think that works, what could be done instead?”

“But ok.”

I’ll get back to you after the next election
