That’s what I’m looking for, is where the money came from. If it didn’t come from BLM donations or budget, if it came from her own work elsewhere, then it’s not a corruption story.

...and? She’s got a 2600 sqft 3/3 in LA. Yeah, it costs 1.4 mil. She spent “thousands” on the backyard? Good for her, I guess? Unless there’s something that indicates the money came from somewhere it shouldn’t have, maybe don’t just jump in on some NY Post article that includes the word “Marxist” in the first sentence…

Translation: if you didn’t look into rent compensation for landlords and mortgage relief, which is available in (for example) California, you should probably invest some time in doing that rather than complaining on Kinja.

Gotta find some way to pay Steven A. Smith to yell at millions of people. 

I’ll keep saying this until I’m blue in the face.

I’m still rocking an Ultragauge in my FJ Cruiser. The UG doesn’t want to die, its retro look (sort of?) matches the car, and I always have an OBD scanner with me wherever I go. I have scanned CELs for many folks wherever I happen to be.

Came here to say just as much. The whole idea of entertaining viewpoints outside of your own hinges on both sides acting in good faith. We have long ago lost the populist arm of the Republican party to extreme intolerance and bad faith. You could say the same about the more moderate/center Republicans if they don’t…

We have lots of preconceived notions of how people on the other side think, and a lot of them are misguided.

Are you sure about that? A lot of us have grown up with these people and watched them slowly turn from generally conservative to hardline reactionaries with fascist fantasies. I’ve asked this before on a similar…

“Sometimes appealing to those with whom you disagree isn’t worth it. For starters, feel free to ignore anyone who denies the reality of the pandemic, or who thinks the 2020 presidential election was rigged due to claims of rampant, unsubstantiated fraud.”

Three quarters of republicans believe Trump won the election. Who is it we’re supposed to have this reasonable, reality-based discussion with?

323,000 COVID victims should sit down with the GOP and Trump and hear their side of the story. Satisfy their curiosity. Oh, wait.

I’m better off not being gaslit by a bunch of fucking neo-Nazis, thanks.

Okay, recent example: I was listening to someone again state that COVID-19 had a 99.97% survival rate. I asked them where they got their numbers so I could learn what data they were using for that statement. I was called a libtard and told to fellate myself. Again, where there is no concept of shared reality, there is…

This was perhaps true 15 years ago. Maybe 10, if you’re generous. Not anymore. There is no discussion with an ideology whose core tenet seems to be “trigger the libs” above all else. There’s no compromise, no exchange of ideas, no “there” there. 

I know they have me flagged as a high “user”, as 90% of what I watch came off the bay until I got the TD invite. My dl’s haven’t really slowed, so they’re waiting to pounce whenever I do slide back over.

Fewer steps is the point of piracy in a lot of cases. It’s not about the money, it’s the pure convenience. And the money.

Let’s go over the FREE ways to watch WW84, as listed in this article:

1) Have HBO Max already (not free)
2) Have Hulu, and buy HBO Max (not free)
3) Have Youtube TV and buy HBO Max (not free)
4) Already be paying for HBO through your cable provider (not free)
5) Find a friend willing to share their HBO Max account with you…

The deals on the Burger King app are absurd. You can get combos with two Whoppers, drinks and fries for $8, when ordering the same items off the menu would cost you close to $20. Or you can get a double cheeseburger, fries and a drink for $3. I would have killed for a $3 fast food meal option back in college, and that…

My kid isn’t a professional gamer at competition. When I need him to shut a game off, he’s gonna press whatever button it takes so that the game stop. I don’t care if its the pause button, the home button, or the power button.
