He’s the “Diet Republican” brand of Democrat (most Democrats are but especially him), and people have already shown repeatedly that they arent interested in that.

People who want a Republican will vote for the real thing. People who don’t want a Republican will vote for someone else. He’s pandering to a crowd that doesn’t exist in any significant size.

It also wasn’t “less safe”, violent crime has been dropping for quite a while in most areas

Full time job, singular. I’ve known single parents who work two full-time jobs. Might be necessary for a variety of reasons. If they can financially work it out so they spend more time with their child and live below their means like you do, I 100% think that’s the smarter choice for their child’s wellbeing. But for some people it might not be feasible, for example if they have medical expenses or if they need to live near an older relative or tons of other reasons.

There is a record, but there’s no central database unless you get an MMIC card which is different than what probably 99.9% of people do (but also larger tax benenfits)

Less taxes in most places if you have a med card. Financially sensible if you buy a certain amount per year.

Most of this seems very serious and concerning, but…

Nexus also claimed to provide scans of marijuana dispensary cards

What could anyone possibly do with that? It costs like $50 to get one in California, not sure about other states.

Did you read the article? They were renting a car. A car rental place isn’t going to let you just not show your ID.

If we forced rich people to send their children to public schools, they would all move to public school districts in areas with housing too expensive for poor families to afford. That’s not a hypothetical, that’s just current reality.

The problem is rich people, not what options they do or do not have.

It’s been like half a decade (fuck, old) since I was in college but I never felt it had a particularly negative slant. Most good professors had very good ratings, the one actually-bad professor I took had a pretty bad rating (but she was the only one available for that class).

I always used it when signing up for classes, so even if it doesn’t influence individual educators, it’ll tell you who to avoid. Especially for valid critiques like “fills her lessons with AI slop”.

Pirating was illegal? When?

Go on ratemyprofessor and give her a low score. That actually does influence professors imo.

That’s going to require the working class seizing power. I think we’re working on that.

In a social capacity, that’s already happening. Look how many online communities ban AI slop and how many irl communities push back hard against new data centers.

Even the economic side of things is starting to question the AI narrative, but I think they’re playing along as we’ll have to acknowledge we’re in a huge recession when AI is exposed as vaporware.

Do you realize how many parents work two full-time jobs? A lot, especially single parents. It’s not as simple as “spend more time with your kids” when every ‘free’ moment you have is spent driving, preparing food, or doing basic chores / hygiene routines.

I’ve worked many warehouse and similar jobs. There are a lot of parents who really love their children and express that by allowing themselves to be economically exploited every single minute of their life to guarantee their children a better future.

Sure, there are also parents who just don’t give a shit and park their kids on an iPad, but that has always been the case in one form or another. The trend where even caring parents are unable to spend enough time with their children is a consequence of a society-wide failure and the shameless embrace of capitalism.

Public schools are. For high school, I went to a free online charter school. I received a substantially better education than my friends in the magnet public high school.

I get there are other problems with the whole ‘school choice’ debate, but my family was broke and I was still able to get a better education. That’s a plus imo and I’d recommend it to anyone.

Not worse than the people issuing their orders, which was kind of the point I think.

Too bad there’s no way to transmit electricity at range

You got downvoted but this is just true lol

(Fuck AI slop though)

Unless it’s Larry Ellison, or Elon Musk again, or one of the other many technofascist billionaires with money to burn in pursuit of social engineering.
