Did anyone else's parents tell them when they were growing up that it you put a coin on the tracks you could derail the train?

Yeah.... About that...

I'm going to throw in a sleeper pick and recommend the Motorola Edge 2025.

I'm still running the 2023 version and I dare anyone to tell me the difference between that series at 700 or so versus a 1000 dollar Samsung.

The reality is that once you pass the 600 dollar mark, your primary difference is whether the phone uses Snapdragon or Mediatek chipsets. And the people who tell you that make any kind of regular use difference outside of heavy gaming are flat out lying to you.

Save your money. Motorola is the last company that is seemingly still trying to price their products sanely rather than chasing Apples policy of "charge as much as we can until people say no"

I wouldn't have included Ivanka in the list of people with mar-a-lago face.

Yes, she's clearly had work done, but she's not misshapen like Loomer or Noem.

Hell, compared to them, her work is positively normal.

Correction. You're just one glorpdelorp

Because I'm a dirty commie who believes in the adage "give a brick, get a house".

Something that is built by a community will always survive longer than a corporate profit-motive alternative.

If one instance turns to crap, there will always be others to fill the gap. It's the same reason most FOSS software exists, because the community wants it too. As long as there are people that are enthusiastic about something, they'll keep it around as long as they have the tools to do so (source code). That is the ultimate power of Federation and of FOSS in general; it was built by humans, for humans for motives that are separate from profit.

If Gimp went away tomorrow, someone would fork it the very next day because they want to keep using it. If a Fediverse instance gets filled with nazis tomorrow, someone will create a new instance the very next day and people will move to that and then defederate from the hateful one.

I firmly believe that if humanity is to have a future, this is the way that it has to be, and I'm going to champion that mentality everywhere I can.

Ford rarely AFIAK speaks about politics or beliefs. He's super private in that way. So for him to open his mouth about this is actually pretty troubling.

Unpopular opinion, but as unpopular as Charlie Kirk was, I'd put up with a dozen of him if it meant that this asshole got kirked instead.

They ALL know what's going on with Trump. But keeping quiet protects their own priviledge for as long as possible. They don't give a shit if he's coming for everyone else, as long as they're one of the last people standing.

If there's ever a link I will never press....

I'm generally a pretty stoic guy. I don't get "creeped out" by much. But there are two things that never fail to invoke a creepy unsettling feeling in me.

1. A toddler skull with all of their teeth. Shit's just terrifying even though I know it's natural.
2. There's an old black and white clip of an eyeball being sliced into with a straight razor that just makes me shudder every time.

"Mistakenly"

read as: "Illegals are bad except the ones that work for me."

It would enable him to start fucking his daughter, or Laura Loomer.

Marriage has never stopped him before. I wouldn't expect it would now.
