This looks like the gear normally used by gangs that do text spam scams, what makes this exactly out of the range for a run of the mill criminal syndicate? Unless they have some other information that they're not sharing?

Oh FFS. Guess I'm just going back to piracy, somehow the most moral option.

Yeah, looks like it does, but it doesn't appear to have all the podcasts I follow on Spotify.

Yeah, I'll probably look at Deezer (if it also has podcast integration). The Spotify app has become more buggy and shit over the years anyway.

First band on my playlists that is actually removing their music. I'll probably need to look at an alternate service now. Or build my own service.

Of course, this is definitely not just Kamala, this is a Democratic leadership issue, has been since Carter. Biden would've faced the same issues.

It's definitely the core of the issue. Trump ran on cost of living issues and deporting immigrants (which is essentially a cost of living argument as well to a lot of people, even if empirically it's a policy that has an opposite effect).

Kamala ran on essentially upholding existing institutions, 'democracy' and hanging out with the people that got the US into the Iraq war.

A lot of people picked the lying conman over the person that didn't even promise to do the bare minimum. If the government doesn't work for the people (and granted, a lot of it is due to Republicans cynically sabotaging things at every level), people will vote to change it one way or another.

Raising half a billion more than Trump didn't do her a lot of good. Maybe next time a candidate should try running on what the people want instead of the donors.

Only when she's not running for anything.

I mean, if you're not trained for a dangerous task and your employer still requires you to do it, and you get hurt, there should definitely be consequences for that employer.

Distinction without a difference. If you're wearing the space diaper you're basically experiencing everything there is to experience about space.

Yep, and I don't know how he's planning on getting the Taliban to give that base back.
