LostInLoDOS ( profile ), 20 Aug, 2023 @ 08:03pmYou don’t need to lie to make a point. I clearly stated there were many other options to use first. And he should have used them. Republicans tend to disagree with you. Caused by forest mismanagement? Combined with the fact that prior to 1900 wildfires were quite normal across the US. If you build in the known path of wild fires, you get burned. If you build on a flood plane or below sea level, you get flooded. If you build in the path of tornadoes, you get them. All these things happened before the combustion engine was invented. And don’t tell me about the, ghastly, 80 mile an hour winds in SoCal today. The north eastern plains and hartland get that every few days with torrential rains. 2023, 1923, 1823, 1723, 1623… Little has changed. Wow, American entitlement. Spend a week in much of the world. Where aircon is rare and people survive just fine. Today as they did 10 years ago. And 100 years ago. I’ve spent considerable time in much hotter weather than the US gets without aircon. Common sense will keep you alive. Billions of people live long healthy lives never knowing aircon. And that line shows the underlying reality of your idea. It’s not about save the planet. Which doesn’t need saving. It’s about maintaining personal comfort. Tell me who is really selfish. You make the point that the NYT made this weekend about US travelers to Europe, in showing how pampered so many in this country are. Complaining about no ice water and how even when you find the rare location with aircon on its “…not US on”. I give a fuck. I just won’t bend over backwards to defend selfish stupidity and liberal pampering. -

LostInLoDOS ( profile ), 20 Aug, 2023 @ 07:38pmAnd who do you think they’d vote for
Generally, non-party. 3rd party. And yes, we are friends despite my vote for Trump. See, some things are more important to some people than others. Trump wasn’t going to lock you up for wearing a dress.They’re doing a better job than Republicans
We’ll just completely disagree and move on. I think the leadership of both parties has zero care for anyone except the top. They just have different ways of making sure their donors stay rich. And the poor stay poor and dependent. And what is it with the liberal need for taxing. We don’t need to tax anyone more. In fact we could cut all taxes if we stopped wasting money in other countries. That 4 billion to Ukraine could have put $10 in the pocket of each American. That’s the math. The real cost of our stupid pointless spending abroad. And maybe if we stopped wasting all that money on others we wouldn’t have any poverty here. Less than 20% of national spending is in country. So don’t talk to me about caring about others. Your party and the Republicans both don’t represent me. Sending bombs and tanks and jets and missiles isn’t humanitarian. It’s psychotic. Here’s a bit of a reality note for you, 7/:10 running libertarian party members historically have supported universal free healthcare and education from birth to death. Just because I don’t support stealing from successful people doesn’t make me not care. It makes me one of those people that want to focus on our country in ways that don’t punish people for being successful. And doesn’t reward dictators around the world for licking the American bum. -

LostInLoDOS ( profile ), 20 Aug, 2023 @ 06:07pmI know quite a few non-straight people. Including what dems term as trans. HE happens to be gay and prefers effeminacy. Not delusional thoughts about that. Bi, and lesbian. both identify as tomboy. I myself am not linked to any sexual orientation or prescribe. I simply don’t care. But in reality the Democrat party isn’t looking out for the poor. They take from the haves and create a perpetual cycle of trickle down sustaining poverty through dependence. There is no escape from poverty when the very actions of giving raise the cost of everything out of reach of the bottom. Taxing for social support doesn’t work. Taxes go up, payments get larger, taxes go up, payments get larger…. What you call sociopaths, I call normal order. The way life is. Every species is. You care for your personal survival and that of your family. Follows by tribe and clan. Then community. If any time is left, any energy is left, you consider the wider world around you. Otherwise you die off.

LostInLoDOS ( profile ), 20 Aug, 2023 @ 05:49pmNot according to the investigation into her death
Lmao. These are the same people who think it’s acceptable to shoot a 1 pound ball if for, miss the damn dog, and shoot a person 20 meters away by accident, all under qualified immunity. Did they use pepper spray? Taser? Bean bag rounds? Stun rounds? No, the idiot cop had a panic attack and murdered a trespasser.What else would you call a riot
Criminal dissidents. Having a few dozen insurrectionists doesn’t an insurrection make. OKC was an insurrectionist, not an insurrection. Texas, Miami, etc. stop giving the idiots a platform.This is exactly what is happening
And yet we have fantastic claims of incitement?Or do you think
I have never supported slavery. But I remind you how few slave holders there were at the outbreak of the civil war. Less than 20 registered. One of them was black. 18 were democrats. 2 were in the north. Slavery was just about a dead practice before the civil war, and would have been outlawed without the war. I have a problem with forced labour in prison in this country. So don’t you dare say I turn a blind eye, let alone support, the process. We will never agree on climate change. Not only do I say climate change is real, I say so what. You look in lifespan time frames. I look at 5 billion years of reality. The only difference humans have on the natural cycle of planetary weather is it’s a bit warmer and wetter today. Then without humans. This would have been a discussion in 2120. Rather than 2020. Primates of intelligence have been alive since a time when Florida and most of Mexico were under water. Alive when you could walk across Alaska to Russia due to ocean water loss in glaciers. And here we are today. Humans have an absolute minimal effect on global environment. Global warming, even ever so slightly accelerated, is not apocalyptic, It’s normal. Whilst you cry in fear for California and Florida, I see the other aspects. A green sub-tropical Serengeti. Lush mangrove across Central Europe. The swamp oasis of Central America. Wonders of wild life across Siberian grass lands. FYI, it’s happened more times than we can accurately count. Stop reading doom and gloom. Miami isn’t going to sink in a weekend. Slow rise in temperatures will create movement among all animals. The earth will continue to turn as it always has. Life will carry on. Old species die. New ones appear. We adjust to weather. Like all life does. We adapt or we die out. So what. That’s the way it works. -

LostInLoDOS ( profile ), 20 Aug, 2023 @ 05:14pmThe only people I ever see calling for Civil War II to happen are people on your side of the political aisle
Sadly that’s true. Too many republicans want a violent response to legislative stupidity. Unfortunately the Dems just want to lock up anyone who disagrees with them. Then there’s us, the rest of the population. Many of us simply want the end of the “Union”. Most of us call for a UK style end. We tried. It never worked in the first place. And it’s probably best for everyone to simply end it and move on. The “union” ended the day federal troops illegal invaded a sovereign state and commenced the wholesale theft of weapons and munitions. Not over “security, As claimed by Lincoln, But over refusal in taxation. The munitions stolen being the very weapons used to defend the state’s shores from rampant piracy that the federal navy had ignored. The navy being tasked with enforcing lopsided trade restrictions against Europe (and against the south) by cannon point. The Union is dead. Today the cities of SoCal and NewYork dictate over the population as an illicit king. There is no freedom, no justice. No ability for honest and equal representation. What’s interesting is every time a state attempts to restructure, the city population say no and blocks it. Maybe it’s not so interesting. After all. -

LostInLoDOS ( profile ), 20 Aug, 2023 @ 04:51pmLet’s be honest, she was guilty of criminal trespass. Vandalism? Breaking and entry. The use of deadly force was excessive.
…How’d all those predictions pan out, son?
May I remind you that there was no “insurrection” blaming thousands of peaceful protestors for non existent crimes because a few dozen climbed walls and broke windows and doors There was no insurrection. There was (a) small number of insurgent(s) among the peaceful crowd. Punish the actual criminals with proper sentencing and the country needs to move on: not make up fantastical fabrications.he can’t snap his fingers and make everything better on his own
But it would help if he actually acknowledged anything in reality. Millions are illegally crossing the second largest unpatrolled land border known as the world. Armed militias, the cartels, are killing US citizens on US soil. Rather than round them up and send them back, we feed, clothe, shelter them. Biden is illicitly, and possibly illegally, auctioning off parts of the wall supplies for pennies on the dollar. All this while sending billions to a genocidal tyrant whose only goal is to kill anyone that doesn’t bow to his will… in his fight against a tyrant who’s only goal is to kill anyone who doesn’t bow to his will. Great mess to get involved in there. -

LostInLoDOS ( profile ), 18 Aug, 2023 @ 11:12pmJust like I never complained over the peaceful actions of BLM, I have zero complaints about the many thousands of peaceful protestors on Jan 6. Just like I call for the death penalty for the terrorists that firebombed a a federal court house (an actual act of treason), I say there are a few people from Jan 6 protests that may deserve some stiff penalties. Just like there are idiots who think racism is a “systemic” issue today (it’s not, there are small pockets of like minded groups, and a random sampling in the general population) … yeah clearly a few freaks figured that Trump made some non existent cry for violence. Yes, I agree even that there are 3 truly deserving of being tried for terrorism on Jan 6. But for many, there are real questions on the 2020 election. Not result changing questions, but major issues that MUST be addressed and SOLVED! Facts: multiple postal offices did not change the stamp date (or rolled back the stamp date) for ballots. Ow, generally this ballots were IN THE BUILDING on time, and with those I generally agree with the intent of backdating. But in one case ballots arriving in trucks after midnight were back dated. Those should have been set aside. The Supreme Court would have to decide if they are to be counted or not. Fact, ballots were dumped randomly throughout the country in batches again not enough to change the election. In actuality most of those ballots were recovered and counted. Fact, ballots were counted in every state without the direct oversight of poll watchers. Be it too far away to read the ballots or ballots counted without them present. Fact, people voted as other people. As is usual, dozens of reported false votes occurred. People try to vote and are turned away because they “already voted” Look, we NEED to deal with the ID issue. We need to join 92% of countries in the world and offer a free, or free-for-most, national identification. And that should and must be used for voting. There were major issues with the system. The biggest, most important, is the volume of states that voted 100% illegally. State legislature sets voting methods. Not a governor. Any state where the governor modified voting methods without the legislative process invalidated the entirety of that states federal vote. We can argue all day (and I’d probably generally agree with you) about the how and why. But by the letter of the law, states had no legal basis for voting at all in the 2020 election. The stolen election issue would not be an issue if we had legitimately secured elections. From identification to transport. To the point of count. Jan 6 would likely not have happened at all if Democrats too a few minutes to actually, logically, address any of these issues. It’s not that the results were winner-changing… it’s that there are legitimate concerns. When they are shoved aside and ignored, the room for conspiracy theory is huge. Look, I don’t even like Trump. He’s an old misogynist arse. With some very wild ideas on fairly normal things. But, he wasn’t Clinton. He offered to secure the border, reduce international involvement, pull troops home, and invest in American infrastructure. All things I support on the top of my list. He did, or attempted to do, everything on that list. We can argue the “lest” list till we are blue and dead. You see all bad, I see 70/30 good. We have no ability to vote for someone who only agrees with us. For 99.9% of the population that would only be ourselves. I do not regret my choice in 16/20. Nor my choice of Obama in 8/12. My cote for Bush 2 in 2004. For Perot throughout the 90s. Etc. I made my choice based on what was important to me. The way everyone should. I accept the benefits come with consequences as well.

LostInLoDOS ( profile ), 18 Aug, 2023 @ 04:57pmAnd most of those are either fascist pipe dreams
Really? 87% support in the tristate plan in the north west (of those looking to separate from the coast) is hardly a pipe dream. Note is it fascist. It’s about the majority of two states by area not paying taxes for unrelated internally created failed policy in two cities.Think about that for a minute.
Yes, I support self defence. When you point a gun in a car and say get out, I fully support the driver pointing a gun back and blowing the CRIMINAL’s brains out. Carjacking me will be the last time you car jack anyone. I fully support that. And don’t hide that.politics. But if the major cities shouldn’t get to control every little bit of what happens in the rural areas, the inverse should hold true as well
Finally something rational. I don’t totally agree. But it’s rational. The problem is those 10% of area are 100% dependent on the 90% of the country. If farms simply went poof gone, the cities would not survive. The inverse is not true. If cities went poof gone, farms, the 90# of the country, would carry on just fine. As I have discussed before in the various attempts in California for the state leaving the union, the 49 remaining states would carry on just fine. Cali is NOT a vital resource. They may be the current largest supplier of a few minor crops. Oranges, nuts, grapes, avocados. All of which could quickly be set up in other states quite easily within two years. However, California would not survive alone in a split if it were just central and southern, costal, California. These are facts. Not opinion. Well researched and documented facts. The 10% of land the cities occupy are completely dependent on the rest of the country. I have no loyalty to either party. Because while you talk of trickle down economics not working, the democrats are just as intent on the idea. Tax the rich to the point of poverty. It’s forced trickle down. That doesn’t work either. Yet the democrats are attempting to take my ability to feed my family? While ignoring the weapon used in 99% of all gun crime? i remember one of the reasons I supported, and worked for, the Obama campaigns. Border security. Reduced international involvement was another key for me. He wasn’t an isolationist, but he definitely campaigned on less. Clinton was a globalist. I’ll take national defence any day. Even if that means voting against the social platforms I support. Sadly, neither party is going to solve anything. So maybe a breakup of the union is due. Ever wonder why democrats are 99% against the rural breakaway? Because they understand they would suddenly be stuck in their own mess they created with their crap policies that are dependent on the rural population and designed to never allow the poor to progress. Cities like New York and a Chicago are prime examples of how tax first methods fail. People simply leave the city lines for purchasing. When the state becomes a tax problem people go over the border or move. Notice the mass exodus from California, New York, and Illinois? If something doesn’t change the union will fail, violently. But it won’t last long. Cities will build walls to stop the invasions they expect that will never happen and the rural population will simply send enough equipment to make sure they stay Inside their walls. Mi don’t know if that is better or not. But I can’t see rural population ever j caring the city. Though the city will eventually become unsustainable and then has a choice. Proper barter, or force. And if the democrats in cities continue to try force, by tax and law today, by gunpoint in a broken union, they will loose every time. It’s time, past, for the democrats to dump the progressive wing and embrace the neo-socialism of the new breed. And yes, it’s time for the republicans to dump the small far right populace of militant brain dead Christian nationalists. Both Obama and Trump were non-partisan outsiders. Both made the same mistakes of embracing the party banner and extremes during their run. Trump isn’t a racist, he had one of the most diverse executives in history. He simply didn’t denounce the far right. And Obama wasn’t a communist. He simply didn’t denounce the Clintonian movement. But the country whole is now stuck fighting fake nonsense against each other. Neither racism nor communism are of any real concern in this country. It’s high time the media across the board stop pushing fake inventions of division. Rural communities aren’t mad at cities because of race. They’re mad about lopsided taxes and ignorant regulations, and criminal expansion. Very few people outside of politics are against free education and healthcare. We fight the method of funding. We don’t NEED to raise taxes to put 1000 cash in every pocket monthly. With lifetime free healthcare and lifetime free education. We could do that easily by reducing our funding for NATO to our percentage of count. And cutting aid to foreign civil wars. I’ve said before, despite your ignorant beliefs in a relation to personal opinions and choice in vote… you have good ideas. We agree on more than you give thought to. Maybe if the population stopped watching the tv news and started talking outside of politics, we could actually discuss politics and not political affiliation. Our country is on the brink of a massive disruption, if it doesn’t dissolve into chaos outright. -

LostInLoDOS ( profile ), 18 Aug, 2023 @ 04:10pmFine a single place where I have ever complained about the democrat’s challenges in 16, or 2004, or 2000. They don’t exist. A few times I’ve said it’s stupid. As I say it’s stupid the Republicans did it in 20. But it /is/ part of the process. But it is the right to challenge.
That you don’t see the storming of the Capitol
Yes I did. A few dozen people broke in and charged up the stairwell. Broke into offices and entered the floor area. All criminal trespassers. A few a bit worst, such as theft and vandalism.That’s only because they didn’t get what they wanted
I’m a stickler for the law, no matter how stupid a law may be. If you don’t like it, push for change or become a politician and change it yourself.stochastic terrorism
Ah, grow up. Attempts at inciting rarely stick anywhere in this country. For a reason. People are responsible only for the physical actions they take. Nobody can be incited to do anything they do not choose to do of their own free will. Trump is not responsible for action he did not specifically state to partake in. And even there, the absolute best you get is conspiracy, if he plainly made such statements. Nobody heals a gun to anyone’s head and said break the windows and enter. Nobody kidnapped family at threats of torture. There was no incitement. Nor threat upon those that broke the law of their own willingness. -

LostInLoDOS ( profile ), 18 Aug, 2023 @ 02:24pmThe only thing you have in that reply is electors. And since they weren’t charged there is no legal question to answer. The right to challenge is enshrined in the process. Sorry. Not sorry. In fact the only thing you have is the few dozen that broke into the capital. All of who I agree should be charged for the crimes they committed. But I see no call for violence. In fact even most democrats have backed off of such claims. Those few who continue to push that invented narrative should probably see a therapist. You’re inventing something that didn’t happen. When you see hidden messages in things you need help buddy. That’s not normal.

LostInLoDOS ( profile ), 18 Aug, 2023 @ 01:51pmMaybe. But not wholly wrong. Here’s the thing so many democrats today, and republicans of the past, forget… we are NOT a single country. We are a republic of self governing states (countries) bound by a representative republican union. We are the prototype of the EU and USSR. That we have lasted as long as we had in our union is impressive. We are at the end. The calls for changes and divisions in state lines are loud and clear today. California splitting in two or three. Oregon and Washington looking to join Idaho and dump the cities in the west coast. Illinois looking to jettison Chicago. New York dumping the south east corner. Now Florida residents are considering dumping the southern tip. But such changes require ratification at the federal level. And the current power structure would quash that. Central and Southern California have stood in the way of peaceful division multiple times in the last decade and a half. Armed civil conflict is closer today than ever. The tiny footprint mega populations are dominating over the majority of the country. Despite living in 10% of it. People like ST Stone say land doesn’t vote. No. But when a single city has more voting power than most states, something is wrong with the structure. The country is fed up. The differences are irreconcilable.

LostInLoDOS ( profile ), 18 Aug, 2023 @ 01:24pmDemocrats put forth a slate of alternative electors. You ignore that. Democrats votes against counting votes. You ignore that. Democrats protested at the capital. You ignore that The only difference here between 15 and 20 is that a) a few dozen people actually broke into the capital, and b) someone was artistic enough to create a mockup non-functioning gallows. You didn’t complain about the signs of crosshairs on Trump images or a bloody head photoshop from a failed comedian.

…he didn’t need to directly call for violence
Not only did be not call for violence, he, certainly called for peaceful protest multiple times. That a few dozen here and there out of many thousands of protestors were violent is on the criminals that were violent, not a president that called for peace.Dude, do you think atheists were advising Donald Trump?
Um, well, he did have a meeting with members of the Freedom From Religion Foundation. I don’t see you complaining about the connection between Biden and Clinton with the Nation Of Islam.trying to rewrite American history so that slavery doesn’t seem so bad
When exactly did that happen? Wasn’t Trump. And if you want to make such a claim point to factual evidence. There’s a difference between arguing against the 1619 nonsense and saying slavery‘wasn’t that bad’.Does trickle-down economics actually work
No. I never said it did. But unlike you I don’t support stealing people’s money just because you disagree with how much they have. Or should have. Show me a Democrat that actually supports a social daft net and base security income for all and I’ll gladly look at if their other, often nonsense when not dangerous, ideas are worth ignoring.Who is responsible for the successful effort to undo Roe v. Wade
The Supreme Court. Who rightfully pushed the situation back to the states absent a congressional act.fake
Alternative. The exact same thing multiple democrats did following the 2016 election.filing court cases
As is their right. I remember a large group of democrats filing lawsuits about 20 years ago… over equal nonsense.finding
Read the transcript. Don’t be a moron.Land doesn’t vote. People do.
And you are going to tell me that what happens in a city is exactly what should happen on a farm. A person in a city has no business regulating what happens on a farm. Or a field. Or a forest. And a single city has no right to diminish the life of the entirety of a state based on a few dozen square miles of people living on top of each other.like people
You left out the black power groups that want to crush all white people. The thieves that want to steal money from anyone who has more than them. The hitters that think it’s acceptable to force a 15 year old BOY, that is a primate with a penis, into a girls shower room. That wish ti erase anything they don’t agree with from the internet. That want to force medical treatment on those unwilling. That tossed the elderly into death traps during covid. That refused to restrict travel from the source country of the weaponised virus. Both parties suck. One may suck more for certain people than the other. And the other sucks more than one for some. But both suck. Until someone comes along with a social agenda that involves cutting wasted foreign spending and involvement in other’s wars, puts our country and its people first, and protects our country from invasion… I will continue to vote for what ever person is a) most isolationist, and/or b) most likely to be disruptive to the system. -

Huh? Feel free to prove that with facts. Requiring yourself to prove you are who you say you are when doing something as vital as, oh, VOTING, doesn’t count. Let’s not forget how many actual crimes that prosecutor ignored. When you don’t do your job, you should relieved. I’m no fan of DeSantis: he’s a christian militant. One whose real world actions make the invented nonsense tossed about Trump look tame. But really, what’s the point. Tim is a progressive. They want a large (Democratic party) government dictating how every person will think and act take from the Haves by force and hand it to the have nots, rather than actually cut spending on crap like Ukraine and wind mills. Progressives are just as much a problem in this country as militant christians. And progressives aren’t interested in democracy, OR freedom. Just look at the comment on the EC. Removing it would allow 10% of the land owners (city residents) to dictate how those in 90% of the country live their lives. That’s no better than the far right. -

On the post: The Enshittification Of Streaming Accelerates With Price Hikes, More Password Sharing Crackdowns
LostInLoDOS ( profile ), 17 Aug, 2023 @ 01:22pmReiterated
I will say again what I sad back then in the early streaming explosion. What many at the time, even here, had said. Too many platforms. We need MOrE consolidation in streaming, it less. The solution is third party access by removing distribution from production. Amazon is the largest streaming provider. It has nearly zero pure Amazon Exclusives thankfully most of NetFlix Exclusives are not exclusive but foreign content available elsewhere to those willing to look. Such as Eros, NHK, Celestial. Etc I have no problem with companies having their own products but should be required to join a separate pool as well. Netflix is toying with 3rd party channels right now. And having two services offering paid addons would be great. The other big issue with modern streaming is copyright. Companies are tossing material on the site for a week and then dumping it. Copyright really needs to be use it, transfer it, or loose it. Not so much as it becomes public domain but that it drops to a set price ($100 per film?) or an auction ($1 starting now) and any company can then buy distribution rights. If it’s off the platform for x days (a year?) the distribution right falls to bidding.

GTA online is dependent on the methodology of mission packs, equipment sales, Micro purchases… And making sure everyone has the exact same set of parameters makes sense. But when modding offline play, there’s no reason aside from a power trip to ban mods. I’m an old gamer in my methods. First you beat the game. Then you track down the cheat codes and have extra expansionary fun. And I don’t do much in online play in the first place. So I fully understand both sides of this issue. Personally I say mod offline, and flip a built in vanilla switch for online.

Mad Magazine? Was now basically a cult following. Sorry if you liked it, that happens. Many magazine I used to read disappeared in the past decade. HBO isn’t gone, it’s rebranded The problem for HBO/MAX was not the merger. It was the price increase. The majority of Max subscribers are via Amazon Prime. When you nearly double the monthly fee and reduce content at the same time, People find the content elsewhere. Add to that that what made the channels so popular in the 80s and 90s never made it to streaming. And yes, new content being axed quickly…
