And it does all the same bullshit airbnb does. Even if they have different policies (spoiler: they're the same) they cause the same problems related to using homes as profit machines for assholes.

Lol no they're not. Trump seized power in a legal coup. They support the constitution and the constitution says Trump is POTUS. Short of a military coup, they will continue to do his bidding and be formed by Goebbels's propaganda.

One side is a cult that was partially created through a coalition with the gun nuts. The other is a bunch of punks who hate society and are usually impoverished. Which one owns more guns per capita?

It's going to be a Rwandan style civil war. Your MAGA neighbor will kick in your door and shoot you and your wife in the face when told to do so by Fox.

It doesnt waive that fee because it is a federally required fee to be applied to all vehicles regardless of their... destination. Uhg.

If I drink the blue potion, I get tingly and my skin starts sloughing off. Must be the cobalt.

Yeah that part blows ass. My solution for now is an appletv. They at least don't shove ads down your throat and their main business models are not based on collecting user data for advertising or databroker purposes (looking at you, google).

I've been planning to do the same thing when our current batch of TVs kick the bucket. But I was going to use an appletv, not a NUC, because all of the streaming services only serve 2k through browsers but their apps can get 4k+. And for the rest I'll run jellyfin and serve from my home media server. The TV will never see the a valid internet connected network.

Recently my roku tv started showing a blaringly loud auto-play ad on the homepage once every 2-3 weeks. FUCK THAT.

They make more money from those continued sales through their app store and commercials. I've heard (on reddit news articles posted to r/technology, so not exactly the most reliable source) more than the profit for the initial sale of the tv because they actually subsidize the initial price and may sell it at a loss to get those ads in your livingroom.

I get the feeling these will be dominated by manosphere podcasts and testosterone supplements.

They've got aluminum frames and aren't strong enough to hold me. The TV should've known!

I get it. Generally people don't want to offend someone without due cause. And so we traipse around each other's idiosyncrasies. For the most part that is fine.

The problem comes from making a policy of it. People will say what they will say. Does that cause reputational harm if they say certain words? Sure. No one can stop you from changing how you feel about someone based upon their actions. But you can't stop them from saying it.

Let's go straight to the source. Let's talk about the N word. If you see someone in public use that word perjoratively - then you will probably consider them to be a bad person. You may even tell other people "That person said the N word and they are bad because of it." And that would be perfectly fine.

But what you can't do is tell them not to say it. Because it is their freedom to be a piece of shit and to say awful things and to demean and hurt others with their words. So if Joe Rogan wants to say stupid shit, let him. We all know he's an idiot.

Oh yeah... idiot used to have a clinical meaning too, you know. But I guess according to you I can't say that either.
