It's like people who only ever decide to listen to the radio while driving around. Dude, we've had the ability to play our CDs with cassette adapters, we've had the ability to play cassettes in our cars and things have gotten twice as better the day the IPod came and mass MP3 support through USB happened.

There is no excuse as to why no one can't just plug in their media device or use Spotify or something. If you continue to listen to the radio, you have no stance to complain about the music.

Two sides on this one.

On one hand, it would be fucking nice for some platforms to be held liable whenever doxxing happens. Because I can tell you, nothing good ever comes out of being doxxed. It would also mean that, people like Spez would have to run around the clock, sanitizing Reddit because he knows a lot of shit happens on that platform every day. In this sense, I would love Section 230 to be sunsetted.

The other hand, if this is going to be projected as a means to illegalize the expression against politicians and the US government, they're now stepping on a clear violation of the first amendment. Onslaught of lawsuits and contests incoming that would give politicians headaches.

You blocked them for a reason.

Well, it would really suck for the millions who are in customer service/retail. You've essentially made them homeless and struggling even more than they were before.

I wish anyone who has idealistic thoughts of protesting like this, would think things thoroughly. Seems like protesting in general, it's just about do action now, thinking almost never.

They cared when they wanted votes, but now that you've got them in, they don't give a fuck about you.

When will these idiots learn?

Even if you're right, why the fuck add in unnecessary features to a simple word program?

6,700 firings - 82,990 total = 76,290 left.

DOGE has access to nuclear codes DOGE has access to all medical records DOGE has access to everything

And we should know that we expected Musk to have access to everything because Trump allows it. But, they're allowing a 19-year old, with connections to hacker groups, with access.

The whole discipline of not sharing information online is practically moot at this point. How can we trust that this kid won't be sharing this kind of information to his connections?

Yeah but who the hell is going to step up and actually try to stop him? The populace is divided as ever, they can't come together to agree that one guy's totalitarian nature is destroying their livelihoods in all political fields.

Foreign nations are starting to realize that they may well just be on their own because Trump can't give a single shit to support or engage in peaceful negotiations.

All republican branches of government are bootlickers who say bold things but will not budge.

Congress seems to just sit there.

Democrats seem to only just shout things and threaten authority but to someone who has proven to not address or even acknowledge authority, what good would that all do?

Distractions. You need a lot of them. Good company. Good hobbies. Something.

It is never a great idea to let your mind wander off for too long, because it'll go places you wouldn't want it to and you'll sometimes just be held down by it.
