Same. I came on with the original Google play music. I can't believe that was nearly 13 years ago... Oh how I miss Google play music.

IIRC they sold and shipped 2 generations of CPUs that were essentially defective and unrepairable.

As someone who voted 3rd party in 2016, I very much regret it. It was a wasted vote and helped Trump get in office. The very same thing can happen again. Don't get me wrong, I hate that Biden is the candidate. I hated it in 2020 as well. The Democratic party is a joke when it comes to putting up candidates. Until we aren't a two party system, we have to vote for the lesser of two evils with a plausible chance of winning. If not and Trump wins again, we will only move backwards again. It felt like we took two steps backwards and a half step forward.

How we can generate change is by starting at the local level. Ranked choice voting has already begun at many local level elections. We need to campaign for this and for candidates that can make that happen.

I absolutely love that haha.

You guys who? I used to vote Republican... I'm an independent voter who wants a political reform of ranked choice voting, removing the 2 party system, etc... I only vote Democrat now because the GOP shoved their foot so far up their ass showing their true colors.

The GOP went full orange cult. They're now hell bent on taking rights away and decide to vote against anything positive for their constituents as long as it is under the name of opposing democrats. They used to be the party of small government. Now they want to control everything and remove only regulations that 'stop profit.' They're not even close to being the same party they used to be.

Except the GOP has already started doing those things... It's not like this is coming out of nowhere. I hate the DNC but hate facism a whole lot more so the choice is clear.

I believe he specifically said it during one of the debates. I really wish he would have followed through with it.

I agree. I feel like many people aren't testing. I had it very mild in June of 2023. I thought it was allergies but tested and sure enough; positive. My fiance thought she had a cold in November of 2023 but decided to test and it was positive. Meanwhile all these people around us have "colds" but aren't actually testing. I somehow escaped it when my fiance had it so I got a booster last month hoping I can escape this wave and help cut the spread.

Same here. I left for about 10 years but started coming back gradually a few years ago. After everything that happened this year, I made the full switch to Mozilla on all my devices. I'm very happy to be back though!

As a small business owner: nothing. My employees have been extremely productive being able to work from home. We already drive more than the average job. Driving to the office just watses time and money for everyone. We use our office now for storage more than anything else.

I remember it as well. That's when I started buying unlocked phones and rooting them to get around having to pay. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out there wasn't a fee anymore. I really hope that having to pay for hotspot isn't coming back.
