the difference between me and a liberal is im more then happy to take direct action. I’ll do whatever it takes to fight fascism [...] with the ballet box

in left wing circles most leftists only pretended not to vote

Not sure if you can have it both ways. How do you take "direct action at the ballot box" while also only pretending to withold your vote?

You don't have to thank me.

Pickles. They were too strong and sour for me. Now I love 'em.

These "moderators" should be ashamed of themselves. They couldn't be more transparently treating one participant with kid gloves and letting him talk as much as he wants.

It's what I expected, but I am still disappointed.

Any politician want to make an argument against abortion that doesn’t involve “muh faith”?

I live in NC and have unfortunately been exposed to this guy's campaign ads on several occasions. While his religion is definitely a factor in his policies, there's also just good old-fashioned misogyny. He regularly frames abortions as only being necessary because women "can't keep their legs closed" and crap like that.

And that's barely scratching the surface. If you want the abridged version, check out his Wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Robinson_(American_politician)#Political_views_and_remarks

The guy is a total nutjob.

Depends on the particular device. LDAC has been around for years and supports higher bitrates than mp3s (assuming we're putting 320kbps mp3s in the "higher quality" category)

Does anyone else hate Nickelback, Coldplay, Justin Bieber, Billie Eilish, and Maroon 5? Upvotes to the left

I really enjoyed watching this series a while back by Ben Eater:

"Building an 8-bit Breadboard Computer"

It explains a lot of the steps in the rocks-to-computer pipeline in detail. It assumes decent familiarity with electronics fundamentals, though. So maybe not the best starting point.
