- Comment on If Orange Dickhead dies before taking his oath again will sucession still be applicable? Like Vance the new pres and Johnson the new VP? 3 days ago:
i remember looking that stuff up before… iirc, vance would not enter the line of succession until the congressional count of electoral votes in early january.
- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 5 days ago:
the haters, the racists, the sexists, the homophobes, the gun fondlers, the diesel fume huffers, and the bible thumpers vote repulbican every. single. time.
too many democrats jump ship and stay home, vote for the no chance party, or republican if a candidate doesn’t support every little policy and issue they want or who supports something they don’t. even if the fate of the nation and democracy is at stake, they’ll abandon reason.
- Comment on Never change, Internet. Check out his new title 6 days ago:

- Comment on Could Joe Biden use his remaining time as president of the US to do away with presidential pardons? 2 weeks ago:
pardon is a power granted by the constitution.
states are, for the most part, in control of their own election process.
biden can’t do a thing about either. and anything he does on his own, such as via executive order, will just be undone on dictator day.

- Comment on Robert Zemeckis wants to make another Back to the Future movie (with a twist) 2 weeks ago:
if the franchise was disney’s, it already would have been done, and it wouldn’t have taken til 2021 to get it on stage in the first place, either.
- Comment on Many TV stations put a banner ad in the picture these days 2 weeks ago:
programs with tickers often have something on a portion of it, especially sporting events. at least it’s only a program promo and not a flashy animated thing for a prescription drug or something.

- Comment on Disney lost nearly a third of a billion dollars on two Marvel movies 1 month ago:
this only accounts for box office take. when you add in streaming, tv and other broadcast rights, home video, merchandising. they won’t be ‘losing money’ on these two ‘bombs’.
- Comment on Google now requires JavaScript 1 month ago:
lol. nope. not happening. that’s not how to get me to even think about using your search again (having quit over a decade ago).
- Comment on Why do radio stations all seem to go on commercial at the same time? 2 months ago:
frequency of station id are mandated, i don’t think the exact times of them are.
the real reason they all seem to go on ‘break’ at the same time is there’s only a few companies that own most the radio stations. they aren’t dummies. they know if they all go on breaks at about the same time, then people switching stations still land on ads… and it might still be theirs.
- Comment on Chrome will block one of its biggest ad blockers 3 months ago:
if google cared, they’d vet ads and ad links, and guarantee their safety and security.
if google cared, they’d put a stop to seo ‘optimizers’ and scammers scoring top positions on serps.
but google doesn’t care about anything other than their profits and share price.
- Comment on Chrome will block one of its biggest ad blockers 3 months ago:
i did read somewhere that affected chrome users are being presented with alternatives from the chrome extension ‘store’ that are mv3-ready.
whether or not they’re capable of clicking the right buttons on the right screens and windows to do it is another story.
ubo, abp and adguard all have mv3 variants. there are others, but i think those are the ‘big three’. ublock origin lite is what i’ve been moving people to here, if not to firefox. so far, so good.
- Comment on Chrome will block one of its biggest ad blockers 3 months ago:
dns blocking methods do not, and literally cannot, block them all.
- Comment on Chrome will block one of its biggest ad blockers 3 months ago:
yes, it will.
whether or not a ‘fully functional’ and fully-featured content blocker remains available for third-party browsers that use chromium as their core will depend on those third-parties and what they add, or add back, to their own releases to support those kinds of browser extensions.

- Comment on How does car insurance on multiple vehicles work (USA) 3 months ago:
‘shitboxes’ don’t normally have comprehensive or collision coverage, just liability–the cost of which is mostly based on who is driving, not what.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
if a president and vice president on the same winning ticket hailed from the same state, and it was a close election–things would get messy. really messy. like, even worse than they are now.
an elector’s votes (at that stage of the process, there are two: one for president, one for vice president) in the electoral college cannot both be for a candidate from their own (the elector’s) home state.
- Comment on Firefox search box jumps focus to address bar 4 months ago:
yes, it does, search box and ‘awesomebar’ can be configured to behave differently for search. this handoff messes with that distinction.
