- Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords? 1 week ago:
You have made a very good case here that resonates strongly with me
Where is rhe line between “us” and “them”?
Is it leftist vs liberal? Lib vs conservative?
No. It’s all of “us” vs the them that are in the 1%
- Comment on What are the pros and cons to buying a smart watch from temu? 2 months ago:
I recall there being a LOT of those watches out that were “mobile data connected” for very cheap.
The catch? The mobile data radio was 2g, and those networks are all obsolete and gone now (I think)
- Comment on What are the pros and cons to buying a smart watch from temu? 2 months ago:
All of the wyze stuff seems to be decent, but not super premium.
The headphones are 85% as good as the Bose, but for $49
The scale is quite good, nothing even remotely off about that and it integrates with Fitbit just fine.
The Color smart bulbs have been solid. One of the wyze smart plugs lost its memory once and needed to be re-setup, but fine since.
The cameras all work great too, as long as you’re comfortable with the fact that the video goes to some cloud location.

Seems like asking for disappointment
if you want a decent cheap option, the wyze watch seemed okay

- Comment on Star Trek Is Showing More Love To Scott Bakula’s Enterprise 6 months ago:
I’m not a huge trek nerd, but recently watched the whole series, and the two main irritations were the blatant/unnecessary/annoying/offensive sexualization, and the theme song.
It’s easy to skip the opening sequence but the gratuitous fetishizing was pretty awful. The whole series would have been better without.
- Comment on In reversal, Virginia school board votes to restore Confederate names to 2 schools 7 months ago:
As an army veteran, I have always found the naming of military facilities for shitty racist losers to be blatant pandering and a poor consolation prize to the wounded sensibilities of ‘the lost cause’ etc
There was nothing noble about any of that shit, it was 100% about slavery and to be fair, more or less the entire country had been implicitly or explicitly involved in the practice from colonial times.
So perhaps the consolation prizes and TYFYS-ism of it all was warranted for a period. But that period is well over by now.

How is this a “bombshell”??
No shit Sherlock there is intel that’s not immediately shared, or is shared with conditions. In fact, virtually all shared intelligence comes with conditions.
