  • I know quite a few spanish speaking people here who are hyper conservative. In general latin america is a greatly more conservative place than the US, so it's kind of amazing seeing the conservatives here targeting them.

    Poorer immigrants usually work in conservative spaces for poverty wages especially if they are not fluent in English, but the conservatives want to kick them out and start the white breeding programs to get some more white homegrown poverty cases going in red states.

  • When I hear people be all nationalistic in regards to their planned expenditures I never expect them to really bite the bullet.

    Experiments like this are why I doubt i'm wrong. https://afina.com/blogs/news/made-in-usa

    People en masse don't care about where something is made, they care about how much they are paying for it, assuming both products are of identical quality. I don't doubt that many will simply avoid spending money altogether. I doubt there are many out there willing to voluntarily pay more just for a made in X badge.

  • Wtf is this even talking about? 41% approval isn't even close to the lowest a president has ever had for a term average, let alone a single day.

    I wouldn't be surprised if this is the most divisive president in history with the delta of approval from the left and right being so starkly contrasted, but 41% isn't even that low.

    Nixon's second term approval was 34.4%

    Bush jr's approval rating was 36.5% in his second term.

    In terms of historical low water mark points:

    • Clinton got as low as 37%
    • Biden got as low as 36%
    • Dumpy has gotten as low as 34%
    • Carter got 28%
    • Bush Jr was down to 25%
    • Nixon got down to 24%
    • Truman got down to 22%.
  • Check your clothes labels, personal electronics, appliances, fabrics, salt, medical devices, medicines, customer support lines for major businesses, networking equipment...

    I'm not canadian and i'm certainly not a dumpy supporter but realistically what the fuck would you ever want to buy from the US that is actually made 100% in the US anyway?

  • By that you mean you're buying indonesian, vietnamese, chinese, ecuadorian... and probably a ton more imported things because nobody really manufactures much of anything in USA or Canada outside of a handful of things that are costly to transport.

  • because tons and tons of potential solutions exist. At the core of this class of product is a very simple computer that costs next to nothing. FOSS software exists to accomplish the same goal and for minimal cost someone can compete with them.

    Synology doesn't really control anything. In the enterprise segment they tend to be tiny little offerings that are on the small end of SMB. Their bigger bulkier enterprise stuff is easily overshadowed by any real enterprise offering from a larger hardware company, though i've seen some exist even in larger orgs but it's not because something else couldn't have done the job.

    Anyone starting fresh has to do some work to catch up but it really depends on the use case. Basic NAS/DAS functions are so trivial.

  • vacations are more for new experiences, new food, new cultures, new people. Not just “consumer behaviors”.

    This. I haven't gone to multiple countries in latin america for weeks to just buy shit. The food in lima is some of the best i've ever had, just don't go alone for safety :P

  • Because not all of us are sadists. The guy deserves what's coming to him, but it's more than just him.

    Aside from the nazi there are tons and tons and TONS of workers who are impacted by the nazi's choices. They all stand to lose their jobs, bonuses etc out of all of this. If the nazi didn't exist, there would be no negative connotation with the business. After all, they just make EVs and deal with power generation and storage for the most part, as a business.

    Then there's all the people who have retirement funds which have invested in the business simply because it's been growing traditionally. I have index funds, so I am personally affected by the valuation loss. I don't think i'll avoid buying more QQQM or VOO either, it's just traditionally beating most fund managers by a large margin with minimal expense.

    I'd love to see the guy lose his compensation package and lose his CEO status and board rights, but I doubt any of that will happen. I'd love for him to be prosecuted by all the illegal shit he's personally directed in these past months, but I doubt it will happen.

    Ultimately thinking of all this shit is still net negative and not uplifting for me. Give me some news about how the guy is being forced out and that the workers are being taken care of or something and i'll be all for it.

  • I agree with you man. This isn't uplifting news.

    It may feel right and just that the guy is getting push back, but we think more about his other actions and it drags us down, rather than lifting us up.

    It'll get tons of upvotes in all kinds of other subs because most of us want the guy to get hit by karma hard, but it's not about us feeling good.

  • It's the year 20X6.

    I, his inheritor, am sorry to inform you that GabeN has passed. I've realized that I want an even larger pile of money, and it's come to my attention that you aren't paying for us to maintain your account.

    You have 30 days to download your content or subscribe to Steam Plus at a cheap $X9.99/mo to avoid account deletion.

  • Steam is not free. Steam is 30% cut to businesses.

    Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft offload their costs via yearly subscription costs as well as developers paying a protection fee to launch on their platform. Steam just has the highest protection money scheme. You wouldn't want anything to happen to the games you're publishing through them, would you?

  • I'm certain this can be disabled in windows at any moment as without it loads and loads of criminal evidence would be available for discovery and litigation against the wealthiest people and businesses across the world.

    A real fear is being a worker in a world with micromanagers inspecting your workweek, 3 second snapshots at a time.
