I hope so, but if I were betting, I would bet that actually the s*** show will continue. Too many very rich people have too much money invested in real estate speculation, and you know they’re going to pressure their friends in Washington to not take away their honey pot.

I could be wrong, I sure hope I’m wrong, but this doesn’t feel like the climate where we can expect to see significant victories that would benefit the average person. Not yet. Maybe soon? I don’t know.

I don’t think you know what the term radlib means. It’s kind of sad. But I do know that when one country advances into another country, and expands territory, that’s an aggressive fact. You can try to justify it however you want, I know you’re trying hard, but it’s just not convincing. Seizing the Crimea and then expanding more recently, those are the actions of a country that wants more power and more territory and more control. That’s not the kind of country that I respect.

And if you want to point out that the US does shady stuff too, you’re absolutely right. But that doesn’t make Russia’s actions reasonable.

What you said makes sense from a technical standpoint but not from a practical standpoint. If I’m losing good adblock on Chrome, but good ad block still works on Firefox, it would be easy for Mozilla to put up some blog posts or tweets or whatever to point out that they are a great option, because they’re adblock isn’t going anywhere.

This is an obvious concern for many users, Mozilla has the capability to issue a press release or anything at all, and they’ve chosen not to do so. Therefore, people are reasonably questioning why they’ve chosen not to do so. Free marketing but they’re throwing it away, and their best defense for doing nothing is essentially what you wrote, which is essentially to dodge the precise issue at hand.

Oh I mean he’s lying. He knew Trump was horrible. Everyone did.

All of the conservatives who are coming out against Trump now are just bad liars. Everyone knew, at least for the last decade, how bad of a human being the man was and is.

I understand that sometimes you have to make tactical alliances for politics, but to come along later and say that you don’t know a certified scumbag is in fact a scumbag, that’s just unbelievable. I would prefer if they come up with a plausible lie. For example, they could say that they knew he was bad personally but they thought his policies were constructive, or they believed that he would try to clean up the swamp, or they thought Hillary was going to be a disaster so they needed to oppose her by any means necessary, or anything that might have a grain of truth to it. Those things might also be lies, but at least give us something. Show some decency.

They usually are.

Obviously that’s true for some people to some degree, but it turns out that policies matter as well. If we only focus on the popularity contest aspect, you can get someone like Reagan who has charisma who will come in and cause great devastation.

You wrote “even” which has obvious implications about reliability. Be real, my dude.

I’ve been watching for the last three decades, seeing very little truth on Fox. You can pretend otherwise, if you want.

This is too simplistic, isn’t it? At work maybe we have no choice. My AdBlock is still working on YT. So I don’t need to bail on Chrome yet. (I did, but I didn’t need to.)

What happens as the ad blockers get worse, as Google disables more and more functionality? This will be the fun time. It’s not hard to switch browsers, after all. And people know this. So of course they don’t worry about it.
