Damn, I first read that as Vance knocking the taco truck over, presumably on some kind of fit of rage.

I don't think that scotus ruling does bar congress from investigating stuff actually, the supreme court doesn't have jurisdiction over impeachments. That's not to say they will, just that I'm pretty sure they can.

Holy shit, the first thing I see when I visit that website is a popup telling me to either pay them, or accept that they are going to track me and sell the data to over 400 third parties. Fuck that.

That whole thing just sounds like a much more stupid version of ERIC, which notably Louisiana withdrew from a few years ago.

The Wii U sold poorly for many of the same reasons I expect the Switch 2 is likely to sell poorly. That is a price increase, not great marketing as far as I can tell, and it being possibly too similar to its predecessor. On the other hand, at least the switch 2 does seem to have a better lineup of launch titles than the Wii U did.

Oh hey, it's this asshole. This guy is the reason I reacted to that news about making all court rulings only apply locally with some humorous positivity. (also because humor helps me cope with general awfulness)

I mean, they allow ai generated stuff, but that's about it as far as I can tell, since they also let you filter ai stuff out as its own category of filter.

Hooray, I'm glad my thought process for initial steps was correct. If you don't mind me asking, my thought process for the recommendation of canvasing as opposed to something like flyers is that doing so would make you and your efforts come across as more human and genuine, especially if part of the pitch was that Comcast was astroturfing, do you know if that's something that actually works?

I don't have any experience doing this, so take everything I say with a grain of salt, but my first step would be to collect information on how similar projects have turned out in the past, in terms of cost and adoption, as well as how much money Comcast is spending to counter this effort and what kinds of services they offer in the area at different price points. Then see if there are any people in the community that agree with you on the deployment of municipal internet who could be convinced to make the effort to assist you with convincing the rest of the community. With that information and those people, organize a canvasing effort, as in go door to door and actually talk to people about their stance on the matter. I would focus on that "locally owned and operated" argument, as well as the fact that if Comcast is spending money trying to prevent this they surely must be expecting to earn even more money from not having any competition in the area, so they can get away with higher prices and worse service.

Honestly I think it would be funny to see them try. The vtuber market is pretty resistant to allowing the kind of abusive monetization practices that techbros like, at least from my observations with Niji and the like.

I mean, this is late even by that metric.

I always assumed it stood for "thank goodness it's fridays" honestly.
