Hopefully they survive this administration.

Pro-business/anti-regulation types teamed up with the anti-abortion types around 50 years ago in order to get votes for their unpopular ideas, then they did everything they could to conflate the two ideologies to where Christians (the dominant religious group) now think Republican=Christian=Republican and thus ALL Republican ideas intrinsically align with their religion. I.e., Jesus was a capitalist rather than anything that's actually in the bible.

Tl;Dr: propaganda and the natural human tendency toward in-group bias.

Huh. Is it a rule or an instance culture thing? Do you know what was the impetus?

[–] Hazor@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (3 children)

As one of those friends, I appreciate the thought, but also was definitely a little confused until you explained it.

Seriously. I really don't get the kind of mental contortion necessary to actually believe the kind of nonsense she is conveying.

It was really only the OG Pebble and the Steel. It was resolved by using a different screen connector in the Pebble 2 and Time.

I've had multiple OG's over the years and each have developed the tearing issue. It's a fairly easy fix if you're comfortable opening electronics, but obviously that's not going to work for every customer of a mass market product...

No moving on here. I still wear a OG Pebble daily, and I'm super excited about this. I just wish they hadn't chosen 'Core 2 Duo' like it hadn't been the name of another product...

Some such people are really good at pretending to have empathy. I used to be with a narcissist who was a nurse. She could put on a good face, but in actuality she just got off on the sense of power over people who needed her help. In areas where being an awful person didn't threaten her job security, she had zero qualms about hurting or taking advantage of others, and she did so without hesitation when she felt it would benefit her.

Yep. I tried it because of TNG, and found I rather liked it. Now I drink it near daily. I also opted to try Yorkshire Gold after Patrick Stewart mentioned in an interview that he prefers it over Earl Grey, and I found I don't prefer it. Plain black teas are fine, but ... they're not my cup of tea.

I tend to go for rooibos when I want something without the caffeine.

They believe the propaganda that others hate them or are trying to destroy their way of life, and that dollar-store Hitler is their champion fighting for them.

Nice. If they'd had that as a color option, they might have sold more!

Hopefully in 4 years we can make out like it never happened and that it was nothing.
