I would have upvoted this if it didn't have a pointless tumblr caption on it.

Way better with the last two panels swapped!

So, so many questionable design choices. The lamppost raised 2ft off the ground, is that supposed to give us the impression of being on a neighborhood street? All the 90s tiling around it says otherwise.

The data is still going to be there when there's cost effective AI tech...

And here's where the mods turn to the camera with roguish smirks, because they weren't necessarily bluffing.

You know, I'd love to read things that are written to be read, not something that reads like the storyboard to PCG's video content for this item.

Nope sorry, Youtube gets punished for bad ad practices. You don't get to pretend that the content creator is the victim of the ad-blocking user when YT controls the platform.

That is certainly one perspective.

We're all affected by how our respective governments were born, and grew up, or didn't, or haven't had the chance to.

Now, I get it. No one wants to feel like they actually voted for the conservative outcomes

This is projection. Can you conceive of someone with slightly different political values than yourself?

A half-measure at best, and you know it, because as with everything they do, we only have bipartisan support if the wealthy get the lion’s share of the money. That’s how it was with Obamacare and COVID relief. It’s what they do.

This is how you debate? "I'm right because politician bad"? Cite a source or two.

That totally matters in a country where marriage policies exist mostly at the state level

lol, with the small exceptions of my own tax bill and federal benefits.

and the Supreme Court has already admitted they’re gunning for gay marriage next.

Right...in which case federal recognition becomes critically important.

Confident doomsaying is always easy and popular on politics threads, and I just don't buy it here. Before the 2022 midterms, commentators were just as confident that the economy (and inflation!) would hand the GOP a huge victory in Congress. Didn't happen.

Biden's done exactly what he said he would, which is to focus on and fight for laws and measures that have a chance of passing the US Congress. Hard to argue with his strategy.

On the economy:

• Consumer prices are up ~15%, not 30 and especially not 50.... The twelve month change as of January 2023 was 6.4%.
• The US has 3 million more jobs than before the pandemic, and 1.7 job openings per unemployed job seeker.

Legislative record:

• A trillion dollar infrastructure deal with bipartisan support
• A federal gun control bill with bipartisan support
• A bill that finally recognizes same-sex and interracial marriage at the federal level. Passed the Senate with 12 Republican "yes" votes.

Right but to your other point, the admins who don't fork will send you spam.
