1) They are provably stupid.
2) It doesn't make me feel good. Facts don't care about feelings. You have to acknowledge facts whether they make you feel good or not.

Why am I supposed to have the plan to fix decades of Republicans deliberately compromising education systems to create a malleable proletariat?

Saying people are stupid isn't dehumanizing them. It's acknowledging reality. Pretending real things aren't real doesn't help anything.

Who's suggesting actual (meaning workable) fixes? What are they?

I just checked to see what drop was and I see it's for keyboard enthusiasts, but they require javascript and I'm not interested enough to enable it. Either the purpose of the site is to sell tracking info or they don't have anyone who knows how CSS works. I don't know why I would care about the latest keyboard releases, they are irrelevant to my purchasing decisions as what matters to me is what is available to me someplace I want to shop.

That aside, I do most of my electronics shopping on aliexpress now. They have been responsive when I have had issues with purchases, and the prices tend to be much better. The keyboard I'm using now (which is a redragon k556rgb) is stuffed with outemu silent peach switches* I bought on aliexpress. I just got an ajazz ak820 from there. Since pretty much all of the keyboards are made in China now anyway, that's the cheapest way to get them. Their search engine is trash, but their site otherwise actually works these days so that's nice.

I wouldn't plan to get a keyboard with specific switches. I would plan to swap them, or buy one that came without switches. There are just too many switches out there for all the switches you might want to be available in keyboards. I have two k556rgbs since one LED died on one of them and they sent me a replacement, now I have a shitload of redragon red switches I'm not using. But it's only like $22 for a 110 set of outemu switches.

* I spent thirty bucks or so on switch testers first to figure out which switches I wanted. Outemu is so far the only brand I've found with feel equal to genuine Cherry, e.g. Kailh and Gateron are both hilariously sloppy by comparison. In side by side testing the difference is immediately obvious. Their "silent" switches are also quieter than other companies'. Do most keyboard enthusiasts just read reviews and skip the switch testing step or what? I see people gushing over Kailh all the time and I'm like, buh?

The M is a better buy than the F because it has more longevity. My first PC was an IBM 5150 with the original keyboard. It was nice to type on, but besides being very loud which I do not consider a feature, it also died. The membrane lifespan is limited.

Thanks, Obama!

That is less than half a joke, because the ACA a) writes profit for insurance companies right into the law and b) caps the amount they can charge at a percentage of the cost of care, which means they are motivated to drive up the prices.

The preexisting conditions part of the ACA is good. The rest of it is crap. It's designed to force people to purchase more expensive health insurance plans, and then to pay for it with tax money if individual people cannot afford it, making The People pay for it instead (APTC.) This is a direct handout to an industry which should not even be allowed to exist.

To pretend to offer them something, you mean. That's the problem, a yuuuge percentage of those young guys are exactly as stupid and bereft of morality as the Democrats think they are.

The reason we have bad laws and selective enforcement is arguably that enforcement is not obligatory. But the flip side of that is that you would still have unfair outcomes due to unfair, prejudiced courts.

Where A is causing, and B is being used as an excuse for.

There's definitely AIs answering phones now.

This has been going on since they bought the site.

It's not even slightly difficult. Just search for 101-key or 104-key keyboards.

I just bought a 75% keyboard on purpose. It drops the number pad and does shove the remaining keys together. However, it has fkeys. Unless you actually need the number pad, it's much better for gaming because it allows you to use that space for mousing. I also have multiple 104 key keyboards.

What's relatively hard to find now is wired keyboards with nifty features, at least without finding lots of wireless ones. Everyone seems to want to make them wireless now. I don't want a keyboard with a battery in it, except for the tiny one I use with the TV. And searching for wired keyboards rarely helps reduce the number of wireless results in the search.

There are now Amish who use motorized farm equipment with a diesel engine with an electric starter, but pull it around the field with animals. Those have not maintained their way of life, they just have some typically quaint excuses about why and when they are allowed to go around their stated belief system and still claim to believe it at the same time.

No problem, they will just pull themselves up by their respective bootstraps.

If it doesn't have the original style of guts then it isn't the same thing.

The feel is what's important, not the look. And, BTW "The Vortex M eschews the normal eye candy we expect on modern keyboards" is bullshit. I expect that I can buy a modern (in production, recently designed) keyboard as plain or as fancy as I want, and in fact I can.

Remember the story we just discussed here where the LLM apologized for completely failing the user? That was simulated guilt. What did it do for the user?

Which most people DO

The one thing is the other, because many if not most laws are now written by corporate lawyers and then handed to congresspeople for introduction and sponsorship. You cannot separate capital and politics under capitalism.
