False. Hawaii re-elected a Republican governor in 2006 to a second term.

They have not had a statewide-elected Republican since that election though.

Since when is Hawaii a red state?

When is the last time a Republican won statewide in Hawaii? Answer: 20 years ago in 2006.

Why are you lying in your response to lying?

So don't listen / watch if you have such a problem with the owners of that media reaching out to people that natively speak other languages.

By the way, that makes you a fucking bigot. Why is other people being targeted by media such a problem for you? Why do you think you are the intended audience for literally everything?

Your bothsides examines a false choice caused by reductio ad absurdum. Three bad faith arguments in one!

To wit: yes, both political parties feature lying politicians. However, one party has FAR MORE liars, that lie on a daily basis, about literally everything. It's also the party that is apparently fine with domestic violence and sexual abuse judging by the multiple credibly accused members of Congress that belong to that party, as well as the convicted fraud who is the party leader, with absolutely no call for them to fuck off.

Try not reducing the argument to ridiculous levels, because it makes you look ridiculous justifying ongoing bad behavior with "but they do bad things too!" - how about we try reducing bad behavior instead of justifying it?

Well, let's follow the bouncing ball a bit:

1. OEM producer of a phone will not set their margin below 30%.
2. Input components have gotten more expensive, raising the cost of good sold.

What happens to the price that a customer pays when multiplying by a percent? What does that do for revenue / profit? Oh, it goes up without you doing any additional work that you were already doing.

I can't imagine why things are so expensive, can you?

Find my ex-wife.

Book a seat on Greyhound. Because you won't be flying anymore.

Moving their corporate HQ is only a tax dodge for the corporation. They will still have a significant presence in California, because that's where the fucking movie biz is, and that's where the Paramount lot is, and that's where the Warner Brothers lot is. They are not moving any of that, because then they would not have sound stages and all the supporting infrastructure for actually making films and TV shows.

It's all bullshit.

"It's like Blackhat, but for people without jobs"

Anyone who is considering the replacement of tried-and-true safety-critical systems with AI is asking for criminal negligence charges at the very least when it fucks up.

Nobody with any sanity whatsoever would honestly suggest that at this point.

All Pixel phones since the Pixel 8 have 7 years of patch support in writing from Google:

Also, your iPhone that "holds it's value longer" assumes you can extract that value out of the market, saturated with other people looking to upgrade at the same time you are. And a hassle of finding a buyer. Many people do not do this, and just take the low-ball trade-in offers from their telco, or Apple. This argument is at best on shaky ground.

What else do you have to justify the higher price you're paying?

Have you checked your whataboutism recently?

Pointing to an even more expensive product to somehow justify this expensive product is stupid. You should be asking WHY these things just keep getting more expensive rather than accepting the premise that they are all ridiculously expensive but it's okay that this is ridiculously expensive because some other product from another manufacturer is moreso.

Hint: these companies are charging that much, because they CAN. They love their massive margins on these products, and booking ever-larger revenues and profits.

You said:

The selected choice had already shown themselves to be incompetent and evil in the first term. If the alternative is just merely "stupid" that is an improvement over "stupid and malicious" no?

I don't know what confused you.

Yes, because we always know that criminals think rationally about their crimes before committing them.

Mandatory minimums don't change how hungry someone is, or how poor someone is.

I don't understand why these aren't mounted on over-the-carriageway highway sign supports to ward off vandals - they've been putting intersection video cameras up on the traffic signal arms for decades.

Shocking when you put something like this at ground level, it's easy to fuck up.
