Geez there seems to be a lot of rage about the FCC potentially enforcing a law LONG on the books for broadcast TV to give equal time to political candidates on both sides of the fence, especially during an election year....

If he wants the Dem.....let him also schedule the Rep. candidate, maybe both on the same show...eh?

Because real punishment is only for brown people. Corporations are the whitest white people.

ROTFLMAO....

OH man, you got me with that one. If you really believe this type of shit, you are REALLY gone over the deep end my friend.

I guess all those non-white business owners that have incorporated are all secret undercover white nationalists.....hahaha.

Man, what a vivid and exciting imagination you have there...

You pull a trigger with intent, and someone dies. That doesn't mean you intended to kill a person. The entire chain of events are evaluated to determine if you committed murder or manslaughter

Or...self defense...that's one of the more important ones there that you forgot.

HTH.

I wish someone would make a DSLR that was compact and as easy to use as a phone. I'd be interested in that. Fixed lens would be okay, I'm not going to carry a second one anyway. Even just a USB dongle that used the phone for all the processing and for the view screen.

DSLRs are old tech...go for a modern mirrorless camera.

Go take a look at the Fuji compact mirroless cameras they even have a few fixed lens offereings that might suit your use case...give them a look.

I'll likely be getting the iPhone 18 Pro Max....in either 1 or 2 TB configuration.

I"m currently on the iPhone 12 Pro Max and the better life is starting to get a bit weak and the electronics are starting to show age a bit....I want to be able to shoot RAW and such on it for video...so, it's about time for me.

As you can tell, these phones last me a LONG time, so I drop some cash....but over time It seems worth it to me. An extra $100 or so? No big deal.

Explain why, when they got rid of the oversight of Southern states and their voting, the states literally moved the next day to reduce the ability of minorities to vote, then

Err...no one or no groups have been prevented from or reduced in ability to vote to date.

Please cite rules and laws hindering anyone's ability to cast a vote? (Aside from those that are NOT citizens, which is against the laws and have been for ages).

How often do we see a police dept ousted because a bunch of their officers had a racist group chat going? Is that not systemic?

Actually it is quite rare to hear about this...therefore I'd posit that this illustrates that it is NOT systemic or pervasive in today's society.

You're never going to root out racism totally....you still see it coming from all races in virtually all societies....but it is not systemic and is not an assumed everyday occurrence, especially not in the US.

Ahh...the good old days.

Besides, didn't she make a better Nurse Chappel?

Did you guys ever actually believe that land of the free stuff? Wow.

I did and still do...we're MUCH more free than the rest of the world....unlike places like the UK we don't arrest people for insulting someone online or hurt feelings for a comic routines....or where was it that got someone arrested for playing Kung Fu Fighting?

Sure a lot sucks here in the US, but it sucks a whole lot less than everywhere else in the world.

Otherwise...why are so many people trying to come here?

How voting works in civilized countries is ranked choice.

OH fuck off.

No, it's not perfect here in the US, but it works enough for us....

I'm seeing how these other "civilized" countries do it, with the coalitions and such....and it seems even more of a cluster fuck that we have here in the US.

No, I'll stick with how we have it here....and we can tweak it as needed.

"flooding illegals". I pictured a big wave made of people. I've met illegal aliens, but I've yet to witness a flood of them. That would be quite a spectacle.

Apparently you weren't anywhere near a TV a couple years back during the Biden administration....you could hardly miss a new cycle without seeing the flood of people crossing the Rio Grande and storming the gates, etc coming across.....

It's kinda funny how in the Biden admin, they claimed they couldn't stop it....yet less than a year into Trump #2 term....the spigot was turned 99.9% off almost immediately.

Getting high is nowhere near as social as alcohol.

It often makes people quieter, less interactive....alcohol is pretty much the opposite, it's called "conversations lubrication" for a reason....it brings down inhibitions allowing folks to come out of their shells.

Weed often involves a bit of paranoia, and you don't generally feel comfortable talking to strangers, etc.

Young people are smoking weed or doing edibles because who wants to pay $10 for a beer or a $20 cocktail.

Where the fuck do you live where beers are $10 each or a cocktail is $20?

Do you only drink at NFL games or something?!?!?!

$2-$4 beers and $5 cocktails are about the norm when I go to a bar....

Did you guys ever actually believe that land of the free stuff? Wow.

Almost every single campaign I've seen to push out "conservative speakers" were against racist white men coming to spew hate and misinformation. I'm not sure who considers what "far left", but implying these are somehow discouraging of honest discussion is laughable.

The problem is...they define any white man as a racist and the problem with society today.
