I don’t buy that completely. I had a to travel to a very liberal part of the US during trump 1… I would say the liberal patriotism (what some have better called American exceptionalism) was still thriving. While I fully understand people’s belief have gone down hill over the last few years (like your source says), I think it was more sudden than that. Also I’m not sure it won’t bounce back and revert to mean under a different government.

I said people were triggered cause it was on -3 or -5 or when I put my phone down yesterday.

I think it was letterman that started his show with “from New York, the greatest city in the world” that they unreflectively cheered for years … which I think is an example of how brainwashed even the more liberal Americans have been over the last 50 years. Their entire culture has been leading to this point.

They were never the good guys.

One of the first things I learned about climate change in the 90s was the US didn’t ratify Kyoto—and Bush withdrew in 01. Never the good guys. We can go back further (Allende, Nicaragua—not the good guys there either).

But still, even many liberal leaning people, think they are the greatest. And they laughably think this is a blip.

Edit: this post definitely triggered some Americans.

Penguin. No reason required.

Any adult who votes alt right should not just be welcomed for realising their hatred is wrong. Cause they’ll be as fickle next time they get an easy “solution” offered for their problems.

Obviously they shouldn’t be shunned forever. But I wish there were more consequences than “whoopsie daisy I accidentally aligned with fascists”

There are many reasons given here. Many are not new though. These discussions existed in 1800s about the left having a hard time unifying.

Golden shower trickle down economics

So I’ve now got some delivery notifications (batch 1). So it’s happening.

Yes. But this is the likely pretence for military presence if the government intervenes. The US invasion of Greenland is starting.

I’m so fucking angry about how this is going. It’s going to be war if the US persists.

So basically no need to outrage?

Also not got mine yet in batch 1.

This feels like a really stupid move if they want to lock international users into US-based AI. This will just make more flock to alternatives that will catch up.

(This isn’t me being for AI but trying to understand this from the US perspective)

I just want to add that the dramatised reading of the forum exchange is amazing: https://youtu.be/JqylqmDl0Mw

Patented manager emails, old family recipe.

I remember it being my first search engine after seeing a tv ad for it in the 90s.

Never thought about it for about 20 years but a little sad nonetheless.

Thanks-that link doesn’t seem to be working at the moment though.

The article here seems to be implying the demographic of streaming is changing.

I was curious if it younger people (I) are shifting how they access it through piracy (what you were suggesting); (ii) it’s more of a broader shift from shows to YouTube or other types of “modern” content

Or more likely both but I was interested how much of each factor.

But is Plex that big with younger people in general?

I’m enjoying Qobuz

I went from SF to Chicago for a few hundred dollars for a couple nights where I got my own cabin (probably 450 total — that might have been the price all the way to New York or just to Chicago, don’t remember). But I only booked about a month in advance. That was around 2019 so maybe prices have gone up radically since then?

But the long distance train experience in the US felt closer to a cruise than a sleeper train in Europe which I’m used to (all meals included, lounge carriage and so on).
