Somehow reaching that conclusion is one of the stupidest thing I’ve read in awhile.

When the majority were aware of injustice we sang in the streets, “Fuck Donald Trump and fuck Biden, too! Neither of them give a fuck about you!”

That’s was an incredibly good thing. The trade unions were paying attention. Now is our time. A few years later the US has more strikes than we’ve seen since between the world wars.

Seems you’re not paying attention to We the People. That’s a critical mistake.

Effective means of societal change always have collateral damage. It’s especially true in the current paradigm. But, the more that choose meaningful change and proactively sacrifice for it, the less the collateral damage.

That’s why there’s a homeless man living in my shed. Without need to seek out shelter, water, food, and clothing he learned to use a computer/internet in a week and has now secured several job interviews. If he fucked up or someone fucked him over he can come back. He’ll probably be one that makes it to the “other side”.

I don’t think I’m special. These are basic human responses to the situation that exists. Government won’t help. We must help each other. Seems simple enough to me.

It’s not worse for me as a brown individual. That damage is already done.

It’s worse for MLK’s white moderates because they can’t ignore the issues the rest of us have been suffering our whole lives.

I’ll choose justice over order and principle over comfort. It’s the only way forward.

Harris suggests giving Israel whatever they want. But, one is far more effective at killing innocents than the other.

Giant douche or turd sandwich? I’ll endorse neither.

Don’t sweat it.

Your lack of care (and history of shallow reasoning and arrogance) is why everything increasingly sucks.

This crowd… Lemmy

This crowd isn’t representative of Lemmy whole.

Nothing matters if there’s no meaningful choice on the ballot. And, your single issue perspective is part of the problem: You put your feelings first.

I opened my position on March 27th then traded conservatively. It’s one of the easiest plays I’ve ever made. My comprehensive analysis was, “Trump will fuck this up.”

That’s definitely not the quality of answer I was expecting. Thank you. I’d not realized Sony has been such an innovator.

48V, 10A at 6 feet or less length requires 16awg wire for <=3% loss (which is the critical appliance standard rather than the more lax <= 10% used for most DC circuits). That’s a wire with a conductor diameter of 1.3mm ~= 0.05in.

The cable probably isn’t 10A rated. But, it’s not an overly thick wire to get it done. Most of the girth is insulation and shielding.

This is overly simplified. And, I didn’t care to watch the video.

Why is the “high end” brand Sony?

About 1998: I tried to ask a Sony receiver to deliver about 80% published RMS. After about two minutes it went into a protection mode, never to recover, bricked.

About 2005: A used Sony 5.1 HT setup’s receiver failed. The speakers said 4 Ohm on them. An HK 4 ohm stable receiver begs to differ. Speakers went to Craigslist.

I’ve been avoiding Sony for nearly 20 years. Are they doing something right for playback devices such as a CD player?

Because if you don’t do as the others then you’re perceived as personally attacking their bandwagon comfort. Said another way, your nuanced ideology is far less important than their shallow feelings.

If so then you were late to the table.

Shorted with options.

Reagan changed many paradigms for the worse. I’d bet the majority here couldn’t name his predecessor without looking it up, let alone the legislative majorities and legislation.

I’m going to go do something more productive.

I’ve studied political science, economics, and history for ten years. Most don’t have the time and resources. My mistake was engaging the echo chamber with something so complicated.

A tradition like president candidates releasing tax returns or presidents making White House visitor logs public or staying out of justice department actions or not personally profiting off the presidency or…

Yes. Much of the precedent that constitutes a “good” President was established by the actions of Washington and Adams.

Yeah, the dignity of the office took quite a nose dive at Reagan.

I expect and deserve better. It’s not a popular perspective here, where all have settled for “not Trump”. I’ll leave you to your less than mediocre whatever.

They’re wrong to do so. It’s an old tradition intended to ensure peaceful transfer of power and avoid hegemony. They disrespect the office.

Because Trump is a pig, all the rest should roll in the mud also? That doesn’t seem wise.
