I think that NPR panders to the far left, not because somebody told me they were, but because I have actually listened to them. I don't need a graph compiled by somebody that I don't know to tell me so.
As for being "far right," yes by today's standards, I would definitely be labeled that. However, somebody that leaned left 30 years ago would be considered far right today also.
@malwaretech
It would seem obvious to me that this very exchange shows that not only do I follow but I also try to interact with people outside of my thought bubble.
Perhaps, you should try to imagine a scenario, where someone that disagrees with you is not a stupid idiot.
@malwaretech
If only I was as great and smart as you. Unfortunately, I will just have to be stuck down here with the dumb masses.
@malwaretech
I don't actually watch fox. At this point almost nobody watches cnn. That does not take away the fact that they like msnbc pander to the far left. (so does abc, nbc, cbs, npr, and a bunch of others.) But even with so many places that pander to the left, they can't seem to stand that their is one that doesn't.
@malwaretech
I'm not crying about anything, just pointing out that the left has their places to go that panders to them just as much as fox panders to the right.
@malwaretech
As opposed to the geniuses on the left that get all their news from msnbc and cnn?

I have not been vaccinated, but I fully support this movement.

Look at the dates on the pictures you posted. She donated her half billion in 2021. With the timing, it seems more likely that she funded the research than that they are cancelling because of her donation.
I wrote a blog post about the dangers of focusing too much on hardware specs to predict performance when choosing hardware. In my experience many other factors (such as the software the hardware will run) have much more of an impact. Focusing on specs alone incentivizes bad practices like planned obsolescence and disposable hardware.
Today marks four years since I ordered my Librem 5. I am still excited about it, though simewhat disheartened that it has taken this long. Hoping to see it soon.

Lying propagandist does not equal terrorist.
The only groups that I have seen him oppose are BLM and Antifa. The two groups that are in actuality terrorist groups. And by terrorist groups, I mean that they are terrorizing communities by setting businesses on fire and physically assaulting people, not just using mean words.
@malwaretech
Unfortunately no one will go to jail for that either.
@gwensnyder In what way is Andy Ngo a terrorist?
@sj_zero
I don't disagree, but I am just saying that most people are pushed into purchasing a new phone, often without realizing that they are being pushed.
@sj_zero
Also, it has been shown that after two years, many of the manufacterers use updates to purposefully slow the phone down, to make them harder to use.
@sj_zero
For most people, a new smartphone has a new battery that will last more than a day, because if their phone is more than four years old without a replacable battery, the battery is dying.

The point is, if you don't want to go to the gym, don't go.
If you don't want to drive a lifted truck, don't.
If you don't like steak, don't eat it.
But those that do are not jerks for liking those things. The ones that attack them for liking those things are the ones being jerks.
@malwaretech
As for steak, I wouldn't say that "all" other food is gay, but I do love me some dead cow.
@malwaretech
For those that know me and see me everyday, it is obvious that I don't spend any hours at the gym, but for those that do, I don't think that there is anything wrong with them staying in shape.
While I do, only drive 4-wheel drive vehicles, mine aren't super jacked up, it's not really my style, but I do think that jacked up trucks are cool and I don't begrudge anyone that wants to spend their own time and money on their own vehicles how they want to spend it.
