Literally have watched the typically accepted propaganda get removed quickly on that sub. Also had several conversations with mods when I was on there. Levelheaded and quite serious about their work. Literally the only sub that seemed to maintain ethics and consistency.

That being said, I’ve not been on there in a couple of years.

This seems to be a ‘no true Scotsman’ argument.

Seems he is going fairly hard in the mortally correct direction, there.

But before the last step, yo boy DJ Vance’s investment group will buy up the ‘distressed’ farm land for profit.

In this case, they are explicitly talking about serving ads on the device. Apple has a much less problematic track record for that particular issue.

The ECONOMY was GREAT!!

The economy does not include middle class and down (ie, all the working class).

As someone in the PNW, there is not much you can do if you don’t bring the dang thing indoors that won’t leave the thing a pile of rust in 5 years.

I am trying with a specific form of stainless to see if it makes a difference.

Weird story time: My great grandfather was obviously the source of the autism in our family line. Man could not read social subtext to save his life. He felt driven to find some sort to group to belong to that had set meetings and such. For a 5 year span, he joined, like, everyone. Elks, masons, you name it. When we were helping him clean out his house in the early 90s we found a KKK uniform. We asked about it. Apparently it was billed as a men’s group and they just had costumes made. He went along with it for a few meeting and then the extracurriculars were discussed at his last meeting. He finally got the point of it. He got out. We had his calendar book from that year(and every year from the 30s-retirement) and we saw the date where he started crossing out the KKK meeting times.

Why he kept it? It was the best work his wife had ever done.

Several years later I asked my grandfather if his dad was racist. Basically, he said that his dad had gotten in trouble for not understanding the racist, unwritten policies he was supposed to enforce and kept asking why, as there was no logic to them.
