Many people now don't use any wired internet connected devices. So wifi being out at home means none of their devices have internet.

Maybe an exception for their cell phone. Even then a lot of people have limited mobile data plans and rely on their home internet most of the time.

Reminder that only ~30% of the country voted for Trump.

Only if they can pay the $1 Million+ that Trump charges for those.

He's not going to pardon all of the insurrectionists. They were thrown under the bus before they left the original rally point. They're just too stupid to realize it because they want to believe that he actually gave a shit about them. Otherwise their entire self identity is in question.

You've provided an explanation (which is not actually simpler, my single sentence summary of your points is),

Mine was actually simpler, and is even simpler than yours...

For many Americans they simply don't have the time to read about it.

I just then immediately expanded on that simple explanation, instead of leaving a lazy single line response like the OP. Because this is a place for actually discussing things, not just leaving a side shitty comment like it's Facebook. The OP I responded to did not even attempt to go beyond, instead going for the low hanging fruit of, "haha Americans dumb" and leaving it at that as of that added to the conversation in some way.

No that's a lazy and shitty take with no thought behind it. It's even simpler than that.

For many Americans they simply don't have the time to read about it. Between worrying about everything else in their daily lives, living paycheck to paycheck, even working multiple jobs to get by. Many Americans barely have enough time after getting off work and commuting home, helping their kids with homework, having dinner, or otherwise winding down a tiny bit after work, to maybe watch an hour of local news before going to bed and doing it all over again the next day.

If you're worried about making ends meet every day of your life, you're not paying much attention to politics beyond the little bit you get talking to people you know, or that 30-60 minutes of local news. It's simply a lower priority than surviving and not losing your home or car which you need to get to work.

We can probably look at the reddit paid API change as a real world approximation of free to paid conversions versus users just dropping usage. Not reddit usage overall, but a third party app that stayed and needed to start charging users because of the paid API. Not sure if there are any apps that stuck around and released that sort of information to reference.

As soon as someone calls something "woke", I know immediately to ignore whatever they're saying, they're almost surely incapable of proper critical thinking. If they could form an actual critical opinion they'd be talking about that instead of using a generic political term that equates to "anything I don't like or understand".

Maybe they should just create their own storefront instead to do what they want. Oh wait...

The fact that these aren't hard requirements in our modern society is inexcusable.

If there's anything his Administrations have shown, it is that WAYYYYY too much of our government operates on gentleman's agreements and norms, not actual rules and requirements.

After working retail for more than a decade... Those people deserve it. The type of person to argue with an employee about whether they carry something or not solely because Google said so, are the quintessential Karen. They deserve every bit of unhelpfulness right back at them for the misery they sow everywhere they go.

We act like there is a difference... The reality is just that people ignore signs. It doesn't matter where you're from or where you are, there's a large portion of the population that just ignores relevant signage. Anyone that's ever worked in any sort of retail or similar customer-facing role can corroborate.

Mexico can have Texas back. We should send them a Thank You card for doing so.

Correction, MIcrosoft can't do this until Google complies with court orders.

I shortened the last sentence. The 1st point literally covers that type of scenario.

But that's cool. Taking things out of context on purpose to manufacture a point is literally what the internet does best.

These are people choosing their home over their principles.

Okay you're one of those people. This conversation is pointless. Have a good day.

Ah, so a couple questions to see if you're just a fucking idiot that thinks idealism can be reality, or if you're even relevant to the conversation.

1. Are you American or otherwise working in the United States currently?
2. If so, how long would you be able to survive if you were to be fired or quit and not be able to work in your same industry? Meaning you would be starting off in an entry level role probably in unskilled labor, because most government workers aren't in charge, they're working desk jobs to make things function or doing some sort of inspection work, neither of which usually need college educations.
3. If you're not American, your opinion on this honestly means very little here since you do not have experience with working in the US.

If Govt services cease to function they fail.

Not sure if you haven't noticed somehow... that's exactly what the Republican party campaigns on and has been doing for the past 60+ years.

They literally campaign on the idea that Government does not work. They get into office, then don't do the job well, proving that it doesn't work well. All while reducing funding and cutting programs until they fail. People that actually know what they're doing leaving just helps them.

Trump wants to kill branches, then show why they were made by their absence.

They don't want any of those programs or services, because they don't give a shit about them. The wealthy don't care about public education, their kids go to private schools. An educated workforce is harder to control. Critical thinking is a threat to propaganda. They don't care about you wiling situation as long as they keep their quality of life at the top, which just requires money, which they make through indirect means off the back of everyday workers in destitution. They'd rather you be in jail for a bullshit offense where slave labor is literally still legal. Don't have to pay the inmates.

The programs they want still get plenty of funding and are in no danger. Things like the military and anything that can support the wealthy who don't need it.

The reality of living in this country is a factor. Not everyone is in a position financially to quit their job and probably blacklisted from their industry.

We do not have an adequate social safety net in this country. To be able to make principled stands without having to worry about your future prospects, you'd have to be independently wealthy, like the fuckers doing this shit. And that's entirely by design with the policies they've made happen over the last 60+ years. Over a quarter of this country lives paycheck to paycheck now, that will include a lot of federal employees.

To be fair, artists are one of the original intended uses for OnlyFans. While it is sexually focused now, that's more a side effect of it being one of the very few creators subscription sites at the time it started up.

Studies have shown no difference in nutritional value. So it's a net negative across the board.

It's not healthier, it has a higher risk of pathogens, and a much shorter shelf life, all for usually more cost at the store. It's a perfect grift for the anti-vax, chemicals=bad people.
