I mean the Onion was overshadowed only because real life went off the rails and became a parody of itself.

It’s almost as anti-technology as about half of the Congress Critters. The ones older than email at least, seems to be the general benchmark for insisting on the old ways.

I never claimed that email or patient portals weren’t allowed.

The “modern” fax machine using telephone was invented in 1964 by Xerox, but technically the fax machine goes back to 1843. Bain patented the electric printing telegraph, which used pendulums and electric signals to scan images and send them over telegraph wires.

See, you’re thinking 21st century, but this is both a healthcare management technology and a government regulation issue, so you’re 2 centuries too new. We need to go back to 1843 with the electric printing telegraph, which used pendulums and electric signals to scan images and send them over telegraph wires. That’s where healthcare technology regulations stopped.

No shit. This was obvious from day one. This was never AGI, and was never going to be AGI.

Institutional investors saw an opportunity to make a shit ton of money and pumped it up as if it was world changing. They’ll dump it like they always do, it will crash, and they’ll make billions in the process with absolutely no negative repercussions.

I’ve used FreeTaxUSA for years without any issue and free federally. Something like $16 to e-file with my state.

They just have a screen at the end prompting for more deluxe options if you want. You can also download the completed files and submit them yourself if you want.

K…I’m sure nobody cares.

Well you’re objectively wrong, since clearly the one guy complaining cared enough to actually complain about it.

Just needs a Pyramid Head cosplayer in the distance.

He was never actually charged for the insurrection though, was he?

That’s not a requirement according to the amendment. This is also why they’ve spent so much effort on downplaying it, trying to call it anything other than what it was. The Congressional inquiry determined that it was in fact an insurrection and it has been defined as such officially. As written, the inability to hold office should be self-enforcing, the Supreme Court went out of their way to interpret it in a way that it most definitely does not say.

Because that’s the simplest explanation

No, it’s even simpler than that. The majority don’t pay attention to anything past headlines. There are numerous reasons for this, time, effort, working 3 jobs to make ends meet, etc. And that’s something the Republicans excel at, they have spent the past 60 years developing an entire network of media to spread their propaganda masking it as factual “news”.

Because people aren’t looking past the headlines… if you break that down and simplify why that is , you get to the base of the average person having a hard time in the current economy. One party telling them that it is hard and they’ll change things, and the other party telling them it’s not actually that bad. If you’re having a hard time and one group keeps insisting that you’re really not, you’re probably going to pick the other side if those are the only options. It’s not rocket science, fuck, it’s not even political science, it’s just ignoring the issue and trying to convince someone being beaten to death by the system that they’re not actually getting beaten.

Because they have no actual proof of it, and direct evidence against it. They talk about phones communicating with each other to restart… yet a phone inside a faraday box restarted.

It’s almost certainly just a software bug in iOS which is why it’s inconsistent.

It protects you from being compelled to provide biometrics to unlock the device. Since the courts have made a distinction between providing a password and biometrics to unlock devices for whatever asinine reason.

Where do you get the idea that Trump is in any way smart?

We know from his former professors that he was dumb as shit then, and the dementia is clearly progressing quickly, we’ve seen it actively get worse right in front of us the last few months.

They had nukes. They got rid of them in exchange for assurances from Russia that they would leave them alone.

It’s obviously more complicated than that, but that’s essentially what it boils down to.

The simple fact is a LOT of Americans don’t have the time to do real research. They are entirely reliant on media to break down the complex issues into small chunks. And we know that no longer exists.

Do we expect someone that has to work 2 or 3 jobs to make ends meet now and an hour or two helping their children with homework, to also spend hours researching current events and political stances beyond what they can get in 30 or 60 minutes from the TV before they have to go to bed and do it all over tomorrow?

They have been setting the pieces to this eventuality for 60+ years.

Trump just stumbled onto the very carefully set board, and started messing with it, and exposing the plans in the process. Being the narcissist he is, he is incapable of not using anything he wants, so it forced the Republican establishment’s hand. They had to bring him into since the Presidency is necessary to further the plan, and in turn he also became dangerous since he’s 100% the type of person to use that information to extort the outcome that helps him. I don’t think they really understood how bad an idea that was at the times and now they’re stuck.

Good. Now let us emulate and mod your damned games in peace.

Better to do the work they can to help until they’re forced out.

Perhaps that’s where we get the Mandela Effect.
