More joint households have both members in the work force limiting the amount of shopping being done between 9-5. Add to that the ease of ordering shit online. All of which is on top of malls requiring minors to be accompanied by adults. Add it all together and the result is noone goes to malls anymore.

What??? Are you responding to the correct person?

Homie, stop making shit up. Noone is giving grief to tourists for not speaking the native language of the country they are visiting.

So where did all the pro-Isreal propaganda get pushed to? The anti-Isreal propaganda is everywhere. (I don’t know a better word than propaganda to use here but I don’t mean it as any sense of invalidating or dismissing eirher the anti-Isreal/pro-Isreal sentiment)

Wash by themselves in washer then I stuff clean dry socks in mine to keep form drying and use a dryer rack that keeps them from tumbling around. I’m not a sneaker head tho and usually are cleaning already beat up shoes.

But how does that keep people from voting? I’m not being a dick it’s a genuine question. Corporations dump trillions into advertising but that doesn’t prevent me from comparing products and choosing the product that best fits my needs. Matter of fact, there was a post today I saw that was about the futility of targeted ads having no better results than traditional marketing.

Eli5: How does record AIPAC spending prevent people from voting? It still comes down to people voting so isn’t it safe to say more people voted for the person who won than people who voted for the losing candidate?

Edit: come on this isn’t reddit. I’m not concerned with this question of who was running and what they are in favor of. As far as I have been attentive to politics there has always been campaign contributions from lobbyists with the intent to have their interests protected. I do not understand why or how that would affect the outcome of the election unless one candidates total campaign funds were a pot more than the others. I also don’t understand why is thes any new precedent? Hopefully with this added clarity the down votes won’t burry the comment and further discussion can be had.

Butter. I read somewhere sometime ago in a galaxy far far away that there is only a handful of US butter manufacturers which make all the butter for all the brands. Just different packaging. I have 0 proof or evidence and going entirely off memory of prolly a reddit post 10 years ago so google it and lmk if it’s true.

No but this usually is: If your vegetarian/vegan dishes taste really good it prolly from real chicken broth they add to the recipe.

Government ran entities are the bane of my existence but the FTC has always been a seemingly efficient and unbiased regulatory commission. They’re fucked when it comes to regulating the tech industry but still less fucked than anyother boomer politician who vote on its laws.

I am a kid with the popcorn bucket entranced by the current and looming topic of intellectual property arguments. People rarely appreciate how fucking wild wild west the internet (even now) really is. Fuckin crawlers, scrapers, AI training all this shit is the smoke and tremors before Mt. St. Helen’s.

You cant but a pack of gum anymore without agreeing to terms and conditions while at the same time its all but common knowledge none of them hold a lick of value in a court room.

The best part is normally in life you can have a decent gut feeling the way something will play out. But with this I have no fuckkng clue.

I mean aren’t half the regulations around spamming emails covered by the FCC while the other half is FTC. Like think about this for a second. We live in 2024 where the internet is connected to implanted medical devices, it’s tracking your driving habits, listening to you jerk off, storing every text message you ever sent, then backing up that plus every picture you ever took but surprisingly do not actually own all because it never leaves the apple servers…etc the point being how in the flying fuck is the there not a single regulatory committee over seeing the internet? IDK maybe it’s because they would have to have open discussion about the very real very terrifying backdoor policy to software. Can’t drop terabytes if child porn on you nemises’ hard drive with out that little loophole in the system.

When the choice is between a conspired atrocity vs an active support of a genocide… ima go with the one that just says yeah we’re guna kill them all.

Wait, the entirety of the FTC is 5 fucking people?

Psh 1 plug aint shit. Every Pic I see from anyone who lives out in those ghettos of India, Central America or any spacific islands they also only rock 1 plug but theyre running the corner store, the liquor store, the hospital, their style of little school middle school and old school, 3 hair salons if Latin or 3 nail salons if spasific, Bollywood, every stadium from every country in the world cup, and always 1 dude trying to squeeze 1 more plug in cuz hes runing low bats. Idk why the American ghetto is so pussy. One time i seen a family that fuckin put covers over empty sockets?!? Come on dog thats like wearing a condom jerking off. NGL tho, I get super jelly seeing pictures from those countries thp with their thousands of power lines, phone lines, sidelines, cable lines, borderlines, internet lines… fuck I don’t know much about how my AOL works but those wizards must be streaming some Hella fast Tokyo banddrifts with all them wires.

Really? The 3rd party candidates are all receiving funds from the GOP? You super sure about that or did you blatantly lie knowing only Kennedy received any funding from the GOP.

I feel like this is fruitless to explain if you could draw this conclusion for yourself. None of the 3rd party candidates are running to get anyone but themselves elected. Noone is going to risk the cost and exposure for ANY campaign unless they think they can win. If there is doubt, political strategy 101 is to just lay low and move focus to the next election.

All the GOP is following is another 101 tiered strategy: the enemy of my enemy is my friend. There wouldn’t be a single suit in DC who would support anyone in either the GOP or DNC if they morally chose not to give donations to parties drawing voters away from the competition.

“They know anyone educated enough to seek out a moderate candidate wouldn’t have voted for Trump in the first place.”

Whew, that’s got to be the hottest take I’ve ever heard. Hahaha. So by this logic, all the intelligent undecides will be too smart to vote for Trump so they are going to support… someone who thinks chemicals in the water make you feel like a woman but grow a dick at the same time? Isn’t that Kennedy’s thing? Chemicals in the water are creating more transgenders?

You do realize Trump left office with 39% polling that they thought life would improve under another 4 years of Trump. As of this article, the same question polled with 42% supporting Trump now. Those additional 3% of support, sure as shit didnt come from devout liberals, right? They prolly more than likely had a chance of coming from the undecideds.

Either way, I’m not picking on you. You do you boo. I would just recommend not making arguments with 2 out of 3 paragraphs containing wildly incorrect information. People might think you’re an idiot.🍻

Yes. As i already stated, I am more “cool” with someone who says they are going to commit war crimes than someone who is denying that they are actively committing war crimes while they actively supporting and funding a genocide.

Trump wears his stupidity on his sleeve. Biden continues to lie thru his teeth that he is not supporting and funding a genocide. I’d rather know someone is an idiot than someone who is convinced they are not while murdering an entire civilization.

It amazes me how many people seem to forget how much the polls played in Trump’s victory. The media practically encouraged people it 2ould be such a landslide for Hillary that people didn’t bother to vote. Trump has never won an election. The fucking retards running the DNC keep losing elections by their own incompetence. I feel like we keep living out the episode of Avenue 5 where the actor playing the captain in a TV sitcom wins the fucking election. We haven’t had a deserving president since Obama and in THIS election I would vote for Baldwin’s SNL Trump over either of the geriatric fucks who are actually running.
