To answer your final question. Yes. American politics has gone so far off the rails that AOC speaking common sense is something that is no longer normal.

For example: "We should feed children too poor to buy school lunches!"

"Nooooo that's SoCiAlIsM!"

Meanwhile bailing out a bank because their friend's stock gamble didn't pay off is just the American way

American politics: Socialism for the elite, capitalism for everyone else.

This is the BASIC bullshit that AOC and people like her call out and she's labeled an extremist for it.

I hate it here.

I don't even own a PlayStation and haven't since the PS3 but I truly hope Sony takes a financial hit on this one. Others such as Microsoft and Nintendo are paying very close attention to the results. If they manage to get away with this you know other consoles won't be far behind them. Hell, they already tried around 2020 causing the start of the whole GameStop short fiasco. Now they're trying to do it once again.

That being said, Sony doesn't give a flying fuck about a blackout. You want to really hit them where it hurts? Dump them. It's the only way.

I tried as a kid (maybe 10 or 11?). I for sure could not reach including my tongue. I assume I still can't today and have no urge to find out. Especially after watching Shortbus.

Jokes on them, if you have a shitty enough computer that's doesn't meet the minimum requirements, you get to stay on Windows 10 forever!

And THIS is why I have found my place! Not much boot licking when it comes to the DNC here.

Thanks. I'm now insulted that I'm not on the list! Granted I've only been on Lemmy for a couple of months.

I'm not some DNC loving hardcore Dem or anything but I do tend to lean left on most of my views.

Finally some uplifting news 😁

I have asked on multiple posts at this point. HOW THE HELL DO YOU CHECK IF YOU'RE ON THE LIST???

[–] BeUnique@lemmy.zip 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Because the DNC isn't actually on the side of the working class. They aren't like us. No matter how much they say they are, actions speak louder than words. I just don't understand why others can't see the pattern that I do. I see Democrats tanking on purpose, accepting money from influences that don't have their voters best interest, and reaping the benefits of Republican decisions that they claim they are against....

How do you even check ?

[–] BeUnique@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

Because these people think they're untouchable?

 

Edit: Decided the work is just not worth it and it'd look ghetto as fuck! Plus I would be having to cut into my door causing permeant damage for no reason! On top of that I would have 4 6x9 speakers alone in my car with a stick head unit... It would sound like shit! All bass no highs. I spent so much time trying to figure out if I could when I should have been figuring out if I should..

I'm keeping this up as a reminder to myself to not make stupid DIY car decisions! Thanks for the down votes, I truly deserve them on this one.

Original: I made a mistake (pic related)... I told Gemini I wanted to upgrade my door and back trunk speakers. Same sizes, just a better than stock speaker that will sound good with my stock head unit.

It told me that my Altima fits 6x9's all around! A pair in the front and a pair in the back.

It's late where I live and the store was closing so instead of fact checking or looking inside my door panel, I went to the store and picked up 2 pairs of 350 watt 6x9 speakers for $90 a piece before they closed....

I then excitedly checked YT to see how to install these bad boys only to find out my door speakers fit 6.5's...

My question is, if I manage to get these installed, will my stock stereo even have the output for 2 pairs of 350 watt speakers?

Also if so, how TF would I go about mounting them?

Never trust AI just because you're in a hurry folks!

 

I just had a really weird dream. One of those that you wake up and go back into the same dream later when you fall asleep again. I was me but surrounded by people I don't know irl but I truly did in my dream. I was with a group of friends. One of them was going through a separation and we were helping him move out. The ex was there as well and we all knew her and the guy for years. She was a part of the friend group.

The thing that really fucked with me is these people that don't exist were so real. It included inside jokes that I knew, back stories of how we met. Reminiscing of things we did together in the past. I remember pulling out my phone and shooting the shit with one of the guys showing old pics and videos of crazy shit we did in the past for instance.

There was also drama that I knew about in my dream and watched progress / unfold in front of me. Like a few of the closest people to the guy going through this were a no show.

Idk it was just fucking weird, like I was completely emersed in the situations, having unique conversations with these "friends", the story progressed like the movers finally showing up. People coming and going. Me getting yelled at to get off my ass and start helping.

The whole thing was surreal and I think what made it weirder was that it wasn't very eventful. Usually dreams are more interesting? Like it was just me, existing, doing something with this friend group that doesn't get together very often anymore that I had known for years but literally don't exist. Another weird thing is I wasn't the main character. I was just helping a friend out that needed me.

Idk, the whole thing fucked with me. I have never had a dream so.... Immersive based completely on people I don't know?

 

Fuck, where do I even start? Portion sizes are a joke. Cost is through the roof. Then you got general fuck ups constantly! I don't go out a ton because of the cost. I usually order to go or delivered. I'm constantly met with wrong orders! Like, I place perfectly reasonable orders not asking for anything special or outside of the parameters of their menu only to get the completely wrong thing or no item at all!

I have worked in the service industry as a line cook, server, and bartender. I know the industry. I'm baffled as to why so many of my BASIC orders are not being fulfilled!

So, one example so you don't think I'm just some crazy person expecting something special. I ordered take out this weekend. It's pretty uncommon for me to do that but I was feeling like I wanted to blow some cash.... I rarely go out or order takeout and the amount of times the order is wrong is insane!

Order: Buffalo Wild Wings. Walked in. Sat at the bar. Ordered a tall beer. Ordered to go (all on menu, nothing picky): 30 wings, all flats, half traditional buffalo and the other dry rubbed lemon pepper.... I finished my beer, pay 20% tip, and took my food home. Found half original buffalo and half something called "Asian Zing".. Not even a dry rub.. Over the last few years of me living here, this is my average experience ordering food from local places or corporate chains in Denver.

Anyway, I have lived in Denver for about 3 years and this is my typical dining experience overall. Like, what the fuck? Are Denver folks not capable of completing basic tasks errrr.....?
