The DNC heavily undermined and consistently sabotaged Bernie's campaign the point that the DNC chair stepped down and the DNC then apologized "for the inexcusable remarks made over email" that did not reflect the DNC's "steadfast commitment to neutrality during the nominating process." (From the wikipedia link below).

From the 2016 Democratic National Committee email leak: In the emails, DNC staffers derided the Sanders campaign. The Washington Post reported: "Many of the most damaging emails suggest the committee was actively trying to undermine Bernie Sanders's presidential campaign."

Bernie was absolutely robbed of a fair primary election.

It’d also be nice if they couldn’t just override the primary election results because it’s not a “real election”

Yes, I’m still a bit bitter about how the DNC treated Bernie in the 2016 election

Summary:

When the sport of artistic swimming, formerly synchronized swimming, announced it would allow men to compete in the Paris Games, Bill May saw his chance. But the U.S. team chose only women.

I only communicate with internal employees, so we’re all in the same network with company issues laptops. I even tried the app on my phone for a while and that wasn’t any better so I ditched it

I’m honestly surprised anyone has had a good experience with Teams

I use it 5 days a week for work and don’t have connectivity problems.

These issues are company wide and are not unique to me. I would switch isp providers if that would solve the issue. It’s bad enough that if you want a new computer you just talk to tech support about the issues and they’ll send you a new one since they can’t fix it (not that the new laptops work any better with teams)

Works well? In relation to what? Carrier pigeons? Did you forget the /S ?

The only thing I’ve seen it do well is share recorded videos almost immediately.

It doesn’t even send messages as you’d expect. It’ll show sent on your side but the other person never gets it

Someone calls and it rings, but the answer button has a 50% chance of not being there so you can’t actually join unless it’s a group call and then you can after it rings for 30 seconds and you don’t even know who called unless they ping you saying they’re calling

Sharing your screen takes a few tries occasionally and sometimes requires you to rejoin the call

Notifications? What notifications. They work so rarely it’s become a habit to manually check every few minutes

And it opens docs in teams!? Who wants that hot garbage

And the freezing! It regularly freezes for 20 seconds when doing anything in it

I’d gladly take Skype over the garbage that teams is

And if that wasn’t bad enough, it’s apparently such trash that it triggers me when someone has anything nice to say about teams. Sorry 😅

This is not just an Apple thing. Planned obsolescence via stopping software support is an issue across the entire industry.

iPhones generally get 7 years of security updates. Only 4ish for major updates though

Samsungs get 5 years of security updates

Huawei also has 5 years

Samsung watches only get 4 years of support.

Pixel watches get 3 years of support

The Apple Watch 4 came out in 2018 and is losing software updates after 6 years.

My point is this is an issue across the board and needs addressed across the board.

Well, you’re about 20 years too late. It has already started

See any of the tor sites for examples of what is currently filtered out of the regular internet. It even gets your google account permanently banned if you log in via the tor browser

Where did it say anything about a Ministry of Truth deciding what can be posted online? Making it illegal and having a 3rd party decide if every post is allowed are two very different things

If it’s illegal then there are ramifications for the platform, the user posting it, and the tool that created it.

Content moderation is already a thing so it’s nothing new. Just one more thing on the list to check for when a post is reported

Only some lizards are venomous. He probably picked it without worrying about the bite since their bite hasn’t killed anyone since 1930. Also probably didn’t realize he had liver problems.

Their bites aren’t usually life threatening on their own. Looks like this death was a bad combination of liver problems ontop of the bite itself.

This video is another critique of democrats vs republicans and how democrats offer a lot of lip service for being inclusive, fair, liberal, etc but have very lackluster results and end up being a lighter version of their republican counterparts instead of pushing liberal agendas that they ran on.

If extra purchases are necessary then it’s dishonest. Especially if it’s advertised as free install with purchase of appliance.

The hoses should either be included in the price of the appliance or specified in the offer, ie: free install with purchase of appliance and accessories.

You’re getting played if you don’t use one. All those rewards are not from the people racking up credit card debt, it’s from swipe fees.

If you don’t use a credit card you pay the same price as the ones paying with a card, except the ones with a card get rewards. The ones without pay extra since stores charge extra to cover the fee

They even lobbied successfully to prevent merchants from passing this on to credit card customers. Which means they pass it on to all customers instead.

The fees are currently capped at 2.5% but that’s just for the swiped. There are other fees as well that end up costing the merchant more.

Visual studio and visual studio code are not the same thing. Visual Studio is a full IDE and is expected to have those features and is clunky because of them. Or was, not sure where it is now. It’d be in the same category as netbeans, eclipsed, and intellij

Vs code is an enhanced lightweight text editor

Notepad++ is the original enhanced lightweight text editor

My point was that Notepad++ came out way before vs code and didn’t copy features from vs code.

Copied from an ide, sure? Not really a good comparison as they are solving two different problems

I think you mean you discovered vs code years before you found notepad++

Notepad++ has been around since 2003 years and vs code has been around since 2015.

It looks like the light posts on the corners should support a piece of glass. So you have a functional table in between tech deck sessions

I am pointing out that dealing with animals falls under animal control. Not police officers. The exception being an in progress attack and even then a gun probably isn’t the best choice considering the animal would be next to/on the person it’s attacking.

The article points out that the reason is unclear. Based on what we know about how police offers act, how police departments respond, what punishments they face, and how they update their procedures/trainings, it draws a clear conclusion.

The reasons for the high number of pet killings by law enforcement are not clear. Some factors include mistaken identity, warrantless searches, lack of training, and legal protections for police officers when using force, including against animals[1].

How many dogs are roaming around biting everything that moves? That’s about the only time they should be publicly executed.

Obviously animals can be dangerous and all that but there is a clear lack of oversight on police officers actions and an almost non existent repercussion for wrong doings.

Dogs with regular violence issues are dealt with by animal control and a vet. They aren’t taken care of by a police officer emptying their gun into the animal in someone’s yard/home.

In addition to that, the police were in plain clothes and unannounced and his partner provided false testimony as well.

“ Goldschmidt testified that, despite not being nearby during Wallace and Crumbaker's confrontation, he could see that Crumbaker's hands were at his sides when Wallace punched him. Goldschmidt said he rushed to Crumbaker's aid and told the jury, "I think he's dead at this point, he's just still."

I disagree. You are only allowed to agree with the article using the articles own statements. If article states the sky was always red without mentioning anything else, then you’d have to agree or fail.

No other views, facts, opinions, perspectives, etc was allowed.

That is not critical thinking.

That was how Missouri taught “critical thinking”
