Extended Support Release,

Hey thanks for the info. I didn’t know about this.

Go ahead and bully me into “falling in line”, take your shots

Nobody bullied you into “falling in line”. You voted to raise taxes on rich people and corporations. Why the fuck would you NOT do that?

You can be good to your base and make more of them go out and vote,

What exactly does this mean? If it means “coddle people with attention” that’s nonsense. But if it means put up some killer progressive policies that are highly popular and easy to understand that might work. e.g. “medicare for all”. “make billionaires pay their fair share”.

and publicize them in a way that even the dumbest person can understand.

Not doing this part is a key point of failure.

Remember when Biden stood up for the railroad workers? Me neither.

I do remember this. Sound’s like your memory is bad.

I love Bernie, always have and it’s complete bullshit how badly they fucked him in 2016 and forced Hilary upon us.

I love Bernie too. Yes the primary voters “forced Hillary upon you”. That’s how primary elections work. I am so sick of the Trumpian “elections are rigged” crap. That is Trump style shit that I’m sick of.

Why? Because they make empty promises while simultaneously gaslighting and lying to their faces, and they eat it right up. How do you convince people that the GOP hates them when they refuse to listen to reality?

This part is actually an excellent analysis.

Harris is guilty of running a losing campaign but she did not “pal around with Dick Cheney”. The only issue they agreed on is Democracy over Fascism. The only connection between the 2 is that Dick Cheney endorsed Harris.

the DNC has utterly failed us.

Bernie is right in that Dems need to focus on inequality and not identity politics. But the DNC didn’t do shit. The DNC isn’t a person with policies of its own. It was individual politicians that failed us.

the DNC gave us Trump, twice.

The DNC didn’t give you shit. VOTERS gave you Donald Trainwreck.

I am SO sick of this “the DNC is a person that gives us things” shit. IDENTITY POLITICS is the problem. Not focusing on INCOME INEQUALITY is the problem. INDIVIDUAL POLITICIANS who don’t understand these things are a problem. The DNC is simply an organization chosen by the primary voters every 4 years with nearly complete turnover in that time period. Focus on the right problem. Whoever wins the most primary delegates IS THE DNC. And if somebody like Bernie wins, THEY ARE THE DNC for the next 4 years.

How does that help with unwanted update nagging?

Doesn’t work. Firefox keeps nagging me to update every freaking time I open the browser. Now if they let me turn the nagging off it wouldn’t be so bad.

I want an update once per quarter, not once per week. Only more often than that if there is a critical security fix.

Ukraine needs to bring in a South Korean resettlement team and tell the North Koreans all they need do is surrender and get their free tickets to South Korea.

Why the heck did Mozilla need 120 employees for anyway? I hate that Firefox is updated so often because I always get Firefox Update Fatigue. I hope that fewer employees means fewer Firefox updates.

Yes. I can’t imagine being foolish enough to automatically update your external dependencies when you don’t need to.

Trump is a garbage man. He’s a garbage delivery man.

Conservatives love of lies fits in perfectly with Trump’s lifelong pathological lying skills. I think this is a big reason Trump ran as a Republican. Dems would have spotted Trump’s character flaws way to easily for him to run as a Dem.

Q tards prove that conservatives like to be lied to.

Birther kooks prove that conservatives like to be lied to.

Bircher kooks prove that conservatives like to be lied to.

Sandyhook kooks prove that conservatives like to be lied to.

Pizza kooks prove that conservatives like to be lied to.

Start the Steal kooks prove that conservatives like to be lied to.

Hermain Cain kooks prove that conservatives like to be lied to.

Pet eater kooks prove that conservatives like to be lied to.

Hurricane kooks prove that conservatives like to be lied to.

Dems-control-weather kooks prove that conservatives like to be lied to.

Yes. Sounds like the law itself is flawed.

The point of including worldwide stock is to reduce risk in case the US has a recession, as not all other countries will be affected by that.

This seems to be generally no longer true.

Nope. Should have added: /s

Companies should not even be issuing future “earnings expectations”. They mean little and warp the market. Drives me crazy when I hear financial talk about "future p/e’. It’s just a fake number. The only real p/e ratio is the trailing p/e ratio.

Bogleheads three fund portfolio (total US stock + total world stock + bonds) is very simple yet will beat most actively-managed portfolios over the long run.

This is right. But you don’t really need the ‘total world stock’. I reduced my allocation of that to 2% because it was dragging down my returns.

The law only cares what they do to other companies.

Apple doesn’t allow other companies to have their own app stores. Which google already did allow, they just didn’t make it easy to install one.

Apple is MUCH worse in restricting app stores. It makes no sense that Apple can continue to get away with their far worse restrictions than google. On the positive side this will make Android even better and more attractive to consumers vs AOS than it already was.
