I'll agree that Dems have given up way too easily, mostly based on naive "for the good of the country" white knighting.

It probably didn't start with Al Gore and the hanging chads, but that would have been a good time to realize that sometimes these fights are existential

Doesn't change the fact that Stein is currently a russian-funded spoiler and she's a drag on the Greens and does great disservice to all of the non-major parties.

I hope No Labels and other serious 'third paries' spend time focusing on voting reform like RCV or similar. Of course, many nerds will (probably correctly) claim that RCV is flawed in whatever way and we should try to move to some other even more complicated system. And then nothing will happen and we will continue to be stuck in a bi-party system with smaller factions only ever having the opportunity to act as spoilers in national or even state-wide races.

And that irony now is that messenger on Android is RCS compliant and currently has this exact functionality, except it's less trustworthy.

Once again I'm using one messenger and everyone else who's using an RCS messenger gets encrypted, but SMS (clearly marked as such) is a viable fallback.

But, it worked!

They have actually done it, the madlads

(What's the gender neutral equivalent of madlads?)

I recall there being a LOT of those watches out that were "mobile data connected" for very cheap.

The catch? The mobile data radio was 2g, and those networks are all obsolete and gone now (I think)

All of the wyze stuff seems to be decent, but not super premium.

The headphones are 85% as good as the Bose, but for $49

The scale is quite good, nothing even remotely off about that and it integrates with Fitbit just fine.

The Color smart bulbs have been solid. One of the wyze smart plugs lost its memory once and needed to be re-setup, but fine since.

The cameras all work great too, as long as you're comfortable with the fact that the video goes to some cloud location.

Seems like asking for disappointment

if you want a decent cheap option, the wyze watch seemed okay

Most likely they have enough volume in them for that to be unnecessary.

Indeed. I might vote for some Greens down-ballot, but Stein is a stain on the party and its cause

Certainly if she has been trying to effect real change in a realistic way, rather than an egocentric impossible run at the presidency.....

Things would have been different. She was one of many straws, which if subtracted, would have prevented trump

So for that and that alone, she and the rest of the greens can fuck right off.

See the No Labels folks for a more common sense way to be activist on national level politics.

Greens would be great if they would focus on good, winnable races from the bottom up....

What that called again?? Uhh 'grass roots'

Not exactly ------ no one really buys enough sex toys to become a 'known regular ' in a sexshop

For-sure he was known to so many staff because he was regularly visiting the 'video booths' area, which generally have gloryholes or other forms of public, anonymous sex.

Chances are very high this guy was giving and/or getting blowjobs to/from strangers every weekend

32 now and I actually like it. I hope it will taint my profile in a positive way
