I got the Spotify car thing as a pre-order when it was like $20 or $40 or something like that. It was fucking awesome… Until it wasn’t. That shit started power-cycling every few minutes. Spotify support just told me to factory reset it and that they couldn’t replace it. I damn sure wasn’t buying a new one.
I’ve about had enough of Spotify and their bullshit.

I’ve always thought the “Facelift” they gave the 2005 Dodge Dakota was terrible. The Durango looked bad too but not as strikingly bad as the Dakota. Pre-2005 it was a great looking truck and now it’s gone.
Hmmm I wonder who is responsible for the aid money not going to Ukraine. Couldn’t have been republicans refusing to vote for it. Nope… That can’t be it
I was in a dollar store the other day that had 2 GIANT posters on the front doors saying “NO CASH” “We cannot accept cash payments at this time” and while I was in there I saw 3 people get told they can’t accept cash and then the shoppers left the store in a huff.
The US Department of Justice and 16 state and district attorneys general accused Apple of operating an illegal monopoly in the smartphone market in a new antitrust lawsuit. The DOJ and states are accusing Apple of driving up prices for consumers and developers at the expense of making users more reliant on its iPhones.
I don’t hate Apple but I do hate their influence. They release some wireless earbuds and then suddenly all the manufacturers “don’t have enough room for a headphone jack”, …get the fuck out of here.

Police need to use something similar to the UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice) that the military abides by. This article eloquently explains this better than I can.
"If we are willing to provide military equipment and training to our local law enforcement, let us also share their higher standards of behavior with police. "

Bernie was buy-and-large the most popular candidate in 2016. Mainstream media all but refused to put him on air(He was bad for business, i.e. for millionaires/billionaire executives). The DNC completely fucked us when they still elected to put Hillary on the ballot; even with the GOP colluding with the FBI to investigate her, whether or not that was legitimate is irrelevant. The DNC fucked us. And yet… Like others have said, our democracy is currently so fragile that we have no real other choice other than to vote D straight down the ballot.
The only other possible option would be for a major of the country to write-in the same person in the primary election and then for that person to register as an official candidate and then run in the general election and win. The vast majority of states require a candidate to be registered for them to be a write-in. And good fucking luck convincing a majority of this country to agree on one person. Personally, if that were to happen I would proudly write-in Jon Stewart.
Biden hasn’t been that bad. Not bad enough to risk never getting to vote again.
