Doom and gloom was the ultimate goal — and now it is working: Trump wins with voter apathy (www.salon.com)

At this point in election season, the political press starts making forays into the wilds of so-called Real America to try to find out what the voters are thinking. It can be an interesting exercise in the hands of journalists who have a feel for more than the usual “breakfast crowd at the diner” type of stories and find...

that’s almost the worst thing you can do in a two party system, short of not voting at all. It sucks that the system only really allows two parties but throwing away your vote on a third party is not the way to fix it

you’re the one advocating for a third party vote, you should know

A lot of people would rather see this increasingly undemocratic system collapse entirely

a lot of people love to fantasize but are the first to cry for help when shit hits the fan

then you understand that although calling it a 4th reich would be colossally dumb in a multitude of ways, he’d power through all that and do it anyway, right

Are movie and show file sizes more efficient than they were years ago?

This may be a stupid question, but I just got back into pirating some shows and movies and realize that many of the QxR files are much smaller than what I downloaded in the past. Is it likely that I am sacrificing a noticeable amount of quality if I replace my files with the smaller QxR ones?...

lower visual noise of modern movies and series also helps a lot

I don’t know if I’d call that move messy, he seemed to be alongside far enough for Russel to have known

Hamilton for his overtakes perhaps?

IIRC that front wing endplate is mainly to manage outwash? So as long as the wing holds together without that plate, it should be fine

seeing both mclarens out in Q1 is a bummer, I’d love to see both Daniel and Lando get some more success

Palestinians in Gaza say finding clean drinking water is like “prospecting for gold” (mondoweiss.net)

For Palestinians in Gaza, the most urgent daily task is the search for water. “Obtaining water has become like prospecting for gold,” explains H., a writer with We Are Not Numbers, “and whoever finds drinkable water is considered wealthy."...

well perhaps they should’ve thought about that before digging up the water pipes provided by international humanitarian aid organizations to make into rockets. If Palestinians want to blame anyone for lack of water, they should start with hamas

btw, hamas made a video bragging about this

edit: according to their own propaganda, these were pipes left behind by Israel “to steal gaza water”, not pipes delivered as aid: memri.org/…/jazeera-documentary-hamas-missile-ind…

of course, and everyone is free to have some glamour shots taken of them just for funsies, regardless of what they’re wearing. What puzzles me though is why vogue is posting this

there are plenty of celebrities far more deserving of a puff piece like this, but of course they don’t have as many zeroes so I guess bezos it is

why do we even know the political leanings of members of a school board? It ought to be a non-issue, but I guess the previous members just couldn’t help themselves after ingesting too much fox news

and you’re so happy you can just mash one single button and your favourite track, game or series starts to play.

yes, that’s why I pay for some things and pirate others, because for me pirating is often significantly easier and less time consuming than paying
