I'm curious how long they can sustain this as it's probably a lot like WWII when the US commandeered a bunch of factories for the wartime effort. This isn't sustainable long term as those factories need to produce regular goods for the country as well plus I don't know how well the Russian people support the war so they may not have the same 'spirit' to win the war as we did here back in the '40s.

I'm pretty sure they recently changed to allow LGBT members along with toying around with integrating both boys and girls into troops since the girl scouts really only exists to sell cookies. I've seen lots of garbage on social media about how "woke" the Boy Scouts are now so they're gunning for the organization.

Wasn't ephedrine the drug used in all those diet pill commercials from the 90s/00s? The ones that caused anal leakage, liver damage and death?

Or ban it from being placed next to actual medicine. Go put it in the candy or soda aisle.

This was so infuriating during covid as it was hard to find children's cold medicine already and half the time you'd see a couple bottles of "Children's cold and flu" on the shelf, buy it, and get home before you notice "homeopathic" written in 3pt font along the bottom of the bottle. Shit's completely useless.

We handle a lot of IP so I can't install anything on the PC that isn't pre-approved (like MS Teams). I am able to add certain extensions like Ublock but not others like Keepa (Amazon price tracker).

Unfortunately I'm stuck with Chrome at work so having something like Ublock Lite available is somewhat helpful. I just hope it still blocks youtube ads because they're the worst.

Fair enough my mistake, but it's still an irrelevant question.

Maybe handing all three branches of a nuclear power to literal fascists?

I did that? The Supreme Court was already under control of the fascists because the DNC rolled over and allowed the Republicans to take the nomination away from Obama a year before the election. They again rolled over and allowed Trump to nominate yet another justice weeks before the election. In my district we voted in a blue congresswoman and had no senators on the ballot. Are these losses around the rest of the country my fault, too, or the fault of the people running those campaigns?

You really don't grasp what has has transpired here do you? You think that those of us who have been ringing the alarms are just overreacting and it's going to be business as usual?

How exactly were you ringing the alarm bells? By telling everyone to vote for Biden and then Harris? By telling everyone the obvious about what a piece of shit Trump is? How did that work out for us?

I've been ringing the alarm bells about how terrible the Dems have been performing and all the shitty policy they've been supporting (genocide, the rich, the right) and got so much pushback. I've been called a shill, a republican in disguise, an idiot, and everything else under the sun and look how things turned out for us. You supported a losing strategy from a party full of neoliberals that doesn't give two shits about you or anyone else and now you want to point fingers. As I said before, how could it not be more clear after losing or nearly losing this many elections in a row that the DNC and their leadership is the problem?

I voted for Harris begrudgingly. Can you please get back on topic now or have you run out of excuses for why she lost and it's not her or the DNCs fault? As I said, you've just created a strawman, and completely derailed the discussion with some "gotcha" that didn't pan out, not that I really believe you'll believe me and will likely claim I'm lying so that you can pretend that you were right all along and everyone else is "the problem" and if that's the case then you can expect the Dems to keep losing elections until you run out of people to blame.

Are you willing to address any of my arguments or are you just going to continue to keep your head buried in the sand?

Who said I didn't vote against him? You're just creating a strawman to validate your argument even though you couldn't be further from the truth. The DNC ran yet another terrible campaign and alienated a bunch of their voters. The people still defending this insanity that has happened almost 3 elections in a row are the people to blame. Are you defending the 2016 and 2024 campaigns? Do you approve of the neck and neck 2020 campaign? How many elections are you willing to lose in a vain attempt at sticking to a losing strategy?
