One thing I hope is obliterated into history after this presidency is the notion that “both parties are the same”. I’m seriously getting a laugh out of these conservatives who are struggling to make ends meet but have voted Mitch McConnell

Why should regulation like this be enacted due to shitty consumer behavior that is evident everywhere, not just online reviews? I really don’t know who this is helping because I’m not going to start using a more inconvenient way of ordering

I’ve come to just not give my business to restaurants that don’t want to exist in the modern world. It’s a high risk, low margin business. The fact they don’t want to support any type of delivery with these apps shows to me they don’t care

What’s exactly the issue here? In my eyes, I’m paying for a service that does the ordering as well as delivery of food. What’s the difference between me calling in and having to physically drive to a location to pick it up and doordash doin

If this were an individual you’d have the FBI breaking down your door, confiscating everything, charging you with a felony, and spending decades in prison. But Ticketmaster with a revenue of almost $2 billion is charged only $10 million. Ju

Oh look American exceptionalism has degraded into making excuses for why our situations are uniquely worse than any other place on Earth. Give me a break.

The full title of the article is “The 17 coolest custom mechanical keyboards we’ve ever seen”, not “The 17 most ergonomic mechanical keyboards we’ve ever seen”. Pretty disingenuous to judge an article’s merit over a subject it was never mea

The U.S. has been losing ground in pretty much every single metric that can possibly be measured for success of a country. I don’t see their treatment of the Internet being any different and it’s only a matter of time before another country

The only statistic you need to know to justify America being a shitty country with even shittier healthcare is that it is only one of two countries in the entire world that allow pharma companies to directly advertise to consumers.

How can you look at how bad Covid is across the entire nation and point out California as not doing the things you noted? Measures were taken, but all the measures in the world can’t prevent this from happening if the people in this country

How is seven months of a quarantine that people didn’t take seriously equivalent to an entire generation being raised without social interaction? Obviously wrong clickbait headlines, ad tech, and for-profit news are on my top-5 list of thin
