They've both been owned by BHN for a long time, which was acquired by Silverlake Holdings.

Kroger, Albertsons, and about 2 dozen other grocers are all owned by Blackhawk Network and Silverlake. They also sell the most gift cards in US.

If you only want certain people to be educated, then we should have private charter schools with tax payer dollars. Given that model, I'm opposed to my tax money funding education because it's for profit MBA nonsense that ruins ev

Let's pretend EV fires aren't exceptional. Sunlight certainly is a problem and you can see that in Tesla's own data.

We want schools to be good for everyone in the country. The only reason we're seeing change now is because of regulatory capture. If we continue to privatize schools, everyone is going to be really stupid. Voucher schools should be fre

I completely agree, but silver spoon idiots don't get it and need hand holding.

I don't understand. Infowars would be owned by the same people if Musk or Trump bought it. It would be funny if the Onion owned it. MAGA cult doesn't really do humor, just cruelty.

I think you're missing context? Infowars is rabidly pro-MAGA. Trump appeared on Alex Jones numerous times. The Onion is an entertainment company with more attachment to reality than Infowars. I would like to think a judge wouldn't

If each car has someone piloting it because the tech can't do it, maybe the tech is the problem? I don't see how cameras can succeed. Sunlight and fog are constant and not practical to work around with visual data. I'm glad t

Consider this: If we try to reinvent it like with charter schools, then we need endless regulations to prevent scams because people are greedy and act in bad faith. Rather than make government huge and try to prevent tax grift, we could jus

i suggested you investigate charter schools in poor neighborhoods. they're the scams.

A default SMS app is required for Android. It's made by google.

You're right. Fuck everything. Let's reinvent the wheel. We don't need books either or roads.

Go speak to 10 new teachers at charter schools in poor neighborhoods. Get the fuck out of your own head. The "charter schools" are scamming us for tax dollars. They hire fresh grads, tell them to make a lesson plan for the year, a

There's room for private schools, but vouchers can't be a thing. I understand public schools can't accommodate every crazy religion, but public education is a necessity for a successful country. Once people get enough first h

It seems like they want to turn your contacts list into a slack like messaging service. I don't want that. AIM was alright, I just need text messages.

I need a default SMS app for the OS. Telegram isn't listed as an option. So I can't modify the default.

There is also the loosening of education standards since covid. I think literally anybody can just say they're a teacher in Florida now. That might be an exaggeration, but slightly.

I don't think there's a need to distinguish for those alive in USA. This has all happened in the past 10 years. It was accelerated with DeVos in DoEd ... which is literally the epitome of regulatory capture. Coincidentally, this p

It's because of school privatization. Notice the sharpest declines in low performing students based on race and income. It's a disgrace. Idiocracy is booooooming.

This shit is sick and the divide will only expand with GOP desire to privati$e public education.

Also, as soon as I opened the app and got into it one of my contacts began messaging me. I don't know why or how they did it, but I then deleted the app.

sms is the messaging protocol typically used by phones. it's the default for text messages on android. mms is group message and rcs is another protocol. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS

I downloaded Telegram and tried to use it, but it looks like it's not for SMS. More like a discord sort of thing. I'm trying to find a decent SMS app for Android. I don't think one exists anymore.

Thinking about it, this sounds spot on.

The only way I could see this being regulated by the incoming admin is if tariffs make the batteries too expensive which would only decrease the scope. The cult claims to want to eliminate all government regulation.

Well. If you study quantum physics and the folks who found it like Max Planck, they believed in "a conscious and intelligent non-visible living energy force .. . the matrix mind of all matter". I don't know much about multive

Okay. The messages are encrypted in flight. I will never use a Meta product.

I'm not familiar with Telegram other than it's popular in EU? Why is it less frustrating for you?
