I don't even look at that thing. I scroll right past it.

The beautiful thing about Teflon is also its downfall. It's such a stable unreactive product that it never breaks down! Ever. Also the process of making it is pretty awful, too.

i wouldn't expect anyone to watch a video longer than 3 minutes on the subject.

I see that you too have heard the prophecy.

i didn't say tax evasion isn't the real problem. i said that the meme is blaming the wrong people.

it's GE's (And politicians) fault that GE is evading taxes, not the IRS.

Same. This has been the story of my entire adult life and It's so frustrating in it's own right.

If other peoples' tax evasion is your big concern then you hate the wrong people.

I haven't used a new printer or an inkjet in a number of years now, but using my 18yo HP laserjet is a matter of plugging it in and checking it's status under the main distro settings menu. That was also on par with the windows process iirc.

I do remember 20 years ago when I had to sideload pcmcia wifi drivers, though.

It's easier to steal, copy, or alternatively subpoena a fingerprint.

Immigrants being on the right is also implicit. Almost nobody is gonna migrate to some place new because things like recent changes are going well for them in their country of origin. They instead leave and migrate to some place that is relatively more stable & predictable. Host countries don't like it when people migrate over and start agitating for change. As a result conservatism is built into the process.

–Consider the Cuban Communist. The Cubans that are happy with Communism have no major incentive to leave and resettle in Miami. The Cuban Capitalists OTOH flee to Miami where they espouse the evils of Communism while advocating for our government to continue the trade embargo, ensuring they can spread their pain to their fellow Cubans back in Cuba. It's the same exact story with Falun Gong
