Nothing will be done about it.

Actually, if they do anything, they’ll probably just ban personal phones entirely and lock down issued devices. Because that’s the easiest solution instead of dealing with the root cause.

He can both be scared shitless and try to fuck with them. Those are not mutually exclusive.

In fact I’d say that’s the most likely because they definitely messed with the elections last time, and I think I was a lot closer than it was supposed to be based on the responses at the time. I think even with their fuckery, the negativity across the board to things like Israel, Iran, ICE, etc. are much more strong than they thought they would be dealing with. Especially with the recent Dem wins in special elections and the strength of outside candidates in primaries.

Translation: “I’m really fucking scared about the midterms.”

He only talks about things when he’s worried about it.

Certainly starting to look like North Korea. Except with a real military, even if it’s clearly run by idiots now that keep fucking up basic things that aren’t usually a problem for real militaries.

Survival rate is one thing, thyroid shit is annoying as hell. She’s probably been dealing with complications from it for a while. If that makes anyone feel a bit better via schadenfreude.

Except a good chunk of the military was also replaced by him and the cohort. So even that seems to be fucked up.

I’d say Trump picked/was coerced into attacking Iran for a few reasons…

1. Israel wanted it.

2. Epstein diversion.

3. The Iran Nuclear Deal was one of the few Obama-related things still around. We know how obsessed he is with undoing Obama’s accomplishments. He pulled the US out of the agreement back in 2018 but the agreement itself was still in place with the other countries and Iran was still generally abiding by it, until Oct 2025 of course.

I don’t think we’re giving number 3 nearly enough credit.

Clearly not a NYer. You’re right. And thank god. Couldn’t stand it if nearly everyone in my city considered a type of food as part of their core identity.

Absolutely everywhere and open late (one of my favorite memories is getting drunk pizza at 4am with a bunch of randos I befriended at Stonewall) Not actually pizza-related at all. There are tons of places open late, especially in large cities.

Often times cheaper than anything around them Not pizza related either, food pricing is largely based on supply and demand. It’s generally cheap because there’s lots of competition nearby.

Large enough to fold in half and eat with one hand while running to catch the train Can’t think of a single time I’ve needed to do anything similar to that. NY is filled with people that can’t time manage apparently.

Perfectly crisped with just the right amount of burnt crust, fresh tomato sauce, and melty cheese You’re describing a pizza.

Free parm I have literally never had a pizza place charge for parm anywhere I’ve ever been nationwide.

Like the other person said, chefs take their recipes deeply personally That’s just a chef thing. Nothing to do with pizza specifically.

Tangentially related, wtf is going on with Pittsburgh style pizza? Pittsburgh style isn’t too crazy to be honest. It’s a far cry from NY style, but so is most other styles of pizza. Why is there so much insistence on just cheese in NY? Live a little and get some toppings on there.

Have you even seen Altoona-style pizza? Made widely famous thanks to it being where Luigi was arrested. Sicilian-style pizza dough, tomato sauce, green bell pepper, salami, topped with American cheese and cut into squares. That’s an abomination.

New York pizza culture is a cult. Tired of people acting like it’s something handed down by a God. NY style pizza is honestly pretty mid in the grand scheme. It’s a generic American pizza style originally created in the early 1900s and largely became popular because it was affordable leading into and coming out of The Great Depression.

Not just $5-6 gas, but grocery prices have skyrocketed in the past 2 years. A large part of the Base are retired and on fixed incomes. Paying more for groceries hits them hard, and is consistent week after week, month after month always reminding them and constantly contradicting the lies.

That’s the Republican base that votes R no matter what and doesn’t pay attention to reality. Dipping below that means some of them started paying attention.

Probably because they’ve finally been personally affected by some of his policies and are reacting to the fact that he’s not actually targeting who he says he is. That doesn’t mean they recognize the error… Just that they’re willing to break because they’re affected now.

100% chance it will also spy on the phones and send that data to an insecure MAGA server piped straight through to ICE for filtering out anyone not loyal to the Reich, I mean Trump.

Of course. And it’s glaringly obvious. It ignores the Gaza Genocide as even being a possible influence.

What about the GDP, did you think about the GDP?

Money actually moving around the economy grows the GDP. Money accumulating at the top actually slows economic expansion.

Yeah that’s what deserts do.

But Phoenix isn’t a desert anymore, it’s a big concrete pad that works just like any rock you put into a hot space… it absorbs heat through the day then radiates it back out once the sun is down. They replaced the desert but didn’t leave holes for it to still work the same.

Yeah Tucson has a lot of blank spaces spread throughout the city when you actually get down to the street level. Lots of open areas for the heat to be absorbed by the earth rather than just getting trapped in concrete and asphalt everywhere.

Ah yes, by… 3 months. After over a decade of no support.

Eventually. Maybe sooner than we think.

Phoenix has been insisting there’s 100+ years of water under the mountains, etc. for decades. But every time there’s been any sort of effort to verify, it gets killed either by the government or courts on various ways.

Phoenix also loves to concrete over absolutely every open area, removing natural heat sinks into the ground. It’s one of the big reasons the Phoenix area is as hot as it is and maintains that heat overnight instead of actually cooling a bit like other cities in the Sonoran Desert region.

It very much is on some TVs. While there are apps in the corresponding store for Roku, WebOS, Android TV, and Xbox, that still leaves out Playstation and Samsung for instance. Samsung has more than 50% marketshare of premium TVs.

While you can install an app by jumping through hoops, it’s not an easy one click install which is what average users need. You can install a Jellyfin server by clicking next a bunch of times. You can get your media there by dragging and dropping it into the media folder. You can install the TV app on most TVs just as easily, but for Samsung you need to do all sorts of extra steps.

A quick Google does give step by step instructions on reddit for instance… but it requires users to download a specific version of Tizen Studio with the CLI (which most people are scared of, they need a GUI to use their devices). They need to connect to their TV remotely via that tool. They need to generate and install security certificates. They need to get specific versions of the Tizen Jellyfin app, that aren’t managed by the Jellyfin team, from a random Github. Then rename those files to extract them, inject their certificate, rebuild the package, and send it to the TV remotely… all in the CLI.

That is WAYYYYYY too complicated for the average person. Even with the step by step instructions, people skip steps and skim things without even thinking about it. Most people can barely click next a bunch of times to install things without messing it up somehow. Anyone who’s ever worked support can tell you that. My parents and probably half my friends would NEVER be able to follow those instructions without messing it up to connect to my server. And that even assumes they have a PC to run the software in the first place, many people no longer have a PC, they just have their phone and maybe a tablet.

On the other hand, Plex has an app in the Tizen store. Emby, which Jellyfin was forked from, also has a Tizen app in the store. Those people can just go and click install and they’re done.

“Missed” meaning they probably disclosed something they were supposed to keep off the books.
