People tried. They didn't even come close.

Huffman is using the same strategy as his idols; just blatantly lie. It's far harder to refute lies than it is to lie.

Why the fuck is she not out on bond right now, or in a cell?

Two reasons, (R) and ($).

"Low income", as defined by the state, is anything below $70,650 in Los Angeles county.

Empress has a long history of narcissism and delusions of grandeur. I hate to link back to reddit, but there's a good but outdated writeup on hobbydrama. She's only gotten worse since and is now going hard on bigotry. She's trying to form her own little cult too.

Did you guys sell to the US Midwest? My parents tried a satellite service and it went quickly from the best option available to them absolute trash. They switched back to their <1 mbps local ISP after a few months.

Revanced has a patch for the official app.

Relay still works too. The dev is also in talks with reddit about paid API access, but hasn't had it shut off.

Hypernauts (1996). It's an old TV series that was cancelled part way through airing. I found a complete season on a TV archive project website, but it's 480p and has baked in Japanese subs that obscure a lot of the screen. The show itself isn't great, it's just something I'd like to collect.

If you're into Tabletop Simulator they have the whole thing there. Check the comments for other versions with built in scripting and such.

Well, the image did crash my app when I tried to open it.

Metal tracker is the best around. Now if only I could get a signup confirmation email to go through.

Seconding Flonase. It opens me right up, even when I'm sick.

It's nice that there are no baked-in subs, but the quality there is pretty bad and it's missing 5 episodes. I appreciate the help in any case.

Ah, too long ago then.

The DNC doesn't have any involvement in local candidates, they're only concerned about the presidency. You probably mean the DCCC if you're talking about a house rep. DNC is not short for the Democratic party, it's a specific committee.

Much the same way people on the left have been adopting the Republican definition of socialism, as in any time the government does anything. Like having basic welfare or some such suddenly equals socialism.

Now people have been overusing neoliberal so much that the ill informed have started using it for people that are clearly pro government spending, pro social safety net, pro regulation, etc. Discussion becomes unhelpful when people redefine the means by with we identify ideologies.

Communism is the communal ownership of all means of production (not just the workers owning the place they work at like socialism) and communal distribution of resources based on need (ideally). A hippie commune where everyone works a job and everyone is distributed food, goods, etc. based on their needs without money being involved is a solid, small scale model of communism, though there are a lot of issues and various theoretical solutions when it's scaled up beyond a group of like-minded individuals who all know each other. In theory such a society is classless and has no use for currency. The reality is such a society has never actually existed and things fell apart along the way, usually by someone seizing power in the transitionary period and the state becoming a dictatorship instead.

For small scale references, worker cooperatives are a good example of socialism and communes are a good example of communism.

I've only found very dodgy quality rips. It's been a constant struggle and my wife and I are huge Stargate fans. I currently have a lot of mix and match files that I've selected as the best quality ones from many, many different season packs, and I still wouldn't call my collection anywhere near good.

When it comes to defining economic systems, no. Unless the workers own the means of production, it's not socialism. Even social democracies like the Nordic countries is just capitalism with safety nets and strong unions, not socialism. Calling such a system socialism only muddies the waters, which is exactly why Republicans do it, to conflate basic welfare systems and unions with evil socialism! We shouldn't empower Republican talking points.
