We’re going to see how that plays in Congress. Way too many special interests.

I wish I knew someone who was disappointed. The only two people in my life that aren’t Trumpers are my daughter and her fiance. Everyone else thinks that gas will got back to $1/gallon and food prices will return to pre Covid levels on Jan 21.
- Comment on It was rigged? 4 days ago:
The only way we watched is on my wife’s Ipad and it was because we weren’t watching live. We were about 10 minutes behind the live stream. I tried to join on my Google TV and Netflix would crash.

Very few people can recognize that level of dissonance. They have twisted stuff in their minds so long it’s impossible to see it.

- Comment on Usage Of Elon Musk’s X Dropped 30% In The Last Year, Study Suggests 8 months ago:
So would I but good luck getting your average local sheriff or office of emergency preparedness to use RSS. Most of their “IT” staff is the deputy who is “good with computers” meaning they can open a PDF file.

It’s a shame because Twitter is a perfect platform for the kind of one-way communications required by a news agency or local government agency. Maybe Mastodon or Bluesky will fill that void.

It’s only fair.
- Comment on Usage Of Elon Musk’s X Dropped 30% In The Last Year, Study Suggests 8 months ago:
I think the focus on bots was primarily used in an attempt to back out of the deal. It was never an issue, especially if it inflated his ego by pumping up his account.
- Comment on Usage Of Elon Musk’s X Dropped 30% In The Last Year, Study Suggests 8 months ago:
I was never active in terms of posting but I followed several news outlets, local government agencies, and a few friends. Shortly after Musk took over I saw nothing but right wing nutjobs and a lot of posts from Musk. I tried unfollowing but nothing worked ao I quit logging in. I need to cancel my account but haven’t taken the time.
- Comment on Tipping culture npcs 9 months ago:
I’ve always tipped 20% for good service and 15% for average or below. I usually don’t tip less that 15% unless it’s just abysmal or I’m picking up a to go order in which case I usually do 8-10%. Several of the restaurants around me have changed from 15% / 20% on the suggested tip to 20% / 25% and a few have even added 30%. And I’ve also noticed the suggested tips are calculated on the after tax amount, and some restaurants that charge a credit card processing fee calculate the suggested tip on that amount. I tip on pretax and pre-fee totals and cap at 20%. If it get worse, my eating at restaurants will start becoming less and less.
