Hi I’m Tim.

I’m AuDHD - officially diagnosed ADHD and self-diagnosed (for now) with ASD. I also suffer from a great deal of Imposter Syndrome.

  • Trump has had several GOP “rhinos” primaried because they wouldn’t bend the knee.

    • Rusty Bowers: The former Arizona House Speaker was censured by his state party and targeted by Trump after he refused to help overturn the 2020 election results in Arizona.

    • Liz Cheney: As the former chair of the House Republican Conference and a leading critic of Trump, she was a primary target. Trump endorsed Harriet Hageman, who defeated Cheney in the 2022 Wyoming primary election.

    • Doug Ducey: Trump called the former Arizona governor a “RINO” for not engaging with his efforts to challenge the 2020 election outcome in the state.

    • Larry Hogan: Trump has repeatedly labeled the former Maryland governor a “RINO,” though Hogan has remained popular in his state.

    • Brian Kemp: The Governor of Georgia earned Trump’s ire for certifying the 2020 election results in his state. Trump endorsed David Perdue in the Republican primary, but Kemp won re-election.

    • Mitch McConnell: Trump has repeatedly attacked the Senate Minority Leader, though he has not been able to directly replace him.

    • Lisa Murkowski: One of the few remaining senators who voted to convict Trump in his second impeachment trial, Murkowski has faced heat from Trump’s allies and activists, though she was not successfully primaried.

    • Ken Paxton: When the Texas Attorney General faced impeachment charges, Trump defended him and called his Republican opponents “RINOs”.

    • Ben Sasse: The former Nebraska senator was another Republican who voted to convict Trump. Sasse later left the Senate to become president of the University of Florida.

    • Pat Toomey: The former Pennsylvania Senator, who also voted to convict Trump, retired from the Senate at the end of his term.







  • When companies have to start funding their own networks because ISPs are all down, or just known to be compromised due to bad actors, it’s going to hit capitalism over the head pretty hard. This is a great way to tank the stock market though if you are betting against “Tech” companies.

    1. Short all Tech stocks
    2. Allow “free market” to regulate itself (because less regulation and capitalism always work so great together)
    3. Make $ hand over fist when market begins to tank because ISPs can’t be trusted to route their traffic because of all exploits

     

    Carr said the vote scheduled for November 20 comes after “extensive FCC engagement with carriers” who have taken “substantial steps… to strengthen their cybersecurity defenses.

    Well if they say their doing it, then surely they are, and not just because the law your trying to change required them to. It’s like when Republicans want to deregulate the banks because they are doing so well not exploiting predator loans and/or over leveraging loans trying to make even more $. Deregulation cannot, and will not, work in a capitalist environment. Regulation is the guard rails required to keep capitalism from cannibalizing itself.




  • But why must they also allow bigotry if they allow people to express who they are? That is the biggest load of shit. So if I say “I have a husband of X years,” they must also allow someone to say a bunch of bigotry as a counter view?

    Or if I say I like open source software they must allow the trolls that want to call me a dirty hippie and tell me to get a job so I can pay for software? And I agree everything is political, and ignoring it doesn’t make it any less so.


  • The having to do something is the cost, because they have a perfectly good messaging app already, “why can’t you just use that?”

    And that cost is more on Apple’s platform because Apple has been designing it that way since the beginning. It’s the whole reason android users got a different color bubble, not because they had to, but it was a way to identify the person that wasn’t using an iPhone and make them stand out. Making it almost unimaginable to switch to Android for youth who care so much about not being “out” of the group.

    And Google has identified this, and put a lot of cringe-worthy effort into addressing it at their Pixel event this time around.
