  • bad in a clear way and define a simple test.

    The reason for this is both terrible and simple. It’s because they don’t want to be caught in obvious contradictions when “If a republican does it, it’s fine. If a democrat does it, it’s wrong”.

    This is absolutely so that if a Democrat president decided to do exactly what trump did, they’ll allow prosecution because “inciting a riot to steal an election is obviously not an official act.” This leaves the door open for Ken Star style witch hunts against their political opponents.

    We have a fascist supreme court.

    An insulated box with a decent compressor does not cost 10k. Making a compressor that fails after 2 years is actually hard to do, something both LG and Samsung spent time and money to achieve.

    Consider, for example, that nearly every car manufactured with an AC. Which is exactly the same tech as a fridge. Yet you rarely end up needing to replace the compressor on your car. You might need to recharge it or clean it, but not replace the compressor. 10k of your car price isn’t the HVAC.

    There’s some appliance breakdown vids (idk if Rossman is one of them) but the gist is Samsung and LG like to put cheap plastic parts in high wear locations which inevitably fail.

    Fridges are dead simple appliances. A compressor and evaporator coils with a temperature sensor. There’s absolutely no reason they shouldn’t outlast you and everyone you love.

    It’s insane these “premium” brands are built to fall like they do.



  • This is not the left cannibalizing itself. This is the democrat leadership taking advantage of a candidate who will end democracy and instead propping up progressively worse candidates election after election. Instead of going with a candidate that is even moderately popular with the left of the party, the democrats put in a candidate who is best known for compromising with the right.

    It’s, frankly, the result of the wealth of the democrat party stomping down anyone that would potentially raise their tax burden.



  • To be blunt, even this isn’t CRT.

    CRT is more generally “for the longest time, non-white people have been excluded from civic participation which has led to laws and structures that implicitly benefit white people”.

    That is, it’s a concept about political and legal power in the US.

    And what’s more disturbing is what the right ACTUALLY means by CRT. They are mad about civil rights AND the historical facts about racism BEING TAUGHT AT ALL. Literally “we don’t want kids taught that slavery and segregation existed and/or that it was morally wrong”.

    I think correctly defining CRT somewhat misses the more disturbing problem of “wait, what DO you mean by CRT”.
