78% of Men disapprove of Democrats, per Quinnipiac. Almost 8/10 disapprove. Makes you wonder who the remaining 2/10 men that approve of them even are - basically a couple effete urbanite men?

Call me crazy, but the exodus of "men" from the Democrat Party is historically unprecedented, and the growing perception that they and their supporters disparage and look down on men (which was cultivated for many years and pointed out in the media for a long time) will be a big issue for them eventually.

As an aside, I walked by a bunch of middle school boys the other day, I heard one of them call another a "Democrat" and the rest of the boys laughed. It was an insult to them.

The funny thing is that this has nothing to do with Trump either - this was entirely their own making.

They are FUCKING AWESOME too. Just one banger after another. Why the hell is this group never discussed? Why had I never heard of them until now? Their stuff is old too, mid 80s mostly. I think they came up in a random hair metal mix from spotify. WTF??? lol

Wanted to give props out to Emily. I know she gets daily hate threads made on this sub, but even if I don't agree with her on everything, she is so nice and pleasant to listen to, and gives the "conservative" perspective in a nice and inviting manner. I would like to be IRL friends with her, much more than Krystal, honestly.

EDIT: 8x42!! not 10x42

Has anyone tried both?

Ive tried the 10x42s at Bass Pro and they were great. Does the extra inch and 3-4oz of the 10x50s matter a lot?

Also, do I have it right that the 10x50s are more magnified, harder to find stuff/shaky? Or is it not that different? I guess I don't get the difference in the 50s vs 42!

I really like my life. I love my 12 electric guitars and my car. I love being able to go out for a nice dinner with friends. I like my job and get paid well.

Then I get on Reddit and see leftists literally advocating for violence and violent revolution. Cheering on the death of anyone not leftist. Making "Luigi" a hero.

I don't know how many of these people there really are that think like this, but it seems to be increasing a lot. These people openly support violence and death of their political foes. They openly yearn for revolution.

Any revolution would lead to a lot of dead people, and like every communist or socialist movement in history, would quickly turn authoritarian. Our entire way of life would be violently altered.

I do not want to change my life because these people feel like losers. They are indeed losers. And they can't be allowed to endanger my life or the lives of my loved ones due to their naive revolutionary fantasies.

hi! I am going to Alaska this summer and want some better binoculars. Have A/B’d Vortex binos at Bass Pro and the Razor was certainly better than the others (but not like a huge amount).

‘Have there been any competitors released that I should also consider?

‘price range is up to $800 but prefer in the $500 range if possible

I still don't really know how to use it with Ableton well, but I use it way more than my midi keyboard to come up with melodies and stuff. You can come up with really interesting chords on it! It also looks so damn good, I feel like I'm playing a musical instrument in the Star Trek universe.

Now I just need to pour over youtube to figure out how to actually use it to record in ableton!

There is really no doubt anymore that Leftists want the rest of us either dead or in constant threat of danger. There is nothing remotely racist about "pretextual stops" for things like expired tags or illegal tint, and in fact enforcing laws on these things makes the roads a lot safer and keeps irresponsible deadbeats off the road who often don't have insurance. Its a common sense safety issue that helps keep people in compliance with road laws (driving, like voting, is a privilege). The fact that one race or another is pulled over more than other races for these violations is completely irrelevant when the issue is road safety.

This vote will endanger lots of good people on the roads, and reward irresponsible deadbeats from following any road safety rules, and will do absolutely nothing about "racism". Leftists hate us.

City Council votes to limit LAPD ‘pretextual’ stops blamed for racial discrimination

The L.A. City Council voted to limit ‘pretextual’ stops that been blamed for racial disparities in traffic enforcement.

The measure will not change the LAPD’s policy but requires the Police Commission to take up the matter.

The LAPD chief and others have defended the stops as an essential law enforcement tool against guns, gangs and drugs.

The Los Angeles City Council on Wednesday voted in favor of new restrictions on so-called “pretextual” traffic stops, signaling a growing impatience with the Police Commission’s failure to rein in a controversial LAPD tactic that critics say enables racial discrimination.

The vote requests that the department’s all-civilian watchdog adopt new guidelines similar to San Francisco, which bars police officers from pulling people over for broken taillights and other minor equipment violations unless there is a safety threat.

“Board of Police Commissioners: Get this done; we’re watching, no excuses,” said Councilmember Imelda Padilla, who shared stories of her late father being stopped by police with no explanation. “This is what this generation wants.”

If the new policy were adopted, LAPD officers would be prohibited from stopping motorists, bicyclists or pedestrians for minor violations “except in cases where the violation poses a significant and imminent safety risk.”

Has any party ever fallen in disfavor among one group this fast? I can't think of any. Hispanics used to be a guaranteed vote for Dems, like not that long ago.

It is my unpopular opinion that this might hurt Dems in elections moving forward.

Is this a common issue? Was really excited to get this plugged into tonight but the dang usb wire won't fit into the recessed USB port of the push 2. Like the edges of the recessed port block the housing of the usb b wire and the male usb b section isn't quite long enough to plug in

Is this a common issue? Can anyone link a isb b to c wire that works?

Never had this happen with a usb port before

I've watched tons of videos today on push 2 vs push 3, doesn't seem like a huge difference except for the MPE. Looks so cool.

Can anyone who has used both help me choose here?? Is push 3 worth the extra money? I also have some other synths that support MPE like pigments

I am a white guy and actually attended two (2) Black Lives Matter protests in support of the general protest (although I HATED the riots and the BLM movement turned out to be a total fraud HTH).

People were holding signs at the rallies I went to saying stuff like "I relish in your white tears" and "Burn it Down" and "riots are the voice of the unheard" and some pretty blatant anti-white slogans and other messed up blatantly racist and violent slogans and I was I guess expected to just act like it was normal and just nod my head along to it. I even saw all sorts of silly communist flags, some guy dressed up like Mao, some wannabe black panther types in military fatigues and AR 15s, etc, it was just weird.

And nobody at the time was calling this rhetoric out. If you questioned this rhetoric in any way, you were yourself accused of being a racist (??), reported to your job, etc

And then the media ran articles saying these same things a lot, and had lots of commentators saying these fiery, divisive and racist comments on mainstream channels like CNN. Major Democrats like Pelosi and Schumer were literally bowing in reverence to BLM wearing stoles made of Kente cloth.

Man, 2020 was such a messed up, weird year.

Maybe its just me, but I'm glad that the blatantly racist rhetoric promoted by the media and democrats in 2020 is no longer "acceptable" and really relegated to the more psychotic leftists (who still say this same stuff and basically want people like me dead).

I have a R36s, and it works pretty nicely but sometimes startup is janky. How quick and solid is the quick resume on the Brick?

Also what is the situation with arcade games on it? Does Naomi even work on the Brick?

I have an AYN Portal Pro that is barely used (never use it since I got my Thor) and its gathering dust.

What's the best place online to sell these, that is safe? I don't have an ebay account and have never sold there.

It's just my opinion, but having 1/3 of your registered voters believing stuff that is more wacky than the most insane Qanon comment can't be good. Just don't see how this is going to help anything. See https://x.com/AndrewKerrNC/status/1814063261555331236
