Wtf is this even talking about? 41% approval isn't even close to the lowest a president has ever had for a term average, let alone a single day.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is the most divisive president in history with the delta of approval from the left and right being so starkly contrasted, but 41% isn't even that low.
Nixon's second term approval was 34.4%
Bush jr's approval rating was 36.5% in his second term.
In terms of historical low water mark points:
- Clinton got as low as 37%
- Biden got as low as 36%
- Dumpy has gotten as low as 34%
- Carter got 28%
- Bush Jr was down to 25%
- Nixon got down to 24%
- Truman got down to 22%.

I'm not canadian and i'm certainly not a dumpy supporter but realistically what the fuck would you ever want to buy from the US that is actually made 100% in the US anyway?
By that you mean you're buying indonesian, vietnamese, chinese, ecuadorian... and probably a ton more imported things because nobody really manufactures much of anything in USA or Canada outside of a handful of things that are costly to transport.
because tons and tons of potential solutions exist. At the core of this class of product is a very simple computer that costs next to nothing. FOSS software exists to accomplish the same goal and for minimal cost someone can compete with them.
Synology doesn't really control anything. In the enterprise segment they tend to be tiny little offerings that are on the small end of SMB. Their bigger bulkier enterprise stuff is easily overshadowed by any real enterprise offering from a larger hardware company, though i've seen some exist even in larger orgs but it's not because something else couldn't have done the job.
Anyone starting fresh has to do some work to catch up but it really depends on the use case. Basic NAS/DAS functions are so trivial.
vacations are more for new experiences, new food, new cultures, new people. Not just “consumer behaviors”.
This. I haven't gone to multiple countries in latin america for weeks to just buy shit. The food in lima is some of the best i've ever had, just don't go alone for safety :P
Because not all of us are sadists. The guy deserves what's coming to him, but it's more than just him.
Aside from the nazi there are tons and tons and TONS of workers who are impacted by the nazi's choices. They all stand to lose their jobs, bonuses etc out of all of this. If the nazi didn't exist, there would be no negative connotation with the business. After all, they just make EVs and deal with power generation and storage for the most part, as a business.
Then there's all the people who have retirement funds which have invested in the business simply because it's been growing traditionally. I have index funds, so I am personally affected by the valuation loss. I don't think i'll avoid buying more QQQM or VOO either, it's just traditionally beating most fund managers by a large margin with minimal expense.
I'd love to see the guy lose his compensation package and lose his CEO status and board rights, but I doubt any of that will happen. I'd love for him to be prosecuted by all the illegal shit he's personally directed in these past months, but I doubt it will happen.
Ultimately thinking of all this shit is still net negative and not uplifting for me. Give me some news about how the guy is being forced out and that the workers are being taken care of or something and i'll be all for it.
I agree with you man. This isn't uplifting news.
It may feel right and just that the guy is getting push back, but we think more about his other actions and it drags us down, rather than lifting us up.
It'll get tons of upvotes in all kinds of other subs because most of us want the guy to get hit by karma hard, but it's not about us feeling good.
No class can teach you what it feels like to be a few bucks away from homelessness.
When the class is over the billionaires go back to their worry free lives. The poor worry about ending up on the street.
It's the year 20X6.
I, his inheritor, am sorry to inform you that GabeN has passed. I've realized that I want an even larger pile of money, and it's come to my attention that you aren't paying for us to maintain your account.
You have 30 days to download your content or subscribe to Steam Plus at a cheap $X9.99/mo to avoid account deletion.
Why these people absolutely hate this one guy is completely indeterminable.
it's like the only thing dumpy really wants is to never be told no, regardless of how wrong his mistake is.
You're literally not their market. That's why so much of what they focus on are digital only sales, consoles, deals and schemes. They want buy once at full price, never resell.
They aren't your friends, they don't care about you - they care about the money in your pocket.
They know they are too big to fail, so they are gonna raise prices 50% no problem.
Steam is not free. Steam is 30% cut to businesses.
Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft offload their costs via yearly subscription costs as well as developers paying a protection fee to launch on their platform. Steam just has the highest protection money scheme. You wouldn't want anything to happen to the games you're publishing through them, would you?
As you get older it's no joke what kind of medical conditions can make something so simple end up being so difficult. 1/50 is not even a stretch.
I'm certain this can be disabled in windows at any moment as without it loads and loads of criminal evidence would be available for discovery and litigation against the wealthiest people and businesses across the world.
A real fear is being a worker in a world with micromanagers inspecting your workweek, 3 second snapshots at a time.
I'm not ok with shipping anyone to foreign prison camps. There's zero reason why we should ever do that, with exception of a valid extradition request from another country.
Sure and Santiago is a horrible example. I was just there a few months ago. It feels the most like boston of anywhere else in latin america. When I was in el salvador I thought I was gonna get robbed at the airport, where they pat you down at each departure gate.
The wages are livable, the neighborhoods are safe(mostly), the housing is affordable, the food is terrible (compared to lima anyway.) I couldn't get enough of the mountains.
In lima I was getting cased by pickpockets, in santiago I didn't ever feel that way. Lima's traffic is on another level. Santiago's rush hour is much more organized and you have way more street lights and better drivers. In lima as a pedestrian you have to RUN so they don't hit you. In santiago they stop and let you cross - something nearly unheard of in a lot of other latin american nations.
Education quality is a tip of the iceberg.
Talk to someone who went to a public school in say the dominican republic. I've heard stories of years of kids just waiting around with next to no actual teaching involved from someone who was physically there in their childhood. If you don't go to a private school odds are you aren't going to get any real education or structure beyond what you pick up at home... and odds are your parents were in the same boat.
The US education system has been nothing like that, it is going to get like that in the south though. In remote low population areas it's very possible to get bad - and clearly some teenage pregnancies disrupt things in the US, but in the DR it's a lot worse.
You should see major cities in latin america if you think that's bad. In many countries it's like they don't even care.
The US has no excuse though, we should be way, way better.
