Not even that, they’re focused on a fraction of a fraction of the electorate while ignoring the third that doesn’t vote. It’s illogical.

That worked, thanks! I was able to get my token. Unfortunately, it looks like the module 'does not support track downloading' lol. Guess I'll just use a site downloader for this. Normally I use the Qobuz module anyway but this particular release wasn't on Qobuz.

 

When using Orpheusdl (not sure if I'm allowed to link to it) and specifically the Apple Music module, you need to put your user token from the web player in the configuration. Does anyone know how to retrieve this? I am currently an Apple Music subscriber.

You can check out this module for OrpheusDL. I haven’t personally used that Apple Music module but I have used OrpheusDL and it grabs lossless from other services. Not sure if Atmos changes things though.

Jesus never said anything about trans people either yet Christians sure act he did

I’ve frequently seen this claim, and similar ones, but it doesn’t really make sense. If not voting for Biden or not voting at all is actually a vote for Trump then his votes outnumber Biden’s by a landslide since ~80 million people don’t vote. So, by this logic, Trump should win and it shouldn’t even be close.

Yeah I agree with the sentiment, use whatever is good for you, but I feel like most advanced linux users are not using Mint. They typically come to the realization that everything is either Debian, Arch, or build it yourself so they use one of those.

Do you have any particular policies or are you just going to make claims? Trump’s policies were not good for the American working class, which is the vast majority of Americans.

His landmark legislation, the 2017 tax cuts, gave temporary marginal cuts to working people while giving substantial permanent cuts to corporations. He promised to fix healthcare. He didn’t. He promised to stop jobs from going overseas. He didn’t and, in fact, more jobs went overseas under him than Obama. He promised to fix the national debt. He increased it. He made a terrible deal with OPEC to cut oil production, which led to short term gains but eventually caused oil prices to skyrocket when economies recovered from Covid. His trade war with China hurt the US economy (for example, farmers who he had to bail out).

These are just some examples. There are many Biden policies that I am against but if you’re going to claim this admin has been worse for Americans than Trump’s admin, you need to provide examples.

I think the most hypocritical part is obviously the guise of data privacy. But even regarding national security or foreign influence, I think there is some hypocrisy because we know that there are foreign actors on Facebook, for example, as well.

This is interesting because I literally found out about the Hong Kong protests on TikTok and have seen a lot of content about the Uyghurs on there as well. Of course anecdotal evidence isn’t really evidence but it’s interesting nonetheless.

Then there would be 2,639 billionaires instead of 2,640 billionaires.

…it’s not moving the goalposts. My initial comment stated it was a problem and that’s what my second comment said.

Again, cancer only kills ~600k in a year, which is only 2/10ths of 1% of the population. Better yet, it kills over 10x more people than car accidents. Does that mean car safety isn’t worth talking about?

And I’m not saying there isn’t a problem

This statement makes me think you are saying that:

…do you see why some people are saying this isn’t really worth talking about?

I do think this is worth talking about, just like I think the hundreds of death row convictions that have been overturned are worth talking about or the ~500k homeless Americans are worth talking about or the kids who have been killed in school shootings are worth talking about. These are all tiny percentages of people but they are still problems that are preventable so we should try to prevent them, which requires talking about them.
