Now they are wringing their hands, making empty gestures, and VOTING for the Republicans measures. STOP supporting them. They are never gonna be a party to protect the people. They're there to ensure we don't vote for a party that will protect us.

This is tired. Blaming the people the Democrats have hurt and ignored, rather than examining the actions of that party.

They were literally helping bomb civilians, criminalizing protests, and laying the ground work for trump's fascism.

Did you know Netanyahu was due in court today for his corruption trial?

It was postponed because to the resumption of the war.

"It was the Biden administration, it was the Democratic establishment, that has created the conditions that we are now seeing taken advantage of," Palestinian scholar Noura Erakat says of Mahmoud Khalil's arrest and the Trump administration's crackdown on dissent.

They are so divorced from reality it's ridiculous. We need a better alternative than these corporate schills.

I owe an apology to all James Bond movies. I mocked them for having completely unrealistic, cartoonish villains that simply weren't believable.

2025 has made it impossible to levy that criticism anymore.

I've never had the pleasure, but that tracks. I think the only cable provider I've ever had a good experience with was RCN

Additional note: you'll still have to talk to spectrum sometimes. Cell loss can be a modem problem but it's more likely issues with the local loopback or the wiring in your house. Sometimes too they have issues going on that the support folks have no idea about and they're just running a script

18.02.2025 19:19 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Yes. I always do this with cable. Make sure you buy the right docsis spec. (If you're buying new chances are good it's the right one). You will always have to call in to get it activated because they have to allow the physical id of the modem. I have generally bought Arris surfboards.
