You still can vote for him…you just have to write his name. Same for Trump in Colorado. Problem is, many of the voters probably don’t know how to write correctly.

Why did they install Windows 11?

Beg to disagree. See: “Amish Mafia.”

This is a way to pass the buck to Biden for the government shutdown. He’s likely to veto that, if it even gets there.

Much like with Katrina, Acapulco has been completely destroyed.

Unlike Katrina, there’s absolutely zero support for the people of Acapulco. The Army or the Navy didn’t get there. There were no shelters. No food distribution, no local or state government.

While the Red Cross was able to get there, the government is now saying they won’t let humanitarian relief get there, and only the army will help…of course, the army wasn’t even able to get the president to Acapulco, because the idiot decided to go by land…and hit stuck in mud.

Homes in Acapulco are not insured, and the fund for disasters that the coincided to have to help in situations like this has been depleted.

I don’t condone stealing…but there are no food supplies and people needed to get something. The looters that took TVs, and such…personally I thought it was stupid…and then I realized something: In a video someone yelled: “Walmart is insured…”. These people know they have lost it all, and they will never get it back. There ways of providing for their family are gone. As a human, I don’t blame them from wanting to get back something…I think it’s kind of dumb…but now I get why they did it. Walmart will get paid, but their life’s are ruined.

There are choices. You don’t like Apple Pay, get an Android phone.

Apple is manufacturing the phones and creating the ecosystem associated to the phone.

Because they manufacture the whole thing, they may get away with it as a hardware feature, which they protect for security and privacy reasons, which is their sales pitch to their customers.

Apple doesn’t sell its OS to other manufacturers.

Google does. And because they do that, they have to let other manufacturers have access to the OS features that manage payments through .

Android phones have been dinged with vulnerabilities through NFC technology.

Microsoft has been dinged with anti-Trust losses because they forced their features on other devices and quenched other manufacturers to do what they wanted. Apple doesn’t deal with other manufacturers. Apple doesn’t force customers to only do Apple Pay for transactions. Sure, it’s a feature they offer, but you can use Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, etc. with your phone. Even Google Pay. Just not with the phone’s hardware. They don’t even force you to use their card to pay.

In fact, Google and Samsung could use the payment system from Apple, if they create a bank and a card. But no, they can’t design software that could create vulnerabilities to Apple devices…and if that’s Apple’s competitive advantage, why should they give it away?

Mexico’s constitution always allowed for abortions in cases of rape or danger to the mother or fetus.

Doesn’t matter if it’s a mass exodus. If we want to use that word: It’s not like all of Egypt left Egypt because of the Pharaoh…this is still a good place to be in. Away from the pettiness I see in the main media.

All those ShowerThoughts that were blocked by bots, only to be reposted for Karma by a different person…yeah, somehow that’s going to be rigged.

And that could be Threads, unfortunately.

If they’re like NewsUser and Botittest, the bots will flood this place when they start. Even though these two good bots have made this place a lot more usable, it feels like that’s what the “All” thread has become. Just news.

Don’t get me wrong, I like the news feed, but now I understand why it became a separate thread in Reddit.

Whichever the instances that lowered their guard were, there will be a day they will have to be defederated. It’ll be a test for this place, for sure.
