Go to the wedding. That is a really big deal. After that don’t engage with him on politics. Maybe don’t engage at all. Show up for birthdays and maybe a holiday or two. Do the ‘quiet quitting’ of family interaction. You aren’t going to change their mind. I’ve been trying for 20+ years and it’s just gotten worse.

Especially since it isn’t true.

Borracho beans look good, gonna have to try that.

Poor Vilfredo. First the fascists coopt his theories, now…

And this pattern holds across a shitload of rich people too. Singers who could afford to not have to have that waitress job and just focus on promotion. ‘Entrepreneurs’ who got ‘small’ ‘loans’ to start their 10th business that finally hit. Real estate moguls who had actual intelegnt people bring them plans they rubber stamped and claimed to be brilliant businessmen.

They are rich so they must be smart is the biggest pile of bullshit.

The Conan soundtrack is truly epic. Put it on while doing chores around the house, suddenly you are doing quests. Cooking? No you are making a feast to celebrate conquest!

California has the second largest population of Republicans in the US after Texas.

Doesn’t it have its roots in forcing clerks to give change and recording the sale (rather than pocketing the money)?

Plus adding tariffs to everything.

I found out about it on Android first but had a hard time with the interface. I put it on my PC and am now fully addicted.

I was concerned. I have a family subscription coming due and no time to migrate. Really glad I don’t have to.

That was my thought as well… It says coming soon.

I’ve definitely let my wife write her name.

I remember liking the design of the Xperia active. https://m.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_xperia_active-3998.php

The fact that it was waterproof, had the built in strap holder for securing it.

Make it lightweight durable and super long battery life (small screen, OLED) and you have a great device you wouldn’t need to baby.

Unfortunately it’s never going to happen. They don’t do niche phones now. Everyone seems to have accepted phones are going to be generic slabs of glass. All about the same size. Boring.

You answered your own question. So they don’t need a warrant. For a fee, they can run ALL DNA collected against just about everyone, no probable cause required.

All the more reason for broader legislation than a half baked idea about buying just this one database.

Honestly, the law enforcement implications of the government buying the database is just as scary as a 3rd party. Hell I bet a company buys the data and sells access to the FBI, and local law enforcement for a subscription fee.

They DID agree to share it.

Should that have been an option? Probably not, but now you are talking about legislation with wider implications, not some half baked public trust to protect a small group of people.

There are other databases of genetic code out there you know. The FBI can potentially accuse you of a crime based on your cousin uploading info to a genealogy website.

Why should they?

Anyone who used 23 and Me agreed that their genetic code was able to be used my 23 and Me for whatever they want. Why is it now the job of the government to jump in and give those people retroactive protection.
