Republicans control a lot of state government positions. It's part of their whole strategy.

Sort of like those old Mac vs PC commercials where everyone liked the PC guy more
I don't actively use it, but I don't see the point in deleting my account? My HOA is only on a Facebook group, so it's the only place I can go to check for updates on some stuff (typically trash day getting moved, neighborhood pool stuff, etc). That's the only use. My understanding is that Facebook tracks me even without an account so doesn't really seem like I'm gaining anything other than good feelings by deleting my account.
It's not like I've gone out of my way to delete my old Myspace or xanga accounts either, I just stop using them.
Famously the music for that famous 'you wouldn't download a car' anti piracy disclaimer was stolen and used without permission from the creator.
I'm absolutely going to hear some Karen later repeat this fact as a reason to protest against 'government crackdowns on salt' or something, aren't I?
Same. I originally got it for YT music. I don't listen to as much music as I used to without a commute anymore, but my wife and I watch a ton of YouTube. And it's mildly more difficult to block ads on the Roku too. I know pi holes exist, but my wife plays those freemium games that give you currency for watching ads and blocking all ads will break shit for her and then I have to fix it. Someone will tell me there's an easy solve I'm sure, but honestly the subscription is just way easier and I really don't mind paying. $16/mo for a family plan is 100% worth it to just not deal with all of that.
Last time I checked: tab groups. Yes there are extensions for it, but all the ones I tried were either really over complicated or buggy. Chrome tab groups are pretty simple and seamless to use.
But I'm going to have to figure something out because I'd rather lose tab groups than ad blocking, so I'll have to switch to something.
Are like Uber drivers and stuff able to lie about tips? Not sure how that works when everything is through the app and digital. Would've thought that they'd have exact documentation on how much you were tipped for the most part.
The conspiracy theorist in me sometimes wonders if this type of thing is deliberately done by bad actors to sabotage these movements with poor messaging.
Some ideas are so bad you make sure they never get released
You would have the freedom to abstain on every vote, but you have to submit the paperwork. I wouldn't force someone to actually vote for a person if they didn't want to, but like taxes or jury duty, they have to show proof that they completed the task. If that ballot is effectively blank, well that's their choice. But I feel that getting to enjoy those same liberties you speak of requires you to at least minimally engage in the process.
Personally I'd rather have someone randomly fill in bubbles than not vote. As they're randomly filling stuff in, maybe they see a name they recognize and they actually cast a real vote. That's a win.
Rather than malicious or a scam, this is closer to the class rep promising free vending machines. They don't have the power to give this and they're unlikely to convince the people that do have the power to actually do so.
That's not really better exactly, it's still deceitful, but only because they can't actually deliver, not that they can, but choose not to.
