So that’s what that feels like.

Only because you took their bikes.

Bike thieves aren’t usually as fast as regular cyclists.

I mean, at the end of the day, we’re talking stepper motors, switches, a resistive heater, (EDIT: or two. Forgot about the heated bed) a thermistor (or two, heated bed again), a few fans. maybe a solenoid. What you’re usually buying with a 3d printer is the hardware and the mechanical engineering that went into it, The on board software is… sufficient, but there’s a reason things like Octoprint and Klipper are so popular.

So people will start distributing presliced gcode.

Nixon wasn’t the head of a cult. There’s two theocracies at play here.

Potential recruits: If they’re not even going to feed you properly, what makes you think they’re gonna pay for college?

Sorry, you need Bruce Wayne money for that.

Sorry, would you prefer if no politician said it at all?

Should we pretend that the economy is great?

I just do think he deserves a tiny bit of cred for some of his efforts

I think that once he supported genocide, he lost the benefit of the doubt. And that was the most telling demonstration of who he always was and always intended to be.

What he was doing in and of itself wasn’t bad

What’s not to like about breaking the law to sell weapons for genocide, after all.

but it was ignoring the shrinking enthusiasm of the democratic base and the growing of the maga rhetoric

Biden made a ton of promises that the left wanted in order to get elected. We got inflation instead of a minimum wage increase. We got told that the economy was getting better while the price of everything but an hour’s work went up. Telling people who can’t afford groceries that everything is great because it’s great for billionaires is a shit message from shit people.

Biden said that his decades of experience in the Senate meant that he could work across the aisle and accomplish his campaign promises. We watched members of his own party stymie every promise he made to the left, and watched people who just got what they wanted make excuse after excuse about how powerless and impotent the presidency is. After 4 years of watching trump do whatever he wanted with impunity, and just before watching biden ignore the Leahy law so he could sell weapons for genocide.

His heart was in the right place. Sure, if you consider genocide to be a virtue and lifting Americans out of poverty to be a vice.

Centrist democrats agree with him.

About everything at all times, but particularly this.

Oh, this is fucking RICH coming from you.
