AVL is great, if not worsening and getting outrageously expensive these days. TBH I don’t even live in Asheville proper anymore, I actually like not paying $2k per month for rent. I’ve got my eyes set on Detroit in the next year or two.
Firestorm is the anarchist bookstore, no? I’ve not been but it’s been on my radar for years. Might have to check it out this weekend now that you’ve reminded me.
Agreed neighbor. Swing by Asheville sometime if you’re from NET (TN refugee here)
Can you elaborate on your RSS setup? In 2025, I’m planning on switching entirely to text-based mobile browsing and RSS sounds like the best avenue for me
Yes. If anything, I avoid buying products that I see ads for, period. My ad blocking is pretty extensive, I’d say, so any ads that I do see must have a pretty huge marketing campaign behind them.
I can’t trust that a company can make good products when theyre spending so much conspicuous money just on advertising. Makes me feel like the company is 10% R&D, 90% marketing.
Word of mouth is pretty much the only way I learn about new products, and even then from trusted groups/people. Reddit posts pre-2016 or current, but niche interest communities, are the best for this.
I mean the election polling. Where she underperformed worse than most people thought, which exit polls showed her biggest criticisms came from being confused by her policies.
That’s part of why Harris polled so low. They had so many angles of attack that they tried to go with all of them instead of focusing on one or two serious differences and biting into it. The campaign looked unfocused and superficial.
Affordability is what Dems need to focus on in 28’ and they need to start that messaging now. Drop the IdPol talk, it’s not working. Things are going to get worse for people’s pocketbook, MAGA is going to say it’s from the Dems in Congress/Govorners/etc. and the Democratic Party needs a counter to that.
Entirely me, I raise the whole quality of this website with my contributions. PayPal and Venmo in the bio
