Don’t try to simulate this by adding sugar to concrete.

I thought there was some way to use Jelly on the backend with a Plex client!

Jellyfin over Plex?

How does that work with Roku/smart TVs?

The example you gave was Democrats enacting legislation requested by the Black caucus. It is the job of politicians to listen to the citizens. Black citizens asking for laws to help the Black community are not racist by definition. Are you going to use affirmative action as an example of Democrats being evil too? Maybe you should understand the examples you are using instead of repeating Russian talking points.

Percentage of blacks in prison:

1970 41%

1980 46%

1990 53%

2000 36%

2020 32%

Yes Blacks are still over represented in prison populations. But the crime bill did not increase the number of Blacks incarcerated.

I actually lived through it instead of learning “Biden bad facts” from Russian trolls a year ago.

Funny how you are only now not interested in my thoughts after I proved your claim to be wrong.

A policy demanded by Black leaders having unintended consequences is not a Ratchet effect.

It’s kind of weird to not read the post, make a post that showed you didn’t read it and then stealth edit your original post to make it seem like you read.

Pregabalin - Just do it.

I hope they used rfc1149.

??? The last line of the OP was about connecting everyone in Cyberspace (the Internet) and claiming it would freeze culture.

Not physically but Tesla and Facebook steal your data. Everything that makes you an individual to the global economy is stolen and sold.

Black communities asked for the bill. It was written by Black leaders.

“Rep. Bass is right. According to a 1994 Gallup survey, 58% of African Americans supported the crime bill, compared to 49% of white Americans. Most Black mayors, who were grappling with a record wave of violent crime, did so as well. As he joined a delegation of mayors lobbying Congress to back the bill, Baltimore Mayor Kurt L. Schmoke said, “We’re trying very hard to explain to Congress that this is a matter that needs bipartisan support.””

“In a recent interview Rep. James Clyburn, a member of the House leadership and one of the most powerful African American elected officials, reflected on the reasons for his vote in favor of the bill. “Crack cocaine was a scourge in the Black community,” he recalled. “They wanted it out of those communities, and they had gotten very tough on drugs. And that’s why yours truly, and other members of the Congressional Black Caucus, voted for that 1994 crime bill.””

The internet has killed innovation

How is that the opposite? The OP claimed the Internet would kill innovation.

Edit: oh, the pic

Give an example from either of those crime bills that is specifically right wing.

Because I don’t see lynchings happening anymore. Nor do I see lynchings written into either of those crime bills. I don’t even see in the bills where it says minorities are to be arrested in greater numbers than whites.

That minorities are over represented in prison isn’t written into the crime bills. That’s a problem of systematic poverty in minority communities.

American politics are simple. You vote in the primary for the person that represents you. You vote in the general for the party that represents you. Americans chose Trump through voting or abstaining. They are responsible. No one else.

Leftists gave Trump the win in 2016 because Hillary wasn’t Bernie. That handed the Supreme Court to the Right Wing. Then leftists handed Trump the White House in 2024 because Harris wasn’t pro Palestinian enough. It’s face eating leopard time. But my conspiracy is leftist agitators online are right wing shills to get moderates to not vote. Bannon even said he did it.

You are directing the conversation to anything other than the argument that the ratchet meme is a lie.

You picked Nixon earlier. If it was non stop right wing movement from 1974 with Democrats doing nothing we’d be back at segregation and rivers on fire.

American voters put the right wing in power in all branches of the government. They are the ones turning back the progress that Democrats achieved. The knob is going back and forth. It’s not a ratchet.

One person blocking improvement the other does something bad is both sides bad. Using all caps doesn’t change that.

Then why did oil production go up under him?

There is a difference between pumping oil from existing wells and wrecking new natural habitats for more oil.

Clean Air Act

Johnson, Democrat 1963. Too long ago to be relevant which is why I mentioned something newer.

Biden championed the crime bill in the 80s that led to mass incarceration.

??? Stopping crime is right wing?

We went from rivers so polluted that they caught fire and acid rain dissolving all public art to mostly clean rivers and air. If it was a ratchet we would have continued to go backwards. We would have gone from no gay marriage to criminalized. We would have gone from one river on fire to most rivers on fire. We would have gone from BLM back to segregation. The Ratchet Meme is a lie.

Such as? I remember enjoying it but I don’t remember anything about it.
