Which is why good, decent people struggle in this world.

Air America lasted about 5 years in the 2000s, and it was exactly this. The Republicans would never let their stations die like Air America did.

I doubt Amazon had any liabiliy here - the contract they make you sign probably says “we’ll try really hard but if we lose your data, it’s your fault.” Microsoft does that with Azure.

I do miss my mom, but then I remember her doubling down on being a conservative despite her gay son having nearly been killed in 1999 for coming out in HS. You can’t argue with stupid, and you can’t indulge it either.

You weren’t paying attention to the alt media igniting and fanning the flames as the pandemic unfolded, it was like Covid itself started broadcasting and posting on forums. Unbelievable shit.
