Joke's on them. This kind of stiff makes Trump supporters like him MORE.

@ZeroSum06

I'd be typing numbers in the billions and wondering who was dumb enough to try them.

@ZeroSum06

I'm middle aged and it's been over a decade since I listened to the radio, but I've been listening to long form talk audio for longer than that.

And there was a big buy right before COVID too, IIRC, so I expect more than half of them are now under the influence. But the programming can't slowly move left because the stations don't control it anymore. It would have to be a hard flip now. And a hard flip will get noticed.

@ZeroSum06

Don't get me wrong. He's an evil man based on past performance. Honestly I doubt his sanity at his age, too, but that's beside the point.

The point is radio has little direct influence over conservative news anymore. Even TV and cable have little influence. I would be more afraid if he had purchased Daily Wire or Rumble or The Blaze or X. As it stands, the only thing his estate purchased was an old resource few want anymore.

@ZeroSum06

I agree he is corrupt and the way he obtained the stations is corrupt.

I'm just saying it has gained him little influence beyond radio bandwidth. It is a dwindling populace that actually listens to the stations he now controls, and the former radio hosts (now podcast hosts) know that, so he has gained little influence over them from the purchase.

@ZeroSum06 This is not to say they don't listen over the internet. Just that Soros is more likely to sell the spectrum off for internet access.

@ZeroSum06

How do they measure reach and listenership?

They measure the range of the antennae based on power level and calculate the population in that area.

How do they measure listenership?

They send out little booklets to people who listen to the radio and ask them to write in the times they listen and pay them a dollar for their trouble. They then extrapolate, based on the nearby population, based on that self-selecting, filtered sampling.

If nobody listens, reach is irrelevant.

It's ironic. On just about anything I am far from racist. Not like hating my own race (stupidity border lining on retarded), but not hating or discriminating against other races. But when it comes to judging attractiveness of women, it's like I'm living in the 1940s. Women who aren't my race are like men with boobs. That part of my brain is hard coded.

@ZeroSum06 Too bad nobody listens to the radio anymore. What a psychotic waste of money.

@kirby

Meh. Gentoobros understand. I once had a computer running Gentoo that was so old that it took an entire week to build open office... And then another update to open office came out. The system was speedy as a web and file server, but the updates took so long that it couldn't stay up to date.

@wjmaggos @gabriel

Trump's not really against restrictions on keeping the environment clean, where it directly affects the ecosystem and humans (clean water, clean air, no dumping of pharma waste in the water, etc.). It's where it gets into the more theoretical limitations like CO2 production and peak oil that he disagrees with RFK, assuming I understand their positions correctly.

@Dwalrus

At 400 yards, even a practiced shooter would be hard pressed to make a head shot. Obviously a well trained shooter could do it, else the shooter would be alive today. But specifically targeting an ear without killing the target? That's "why didn't the cop just shoot him in the leg" talk.

My UX OCD makes me want to find this sign and move the words to 1 line or 4 lines. It'll be a week before I move past this.

@ZeroSum06

A person for $9.99? Are there no abolitionists in Canadia?

@icedquinn

Where is "I disagree with them and so therefore cops are bastards" ?

@ZeroSum06 @Soretski

Man, back when Steve Gibson reviewed Bitcoin and it was paying out at 50 coin I said to myself "I'm going to regret not setting up a miner." And I do. I finally bought in after the failed Tea Party on 1-6 and thus bought in around 30k, riding the drop. Was going to sell for a new computer, but got a little windfall elsewhere so buckling in for a while longer.

@sup66 @alex

Well, I would not categorize and stereotype in the way that article does. An app that was generating more complaints was removed. Regardless of whether the app's participants are feminist or straight up misandrist, high complaint volume leads to app removal. And high complaint volume for the removal without valid reasoning also gets removed. It's how the internet works.
