So you read one study, and didn’t know social science are about mean changes overe a population and not absolute changes on individuals.

Good start, now I’ll let you dig some more on the issue.

Look at furios’s phones. They seem yo work.

One of several studies:

Yes.

But foremost, money makes you an asshole, as measured with people who had little/no control over their wealth (e.g. lottery winners.)

Capitalism is built on the notion that wealth is virtue.

That’s one of the excuses. Whatever period and place, there is a different ideology provided to explain the concentration of wealth.

Why do Republicans hate the poor so much?

For the rich: money reduces empathy. There a a few funny studies on the matter, including one on lottery winners. Plus the very wealthy live in their own bubble.

For the poor: propaganda. Lack of education in logic, sociology, macroeconomics, human relationships. A complete education is not all math and literature and hard science.

trying everything they can to harm people who need any sort of assistance?

The power-hungry want power, control, coercion. Through media power, cronyism they allied with the ultra rich who have power and want docile workers.

The dominated Republicans are fighting the ghost of people abusing the system, afraid of change, hiding in conservatism, backing into 1930s racism. They didn’t think the powerful Republicans would cut their help, only do something about their fears.

Pretend I am rich? Like how much money am I getting back by Republicans kicking men off healthcare or destroying insurance for those who need it most. It must be alot right?

It’s not about economics: healthcare and general welfare have a net positive impact, up to the point of housing homeless people costs globally less than having them on the street.

Personal gain is really at stake only when said service is repurchased by friends of the government, e.g. medical research, police, military, roads anything can go. Helping the poor can’t really be sold. Policing them, yes.

You’ll need engines for manoeuvering. Other ways are just painful and not as safe.

Google droid: I’d suggest adding xiaomi 15T pro to your shortlist.

Degoogled if you’re into that or at one point want to try fleeing the centralized ecosystems : pixel + graphene.

The other other way: furiphone.

This is what I always wonder about people who claim that GIMP is somehow less usable. Have they used it much since 3.0? It’s 4.X now BTW.

3.0.6 stable, 3.1.x beta. No 4.x.

And the bigger change was passing from 2.10 to 3.0 last March.

So, buy fridge add-space to put the ugliest add for dumb-fridges ?

To be clear:

Grok explains itself:

Co-founder Larry Sanger has argued since 2020 that the platform exhibits a pronounced left-wing slant, attributing it to the exclusion of conservative viewpoints via policies that deem non-mainstream outlets unreliable, even when they report verifiable facts overlooked by establishment media.[89] This is evident in the Reliable Sources guideline, which prioritizes legacy media—often critiqued for institutional left-leaning tendencies—over primary data or alternative analyses, effectively blacklisting sites like those affiliated with the Daily Wire or Breitbart unless corroborated elsewhere

Silicon valley disrupting the scam industry!

So completely correct as the point you are trying to make is the point the study focuses on (definition per viewed angle)
