Wait – how many republicans are running for the nomination? (Make America Insane Again)

https://preview.redd.it/2o6krmeck64b1.jpg?width=283&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3f28eb0517d97333f4634838302738c6c21217cf
Photo Above - newly svelte candidate Chris Christie will announce next week - if it was Noom, Golo, or surgery . . . Not shown - pictures of the other 9 GOP candidates already in the mix.
Yikes . . . there are ten republican candidates already!! And apparently none of them can win the general election. This is what 4 years of Trump toxicity gets the GOP. A tarnished brand, overrun with second tier candidates promising a makeover. Which of these would YOU be tempted to vote for?
Donald the Mump is the presumptive nominee. He's so far ahead of the field that railbirds with $2 bets on other horses have torn up their tickets and left the track in despair. Quick . . . can you name ANY candidate other than DeSantis who wins a primary state? Can you name a state other than Florida that DeSantis wins? (I'd place a small bet on Texas, but nothing else). The Trump aura has only grown darker and more disturbing after years of ranting about an election that wasn't stolen, denying rape allegations, and struggling to explain how national security secrets ended up wallpapering his Mar-a-Largo mansion. However, these scandals seem only to engage – not enrage – hard core MAGA maniacs. They are convinced Trump is a victim, not a perpetrator. That he will magically trounce Biden this time, despite lacking new issues and ideas.
Ron DeSantis (sigh). In a field so lacking in personal charisma, he sets the bar low. A ferret faced former lawyer whose campaign staff may have already gone brain dead. Certainly, they can't be encouraging his strategy to make Disney and school library books the pillars of his campaign. If you want ideas about the economy, foreign policy, public education, affordable housing, narcotics, you'd better look elsewhere. If this guy wins a majority of delegates somebody better start yelling “stolen election”.
Mike Pence. Yeah, he's still around. Will announce his candidacy in Iowa next week. Because, you know, Iowa is the epicenter of relevance in America. Who the heck wants to go to Iowa in June? Not reporters, for sure. Pence struggled to create an identity as Vice President. His role in preventing things from getting worse on January 6th is adequate, but not inspiring. Quick, name a VP running against his own president who ever got the nomination. Throwing campaign contributions in this direction is worse than useless.
Tim Scott – no not THAT Tim Scott, former governor of Florida. I mean the black senator from South Carolina. It would be great if Senator Scott was really campaigning. But announcing your candidacy, and then telling everyone that prayer is the answer isn't a real campaign. The only unmarried candidate. If elected, he would be the first bachelor president since Grover Cleveland (1884). Senator Scott USED to brand himself as the only 40-year-old virgin in the senate. He stopped that a couple of years ago. Maybe someone told him how absurd it sounded. In any case, some people will be praying for you, Mr. Scott.
Nikki Haley – former governor of South Carolina. Trump's ambassador to the UN. All but invisible on the campaign trail since announcing some time ago. There's a bot-operated website where you can leave your credit card number if stumble onto it be accident. Nikki is so far under water nobody watched her CNN-fronted Iowa town hall last night. The NYT and WaPo are ignoring her. The WSJ almost is. America may not be ready for a half-hindu, converted to Catholicism woman in the White House. At least the MAGA crowd isn't. A long shot to become the nominee, and getting longer. This is what happens to republican candidates with no campaign funds. They have to depend on the generosity of CNN to get a sliver of airtime.
Vivek Ramaswamy – whooo? Some CEO who runs some investment company. He's vigorously opposed to ESG investing (environmental, social and corporate governance). Never been elected to nothing. This is not a serious candidate - this is a vanity project. But remember - people said the same thing about Trump. Vivek's latest campaign misstep: he suggested that Ukraine should give a bunch of land to Russia, in the interest of world stability. And he said this AFTER watching DeSantis get his ass kicked for the same thing. Vivek – any thoughts on Taiwan, while we're on this subject?
Asa Hutchinson – another “who”? 72 year old former Arkansas governor. A centrist. Grandfatherly, not a good public speaker. Well, that's what we have now in Biden. And Biden promised to govern from the center, too. And look at what a crock THAT turned out to be. Republican primary voters clearly don't want a candidate who will govern from the center – they demand vengeance! And centrists who aren't party members don't get to vote in primaries anyway. There's so much he's doing wrong here . . . do I need to keep going?
Rudy Giuliani. Once an engaging, young-ish republican mayor. Savior of NYC after 9/11. In 2008 a wildly popular GOP figure. His minions have been whispering on Twitter that he will declare soon. They aren't saying when or where or why. This is called a trial balloon, with plausible deniability. Just what America craves – a candidate afraid of his own shadow, seeking plausible deniability. You rock, Rudy !!!
Chris Christie – former governor of NJ. Party animal. Good ol' boy. Once closed some bridge in NJ as revenge for a mayor who snubbed him. An ambulance patient died while being delayed. Geez . . . do we have to mention THAT? Well, the media certainly will. Christie's candidacy is like Pence's . . . “near Trump”, but without the misogyny and other hate speech. Surprisingly, he's already got a major newspaper behind him – the Washington Post. They don't want to see him elected. But the Post does say he's the “best hope” to avoid a Trump nomination. They just don't say how. There's reporters for you . . . predictions without polls.
Jamie Dimon – CEO of JPMorgan Chase. Another stealth candidate by Twitter. If you think Wall Street is the answer instead of the problem, he's your man. He hasn't declared for a party, but he's roadkill as a CEO and Wall Street mover if he enters democrat primaries against Biden. As if there would actually be primaries. I'm willing to buy into the concept that Dimon knows how money works. But again, so did Trump. Trump simply didn't know how ANYTHING ELSE worked. But I'm not writing off Dimon. He'll get a lot of free press if he runs. Look at how many likes his Tweets got. And no paper trail. Dimon didn't vote for or against some obscure legislation 20 years ago that will come back to haunt him. But as a matter of principle, I don't make campaign donations to billionaires. I bet I'm not the only one who feels that way.
Anyone who thinks ten candidates are already too many doesn't remember the 2016 primaries. I believe there were 17 republicans running then. Look at the ones which still might to jump in again: Ben Carson; Lindsay Graham; Mike Huckabee; John Kasich; Rand Paul; Rick Perry; Marco Rubio; Rick Santorum; Scott Walker. These are guys with decades more experience than some of the 2024 candidates. You know a bunch of them were working the phones over the memorial day weekend. “If he/she is in . . . why not me? I polled higher last time. I have name recognition. We need a savior, for pete's sake !!!” (full disclosure – this is an imaginary phone call I made up). Republicans have a giant and 9 dwarfs now. No prince charming yet. Make America Insane Again . .
Looking ahead – I'm going to diss the democrat candidates soon. Biden haters please stand by.

Starlink Versions

Starlink V0.9

The first batch of starlink sats launched in the new starlink formfactor. Each sat had a launch mass of 227kg. They have only a Ku-band antenna installed on the sat. Many of them are now being actively deorbited

Starlink V1.0

The upgraded productional batch of starlink sats ,everyone launched since Nov 2019 belongs to this version. Upgrades include a Ka-band antenna. The launch mass increased to ~260kg.

Starlink DarkSat

Darksat is a prototype with a darker coating on the bottom to reduce reflectivity, launched on Starlink V1.0-L2. Due to reflection in the IR spectrum and stronger heating, this approach was no longer pursued

Starlink VisorSat

VisorSat is SpaceX's currently approach to solve the reflection issue when the sats have reached their operational orbit. The first prototype was launched on Starlink V1.0-L7 in June 2020. Starlink V1.0-L9 will be the first launch with every sat being an upgraded VisorSat

Starlink V1.5

These satellites include laser links to other satellites. Prototype lasers were launched to polar orbits on Transporter 1 & 2 with production launches beginning with Starlink 2-1.

Recent developments have helped to substantially increase the potential of two of the group’s asset positions, while adding to the overall corporate valuation. Our sum-of-theparts (SotP) indicative fair value is 43.6p."
2023-02-02 W H Ireland Research W H Ireland (broker) 14.5p WHI View: Our assessment is that the Amapá mine could be company-maker for Cadence. We are firmly of the belief that the current market cap is more than covered by the legacy investments that Cadence holds in various new technology metal companies and projects and that the addition of the Amapá stake to its portfolio can only be value enhancing. In our opinion, the development of Amapá will be transformational for Cadence and we see fair value at 71p/sh with plenty of upside potential.

2023.06.05 03:27 flossregularly Weekly Discussion Thread: Comics, TV, and More! [June 5, 2023 - The Waid on West Edition]

Hey there honorary Justice League members - it’s a new week which means it’s time for a new discussion thread!
For those who don't know: the way this works is that several comments will list this week’s releases, for any given title discussion you should respond to that comment. For example, Wonder Woman discussion would go in the replies to the "Wonder Woman" comment. Clicking the titles in this post will take you directly to that comment, too.
In other words, you should only be replying to other comments. If you have trouble understanding how to comment for a particular title, please refer to this handy guide. Any unwarranted top level comments will be removed.
Also, please refrain from posting short, low-content comments on threads for issues or episodes that have not yet been released. Put some effort to generate discussion. Instead of just posting "So excited!" or "Best book!", try something with a bit more substance, like "Punchline is such an amazing character! Can't wait to see how they explore her in more depth in this issue."
Join the Monthly Book Club! This month's book is Saga of the Swamp Thing, Book 3 and you can join the discussion right now here!

  • Honda, Marisa - 11
  • Chun - 10

The table above will be edited periodically, so keep checking in from time to time and see if there are any news, additions, roster changes, etc.
Obviously it's still launch week, people are labbing, testing and experimenting with the roster, meaning a lot of the character picks you see so far probably aren't finalized and likely will shift in the coming weeks, especially as we approach the start of the CPT 2023 season when players actually settle for the mains they'll use for the competitive side of things.
Also probably worth noting that the CFN ID nicknames can be changed at any time, so it's possible that by the time you look at the thread some of the IDs won't be accurate anymore. The number profile codes however are permanent, but you can only look at them directly in the game on each profile's page, which I am unable to access. That's why it's a good idea to add these players to your favourites' list in CFN when you can to keep track of their matches and also potential name changes
If I missed somebody or if you spotted an errooutdated info or you have some valuable stuff to share such as CFN profile codes - leave a comment below so I can update the post as soon as possible
Enjoy

Some members of the China Social Democracy Party were accused of being agents or doing bad things.In 2016, Bowen Press reported that Zeng Dajun, the chairman of the China Social Democracy Party was a CCP agent who infiltrated the overseas Democracy Movement and who had caused the arrest of many people in China, such as the China Social Democracy Party member Wang Xiaoning (王小宁).

Chen Yangchao and Zeng Jieming had a conflict on a forum of the Democracy Movement

Chen Yangchao is the author of "On Privilege" and a participant of the "Democracy Wall" movement. Zeng Jieming is an exiled Chinese who participated in various dissident publications.In May, Chen Yangchao suggested that Zeng Jieming was a CCP spy on The Independent Review.Below is the continuation of the online conflict translated from Chinese to English.On May 18th, on the Independent Review forum of the Democracy Movement, Chen Yangchao wrote another post criticizing Zeng Jieming. In this post, Chen Yangchao called Zeng Jieming a "suspected communist agent", a "Little Pink", and a "gangster" ("共特嫌疑人小粉红混混"), and accused Zeng Jieming of supporting Russia against Ukraine.Zeng Jieming: "[...] What pro-democracy activist are you now? Since 2008, after you fought with Wu Fan to be the 'President of the Transitional Government of China', ended in failure and shame, except flattering the tyrannical dictators, writing letters to persuade Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao, and Xi Jinping [note: Zeng Jieming used the nicknames 僵贼泯, 胡紧套 and 习正恩], proclaiming the emperor to 'create peace for all ages', what have you done? Is flattering and persuading tyrannical dictators the 'democracy movement' according to you? [...]"Chen Yangchao: "You immoral, corrupt thing that reverses black and white, didn't you see my series of long essays against the CCP? [...]" Chen Yangchao also attached a long article about the Christianity and Chinese politics.Zeng Jieming: "In October 2011, you and Liu Guokai (刘国凯) visited my residence by chance and were warmly received by my partner and me. Later, Liu Guokai reluctantly left first, but the next day, you left angrily. For a long time, I didn't know why and thought that my hospitality wasn't good. Later, I finally understood: when taking the group photo (my wife took the photo), I didn't let you 'saint' stand in the middle, but let Liu Guokai stand in the middle. [...]"Chen Yangchao: "In October 2011, to reconcile the conflict between Liu Guokai and Liu Yinquan (刘因全), before flying from Los Angeles to New York, I made an appointment with Liu Guokai to meet and exchange ideas at your home. I went to see your family who just immigrated to the United States.After that, you propose to take a group photo. Guokai was a person who personally experienced the Democracy Wall movement and the shocking influence of 'On Privilege' at that time. Therefore, he insisted that I stand between you and him. Because I thought that you just arrived in the United States and needed Liu Guokai's help, and should help strengthen your relationship with him, I insisted that he stand between me and you. So we pushed each other several times. You said: 'It's better to ask Chairman Liu to stand in the middle', and I also said: 'Guokai is welcome to be in the middle.' Only then did the mutual pushing between me and Guokai stop. After the group photo, I took a photo while holding your son who was born after I took a long-distance taxi in Bangkok to visit your family in Thailand. Where is that 'fact' that you fabricated?[...]Not to mention, Mr. Liu Guokai your wife are witnesses. If your wife is as heartless as you are, responding to kindness with hate, then the wrath and severe punishment of God will come upon your family![...]It's a pity that you didn't send me any of the photos you took this time. Otherwise, I can post it now to let everyone see if I am narrow-minded and "angry and resentful (yet)" as you said![...]At your house this time, you insisted that when I went to live with Liu Yinquan's family in Los Angeles, I was sick because Liu Yinquan drugged me; that the computer had problems because Liu Yinquan damaged it! You insisted that it was this scoundrel spy Liu Yinquan who did it! You asked me to publicly reveal this matter, and expose Liu Yinquan's true face! I have repeatedly told you that you can't do this arbitrarily. I have repeatedly advised you to improve your relationship with Liu Yinquan as much as possible... [...]"Zeng Jieming: "Only looking at your words 'he died well' when you heard the news of Peng Ming (彭明)'s death, Peng Ming's spirit in heaven will not forgive you! [...]"Chen Yangchao: "[...] I have some criticisms of Peng Ming's seriously anti-democratic dictatorial gangster tactics that are more vicious than those of the Communist dictators. [...]In the article '答友人谈彭明的典型意义和代表性兼及其它', I have already quoted a series of anti-democratic and anti-society words written by Peng Ming in his 'Democracy Project' and the 'legal clauses' tailor-made for Peng Ming from the '中国联邦临时政府约法(草案)' personally revised by Peng Ming, which solidly proves that Peng Ming — in essence, he is a typical evil breed hatched in China's century-old troubled times. [...]"Other commentsSome people commented on their conflict on The Independent Review."Guo Qinghai" (郭庆海): "I support old Chen to relentlessly pursue and fiercely attack, heheh""Leg pain" (小腿疼): "When mental illness occurs, you should increase your medication."

Wang Dan allegedly received 400,000$ from the Taiwanese government

In April 2011, multiple news media reported that testified in court that he had received two grants from the Chen Shui-bian administration totaling 400 000 USD and that the source of the money was not clear.

Wang Dan responded that the reports of him having received 400 000 USD are false.
North America Online/BBC: http://naol.ca/news/world/2011/04/16-1.htm
Later, Wang Dan said "The report [of the Central News Agency] is misleading. What we accepted is the Republic of China's government's funding of the overseas Democracy Movement. Well, if it is said to be Chen Shui-bian's personal support, then I think this is not in line with the facts. [...] What he represents is not himself, but the government of the Republic of China."Deutsche Welle: https://www.dw.com/zh/%E7%8E%8B%E4%B8%B9%E5%8F%B0%E6%B9%BE%E8%B5%84%E5%8A%A9%E5%B9%B6%E9%9D%9E%E9%99%88%E6%B0%B4%E6%89%81%E7%9A%84%E4%B8%AA%E4%BA%BA%E6%94%AF%E6%8C%81/a-14997215

2023.06.04 00:44 Immediate-Warthog935 Nonfiction Books!

Nonfiction Books!
Happy Pride everyone! 🖤🤍💜
My goal this Pride Month was to buy Ace by Angela Chen and I Am Ace by Cody Daigle-Orisns from a queer, small-business bookstore rather than a big box store or Amazon.
Nearest queer bookstore to me is Bluestockings Cooperative in NYC, which is still over an hour away from where I live in the suburbs, but luckily you can usually buy online from small bookshops these days!
I wanted to share some more new nonfiction titles I discovered just by typing “asexual” into the search bar on the website. Lots of them published within the last 2-3 years, all of them seem to cover the ace spectrum and nuances of Split Attraction (meaning they include experiences of demi, gray-ace, and other microlabel identities!)
These are just a few that had cover art available, there were plenty more on the website that sounded good too. Books range from adolescent self-helps to heavy-duty academic psychology. I’ve included book titles and links in the photo gallery captions as best I could. Anything that doesn’t have an age recommendation assume is for adults.
(If you’re into novels and fiction, I also came across this Twitter thread of ace spec books while taking a break from drafting this post up!!)
Full disclosure: I haven’t read any of these books yet! Just wanted to share my findings because I notice book and resource requests pop up pretty often on here
Even if you just use them as search engines and end up buying from the big stores bc it’s cheaper, I encourage everyone to check out their nearest queer bookstore’s website (or get to that actual store itself if you can!) to find some ace spec material! It’s great way to celebrate Pride!

Preliminary Character Usage Stats

  • Dee Jay - 15
  • JP, Manon - 14
  • Honda, Marisa - 11
  • Chun - 10
  • Cammy - 9
  • Juri, Ken - 8
  • Dhalsim, Lily, Ryu, Zangief - 7
  • Blanka, Jamie, Luke - 6
  • Guile - 5
  • Kimberly - 2
The table above will be edited periodically, so keep checking in from time to time and see if there are any news, additions, roster changes, etc.
Obviously it's still launch week, people are labbing, testing and experimenting with the roster, meaning a lot of the character picks you see so far probably aren't finalized and likely will shift in the coming weeks, especially as we approach the start of the CPT 2023 season when players actually settle for the mains they'll use for the competitive side of things.
Also probably worth noting that the CFN ID nicknames can be changed at any time, so it's possible that by the time you look at the thread some of the IDs won't be accurate anymore. The number profile codes however are permanent, but you can only look at them directly in the game on each profile's page, which I am unable to access. That's why it's a good idea to add these players to your favourites' list in CFN when you can to keep track of their matches and also potential name changes
If I missed somebody or if you spotted an errooutdated info or you have some valuable stuff to share such as CFN profile codes - leave a comment below so I can update the post as soon as possible
Enjoy

2023.06.03 01:13 Zestyclose-Level1871 How Is WME Still Representing TW After This Doxx By Tim?

Can't link sub reddit here due to potential rule violation. So linked the YT upload instead. Tim published this show over a week ago. He uploaded it in response to TW's failed NYC pap circus photo op. HIs rant starts at 4:05. But see the 10:30min where he lambasted TW for the insane stalking & harassment she was caught subjecting A lister celebs with. At an exclusive A list party event of all things:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2r_OYsQM55Q&t=1036s
Didn't realize the NYC debacle occurred after this embarrassing show of toxic behavior. TW relentlessly badgeredan A lister (this allegedly may have been Gwyneth Paltrow's directoproducer husband) at an exclusive venue several weeks ago. Her toxic SMS stalking raised more than a few AAA list eyebrows at the event. To the point where TW may have earned herself a very unfortunate reputation. So it seems Hollywood is finally cottoning on to what we've always known since her historic smash and grab escapade in the RF.
First, TW is a Chimera, unique because this chameleon character does not posses a soul.
Second, this character has a carefully crafted storyline. Which has been always lacking in elements since birth. Like a plot...
So I don't understand why A listers the likes of Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt etc. in the Hollywood/Entertainment industry aren't leaking or discussing this more? Hollywood as a whole, has been dead silent on TW's escapades to date. Especially from A list influencers in viral prone spaces like Twitter etc. From ppl like Bethany Frenkel, one of the few (and very 2020-2021 early) A list influencers who consistently addressed TW''s questionable sociopathic mental health to date.
I understand Sunshine Stinks bolting after TW & H were late with their multi $$$ paycheck for their services. SS dumping TW turned out to be an insightful business decision based on its assessment of TW as a future client. It was clear to Sunflower back then that the future profits weren't going to warrant the migraine it would take to make its difficult client succeed in life. So I can't understand how or why WME managed to walk right into the Chimera's web with its eyes wide shut.
Basically why hasn't WME checked TW's complete lack of self awareness that's been destroying her newly relaunched image to date? Is WME really as callous as the legion of unscrupulous lawyers on the Handbag's $600+/hr legal payroll? Or are they cynically sticking around to milk the last of H's book profits for their shareholder accounts? Why was WME's so slow in its triage response to correct their client's self inflicted mutilation to her new, so carefully crafted PR image? Are they really just sticking around to exploit TW for whatever remaining millions she still controls from what's left in the Handbag's bank account? etc.
I'm also starting to believe the Chimera's subconscious, sociopathic behavior is finally affecting her ability to rationally think like a normal person should. Because that's what those eye witness accounts of her incessant texting that A lister indicates. It would take that sort of delusion to keep one's self surrounded with staff who do NOT have her best professional (or mental health) interests at heart.
Amber Heard and Elizabeth Holmes can best bear witness to that sort of sociopathic mental decline....
Thanks to the revelations in the Book of Waagh (particularly where H exposes his incestuous Oedipus complex fixation, and confessed childhood belief his mother was still alive for years), Haz confirms he's always been 16 oz short of a six pack. But the Chimera definitely isn't as stupid as Haz. Since her superficial intelligence has clearly made her financially successful to date. But is that losing ground to her increasing sociopathic behavior? At what point does Hollywood and social media influencers alike begin to cancel the Chimera? Is this reluctance because TW is being protected, by default of personal association with Haz (who's being protected by some powerful 3rd parties in this country) to date)?

2023.06.03 00:19 bbqcornnuts312 First gen/mixed race Asian people, do you feel isolated?

I'm not even sure where to post this, but anyway...
I feel extremely isolated from people around in my city because it's changed so much and been hipsterfied. All the talk about "racial equity" obviously doesn't include Asians except when it can be weaponized against a tiny subset of white people.
My father is both wholly Asian and American, having lived here for 40 years. My mother is American but life has been extremely hard for her. I think I inherited her experiences and the things that have led people to treat her with contempt. (God knows she's also lacking in warmth or supportiveness and she's very domineering and disapproving, just like the stereotype of the Asian dragon mom you still observe filial obedience to.) The rare occasion I've encountered other Indian Americans at work, they were either of another generation, didn't feel at all maladjusted and were indistinguishable from the hipsterfied Americans around us, or had a totally different cultural context and were raised outside of the U.S. (making me a spoiled American/"baizu" by comparison).
I'm at the age I'm primarily only interacting with anyone but in the most antisocial of settings (to me) - work. So that's part of this, a general absence of healthy communion with people as I become more and more disgusted with the social environment of my city, and aging as people in my age cohort generally aren't looking to start friendships. I'm too old to be good friends with the 25 year old Indian kid at work who is more like a teenager (no judgment!), even though I've observed how much we're alike...he's another quiet-ish person ignored by my bigshot, bigmouthed, fast-taking-sales-guy jerkoff of a boss. He's also first-gen. I'm female and older than him.
But something else is starting to nag me more and more; I have not only few close friendships as I get older, but no Asian people to relate to about anything happening right now, or any general experience about being a hyphenate American (as I think of it)....
The particular issue is the political climate in cities we're in and seeing Asian people (all crime victims, really) battered and murdered to the blithe indifference of progressives is changing my brain. Literally the only Asian candidates amplified in this country say all the victim-eliding horseshit political radicals who justify ex-cons with 90 arrests getting away with beating someone's grandpa or the shy Asian teenager going to school by themselves to a pulp. I am incensed, every day. I feel totally powerless and hopeless every day. Asian conservatives or even just crime victims/those that speak for them are mocked as weak, elitist, out-of-touch (foreign, in a word) and acceptable targets of racism. I'm seen it. Undeserving of their own humanity. It fills me with dizzying rage.
I watched Andrew Yang's campaign for NYC mayor closely and with interest. I don't know if he had the wherewithal to do a good job as a mayor, but I relate to him. His campaign ended in humiliation because he said what most normal people say: it should be the right of an Asian person to walk down the street, without being bashed in face/that attack justified due to "mental illness".....the response by the local press and twitter was revolting, sexist, and racist. Simply put. And naturally it wasn't just white people. Quite the opposite. The worst racism I see is not from conservatives, and it sure isn't from white people in blue cities....
Nobody is going to threaten to riot in front of NYC City Council over Christina Lee (literally stalked into her apartment and slaughtered by an addict arrested a few months before for assaulting a man...no jail time, no psych treatment) or the next victim shot, violently robbed, curb-stomped by someone with a record a mile long. Or Jasper Wu. Or Pak Ho. I could go on and on. Or ENDLESS carjacking carjacking victims in cities like DC, like Mohammad Anwar (some of you might have seen that man's unspeakably violent, horrible death on camera).
One loses track of these because these stories mostly die in local news anyway, even with a handful of Asian reporters working for major news affiliates out there. It's very rare for those same reporters to see through to sentencing (or - going back to Jasper Wu - lack thereof. The CA reporters are more aggressive than the ones in NYC).
Crime victims in these cases are often already politically/economically disempowered, older, or (if they don't speak English as a first language), invisible.
The word I would describe for a lack of understanding, any touchstones or connection to other (Asian) people at this stage of my life, as I grow more disgusted & detached from people around me in the city I was born in, would be grief. Wholesale, hollowing grief. Like I'm not living a real life. It lives alongside impotent rage I can't do anything with. I've grown to despise the people that make every excuse for butchery of all crime victims, but especially Asians - specifically because the progressives that run cities command the loyalty of every nonwhite ethnic group in this country, while abetting homicides. The words of the founders of Dragon Combat Social Club come to mind here; they tweeted even Asian candidates in NY turn their backs on Asian homicide victims.
Do you any of you first generations or any of you mixed people relate? More salient, do any of you relate because of the specific problem I described?
Asian American political anger is literally only acceptable in the mainstream if it's against white conservatives. If you're living in a coastal city right now, that leaves few productive outlets to try to make this...stop. Or connect to others. To find a source of relief.
I know this is a big jumble and I worry I'm unable to express myself clearly but this is the flashpoint of what I would describe as total alienation from other people at this moment, but especially in the context of systemic beatings and murders being presented like...background noise for a yawning audience.

70 To 90
Just found out I went from 70 to 90 today. It was a pretty quick claim. I filed April 15, had my C and P on May 5, went to PDA on May 26 and claim closed June 2. I filed for anxiety and depression secondary to my already SC tinnitus. After talking to me for about 30 minutes, my examiner asked me if he could take my claim for anxiety and depression and add PTSD.... I said yes because he's the expert.

2023.06.02 09:19 FloraGoforth Perché Mrs. Robinson non voleva che Benjamin uscisse con Elaine? (Il Laureato)

Ciao a tutti, è finita Succession e l'altro giorno ho letto un tweet che recita: "It's the end of The Graduate AND the end of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf)". Somewhere Mike Nichols is smiling."
(The Graduate è, prima che un film, un libro di Charles Webb, pubblicato nel '63)
Adoro Il Laureato, quindi me lo sono riguardata e vorrei iniziare una discussione-riflessione. Ho letto tutta la critica di Rotten Tomatoes del Laureato, varie analisi sulla psicologia dei personaggi, ma non mi sono mai chiesta questo: perché Mrs. Robinson si oppone così tanto alla potenziale relazione tra Benjamin ed Elaine?
Se avete visto il film, sapete che prima Mrs. Robinson fa giurare a Benjamin che non uscirà con sua figlia (come invece Mr. Robinson, padre della ragazza, e i genitori di Benjamin suggeriscono) e poi si oppone tassativamente e insistentemente, disperatamente, alla relazione tra i due - tant’è che >! Elaine viene quasi obbligata a sposarsi con un altro e poi fugge con Benjamin, in una tarantella singolare !<.
Al di là della motivazione superficiale (se l’è scopato varie volte e Benjamin mettendosi con Elaine avrà scopato sia la madre che la figlia/ che Benjamin sia troppo sfigato e non abbastanza per Elaine - cosa che Benjamin si attribuisce), perché per Mrs. Robinson è così dolorosa la questione? Cosa la porta ad assumere questo atteggiamento e a non tollerare affatto che Benjamin ed Elaine siano innamorati?
PS: di Mike Nichols consiglio anche "Heartburn)" (tratto da un romanzo autobiografico di Nora Ephron - guardatevi anche tutti i film scritti da Nora Ephron) e "Working Girl" (che molti conosceranno come Una Donna In Carriera).

April and May 2023 watchlist
https://preview.redd.it/ggi7sqq33i3b1.jpg?width=6814&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad694365b1b63cab9874ecee5b1a0434c924ac4f
I like that some people have been posting about what they’ve watched each month, and I want to see more of it, so I wrote some blurbs on my recent watchlist. Probably wrote too much.
The Eurocrypt(s) of Christopher Lee: Like many classic horror fans, Christopher Lee is one of my favorite actors. However, I wasn’t especially looking forward to these sets, since I thought they would just be offcuts that Severin couldn’t unload as single releases. I’m pleased to say I was wrong. There are a few misfires among them (Challenge the Devil, Mask of Murder, Secret of the Red Orchid), then some mediocre ones (Sherlock Holmes and the Deadly Necklace, Castle of the Living Dead), but finally some really enjoyable films. Crypt of the Vampire and The Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism (the latter in lurid color) are genuinely creepy and eerie, with looming gothic shadows and ruined castles. Dark Places has a kind of standard “man descends into madness” plot but a fantastic cast including Lee, Joan Collins, Herbert Lom, and Robert Hardy. Murder Story really surprised me! It features a couple of teenagers who befriend Lee (as a writer) and uncover a vast conspiracy while doing research for a novel. The dynamic between Lee and the kids is fun, and although the plot doesn’t really come together, the characters are strong enough to carry it. Finally, Dracula and Son, which I was truly dreading - a French comedy about Dracula and his rebellious kid’s wacky hijinks, with that cover (https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71yHrbovNIL._RI_.jpg)? But it turned out to be very enjoyable, not quite laugh-out-loud funny, but quirky and charming. Again, the characters make it.
Al Adamson: The Masterpiece Collection: What’s to say about this one? Adamson’s approach to making films (if you make a stinker, reshoot, recut, and rerelease until you like it) and his entire life (murdered and buried under his floor by a live-in contractor who seemed to be assuming his identity) are fascinating. Even when he makes a kids’ movie it’s bizarre, idiosyncratic, and mesmerizing. Al did it all - sci-fi zombie mashups, go-go crime capers, blaxsploitation, sexsploitation, historical sexploitation, regular exploitation, borderline pornos, sci-fi sex musical epics, rape-and-revenge, stupid comedies, kung fu, teen movies, family movies, fantasies, and more I’m probably forgetting. To anyone who has the cash on hand to get a copy now that it’s OOP, please do and don’t blame me if you hate it. You’ll probably make your money back if you sell. Favorites of mine include Psycho a Go-Go, Angels’ Wild Women, Dracula vs. Frankenstein (which I remember renting from Blockbuster at maybe 8 years of age), The Dynamite Brothers, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Black Samurai, Cinderella 2000, and Nurse Sherri. Also be sure to check out the documentary that comes with it. It’s film school in a box!
Bill Rebane: This filmography was something of a disappointment coming off the Al Adamson set. If you’re going to confine all your characters to a very limited location where nothing happens, you’d better make sure you have an interesting script. And none of these do. Also pretty disappointed in the image quality of the box set. Maybe it’s just a coincidence that The Giant Spider Invasion (the only Rebane film I have not part of the box) was the highest quality and the rest just happened to have no better source materials available, but I don’t know. The Giant Spider Invasion was also the best of his movies that I’ve seen, because it seemed to be the most passionate (and had that badass actual giant spider model). The documentary on the Arrow set was not great either. Made during the height of the pandemic, everyone was on Zoom and Rebane himself was only in it for about 5 seconds. However, it led me to his Twitter (https://twitter.com/billrebane?lang=en) and website (https://billrebane.com/), which are a trip.
Bloody Terror: The Shocking Cinema of Norman J. Warren, 1976-1987: The last director-centric box set I watched recently, and one I already had some experience with. Satan’s Slave was featured on one of those 50-movie Mill Creek sets that I picked up when I was younger and watched before I should have. Satan’s Slave is genuinely well-made in my opinion, with a creepy setting, plenty of twists and turns, and enough gore to keep me interested. Prey is also awesome, despite being mostly uneventful. It’s very pleasant for being a film about an alien who comes to each to find a new source of food. Then we get to Terror and Inseminoid, both of which are awful, the latter being one of the most boring Alien ripoffs I’ve ever seen. But Warren brings it home with Bloody New Year, which is completely bonkers and a lot of fun.
Night Gallery Season 1: Maybe I was expecting too much from this. The TV movie that acts as a pilot for the series is excellent, perhaps because each segment seems like it could have been a Twilight Zone episode. Most of the rest of the season is… fine? A couple of better stories and a couple of worse ones scattered throughout. At the very least they all have good casts. However, the first segment of the last episode, “They’re Tearing Down Tim Riley’s Bar”, made up for the blahness of the rest of it. It’s one of those quintessential Rod Serling scripts about lost innocence and the nostalgia of youth that really crush me, a lot like the TZ episodes A Stop at Willoughby and Walking Distance. I don’t plan to watch it again soon, yet I can’t speak highly enough about it.
Exorcist II and III: Who’s the real Exorcist II; The Heretic? It’s me. I didn’t think the second movie was nearly as bad as its reputation - especially the sequences in Africa, which I found to be pretty eerie and dreamlike. The story doesn’t make much sense, but that’s OK with me. And here comes the real heretical opinion - the third one is better than the first, which I’ve always appreciated but never been a huge fan of. The Exorcist III has a clinical coldness that draws me to it, and I really enjoyed the relationship (though I wish it was longer) between Kinderman and Father Dyer. I’ve heard about the studio fiddling with the ending for the theatrical cut, but honestly it’s a good thing they did, as the original is incredibly anticlimactic.
Deadly Prey: “Who am I? A little man who's spent 27 years of his life as a cop trying to put big shots like you away. 27 years in the filth and the dirt of the streets, and there ain't no music down there. You watch the people on the streets, killing, raping each other, pumping dope through their veins, while big men like you sit in the fancy penthouses. And yet the poor slobs rot in hell. I know about you. As long as it puts money in your pocket. Today the nobodies who made you rich are gonna win. Die, you son of a bitch.”
Foes: This was a real hidden gem. I stumbled across it on the recommendation page for another movie on RateYourMusic, and the poster immediately fascinated me. I looked up the Blu-ray release and discovered it was out of print. Then only a week later I found a copy at The Archive for a great price and watched it right away. I’m glad I did. It’s perfect late-night viewing, hallucinatory and dreamlike. I’m going to guess the script was probably around 5 pages. If you like movies where nothing really happens and lots of ambience washes over you, seek this out, but be sure to watch the 72-minute director’s cut. The longer studio-assembled version is awful.
Death Wishes: The first one is something of a classic, and it’s easy to see why it resonated with audiences as crime exploded in the 70s. It tries to play a ridiculous premise and execution as straight as possible, which hurts, especially in comparison to the Cannon-produced sequels and ripoffs that followed. Vigilantism and capital punishment without trial are heavy subjects, and Bronson, who can’t express convincing emotion, is not a good fit. I didn’t dislike the first one since I love all movies about 70s NYC, but it wasn’t great. The second one is a rehash with an updated setting and terrible score by Jimmy Page. The third is where it gets great, finally embracing the innate ridiculousness of the premise and taking it to new heights, backed by a great cast and a simple but effective script. Don’t remember the fourth one except it’s an inferior retread of the third.
Serpico: Another 70s NYC crime movie! This one is great. Though never to the magnitude of Frank Serpico, I’ve been stuck in seemingly similar situations before, where you just feel like you can’t talk to anyone about anything, and it sucks. The film is full of beautiful shots of the desolation of the city and this poor outsider who just wants to do a little something to improve it. Highly recommended!
Food of the Gods / Frogs / Empire of the Ants / Jaws of Satan: Here we have three classic 70s nature-gone-wild films, plus Jaws of Satan, which is from the 80s so has a slightly different feel. There’s something I really like about these kinds of movies, in all their static, flat, stilted glory. Maybe it’s because they’re kind of a revival of the monster movies of the 50s I enjoy so much. I’m probably not making a good case for them, but they’re comfort food for me, and I know one of you will understand! Others that have the same energy include The Incredible Melting Man, Night of the Lepus, The Devil’s Rain, and Kingdom of the Spiders.

2023.06.01 23:25 Ready-Bat-8824 May 2023 Hilaria’s IG Recap = 18 Posts or “The peasants demand more sexy IG workout videos!”

May 2023 Hilaria’s IG Recap = 18 Posts or “The peasants demand more sexy IG workout videos!”
The latest iteration of the Baldwin PR plan is so simple it would take world-class clowns to mess it up: let Alec take center stage on his various social media platforms to drive home the point that he still has star power. Have “Hilaria” cut waaaay back on her posting and keep it light and fluffy with zero impromptu press conferences in statement sweatshirts. Maybe if the two people involved weren’t mega narcissists, this plan would have had a shot in hell. But here we are to puzzle over and enjoy the fact that these two cannot figure out how to fake being likable people. So, while the Reddit peasantry has been living life and commiserating over our sleuthing, Emperor Alejandro II and Grifty Guest Baldwin have been busy showing their true colors and likely burning through yet another PR team.
Hillary’s IG Stats
Hillary’s IG Posts Compared to Alec’s (not counting his three Twitter accounts, podcast IG, and Facebook)
  • April 2023: Hillary 16 posts & Alec 35 posts
  • May 2023 Hillary 18 posts & Alec 67 posts
Pictures of the kids
  • Hillary = 50 (multiple pix per single posts)
  • Alec = 21
  • Most exploited/photographed kid = Romeo (featured in 23% of combined parent posts)
  • Least exploited/photographed kid = Marilú (featured in .08% of combined parent posts)
  • It’s actually an excellent thing both of these wingnuts are posting fewer pictures of Carmen bc the ones we did see were sad and disturbing: a 9-year-old in bright red lips and nails, short shorts, and skimpy tops, preening in the hallway mirror exactly like her vapid mother. Just, no.
May 1 – May 15: Wrapping Up Rust & (Kinda) Following the PR Plan
Also Hillary's babies: nails, ring, brows, lashes, cheekbones, lips, & breasts.
Calling her one of the many forgotten fifth Beatles isn't it, sir.
That popped knee is the hardest working Baldwin.
  • Vulture published a puff piece entitled “Alec and Hilaria Against the World” (wut) that was egregiously ass-kissy but also hilariously poorly timed on the heels of Alec forgetting a whole ass kid. The IG comments excoriated Vulture and the author, Reeves Wiedeman. My favorite comment was: “Alec and his bat shit crazy wife have done more to unite people from all over the world and from all walks of life than the UN.”
Maybe Wiedeman should have asked, y'know, the world why this is so.
  • Jared is back on the IG rotation and those poor fried strands are hanging on for dear life.
Good thing they're prepared to quench their thirst.
  • Alec celebrated Mother’s Day by shouting out the following people in this order: mother Carol, sister Beth, sister Jane, daughter Ireland, “my wife, Hilaria, and all the mothers out there.” He sounded loads more enthusiastic talking about his priest who died.
  • He concluded his lackluster mini speech by whispering, “being a mom is something I’ve observed lately up close and, ah, it’s quite something.” What in the Jungian mother-complex is he talking about? Someday I will write a lengthy analysis of Alec’s mommy issues and how Hillary fits in.
May 16-31 Matilde’s PR Plan Goes Out the Window
Hillary: \"no espoon para me, grathias.\"
  • Then, she slapped some free Italian sunglasses on Hillary while she was holding Ila and snapped a pic that she and the sunglass company posted on their respective IG pages and restricted comments rapidamente. I’m no marketing expert but this seems like…less than optimal branding? All quiet on the Matilde front for the rest of May.
Hopefully one of the nannies is enjoying her LE REVEs.
  • Romeo’s birthday party was Hillary’s first May grid post (i.e. stuff she wants to feature permanently, unlike stories). She posted 8 pictures and Romeo was only in two of them, probably because she was distracted by crafting a caption to align with her PR posting guidelines (Hilaria is a RELATABLE MOM, Hilaria can LAUGH at their KOOKY MISADVENTURES). Mostly she comes off as semi-literate and trying entirely too hard: “Anyone else’s kid tries to buy a giant piñata at party city?!??... Carmen dressed [us] in white and red strips with jeans.” Madam, lots of kids like piñatas and the word is “stripes.” Dr. Kathy, please consider asking your daughter to pay you back for all the years of tuition you paid only to have her pretend that her “multi” brain can’t quite grasp English syntax and spelling.
  • In the most fortuitous of coincidences, Alec and Guest Baldwin attended one red carpet event in May (for an organization they donate to, claro) and Ireland announced the birth of her daughter, Holland, that same day. The pix Hillary posted versus the few Alec posted were a delight to behold.
Nothing wrong w/ the pic on the right. Sad she thinks her worth is attached to a filter.
  • As Hillary exclusively told People magazine that night in reference to Ireland’s baby, “we’re so excited, we’re just so excited, you’re going to make me cry!” I bet she cried as she realized that her live action remake of Beauty and the Beast (iykyk) was overshadowed by sweet Holland’s birth announcement.
For once, Alec is all of us. Jesus, lady, give it a rest.
  • So, what’s a step-abuela to do? How to acknowledge the birth but keep the focus on the ostrich feathers? Simple – feature a picture of Alec and Hillary all dressed up literally clinging to all the kids to force a family picture. Now, Alec doesn’t know his ass from his elbow when it comes to SM but Hillary knows – what most people would do is repost the original post. It’s already public and it keeps the focus on the person you’re celebrating. But Hillary celebrates others by saying “happy (event)” then making the accompanying picture about her.
That grip on the little baby thigh : (
  • Consequently, Ireland’s new baby got one post from Abuela Hillary that featured Alec, the kids, and her, and Alec posted one picture of him and baby Ireland with the caption “my first baby had her first baby.” Hillary hasn’t liked or commented on any of Ireland’s grid posts about Holland. To put this in perspective, in May Alec posted about Rust 8 times, The Beatles 5 times, and his excruciatingly boring podcast 4 times. Are they happy about the baby? I’m sure they are. Do they know how to show that in ways that don’t involve Alec and Hillary being the main characters? No.
  • Perhaps felling particularly edgy after that drive to the PEN America Literary Gala where Hillary pouted about her red-carpet thunder being stolen by the coincidental timing of the birth announcement and fussed over her feathers, Alec lost his shit in the most Alec way possible: berating a server trying to do her job and speaking to her in a wildly demeaning and condescending manner.
  • According to what the server told Page Six, she was trying to serve the head of the table where Alec was standing and chatting with another guest. The server said, “I’m sorry, sir, but we’re going to have servers walking through the tables here in a minute.” Alec: (very agitated) “So when is it a good time to talk to my friends?" Server: speechless. Alec: “do I have to explain it to you?” Server: “No.” Alec: “Well then, step aside.” Later her coworkers told her he was “calling her a peasant.”
  • He didn't deny the interaction, but he did deny calling the server a peasant. He is despicable for talking to anyone this way. The fact that the media picked up this story as opposed to fawning over Hillary’s dress or her pose with the inspirational placard was chef’s kiss gold.
I absolutely believe Alec knows about sociopathy.
How you say...comedy gold?
  • All in the same day, the Undynamic Duo was seen in wild, Alec bashed Martha Ross (the ordacity), Hillary celebrated Ilaria’s 8 months of life by posting a carousel of 6 grid pix, one of which featured the true stars of any Hillary Lynn production: her “lactating” breasts. Where’s that bottle of Gatorade from the elevator pic?
Santa Híláríá de la Leche Materna Falsa.
  • Then came the video that launched parodies, articles, and posts galore: Hillary’s Humpty Dance (no offense, Digital Underground). Just as she posted herself filtered and angled to showcase an anatomically improbable tiny waist and claimed it was about her pants, or posted a shot of her cleavage and claimed it was about her kid’s 8-month birthday, here she was writhing around in her Victoria’s Secret bra and tiny tank top to garner compliments but pretending she’s invested in giving wellness advice.
  • All this accomplished was getting people talking about her yet again as “angry Alec Baldwin’s cringey wife who faked an accent and a heritage and now is doing (insert her antics here).” The subsequent loss of followers was icing on Hillary’s (zero calorie zero flavor) cake.
The creepy eye contact, dear Lord.
  • Celeste Barber (“We call this workout The Horny Teenager”) and Anna Roisman (“This ejercicia will help your back!”) NAILED their impersonations by capturing what makes Hillary so absurd: she has no self-awareness and no sense of humor - a mix that makes most of what she posts repeatedly miss the mark.
  • Her lil’ combo of hip thrusts and side-to sides, modified pushups with bewbs overflowing, and some leg flailing inspired fabulous comments. One person on Celeste’s page noted: “It might seem strange but this is how they work out in Spain,” and one on Anna’s page quipped: “I’m now pregnant with a Baldwinito after watching this.”
  • This cringefest was Hillary asking people to praise her for being skinny and sexy (ahem). Body positivity is great, but it is gaslighting when she (or any influencer) claims “anyone can look like me if they hydrate and do these simple exercises a few minutes day.” Hillary has disordered eating, exercises for hours daily while women of color raise her kids, and gets high-end cosmetic procedures to plump, fill, tuck, suck, brighten, and tighten. The shameful part is not that she does this stuff, it’s that she lies about it – poorly.
22 comments = .000022% of her followers.
  • MichWho tried to show up for Hilz after the humpy yoga debacle by posting this terrible picture that u/Queefer_Sutherland captioned “Easter Island Moai doing Munchausen Mami dirty” and I thought I had died and gone to pepino heaven.
Mich, girl, that witchy ship has sailed.
I spy with my little eye...
I like the ring of \"outrageous embellishments.\"
  • For last post of the month, Hillary chose a picture of her and Alec in the hospital as he recovers from hip replacement surgery which she claimed was “a long time necessary.” If ever we needed Cher to smack someone and yell, “snap out of it!” it is now.
Losing the fake accent has been a long time necessary, too, Hilz.
  • In the end, Hillary’s eyebrow fucker-upper* summed it up perfectly by commenting “Glad and happy all went well. Send him a speedy recovery. P.S. Your Brow’s! Brow’s Game Strong.” Wonky apostrophes aside, that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? Hillary’s blowout, lash extensions, micro bladed brows, and plumped lips are the stars and Aleek is a bit player. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

2023.06.01 20:39 MicJarek Moving from SQL Server to MySQL, PostgreSQL, or some other open-source DB?

So I tried to post these question(s) on stackoverflow, but they said it's too opinionated, and suggested I post it here. So here I am, hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
And just to be clear, I'm NOT looking for an opinion about your favorite DB. Everyone has one that they're familiar with and love, and that's great. What I am looking for is experienced people in multiple DB's to chime in based on my application/DB needs that I outlined below. Specifically, if you previously used SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc. and are familiar with the strengths and limitations of each, you could probably make valid arguments why I would choose one open-source DB over another (PostgreSQL over MySQL).
Before stackoverflow hid my question, there were a couple of comments, with some good insight. One stated that "MySQL's implementation of stored procedures does not support packages, compiling, debugging, atomic deployment, a standard library of procedures, or many other things you are probably accustomed to" which is a valid point since I use stored procedures extensively and obviously need them to be in the open-source DB.
I also read that PostgreSQL supports the geography field type much better than MySQL, so that is a BIG consideration since there are several search screens in the app that use the Geo positioning to display lists based on the user's lat/long.
Because of the above info, I am currently leaning towards PostgreSQL... BUT I would still very much appreciate if anyone has any input on this before I commit to an open-source database and start converting all the code (aka mostly all the DB stored procedures). Here is what I originally posted on stackoverflow:
-------------------------------
This may be an open-ended/opinionated question, but I would appreciate any input from anyone who may have done this and can point me in the right direction.
I am currently developing an entertainment industry app (browser based for now) that is using MS SQL Server. Currently, the DB has only 35 tables (with minimal data), and 7 of those are the Microsoft Identity tables used for security. Initially it will be released on a single cloud-based server, but eventually the plan is to have it running as distributed SQL (perhaps one day even world-wide as it grows and it’s successful). Because the app is being ‘bootstrapped’, meaning no investors or their money, the overhead cost is a big consideration. The app will use ads as a revenue stream to hopefully pay for itself and the overhead.
The app is almost done so I have been trying to get my head around how to launch it and the costs involved. Obviously, I can’t get around the cloud processing/storage fees, but as much as I like working with MS SQL Server, I don’t want to add their serveuser licensing fees, etc. to that also. And that is why I’m looking for some advice/recommendations on which open-source DB to change to before going ‘live’. The two I read most about are MySQL and PostgreSQL, so I was hoping someone with experience with either (or another DB?) could shed some perspective why I would choose one over the other. And just to make it clear, NoSQL databases are NOT an option for now because of the complexity of the relational data structure.
A few more app/DB details: the app is being developed in ASP.NET Core (mostly Razor pages for now), Entity Framework, Bootstrap, and much of the data retrieval/updates is done via stored procedures utilizing #TempTables and CTE’s. Regarding field types, it’s your standard typical 64-bit BigInt (for primary/foreign Key ID’s), nvarchars, geography fields, etc. Also, all primary keys are designed to be unique across Distributed SQL databases. They are generated using an Epoch date, server hostid, and increment (not unlike Twitter’s Snowflake) which should work seamlessly across unlimited distributed databases.
So, my questions are:
  1. First, is the change to open-source worth it to keep the overhead cost down? Will it make that much of a difference from your experience? How much difference? Keep in mind that in time there may be multiple servers running multiple DB’s (primary read/write, secondary read/search, backup, etc.) so the licensing could be a big issue when there are (hopefully) hundreds/thousands of users hitting the databases daily.
  2. Which DB should I be looking into? MySQL, PostgreSQL, or something else? I just read that Meta has switched to MySQL Raft so even they are still using MySQL, but then I also read some compelling reasons to go with PostgreSQL, so I’m hoping someone with extensive experience with both could shed some perspective on this. One thing to consider is: the DB does perform searches using the ‘geography’ type field and from what I understand, PostgreSQL is much better at handling geolocation queries than MySQL, so that might be major plus for going with PostgreSQL.
  3. And to go along with the DB, any opinions on which cloud service to go with cost wise: AWS, Azure, Google, DigitalOcean, Oracle (if MySQL),...? The plan is to start with the cloud and if things go well, eventually consider bringing it inhouse to also cut down on the media storage (photos, videos, etc.). I read that DropBox reverted back to an inhouse model so that’s food-for-thought for the future… but for now, the starting point will be the cloud so any input about the best/cost friendly one would be great.
I know this is a lot of questions with minimal information provided, but I think from an architectural/cost perspective they are reasonable. I have experience mostly with MS SQL Server (and a bit of MySQL), but I’m confident that I can do the conversion once I settle on the ‘right’ database for this project.
If I need to be more specific, please ask. Otherwise, thank you for any insight/suggestions/recommendations you may have.
Cheers... :)
