plus with video you can actaully see the thing and can get a good look at how it works, etc

darkevilmac,

rtings is also great for monitors and TVs. Tons of details in their write ups and it's all standardized.

Is there a buy it for life community here on Lemmy/Kbin yet? If there’s something like that, maybe asking questions here would generate some okay responses. It won’t be as immediate, but it would also help grow the amount of useful info we have in the fediverse.

YouTube is great, but I prefer reading the review so I can skim more easily.

A lot of the time they're niche specific, I would have found out about a lot of smaller sites from reddit and then just switched to searching them directly once I had a better understanding.

e.g. every second post in retro games subs was always "how much is this worth" and the answer is use pricecharting.com, analog camera subs or analog repair invariably reference butkus, there's heaps of small archives, wikis and old community forums out there for anything you can imagine.

If there's specific niches you're interested in maybe ask in those forums here, they might be able to point you somewhere.

scamper, in Aside from Trump or Biden, Who do you wanna see as the President of the United States of America?

Steve Schmidt. He has a long history as a conservative strategist which is a huge red flag for me, but I think it would actually make him more palatable to right-wingers. I watch his show 'The Warning' and he makes a lot of sense with his positions. He is extremely clear in his criticisms of Trump, but he also doesn't focus on culture war nonsense. I'm willing to compromise as long as the person can think straight and face reality, which is seemingly an extremely high bar now.

Jon Stewart.

TheDoctorOfWar,

Couldn't agree more with that one.

BettyWhiteInHD,
@BettyWhiteInHD@kbin.social avatar

I was actually thinking about Jon Stewart earlier today. I'd probably vote for him: he's an intelligent, empathetic and charismatic guy, doesn't want to be in power and has done more good for Americans than a huge chunk of professional politicians in this country of ours.

Jon Stewart seems like a stand up guy.

0xtero, in Aside from Trump or Biden, Who do you wanna see as the President of the United States of America?
@0xtero@kbin.social avatar

Would be nice to see someone:

  1. Who is not part of, or connected to the U.S political ruling family elites
  2. Who has actual political program with solutions that extend beyond debate soundbites
  3. Who is not a celebrity, TV/Movie star
  4. Who is not older than 60.
