He knows. He knows it’s bullshit. He doesn’t care that it’s bullshit. It gives him and people like him more power, and that’s all he cares about.

I had intended the ‘Carry on’ as a sort of friendly valediction, but this was a fun bonus.
Well, that’s certainly a unique approach to dealing with a national crisis. Carry on.
And I suppose you’re the only one of those around, right? So why tear into people about the state of the US if, by your own admission, it’s probably a lost cause? There have to be better ways for you to kill time until the end.
Good lord, they absolutely would have gone with her.
Now who’s being defeatist?
I live in deep red country, and work in a deep red career field, a lot of today’s Trumpers have never forgiven Obama for being black, popular, and competent. They took it personally. Harris is going to mobilize the fuck out of them.
I think she’s the right pick, I think she can govern well, I’m voting for her 100%. But the Dems need to be prepared. This was a dammed if you do, dammed if you don’t situation for them. But replacing Biden isn’t even a fraction of the work they’re gonna have to do, and AOC is on point for speaking up about it.
Not that I don’t agree with you, but do you really think the elderly edgelord forum warrior shtick is the best play? Taking a point from your own posts, is it really a good idea to post content online that might alienate potential allies? Food for thought.
Seems like they adopted the world fucking, transformed it, and diversified it into new areas. World fucking used to be about war, finance, manufacturing, and pollution. Now it’s about war, finance, media, fashion, manufacturing, the internet, politics, tech, society, food supplies, religion, pollution, and making the rich feel better about themselves.
Most of those things were products of earlier times, when our economic system and industries were more regulated and had a larger number of competitive entities. “Innovation” now is just more cupholders in the RV to put your chicken fries in. All flash, no substance. Everything is an AI wearable tacked on to something else we’ve already had for years.
EV battery tech, there’s some decent work being done there. A few other niche cases like that. But the rest is one big fucking con game. It’s all a race to find out how much money you can gouge out of people before the system just breaks.
I feel that the majority of innovation occuring in modern capitalism is confined to two key areas:
Regulatory capture and market control.
New ways to mindfuck people into overpaying for goods and services.
Seconded.
I’ve got a pair of Skullcandy Mods. The sound quality is decent but not stellar, battery life is good, charge time is good and they feel pretty solidly made. Pretty good deal for $40 on Amazon.
I previously had some of their ANC overears that while not spectacular, were much better than I expected given the price point.
This. I just want to write something I’m somewhat satisfied with and have people appreciate it.
That’s pretty much it.
There are plenty of user friendly Linux distros out there and a bunch of them can serve as a daily driver for general computing. What’s more, the learning curve isn’t that steep and you can find tons of solid guides and tutorials out on the Internet.
But if Windows is working and you don’t care about the privacy issues, ads, and it’s general downward direction in user experience, there’s no motivation to switch.
Sadly, the whole “Linux is only for power users and nerds” misconception is going to stick around until Windows becomes all but unusable for most people.
I switched in 2021 and I thought the same then.
I figured it was a given. If Trump gets elected, climate change accelerates. Does anyone think any different?
The rest of us shouldn’t have our freedoms restricted because of irresponsible parenting. You’d think people who place such a premium on personal responsibility wouldn’t need the government to help them raise their kids.
Sure they do. Just don’t have sex. Then you won’t have kids and won’t have to worry about them seeing porn on the internet.
It’s simple, if you’re not responsible enough to keep your kid off PornHub, you’re not responsible enough to have sex. =P
“The person in front of me looks innocent…”
Most of them do.
In the documentaries there’s always a neighbor saying “He was the nicest guy, we never suspected he could do something like this.”
