Still, almost half are OK and happy about this 😮‍💨

You’re a cunt

All 500,000? They have a lot of space, but not that much.

Fuck that! If they are going to pull this shit then make THEM have to pay to transport you.

This is what around half of the voting public wants. I’m going to be doing what I can to try to fight against this (for as long as I remain anyway), but the rest of the world needs to plan as if the U.S. is an enemy state and an active threat. We should be given no benefit of the doubt. No trust. Assume the worst and then try and think about how it could be even worse and go with that.

Hell yeah. Halo Custom Edition will run on a potato. We played it in highschool off of flash drives on Pentium 4HT desktops with integrated graphics.

You joke, but I have absolutely created an ad-hoc wireless network and gamed with people I’m traveling with on a flight before.

I’d rather bet on the bear if it could vote.

There was similar energy in the mid terms after RvW was overturned, but it seemed to have dried up by the time of the election. I’m always hopeful, but it’s not a bet I would take.

We didn’t deserve her, but I am honored and grateful to have had her working for my interests. What she was or wasn’t able to accomplish wasn’t for lack of trying.

I’m in the US, I voted against Trump, I’m likely going to suffer if he is able to accomplish a smidgen of what he has talked about, and I think we got what we deserved and the sentiment from your OP is valid. I know a lot of innocent people are going to suffer, but this is a country of very selfish people. Even some of the most liberal people I have met in this country still have a very selfish mindset and reason for the liberal bent. As soon as they attain a position where they have an advantage they basically pull up the ladder. I’m personally tired of it.

People are going to die, ecosystems are going to burn, countries may very well fall. My only hope is that things only get bad enough that the masses learn an important lesson that at least lasts for their generation and that recovery is possible in that time frame.

It’s not that I don’t care. It’s not even that I don’t have the fight left in me. I just don’t see any kind of path to a better place without substantial harm occurring first. I will not be happy to be right. I want to be wrong.

All brought to by corporate wage theftᵀᴹ!

I don’t know how it could possibly be implemented, but I wish there was some kind of application or token that ran on my devices that would track how much I visited or used various pieces of FOSS software and services and then at the end of every month would pay each one from a predefined amount of money I set for how much I think I can afford for all of it. Maybe before actually sending the payments it generates a report stating the breakdown and allowing me to tweak the percentages.

Likely a privacy nightmare even if entirely locally running, but would be sweet.

Schrödinger’s word. Both new and old, lol

Interesting. Thanks.

Weird completely unrelated question. Do you have any idea why you write “Anyway” as “Anyways”?

It’s not just you, it’s a lot of people, but unlike most grammar/word modifications it doesn’t really make sense to me. Most of the time the modification shortens the word in some way rather than lengthening it. I could be wrong, but I don’t remember people writing or saying “anyway” with an added “s” in anyway but ironically 10-15 years ago, and I’m curious where it may be coming from.

That’s highly debatable. Maybe not for the specific reason being discussed, but Valve, and by extension Gabe, IS complicit in stuff like CS:GO gambling which preys on the underaged and and vulnerable.

Unless you live in a place that legally requires all casks to be placed into a cement vault when they are buried. I guess technically the body does still decompose, but volume consumed by the entire endeavor doesn’t really change.

Things would have likely gone a lot better if the Ds would have had an actual primary. It’s so frustrating.

My completely unqualified answer would be a combination of two things.

The first is that it’s often a lot easier to “say no” and be destructive/restrictive than it is to be constructive, thoughtful, intentional, and inclusive. The second is that the system of checks are out of balance and skewed towards Republicans even if the demographics of the US population as a whole don’t reflect that.

The second is that Republicans control more of government at a state and local level in addition to having a majority in the highest branch of the judiciary. Therefore they not only have the ability to pump out more laws, they also have a higher probability of one of those bat shit laws being upheld.
