100% why I don’t give advice.

Older people refuse to acknowledge that the world has changed and the younger generation is legitimately fucked by no fault of their own.

If only he showed half as much enthusiasm about purging the pedophiles he’s currently hiding, I might think better of him.

“False Statements”

So fucking tired of this euphemistic, bullshit, kid gloves language.

Maybe your America.

I actually do what I can to take care of my neighbors, and I don’t vote Democrat or Republican.

The RRHOF does kinda suck as an institution.

And now the press are calling us ‘device hoarders’ for taking good care of our shit and not wanting to upgrade to new devices too.

I’ll give them this much.

They did a brilliant job integrating Windows into every significant sphere of the globe. I had never even heard of LibreOffice until a couple of years ago when they rolled out Windows Recall and I got serious about learning and using Linux and open-source software more in order to protect my privacy.

It’s wild to me that they have made a product that basically worked so incredibly buggy in the span of a few short years. It’s actually a running joke at my work how basic things, that functioned for decades, no longer work as expected. We all just assume that Microsoft is passing along LLM-generated code into prod without any human verification, as a company may be wont to do when they’ve laid off tens of thousands of actual humans.

And now I haven’t touched Windows except where I have to, usually for work.

Better comply. The gods are not to be trifled with, especially when their pee is so difficult to clean up.

They don’t. That is why regulation is necessary.

Just like how expecting people to recycle was bad policy.

Though I wouldn’t be opposed to there being statutory regulations against parents whose kids get addicted to these applications and end up self-deleting or causing harm to others, not unlike how we’re seeing the state start to go after parents who fail to secure their guns. But just trusting parents to parent isn’t an option anymore. There’s simply too much evidence of the harm these applications cause.

So a case of beer then?

Fascinating read, and also exceedingly pathetic.

Imagine having the wealth and power that Dolan possesses and you use it to be a big, giant, limpdick troll instead of doing tangible good in the world.

Donald and his collaborators would be in a public gibbet to be spat upon (or worse) if there were any justice in the world.

But it’s important to remember that none of this is new, it’s just more convenient. Under Bush, we saw it with Halliburton and others. Under Obama the military insider trading likely continued too, because the perma-wars were so profitable for the Epstein Class. Under Donald and Biden, lawmakers were outed for using their classified briefings to make stock trades weeks ahead of public announcements about COVID. And anyone running a political campaign can profit by loaning their campaigns cash at 20% interest and paying themselves back.

It’s all one giant-ass grift. The only difference is that it’s easier now, and when Democrats take over in November, it will continue unabated even if we elect a Dem president in 2028.

Used to be if a balloon landed on your property without leave they’d have a bottle of champagne for you as a thank you for not shooting. :)

We’ll see what his next announcement is on Monday.

Dude always times them with the market for maximum grift, but I’m with you. I think he and Israel are stalling to regroup for another offensive.

Not just some.

There’s a reason why Donald’s candidates have lost nearly every election in 2025 and 2026, regardless of district, regardless of state. People are pissed on both teams, unsurprisingly. Donald ran on affordability and thought he had a mandate to institute rule by fiat and a homegrown Gestapo, and he’s letting people get even more impoverished while he and his family insider trade to benefit themselves while running an illegal war.

Consider this. The Republicans didn’t stop their gerrymandering push out of good will or good sense. They stopped because it was working against them, because they’ve fractured their 2024 coalition to such an extent that they can’t accurately project which districts will support them anymore.

Not at all.

I’m a professional painter and sketch artist who’s done everything from books, to commissioned paintings. to sketch sittings with pro athletes.

I’m nervous at the start of every project. The key is resisting the urge to burn them when they’re not immediately perfect after one session.

I, too, prefer my religious lectures to come from a pair of war criminals.

Yup, I know.

Also why it’s never going to change. Fascism will inevitably grow stronger.
