Don’t give me hope.

Yeah it’s not the most pleasant pill to swallow but most millionaires are working class or small business, even if they look at their paycheck-to-paycheck peers with contempt and vice versa.

Billionaires are in the stratosphere compared to everyone else’s wealth, and that plus their ability to outright buy governments is our problem.

The US government has stake in Intel. Don’t trust them anymore.

Sounds to me like it’s on purpose, like it’s meant to intimidate and co-opting the artistic rebellion to taunt and take away hope. Reveling in the cruelty is also a draw for the US gestapo.

Or they’re just stupid. Or both.

So good on MGMT taking it back and saying “fuck you” to these weenie keyboard snowflakes.

Never is.

They don’t like drag queens because the drag queens might teach their kids to be literate.

I admire your optimism, and sincerely hope you’re right.

I’m so tired of this evil clown show.

12ft got taken down sometime last year, iirc.

That would explain why adguard’s public DNS started blocking it (labeled vaguely as “legal request”).

Primarily administrative privileges, at least from a practical standpoint.

It can be done without declaring it a marriage legally, with wills, medical proxies, etc. if you prefer granular control.

I just want my partner to not go through the nightmare of probate court and legal headaches should something happen to me, or be able to see me in the hospital without pushback. If one piece of paper covers 90% of that then I’m reasonably willing to sign it. On the flip side of that, I hate weddings and would prefer to spend that money on a more material investment lol

Everyone is different though, and there should be alternative options that aren’t such a huge hassle, so I do agree with you.

The elaborate routines are corporate propaganda to encourage needless consumerism.

If you enjoy something fancier, by all means go ahead but don’t stress yourself over it.

That dog creeped me out as a kid. Microsoft did not do 3D well.

I love GIMP for what it’s done for the community but I can make a circle in Krita.

That’s fair. I forgot briefly that fediverse has that political side lol but meant more the technology of “broadcasting” and inter-site communications. Seems a better comparison than email at least.

So Usenet was the first fedi site? Reassuring that the concept predates the current paradigm and still has legs, however niche it is atm.

Originally? To play with image AI models when they first came out.

Then I got that taste of freedom and Windows felt icky. Haven’t touched that side of my dual boot for non-work purposes in years. Even for work it’s a last resort.

This seems to be a pattern. District judges make common sense rulings then the administration takes a tantrum all the way up to the nine who let them get away with actual murder.

You mean autistic people…are human? 🤯

Imagine thinking neurotypes are binary and not a gradient of human experiences. Imagine also thinking one swath of neurotypes is a disease and not also simply part of said human experience.

These are also the same jackasses who think only one sleep pattern is “correct” despite…well, history, but that’s a separate rant.

Their TVs suck too. The remotes barely respond and they’re bogged down with ad-riddled garbage to the point I had to set up a parental lock just so I wasn’t force-fed trashy, outdated reality TV at 300 decibels when I power the damn thing on. Or worse, when the power goes out and it decides to blast at 3 AM. Unfortunately I didn’t make the choice to buy this thing.

Their phones are also locked down proprietary horse arse. I don’t understand the people who repeatedly pick the brand, but oh well.

FLOTUS Incontinentia Buttocks

I know it’s a pipe dream but it’d be (darkly) hilarious if MTG pulled a reverse Fetterman.
