This is what people don’t get.
Republicans love being stepped on because those doing the stepping are rich and therefore smarter and therefore in a higher social bracket and therefore allowed to do whatever they want. They only care when they specifically are the ones in the crosshairs. No amount of empathy politics or fairness matter, because they “earned” their right to be an asshole (by cheating and exploiting labor, but they arent ready for that conversation)
Less than it needs to be and feeling less every day. Single income household (due to disability) and well below median in my area
Thats the other thing: a glaring issue or bug with linux is likely to be fixed within a few days.
Ive had issues with microsoft in 2012 that still exist today
Giving Futurama my first watch and all of the memes are conveniently in season 1, so far
My impression was that, much like AI, we made some cool stuff and then people realized the whole “Buy in now, we’ll figure out the rest later” model is a scam.
Like, i vaguely remember someone saying to freeze yourself now, and by the time we need to thaw you out we’ll have the technology.
Tbf people often talk about boomers, or MLK, or JFK, or LSD, or south america, or say the word “covert” or
You can give it a style of speech. It can mimic anything. I saw one where it just responded: ‘OHMIGOD SAAAAMMMEEE 🥵🥵🤧🤧’ which… Is bizarre, but if youre texting it and coaching it daily it will pick up your habits
Yeah but thats also part of the problem, in many ways
Youre getting downvoted but Blizzard really has gone into the shitter since… Uhh… Wrath of the Lich King? Maybe like 2 weeks into Overwatch?
Critiquing Windows in memes like this are what lead me to daily drive linux. Memes are used as literal, proven and admitted, propaganda machines because they do work.
I do agree they have their places and this may not be one of them, however; once you’re here, youre probably already convinced “Google bad”
Its literally a shortcut in most IDEs. Throwing AI at it is like using an upside down lawnmower instead of a garbage disposal
Renting out a single family home for longer than 3 months at a time without living in it should be an actual crime, or at least extremely (50-80%) tax heavy (the taxes then going towards house subsidies). Owning an unoccupied home should be taxed even worse. A corporation can count as a single person, so a property management company can own a single house OR as many apartment complexes as they want before tax punishment.
The modern version of Airbnb as a business model (people owning 5+ houses to rent for daily prices often in excess of hotel prices with none of the hotel benefits + “cleaning fees”) should have millionaires hanging from trees.
I foolishly believe the above two policies alone would cut home prices by at least half.
My weekly 2 person household necessities are something like $175 USD for home prepped meals, cleaning supplies, charging my car, and shower goods. If i cut back on stuff like conditioner and some vegetables or meats for processed stuff, i think i could save maybe $20 extra a week (until more price gouging/tarrifs/electricity increases due to data centers/whatever.)
The cheapest house on offer within 30 miles (48.2 km) of my job is $78,000 for 576 square feet (53.51215 square meters? Idk how europe measures floor area).
So if i struggle quite a bit, in 75 years, geriatric me and my geriatric wife can live in an extremely tiny house (assuming its still on offer and still costs 78,000, and if i invested that money the stock market didnt crash and and and and)
(Math: $78,000 / $20/week = 3,900 weeks. 3900/52 weeks in a year = 75 years. Im begging for a progressive world-policing power to invade us and force us to have free healthcare/tax the billionaires/slash the defense budget/tax those with multiple owned houses to subsidize housing)
Id argue the reactionary part of politics is almost entirely right wing, though.
Most of their policy hinges on owning the libs and subjugating those their church says they should disagree with.
Being reactionary against THAT is more defensive, really. Defensive politics are kind of just politics.
Lol. Lmao, even. The hero is needlessly aggressive to a person upholding the social contract. The clapping is coming from inside your head and under your desk.
I meant it negatively. If i saw a picture of Trump doing blue collar work, it would be performative (derogatory).
My point is that mamdani lives the performance, and therefore is, in reality, just a stand-up guy who is leading from the front lines.
A police officers time is something like 0.001% catching an actual criminal and 99.999% larping military action and harassing/threatening normal people. Sometimes it’s even misusing public funds to commit murder or stalk their ex. Theyre also much more likely to be domestically abusive.
“All cops are bastards” because the system is broken, allowing most cops to be bastards, and therefore participating in the system (even being a “good cop”) makes you, a bastard.
Am i calling the police if someone breaks into my house? Yes, after ive done all the work of removing the threat so i have a legal standpoint to file insurance claims or whatever. Thats the problem with the system. I cant trust a cop to not consider me to be the real threat or shoot me by accident.
There is no situation made safer by having a racist coward with a license to kill involved.
Deleting a torrent is probably the most heartbreaking thing i can imagine. My most prized possession is a ratio 1.00 torrent from 2014 that was 0.00 until 2021.
Rechecking, it is now at 2.00 which makes me unreasonably happy
Edit for more happiness: A copy of Monkey Shines (1988) that took me about 14 months to download is now at a 2913 ratio (since February)
