yeah this isn’t suspicious at all.

all by design. Notice how the No Kings protests happen on a Saturday? you know…when the majority of people have time off work. that’s the problem. When employment is tied to healthcare and the fact you can’t take time off from it to, like, take back your country combined with many states being at will employment states…yeah it’s all by design to prevent the mass populace from rebelling.

For these protests to REALLY be effective they need to jam up downtown cores at 8am on a weekday and last throughout the day. but they never will. and if they did the turn out would be minimal. My point is you CAN peacefully protest but when it’s on a weekend then no one cares. you’re not hindering anything.

it’s telling that she’s more pissed off over been mocked by a black guy than the death of her husband.

Congrats to you also! yeah it’s really the best thing I did in my life. It’s so much nicer now to wake up and not be hung over. I will admit though I did replace alcohol with coffee and I probably drink too much of it but I’d rather get a caffeine high and possible mid afternoon crash than being drunk all the time.

Drinking, A lot. Woke up on a park bench in the middle of winter with no jacket on. I could have died.

10 years sober today.

it’s a slow process for americans. you have to give them a bit more time. that’s why these protests are being held on saturdays and not weekdays. they can’t afford to protest on weekdays. add to the fact they have zero leadership. there’s no one rallying them. Bernie is too preoccupied with billionaires, aoc and crockett are too preoccupied with getting good sound bites/quotes in the media.

So it’s a slow process.

what console exclusives for the PS5? it has 7. that’s it. only 7 that you can ONLY play on the PS5. (used to be 8 but Death Stranding 2 just came out on PC). and of those 7 maybe ONE of which is a console seller, maybe, and that’s Astro Bot and while it’s a good game I say that as a massive stretch that it’s worth a $650 point of entry.

the ps5 doesn’t have any exclusives that drive sales. none.

I subscribe to TWiT cause I grew up on The Screen Savers and Call for Help and regardless of what people think of him I still like Leo Laporte, the guy is my childhood. Anywho I listen to all their podcasts and I’ll sometimes listen to their weekly Mac one and it is absolutely insane the cult like behavior with these mac fans on this show. Oh they’ll complain about the monitors and everything else but will still continue to defend it all by the end. There is one woman on the show that just rants and raves constantly about the dumb decisions Apple makes but openly admits that she’ll continue to buy their products.

At least on the Windows podcast the one dude will go ham on Microsoft weekly and I feel is pretty much just on the podcast to make fun of them. Then you have the Linux podcast where those guys just make fun of everything and it’s honestly entertaining. Plus they have one guy who is in his 80s on there who is an absolute gem.

Well of course it does. An educated populace directly hinders the government. Plus Republicans NEED to keep the populace dumb, angry, and poor. It’s the best way to control them and easily push agendas without any push back.

which is surprising as there are A LOT of GNOME fanboys. I personally don’t get it, I’ve tried several times to give it a shot but it just constantly annoys the piss out of me.

Canada: The Kids in the Hall.

But there are a few I really like. Orphan Black, Letterkenny, Shorzy, Littlest Hobo, SCTV, Fraggle Rock, Schitt’s Creek, Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High (not the newer ones with Drake), The Red Green Show, Reboot, Transformers: Beast Wars (or as it was known here just “Beasties”) Street Cents, This Hour has 22 Minutes, Mr. Dressup…really hard to just pick one.

there was an article recently of a woman who applied to ICE to see what the process was like. She wasn’t going to join, just seeing how much they vet someone. welp they don’t. she didn’t even go through with ANY of the verification process, she didn’t submit anything for background checks, wouldn’t confirm if she would proceed with the hiring process…and they still offered her a position. So essentially if you lack any kind of ethics or morals it’s easy money. no training, no qualifications, nothing. they just want bodies who are more than willing to be Nazi’s.

black and white comics of the 90s. stuff like Scud the Disposable Assassin, La Cosa Nostroid, Stray Bullets, Love and Rockets, Why I hate Saturn, Torso, From Hell, Black Hole, GEARS, Maus. Some of these would be considered NSFW. most not because of the gore/violence but subject matter and mature stories.

Indie comics of the 90s was pretty much the peak of this stuff. OR for something more familiar the original run of TMNT comics from the 80s.

it had quite a few gems. The WipEout games were some of the best in the series, the God of War games were very good. Battlefield II on it was great. Final Fantasy Tactics and Crisis Core. Jeanne D’Arc was one of the best tactics game ever. Ys Seven, Megaman Powered Up, Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep, Ape Escape, the Killzone game on it was very good, LocoRocco 1 and 2, Final Fantasy Dissida, Monster Hunter, Daxter, Special Agent Clank, and Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker.

it’s not a bot problem. Reddit NEEDS the bots in order to survive. the Problem is that for its advertisers it needs to verify that the ads being served are actually being seeing by humans. that’s it.

basically RetroDeck is a one and done type of deal. one package (flatpak) that has everything pre-configured and good to go as opposed to say RetroArch where you have to pick your cores (emulators) and what have you. on say a SteamDeck something like RetroDeck is naturally going to be easier to use and set up but when it comes to a Linux desktop it’s all really a non-factor. Like for example most distro repos have either a complete library of the cores for Retroarch or you can pick and choose which ones you want. like on Arch for example the package “libretro” will give you everything or on Nix/NixOS you can pick and choose which ones to install with Retroarch.

IF you like warhammer 40k or want to get into the lore (it’s god damn insanely deep and interesting) there are a few VERY good videos that are multiple hours long that pretty much come out on a weekly basis. https://www.youtube.com/@Luetin09 is my favourite. if I have nothing to do one a weekend afternoon i’ll just put his vids on while I do some dev work or play around with my pc configs. each video is easily 2+ hours. and it’s just lore.

I don’t even know how to play WH40k, I don’t own any of the minitures, but damn do I know all the lore because of his vids.

imho in a weird way cassettes were better/more fun. Like wanting to record a song you like so you’d sit in front of the tape deck for hours on end listening to the radio waiting for that ONE song to come on so you could record it. It would take you hours, maybe even days, to make that mixtape of songs you didn’t own.

Also when I was a kid I had one of those fisher price tape decks that had the microphone attached to it. I wanted to make a mix tape of all my favourite songs from my NES games or games that I would rent (like the Battletoads theme song, or the music from the Batman videogame) so I would pop the game in then hold the microphone up to the TV speaker and record the songs.

yup in the early to mid 10’s every company, startup, etc offshored to India and the drivel that came back was about on par with today’s AI/LLMs. just complete garbage that either needed heavy refactoring or just start over from scratch with competent devs. So seeing all this with AI today I can only think “I’ve seen this episode before”

honestly as much as you can tolerate it. But once you start gaining traction then get off it.
