Libs hate people like Hasan and Chapo cause they criticize Dems and Republicans while espousing leftist policies. They don’t want to hear the actual solutions to problems because it conflicts with their worldview, and the donors don’t like that.

This is how we end up in software my friend.

All the senior HW engineers I’ve interacted with almost cried when I told them I’d read the data sheets and schematics before asking them about some register values that needed to be set on boot.

Love those guys.

This is true. I’ve been replaced several times with a Thevenin Equivalent.

Your brain is dopamine deprived, video games are designed to get our dumb monkey brains to squeeze out all the happy juice. Adderall floods your brain with dopamine so the video games just don’t hit like they used to.

ICC is Hamas. Obviously.

I’m glad to hear this, I keep looking at it. I’m a little worried about the hardware requirements for it though. I keep putting off getting hardware for a dedicated jellyfin server (it’s on my wife’s gaming PC right now and it bugs the heck out of her)

To expand on the 3-2-1 rule for the uninitiated:

3 total copies

2 onsite, using dissimilar media

1 offsite, for disaster recovery

I swear somebody said something about the “language of the unheard.”

“IKEA furniture purchases are the language of the unheard”?

“Politely worded letters are the language of the unheard”?

“Petitions are the language of the unheard”?

Ah, it’ll come to me.

"Supreme Court orders toothpaste returned to tube, Denies accusations of illegitimacy ‘nuh uh, you are the illegitimate one’ "

I have both tshirts, my trustworthiness also happens to fluctuate wildly based on my apparel.

“Though it’s impossible to say what the Supreme Court may ultimately decide, history and precedent isn’t on Trump’s side.”

“Hold my beer squee”

“Yeah girl, my bathroom lights come on automatically when you walk in. I’ve even set them to 30% brightness… After bedtime.”

If only my wife truly appreciated me lol

Disregarding your physical needs in pursuit of dopamine for 20+ hours is a symptom.

TFW you read the article, read the comments, then reread the article assuming you must have missed something.

You didn’t.

They know very well what they’re doing.

The water wars started years ago and if you’re not Nestle you’re already losing.

You got me bro.

I’m a secret Trump shill encouraging local mutual aid and how the Democrats could/should have won.

Hey, if you get your way me and everybody like me won’t be a problem anymore, grats on the dub.

Someone who hasn’t lived in a red state as a trans person or with a trans loved one.

Lol love the smoke. I voted for Harris, even encouraged my irl friends and family to. I just think that tacking to the right is insane.

Cheney’s the one I happened to hear the most about and they’re all shitbirds, but go off about the misogyny.

I’m the parent of a trans kid, I’m at a real risk of being chased out of the fucking country right now or maybe just thrown in jail, based on the chitchat around the watercooler now by both Dems and Rs. I’ve already been chased out of one home by bigots empowered by these pieces of shit.

I absolutely didn’t want Trump to win. His win emboldens right wing terrorists across the country.

My criticisms are genuine and valid. I’m describing to you the things that put people off with less to lose than people like me and the people I love. The Democratic party deserves to burn for this, but instead they’ll all be #resistance and send out more fundraising texts while the rest of us suffer. The lesson they’ll most likely take from this is the one people like you seem to be taking “we can’t run a woman because misogyny and we need to start burning leftists because we’re not right wing enough.”

I’m definitely not saying you should blame yourself for not phone banking or door knocking enough or something.

The system that we live in is just perfect for making us feel like this. And the people in charge are not incentivized to change it for us.

The only way we fix it is by trying to make things better locally, from the bottom up.

You’re not wrong about having the physical and temporal capacity to inform yourself regardless, but you’ve also got to have the mental and emotional capacity as well.

I’m sure you’re aware of how exhausting it is to live here, even just having nominal exposure to all the campaign ads and the outrage bait “news.” That’s before all the regular stress of living here with a family, all of your material conditions. Is my car gonna break down? If it does will I get fired? How can I afford my kids soccer cleats? Will the babysitter cancel on me for my extra shift?

If the only exposure you got for the election that you paid attention to because it was “entertainment” was a “funny” Joe Rogan clip your buddy sent you of the Trump interview it’d be real easy to be like “well, we made it through the first one, and at least he acknowledges that things are more expensive…”

Obviously if you’re tuned in, you know that’s a bullshit front. But if you don’t have the capacity to be tuned in because fucking everything is designed to stress you out and extract what little money you have… Well, here we are.
