  • Small things you can do:

    Document things. Download speeches and clips, save articles, pictures, record your own videos and photos. Keep your receipts, build a weather station, log the effects of this administration on yourself locally. Write a journal. Keep it all offline and be discreet about it. When they try to distance themselves from the inevitable fallout, you can share your own evidence, your own story, and throw it right back in their smug faces.

    Take upward flowing money out of the economy any way you can. Repair, reuse, rebuild, swap, share, create, grow, buy local, take on a roommate, do anything you can to avoid pumping cash into the orphan killing, billionare making, machine. Stop feeding Google/Amazon/Meta clicks and advertising dollars. Get a used laptop. Put Linux on it. Get VPN incorporated in a country that doesn't give a fuck about the US and pirate media. Better yet, make your own media and give it away. Starve the people who will profit off this administration and the chaos it'll create as much as you can.

    Practice opsec. Limit your online profile. Keep location services off. Don't talk about how you can't agree with Trump's policies because the trans kid next door is a good person. Don't tell people a trans kid lives next door to you. Get a dumb phone or use a privacy focused OS on your smart phone. You can learn how to install a custom ROM, I have faith in you. Help others do the same, make it harder for them to dox people and reduce the data they have to target propaganda and manipulative media with.

  • "The person in front of me looks innocent..."

    Most of them do.

    In the documentaries there's always a neighbor saying "He was the nicest guy, we never suspected he could do something like this."

  • He knows. He knows it's bullshit. He doesn't care that it's bullshit. It gives him and people like him more power, and that's all he cares about.

  • I had intended the 'Carry on' as a sort of friendly valediction, but this was a fun bonus.

  • Well, that's certainly a unique approach to dealing with a national crisis. Carry on.

  • And I suppose you're the only one of those around, right? So why tear into people about the state of the US if, by your own admission, it's probably a lost cause? There have to be better ways for you to kill time until the end.

  • Now who's being defeatist?

  • Not that I don't agree with you, but do you really think the elderly edgelord forum warrior shtick is the best play? Taking a point from your own posts, is it really a good idea to post content online that might alienate potential allies? Food for thought.

  • Seconded.

    I've got a pair of Skullcandy Mods. The sound quality is decent but not stellar, battery life is good, charge time is good and they feel pretty solidly made. Pretty good deal for $40 on Amazon.

    I previously had some of their ANC overears that while not spectacular, were much better than I expected given the price point.

  • This. I just want to write something I'm somewhat satisfied with and have people appreciate it.

  • I switched in 2021 and I thought the same then.
