Artist, musical performer, and former derby skater from the Midwest.

I'm single, childless, and married to freedom and adventure.

ACAB, Anti-War, and I hate Democrats, Republicans, and billionaires.

  • Donald probably should have hired someone competent instead of someone who is just blindly loyal and apparently a bit of a dumbass.

  • Also a good response.

  • Yup, it's us.

    We're a bunch of fuckin' idiots.

  • It could happen. That's how Richard Nixon supported himself in the latter years of his life.

  • Can confirm. Am selfish.

  • Fair points all around. I find it important to give Dubya, Obama, and Biden credit for the fascist powers they seized and handed over to Donald, personally.

  • Yup, calling civilian kids 'terrorists' and 'enemy combatants' was an Obama innovation, because he didn't want to have to report the number of civilians on his kill list. Apparently the IDF was taking notes.

  • I am so, so glad I upgraded my devices last year.

  • 100%

  • The only plus I can think of to having the Hegseths, and the Patels, and the Noems of the world in this administration is that... at least in theory... once Donald is dead this nonsense has to follow them for another 30-40 years. They're all still fairly young people, and to think that maybe they'll be Palin-esque pariahs is a nice thought, I guess.

  • I'm an artist, but I lived with three engineers in college and once had to go to a night class and take notes for one of them because I lost a bet. That one note-taking session gave me a huge appreciation for what engineers do.

    Calling LLM querying bullshit "engineering" is monumentally stupid.

  • We have a production of the show every year here in Kansas City that I used to love to go see, and I was even a cast member for ten-plus years as a kid and a teenager.

    Five years ago tickets were $40. Now? The least expensive seats are $110.

    And that has happened with everything, including rent, food, utilities, and health care. I kinda just wish everyone would take this year off and buy nothing to make a statement about capitalism.

  • Yeah, I made a YT video about this.

    This year is the first year I am actively not participating in gift-giving. The two people I regularly exchange gifts with are in a tough spot. One just had a child. The other was out of a job for 14 months and is picking up the pieces. I used to give money to my parents, but they are "borrowing" my car and have been for a year and a half, so they're basically being given 50 dollars a day in free car rental.

    So why spend the money? I have decorations already that I just reuse, so if I spent money, it would be purely based on the pressures of culture and tradition, which is stupid.

    I'm still going to pop on my Christmas movies, cook a nice dinner, and enjoy the day... but I wish people weren't driving themselves further into debt based solely on tradition.

  • It sucks.

    And it was preventable, if we actually held legislators accountable for what they do. People, over the course of the last 40 years came to care about team color more than anything else.

  • They’re just not going to believe that the US can be trusted

    Yup. The damage to the American brand is permanent, and that will become painfully clear when the post-tariff trade deals take effect within the next year and a half and trade routes itself around the US rather than through it.

    The worst part is it won't affect Donald in any meaningful way, because his perception of reality is wedded to his algorithm and his wealth makes him untouchable.

  • All keys have been claimed, but, Origins is really really good. You'll probably be able to get it super cheap in the steam sale here in a week.

  • Nah, just giving away stuff I'm never going to use. Hopefully it's a fun time for you!

  • All yours. :)
