  • Trump Gives Chilling Answer About Whether He’ll Accept Election Results

    Jump

  • This country has very limited impeachment and recall mechanisms. It practically hasn't evolved past its 18th century framing and it seems the GOP has finally found enough holes in the government to forego any semblance of democracy. Legislation can be stopped dead in its tracks with just a handful of people. If Trump is to somehow be stopped this time, anyone else can just keep tearing at the fabric of this government until it fails completely. The only solution that even makes sense is to rewrite the Constitution to better deal with more modern and sophisticated threats but that seems about as popular as the word "socialism".

  • The US government is trying to make coal seem cute. It isn't. | Trump complained that coal needed better PR. Then “Coalie” showed up.

  • There's an easy solution. Create a transporter clone and split that one back before he realizes what happened. Everyone wins (except the cloned Tuvix).

  • Sponsor Block is one of the essential YouTube plugins. Thanks to that I don't know half of these companies.

  • Oh it's worse than that. The rainy season just ended and for a long while I could hear water sloshing around in the undercarriage by braking too hard. It's not something than can be easily fixed with some dessicant at this point. I sprayed the shit out of the cabin with room deodorant and left the windows open for a while. It helps a little but it's like coating shit with sugar.

  • My '10 Versa's having the same humidity problems from so many rear end collisions. The cabin smells so moldy and nothing seems to work. It's a shame really because that thing can drive for another 100k miles easily.

  • Raspberry Pi prices are rising again by up to $60

    Jump

  • There's already a price jump of $20 USD between the RPi 4B 1GB ($35) and 2GB ($55) versions in Micro Center. It's hard to do much with a GUI with that little memory nowadays.

  • The fuck did I do

  • I think it's having the opposite effect. The trickling out of information is good to keep the public engaged with the Epstein documents for a long time. Will it ultimately get us any sort of justice? Not with this fucking joke of a federal administration, but it does shine a consistent spotlight on the evils all these billionaires are doing. Compared to the Panama Papers where everything came out at once, the outrage died down pretty quickly once the next news cycle revved up. This is a smoldering fire that keeps being fed the longer the little bombshells periodically come out.

  • Obviously Britain did the most

    Jump

  • Thanks for bringing up Lviv. Simply put, it was under Polish control since 1272 when it went to King Casimir III during a war of succession only to lose it to the Soviets in 1939. I completely sympathize with Ukrainians losing their land and sovereignty but I think they should respect that of their neighbors too, don't you think?

    Regardless of other countries refusing to work with the Soviets in the defense against Nazis, the alternative shouldn't be divvying up Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Bessarabia, and Lithuania among themselves via military force in a German-Soviet Boundary Friendship Treaty.

  • Why can't consumers choose to not be exposed to AI? Why does every fucking company out there insist it's what everyone wants? The AI bubble can't pop soon enough.

  • Has anyone tried out SteamOS?

    Jump

  • Strong disagree. I tried so hard to make Fedora and Mint work but it just wouldn't play nice with my RTX 3080. Could it have worked with enough tinkering? Probably, but it took even less time to simply get CachyOS to work for most things out of the box.

  • Has anyone tried out SteamOS?

    Jump

  • I'm partial to CachyOS due to its mutable nature. Sure it gives you more tools to hang yourself with but it also means the most freedom for what you want out of your OS experience.

  • Of course the USSR contributed the most once its uneasy agreement with the Nazis broke down.

  • Why did America forget they were all immigrants saying screw you to a douche "king"? Then mount a gestapo after we fought a WW to stop another douche in charge?

  • This all started since before the inception of the US. Slavery was an easy source of labor for the colonies and was used as a major economic engine in plantations everywhere. Since pretty much all slaves were black and owned by white wealthy men, the theory of white supremacy began to be forged. White supremacy was used to justify owning other non-white human beings and treating all non-whites like shit was seen as a moral and just thing to do. White supremacy had the side effect of convincing the poorest of white men that even if they were in the bottom rung of society, at least they were better off than being black.

    The idea festered throughout the time of the colonies and well after the US gained independence. Since the North was beginning to industrialize, there was a greater need for free people who were capable of working factory floors while the South remained staunchly agricultural with its slave field hands. While the country was still awfully racist, one could see things were gradually shifting for more racial equality in the North, where slavery was being abolished. This all came to a head with the Civil War where the South fought tooth and nail to keep its racist system going.

    Soon after the war though, the Union didn't bother to go far enough with reconstruction of the South and left a lot of the social norms and attitudes of white supremacy alone. Think tanks realizing the dividing power of white supremacy then slowly began to legitimize it in the eyes of conservatives everywhere in the country. With the South a firm stronghold of such beliefs, the Republican party had a way to slowly grow racial resentment into policy. Means checking welfare recipients, banning guns when minorities tried to protect themselves in California like with the Black Panthers, granting qualified immunity to cops, invading non-white countries for their natural resources, and more conditioned conservatives into thinking racism in all but name was acceptable.

    Enter Donald Trump. The man starts spewing hate from day one. Mexicans are rapists and criminals, Puerto Ricans are trash people, African immigrants come from "shithole countries", questioned the citizenship of Obama, and even refuses to condemn out and open acts of white supremacy. All this obviously evil shit no longer even registers with conservatives. The most appalling thing of all this is that even non-white and LGBTQ conservatives embraced his messages or disregarded any attacks on who they are as not applicable to them, because surely they're one of "the good ones".

    Now finally here we are, being attacked by an enemy within. ICE is rounding up non-white people regardless of citizenship and even executing citizens in the streets. Cubans, Venezuelans, and Vietnamese immigrants, supporters of Republicans for their anti communist propaganda are being ruthlessly targeted by the very people who promised to hurt them but voted for them regardless. An alarming amount of Trump's supporters are still happy with what's going on and want more of it. I don't see how we'll get out of this situation, especially if elections somehow get canceled by our burgeoning dictator.
