  • YSK: A real American Civil war will NOT be like Battlefield or COD.

    Jump

  • Relax, Americans aren't used to seeing and responding to an actual oppressive regime nor have the capacity for supporting meaningful change. Plus the military structure is so well defined, there would be very little chance anyone would fragment or opt to join a "side" except for the active government. Most you would see is a bunch of useless resignations.

    In true American fashion, everything you fear will just happen really half assed. If there is even a hint of a civil war, it'll be snuffed out by your favorite 3 lettered agency long before it begins.

  • Okay so funny story, I needed to spin up a non enterprise windows VM with defender disabled for testing and got to experience the horror of local group policy not actually applying the disable setting because Microsoft disabled the functionality without telling anyone.

    And then I learned you can no longer disable defender on non domain joined systems without downloading a perma disable tool.

    Otherwise group policy looks so cool until you run Bloodhound and realize you've created a security nuke lmao.

    Thank God we have Linux

  • I cant find it now but there was this great photo of a dude dressed up in full SS attire surrounded by a ton of anime posters and figures lol.

    Also I'd suggest him a name from an IJN ship that met an untimely end. Plenty of options.

  • Israel sees spike in PTSD and suicide among troops as war persists

  • I remember this article was suspiciously titled similar to another one from a different outlet about a Gazan teenager who suffered loss of limbs and family, while sheltering outside a a school in a makeshift refuge camp.

    Almost as if CNN saw it and wanted to do a reverse take.

  • Gov. Tim Walz encourages Minnesotans to film ICE agents for future prosecutions

    Jump

  • I know this is FUBAR, but I think its funny that the 2nd amendment actually exists for this exact reason of State's having their own militias that they can use, but of course they're not going to actually use it.

    Walz is taking a zero confrontational approach, so he's defnitley at fault here, but state NGs haven't exactly been effective since before the 1940s.

    If anyone remembers the University of Alabama desegragation fiasco, JFK federalized Alabama's national guard and essentially crippled what power the state governor had as a bunch of soldiers showed up to escort students and shove him aside.

  • What's the dumbest/silliest reason you got in trouble for in school?

  • Infamously hated student dean at an otherwise pretty normal HS was known for sitting in her office and watching students on the security cameras so she could dole out punishment for incredibly minor stuff like being late to class, running in the halls, and covering your face (was seen as an attempt to thwart the cameras or security) etc.

    However, she was visibly in a more angry mood when on physical rotation like watching the Cafeteria during lunch, so people would avoid any interaction with her like the plague.

    Anyways, one day during a very cold winter lunch one of my friends entered into the cafeteria from outside with his hood up, hands in pockets, and visibly covered in snow from walking outside. Rest of our friend group was already sitting at our usual table as he's rolling up. Student dean has already clocked him and within maybe 10 seconds of entering the building, is asked to remove his hood.

    Buddy replies with "oh sorry, I was cold"

    We watched as the dean proceeded to tear into him for "talking back" and "insubordination" before he got hauled off to the main office and was given a weeks worth of after school detention.

    Funniest thing was we were warned about the atrocious Dean by the previous year's Valedictorian. No one liked her.

  • I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows

    Jump

  • Why are these mainstream media journalists going out of their way to make Linux work and look harder than it is?

    You don't need to open the terminal to install software or configure anything, that's literally the whole point of every big DE that ships well made GUI apps.

    He solved his problem by switching off of Ubuntu to Fedora, I think I almost shed a tear lmao

  • US will suspend immigrant visa processing from 75 countries over public assistance concerns

  • No it just has more to do with the fact that Africa got screwed over the most during the colonial era, and still haven't recovered, sometimes due to France pretending it's still the colonial era.

    There's lots of other nations on this list not in Africa and without oil. Afghanistan, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Laos, etc.

  • Windows registry is an absolute horror show even without the GUI lmao.

    At least on linux you will usually be greeted by a nice integrated GTK or Qt layout.

    Windows is 40% archaic stuff from the 90s, 40% tirefire PWA/electron apps, and 20% of normal design that keeps them barely ahead of OSX.

  • Nah I'm betting NATO does jack all and continues to be subservient to the USA.

    It's like watching a "how much can they get away with" show with no practical limit.

    A much easier way to start WW3 would be for a sizable country to copy the US, like China taking Taiwan.

    The reason is that the US itself has to be on board with an opponent that threatens to do the same thing, meaning they'll lose "territory".

  • Suspended Michigan autoworker who heckled Trump gets outpouring of donations

  • Oh wow he actually showed up to the plant during his presidency lol.

    They usually do it more during the campaign period to get votes, and the reason they don't get heckled more often is because Ford tries to curate the space as much as possible, especially if they're doing a rally to show that blue collar workers support whoever shows up, regardless of the UAW or if there were a massive protest outside.

    And they never ever try stepping out of the plant for anything because it sits smack dab in the middle of Dearborn lol.
