Why stop there? Shut it all down. Pull the plug.

It really sucks. We have a great dynamic and she has helped me so much over the last year, words can't express.

Lack reading comprehension?

I think it's great. My block-list is filling out nicely. Hope the trolls keep exposing themselves in such brazen careless fashion :)

What's the point?

I make more than most of my acquaintances in the city (my friends are poor), yet it's not enough to rent a house much less buy one. It's not enough to save for retirement. It's not even enough to move to a better apartment. The only reason I can think of owning a house is my inheritance - period.

My company touts their generous benefits which start on day one. But I'm about to lose access to my therapist because they want to push virtual and self-help resources instead. They publish pamphlets that exaggerate medical benefits, when you go to use them the insurance company says "Nah lol."

We have no union and in fact the state disincentivized formation of unions with "right to work" laws.

Work leaves me feeling exhausted and hopeless. My paycheck covers the bills, buys food, and keeps a derelict roof over my head. Apparently that makes me "lucky" and I should be grateful for it.

I'm taking note of all the prominent individuals and organizations which chose to remain on the fascist platform and thus implicitly support it.

Just another stable genius

I think it's hilarious that people are still using DOS in 2024!

Sim City 2k was the first time I used Windows 95. One of the teachers in my sixth grade class had it on their computer, and they let us take turns playing it. It seemed really amazing to those of us who grew up with more primitive computers, like Apple IIs, even Macs, various x86 clones running DOS, or occasionally Windows 3.1.

My first PC in 1998 even had Sim City 2k "Network Edition" pre-installed. Played the shit outta that game!

core belief among racist organizations

A bit outdated examples, try these:

CPAC, RNC, John Birch Society, Heritage Foundation

This is also behind the trans panic and concurrent anti-LGBTQ legislation in conservative states.

Sure, they'll package it with scripture and moralizing, but in the end? It's all about fear.

Oh no!

If only there was a non-Windows alternative.

OMG! Elon you should totally direct your minions of big brain programmers to create a new OS... XOS? About 6 months oughta be enough time to crank that out.

Last time I attended a church service, it was Catholic and just happened to be Easter Sunday. Small town with a facility for retired nuns. I was visiting family with my mom (a Catholic). I was not raised with religion, as my parents were at the time very disillusioned with the church.

But I decided that since I was there, I would try to absorb as much of the scene as possible. It was a very modern service, the manner of the priest, the topics discussed which were more social than theological.

One thing that struck me was how low energy and unenthusiastic everyone seemed. Like, it's Easter, this is supposed to be the happiest day of the year for Christians. Nobody seemed particularly happy. They had all been there and done that many times before. It was like going through the motions as an obligation, not an act of joy.

The church itself was magnificent in its own way, large and opulent, with large stained glass windows, statues. Beautiful, really. I quite enjoyed the setting, and nothing the priest said was offensive to me. I don't believe that anyone can rise from the dead, nor be the son of a god, but the messages about not giving into messages of hate, that was alright.

Even though I wasn't a member of the community, indeed I would be considered unworthy and ostracized, being in the presence of people all devoted to one idea did impart a sense of community. I wonder how many others there were unbelievers or doubters, simply hedging their bets in case it's all true.
