The reason Trump and Paxton are successful is because their voters will overlook absolutely anything they do because they're white men who say the right words. Maybe we shouldn't copy that?

It's a bad look for people who call themselves antifascist to not only blindly excuse a Nazi tattoo with a lame excuse, but to ridicule anyone who'd consider that a red flag. It's a bad look for people who call themselves feminist to not only dismiss women who say he's a misogynist, but go straight to the 'lying bitch' defense.

I'm really getting sick and tired of public figures shoving their gender ideology and sexually down my throat. Congratulations, but you don't need to go around bragging in front of children about how you cum inside your wife. It's disgusting, get help.

I think the distinction your looking for isn't currency vs. barter, it's the real economy vs. Stock/Bond/Derivatives markets where money is accumulated by gambling without producing anything useful.

One of the biggest problems with modern reading is that nobody ever has an hour to kill.

As raw entertainment, reading can't compete with screens.

My tip is to ban your phone from the bathroom. Shitting is just about the only time you're sitting still with nothing obvious to occupy your mind. In this situation a shampoo label is interesting.

Your problem isn't censorship, your problem is relaying on services to listen to music. Be it Spotify or the Radio, you're listening to public music; you have to share. And preferences of others are going to override yours, be it business decisions, or just people who'd rather hear the censored version.

You're trying to ride the bus, and mad because it doesn't pick you up and drop you off at your front door.

I don't think it's coherent to suggest I'm overlooking what Trump is doing. People can hold views on multiple things.

$300 for a PC speaker? Madness.

As someone from the E coast, Olympic is like someone took a forest and turned it up to 11. I understand the technical term is temperate rain forest, but nothing prepares you for the shear density of life.

Groups of trees in a line are common, like in the 2nd pic. That's because they grew on a fallen log that has since rotted away. If you leave anything there for a week, shit will be growing out of that too.

I think it's neat that Newton is taught first. As in: gravity is a function of mass. Because that works in so many scenarios.

But then you learn that gravity bends light and that photons have no mass.

So.... Gravity isn't a force, it's more like going downhill... in the dimension of time.

Did the kid in your school have access to experimental kit?

The kid in my school had a special prototype that displayed the Nintendo on the windshield for the passenger of a car. I've been waiting 35 years for that product to hit the shelves.

Term limits would require a Constitutional amendment. That's a generational project.

The corruption in this court will consume it. For example, it's only a matter of time before a POTUS realizes that the immunity granted by the court could be used to legally assassinate judges who rule against you. Why add to the court when you can subtract?

All anyone cares about is which powerful man gets embarrassed. And I recon it's more likely that Maxwell will get out early than any predator gets jail.

There were HUNDREDS of victims; it went on for decades; and nobody gives a tiny shit. Have you heard anybody propose a law, a task force, even a blue ribbon commission to find out how this happened or make sure nobody does this again? Are their any more resources for victims because of this?

Our society accepts that men of wealth are entitled to abuse people. And sexual abuse is all in the game. Because at the end of the day our legal system is constructed to protect these people from the rabble, not hold them to account.

A pedophile is political designation to strip rights, dignity, and legitimacy from enemies. Children being harmed is beside the point.

I own Windows 11 and my computer and preferred OS (Fedora) support TPM and Secure boot. Is it worth the time to configure that stuff to run W11, or should I just continue to run W10 since I don't do anything but run a couple games?

I have a robust backup, so even a system wide Nuke is a day's worth of re-installing, worst case.

Honestly, since I boot W10 so rarely, it'll kinda be nice not to have to update it every time.
