The American war for independence is a pretty anemic "revolution". Think about the material conditions of the average American before and after. Now compare that to revolutionary France, Haiti, or Russia.

It's almost embarrassing to say your fighting for "freedom" when right next door, literal enslaved people were throwing Napoleon's army into the sea with machetes.

I got a lot of badges when I was a scout. Didn't have to use my penis for any of them.

That's pretty much how it already works. It's just that the pressure to make the "correct" choice is fucking crazy.

I have a small library of music CDs, because I liked music before there was an internet. I recently ripped them to .FLACC.

I don't understand why people drag on sugar-babies like they're the stupid ones in the situation.

I think he's absorbed the lesson from Iraq&Afghanistan that airstrikes are safe.

Safe, clean, and renewable. It's the energy source of the future.

Average life spans. People in ancient times didn't drop dead at forty. They regularly lived to be advanced ages we would consider normal. It's just that infant and young child deaths were so common it really drags down the average.

That's a really long article to say that the pig was high on duty and died as a result. Everybody knows that fentanyl exposure syndrome is BS but they still can't help but imply the fuck out of it.

When citizens OD and crash, they're treated like the deadly menace that they are. Pigs are protected by fairy tales and moonbeams.

I can not be created, only confirmed.

Watching Youtube videos. It's as good as college for anyone with a little savvy. I'll bet that Youtube employs more PHD philosophers than any three universities.

 

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.
