If this is the bombshell that was supposed to torpedo Trump, I am not impressed.

The truth is that 10+ yo computer built with an eye to gaming is adequate and satisfactory for 85% of what you’d use a computer for. So long as you’ve done basic (and cheap) upgrades like SSD/M.2. Don’t get mad at me, but I picked up a RAM kit over the summer because it was so affordable. (DDR4)

But I’m not going to roll the hardware enthusiasts that act as early adopters for bleeding edge tech that I can afford used or surplus five years later. And they’re exactly the people getting railed the hardest by the component shortages. So it seems like a time for computer-people solidarity.

You shouldn’t sleep on WNCW. If you like country, classic rock, folk, jazz, and bluegrass there is nothing better.

Oh, and for those turned off by “country”, or “classic rock”, they’re not playing the crap on 'ya dad’s radio station.

Yea, I came here to say Nestle is caught poisoning children? Again?

Embrace it! If Jan 6 motherfuckers are patriots, then I’m insurrectionist.

2 more weeks and that’s vanilla beans.

You could have just said ignorance is bliss.

Trump just tried the same thing with Russia, China, and India and even he admits it was a failure. But who knows, it might be compelling to people worried about the sound of helicopters at 3 AM?

In so many ways ‘Donald Trump’ is a victory of liberalism. Arrogance and incompetence flourish in societies where the beneficiaries of great wealth and power are two or three generations removed from the people who were clever enough to steal it in the first place.

And America has been such a place of abundance for the highborn for so long. Their blatant criminality is tolerated and normal. Is it any wonder that people who’ve never faced meaningful consequences have trouble with making big decisions?

I think it’s interesting to contrast Germany’s fall into Fascism coming from humiliating loss and economic ruin, to America’s slide from a position of global dominance and unimaginable wealth. Maybe second time as farce?

We need more racists like you who are out and proud. I’m so tired of dealing with the crypto motherfuckers, blatant racism is kinda refreshing.

Violations were not brushed aside. Soldiers are criminally accountable when we break the law. That accountability is what separates professional soldiers from mercenaries.

Bullshit! Lt. William Calley was convicted of murdering 22 people at My Lai, and he served 3 years. Nobody else was even charged with the 200-500 people who were massacred (and raped).

That accountability is what separates professional soldiers from mercenaries.

Also not true. The Nisour Square massacre saw 4 Blackwater employees convicted of murder, manslaughter, and guns charges only to be pardoned by Trump.

Just this year, the Trump regime reinstated the Congressional Medal of Honor awards to the solders who perpetrated the massacre at Wounded Knee.

The United States has a terrible record of holding soldiers to account for war crimes.

The Barber’s hair is long because he’s not allowed to cut it himself.

I’m going to guess that passions, rather than reason, motivated this vandalism.

The files are a distraction from themselves.

Everybody is worried about which powerful people will be embarrassed. Nobody is asking: does this sort of thing still go on? Or How can we prevent billionaires from snatching teenagers off the streets?

Because our society only pretends to care about the victims of sexual abuse. We talk about how we hate rapists and pedophiles, but our actions betray the truth.

Windows is being re-written from the ground up to be ‘agentic’. This means that Copilot is not going to be a feature of Windows, Windows is going to be a feature of Copilot.

Oh, and Copilot is going to be writing the code too. Microslop brags that 30% of their code is AI.

When I read articles like this a Jimquisition episode starts playing in my head.

The “population cliff” is a made up boogeyman for capitalists. That’s because they’ve relied on population growth for market growth. What’s the harm in population stagnation or even decline?

And I don’t want to hear about young people supporting aging populations. That’s a man-made problem that has solutions. Just not the kind of solutions capitalists can abide. (and if you think about it, it’s a temporary issue anyway).

One of the biggest victories of capitalism during my lifetime is how consumerism has swallowed ethics. I’m not saying that buying stuff from shit-heel companies is OK, or that boycotts are useless. But the mentality of shopping as ethics reduces moral agency to consumer choice and spending habits. Its gross.

Has anyone else noticed this? We don’t shop anymore, we support businesses now. Maybe the reason Americans are reluctant to protest is because we already feel like an activist for spending an extra dollar on cage free eggs.

I’ve heard a variation on this where you count out 40 beans and discard the farty-one.
