Too many perpetrators go unpunished, unfortunately one side of the equation has a much larger multiplier than the other,

You think this is politicking??

More ai slop from the only mouth sloppier than ai

Fuck that if they just want the bay area I’m in.

Read and agreed, fuck those snowflakes.

Sounds like a good way to lose a lot of babies searching for that perfect bath water.

“I’m a billionaire and I’m on your side, we should be divided by race not by means, really guys I’m a good billionaire”

Pisses me off that people of conservative values eat that shit up with a smile

Everything is easy until it isn’t.

I built my family’s, and my extended families, computers until the early 2010s, I’ll never do it again. Building the computer was fun and easy, being on the hook for tech support is time draining and soul crushing.

“Sorry Grandma, that cheapest possible 5400 rpm spinning drive is ten years old, you never backed it up, I’m really not the one to ask if you can get the pictures back. Okay we will try getting it to work as an external drive. Okay here we go, show me the folder you keep your pictures in. No this isn’t your desktop, (sign) we don’t need your hard drive to access your cable company provided email, yes the lemonade is wonderful (it’s bitter). Yes Aunt Martha’s cat is adorable.”

Children think about your future weekends. It’s great being a hero, but with great heroics comes endless responsibilities. There’s ways less entertaining than sex to lose all your free time to helpless family incoherent babbling.

Starseige tribes? Trackmania?

Man, my other in law just dislocated her replacement hip 2 weeks so, imma have to sue the ambulance company for going so nuclear on her, I heard she got two doses of the stuff on the ride to the hospital…

Wish I had the exact number (my brain likes to count everything), but I’ve done like 100 flip turns at the pool this year. Back in high school I’d do over 100 a day. I’ve been telling myself for a decade “this is the year I’ll do flip turns every lap by x-date”, of course I set off this year with the same lie. And of course I’m not doing them on every lap, but at one point I did my first in over 20 years, and then I did a couple in a row, and then I realized how much less time I have to focus on such a trivial thing, but it was the act of exercising itself that I was benefiting from, not perfectly recreating who I was half a lifetime ago.

I’ve kept going to the pool this year, and I’ve improved myself by doing that, I’m not going to be as fast or skilled or fluid as I used to be, I’m probably never going to flip turn every turn again, but I’m not going to get discouraged by not meeting my own goals that I’d set while looking in a rose tinted mirror.

Could also phrase it as “swam over 100 km (really a bit impressive amount of distance, 1.5-2.5 km per day one of two days a week) listening to the same 4"the dollop”, “god awful movies” “citation needed” and “no such thing as a fish” episodes on repeat (because I kept forgetting to bring my swim headphones and their transfer cable to the same place at the same time)

What wouldn’t be?

Something as simple as flipping on a device with a light switch would seen like witchcraft.

Want to know what time it is in the dark of the morning? reliable time keeping might be possible in a house, but certainly not in a bedroom, and certainly not millisecond-accurate or observable in the dark.

I think the only thing they wouldn’t be impressed with is alcohol consumption, but even then we have a variety, production scale and safety level they couldn’t fathom.

And the capitalist overlords will readily trot out these points and claim we live like nobility from the 1600s while sapping us of our every free moment and waking thought. Forgive my turning this political

I’m crying, and I’m not ashamed of it.

I have a para-social relationship with an Internet cartoonist and his life partner, that part I’m kinda ashamed of, but the tears are genuine happiness, and have I really been following him for over 15 years? There’s some sadness in those tears, but they’re covered by the happy ones

I applaud the stubbornness, I hope this was a long term thing and not an “oh I just found out I’m allergic and now I’m dead” the latter would be tragic, the former commendable (no not that, still tragic I suppose) in an incredibly stupid way.

Didn’t they hear, maga is make Argentina great again…

I stopped building my own PCs over a decade ago because I was barely getting the parts at the same rate they would’ve come in a pre-built, ram was always hard to get, good deals “sold out” so quickly, and if a part goes bad it’s easier to take it to a warranty repair than it is for me to fight with the vendors myself.

My main machines recently have been low power laptops, my steam deck, and my phone, using GeForce now has allowed me to play most of my games on shit hardware, and my 10 year old games run just fine (mostly) on my 5 year old laptop.

Add another year.

Any educated guesses, or layman guesses, about the price?

My layman guess is 600-800, the low price being same price as the top end steam deck on release

The VR headset is going to be standalone??

That’s pretty nuts right?

The Trump 2 week chicken taco timeline.

He started with “solving crime in Chicago in 1 day”

Then they had a Medicare plan just a week away, but he learned that that was too close for the right wing spin machine.
