  • Feel seen, friend, I've felt the same since Gore v Bush was given to the republicans by the Democrats and SCOTUS.

    But maybe I’m wrong, and like the old quote they’ll do the right thing at the last moment when they realize they have no more choices.

    You mean like the German people did?

  • but sure as shit I’m struggling to keep up

    You don't have to keep up with all of it. That's a sure road to being overwhelmed. Follow the topics most important to you from multiple sources in hopes of getting the largest view as possible.

    Spend time on new sites not based in the US, it helps to know the rest of the world sees what is going on for what it is.

    Make sure to keep at your hobbies and interests that aren't politically related so you get some downtime and recuperation.

  • Shut up. You're doing harm with this bullshit. Stop.

  • I'm open to finding a way to adapt the ideas and concepts from 1984 into a format that would be digestible to modern audiences without seeming as dated as it is prescient.

  • More akin to dusting the china cabinet with a hammer while ignoring the missing wall behind it.

  • The big flaw here is you placing any faith and trust that Elon et all are acting in good faith and truly have a desire to do right by the American people.

    Shutting down USAID was the richest man in the world deciding the poorest people in the world do not deserve food and medecine. There are people in a famine in Sudan that will starve as a direct consequence of Elon Musk's actions at the behest of Donald Trump.

    And you think that man might have an altruistic reason for wanting to access the entirety of the treasury department data.

    That is confoundingly naive.

    The attorney general for USAID was investigating Starlink in the Ukraine.

    Elon shut down USAID.

    Tesla Received Triple the Amount of OSHA Complaints Than the 10 Largest US Car Factories Combined

    OSHA is in their sites to dismantle next.

    USAID accounts for 1% of the US government's budget - how is eliminating that at all consequential to reigning in spending?

    OSHA accounts for 0.0000537322% of the federal budget at $362,800,000.

    The federal spending for 2024 was $6.752 trillion.

    The department of defense requested $842 billion for 2024. Want to guess if they got it?

    There are obvious places to look for excess goverment spending. Completely gutting agencies that barely amount to a rounding error in the budget is not going to accomplish anything.

    They are not acting in good faith. Take the blinders off. These are not good people trying to do the right thing for America.

    And just in case you missed this earlier: The richsst man in the world decided the poorest people in the world do not deserve food and medecine.

    Edit to add: the budget numbers were the best I could do researching from my cellphone but I am quite confident in the dispropotionate funding for the one department no one is discussing reigning in spending for.

  • Two birds with one stonecesna.

  • Sideways rectal pineapples for that chucklefuck.

  • "Jahwol!"

  • Just a few ideas of stuff you can learn that could come in handy during a societal collapse.

    Start learning about homesteading, soil science and sustainable farming techniques. Look up 1 acre farming plans.

    Have a look at open source ecology's global village construction set.

    Get into beekeeping.

    Learn how to make rope.

    Learn how to make a primitive kiln and forge.

    Get a guide to edible plants in your area.

  • I discovered them through this Murderfolk playlist on Spotify. That playlist introduced me to the murderfolk genre and a lot of bands.

  • That kinda describes Ween's oeuvre.

  • Bridge City Sinners are great! I was so disappointed to learn of them just after they'd come through my city on tour.

  • Mariachi el Bronx do covers of pop songs.

  • Star Wars Galaxies I was on a red wine kick at the time and had found Ecco Domani to be a good low priced red. I meeded a character name for SWG so I looked up "to seize" in Italian to make "seize tomorrow".

    It's actually "squeeze tomorrow" or "tighten tomorrow" and should have been "cogliere il domani" which is cooler. But c'est la vie, or questa è la vita.

  • The captain's right, it needs to be more accessible to get started using it. 30 years in tech and I'm also only vaguely understanding due to undefined process and procedure. Great project and I hope to see it move forward.

  • Iron Sky is ridiculous and good for a laugh if you need a break from the real Nazis.
