I guess, no one NEEDS a video streaming platform.
Nobody NEEDS social media, but when a social media does something harmful, they need to be regulated.
That’d be well and good if they didn’t have a monopoly.
many of which wirh anti cheat, it’s not worth making the switch just yet.
I get that. Shit like that is the only reason I stick with a dual boot.
Also, I got a NAS recently with OpenMediaVault and I only have the time to tinker with one thing at a time :P
I also get that. My self hosted gaming server can be a bit of work sometimes.
Any advice on the switch though, or tools you use lmk!
Two things, I’d go with Linux Mint Debian Edition if I we’re you. I’ve found it to be the most compatible with my games, (like 9 out of 10 or so), and have had zero major issues/glitches with it. Plus it avoids the drauam surrounding ubuntu.
The second thing is to keep a separate “home” partition for your documents/pictures/game saves/etc. Mine is [Name]_STC, with the acronym being a nod to wh40k’s Standard Template Constructs. The idea being it isn’t named something generic like “home”, or worse using the home folder.
And anytime I need to back up shit, I just zip the whole partition and put it on a separate drive. If something happens, I copy my standard template construct.
Good. Now make it work for everyone’s tax situation.
Men like him don’t learn from things like that. The only way he would “learn” is if you specified he wrote a manifesto of regret, then committed suicide.
but Taiwan is an island and amphibious operations are very very hard to pull off.
That might hurt them more than anything. All china has to do is blockade Taiwan, obliterate any fishing vessels and ports it sees, and bomb farmland.
A castle can only be defended for as long as it has food stores.
Agreed. I have zero regret.
Everything is bigger in Texas

To be fair, brain worms would make anyone annoying.
When the nazis came to power, they forcibly took away the guns of their victims. They’d send a squad of SS to your house, surround it, and force you to give up the gun. If you didn’t, they’d kill you, if you did, they still got you in the end.
Some of their victims hid, refused to give up their arms, and fought back. They didn’t survive.
If guns were the answer to dealing with fascism and authoritarianism, germany never would have had the holocaust.
Implement ranked-choice voting at all levels
Ranked is better than our current system, but STAR and approval would be even better.
If we are doing election reform, we should go for the best.
To me it is ridiculous that companies can even own other companies. The only real purpose of doing so is to play shenanigans with regulations, obfuscate responsibility, and generally deceive.
And for the “corps are people” crowd, owning people is wrong.
How is there a false equivalence between Jews being locked out in the 40s and Jews being locked out today?
You could try reading the article:
“The attempted comparison falls flat since the color photo doesn’t show the April 2024 protests. It was taken during a separate pro-Palestinian protest at Columbia University in October 2023. There’s no evidence the protesters in the 2023 photo were blocking access to the college campus.”
“The photo was taken by The Associated Press in October 2023 during a separate pro-Palestinian demonstration at the school, days after the Hamas surprise attack that spurred the latest Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The photo’s caption doesn’t mention anything about the demonstrators blocking access to Columbia’s campus – for Jewish students or anyone else. The Columbia Journalism School also debunked the false claim on X on April 26, responding to a viral X post shared by singer Sean Feucht. “In this tweet, that has 22.8k views and was reposted on Instagram, Feucht claims that protestors blocked Jewish students from entering Columbia’s campus,” the post reads. “This is FALSE. The ‘2024’ photo was taken inside the campus gates in October 2023, at the latest.””
It’s clearly happened on multiple campuses and has been documented by more than a few pro Israel groups.
Prove it.
Protests are needed, these are crossing multiple lines in multiple locations and in many cases are not protests at all any longer.
This is needed. Thousands of people are dead, and that count is only increasing. Protests that don’t disturb the status quo or force us to look at the ugly actions going on are pointless.
There’s way more people being killed in a lot of places right now.
This is a whataboutism.
Have you considered what’s prompting this now?
The thousands of dead civilians, some of which having been found in mass graves, of which half are children, and half women is what is prompting this.
When the region was on the verge of widespread peace?
There hasn’t been peace in the region since before WW2.
Have you considered that this isn’t the organic Movement that you harken to the past as your examples?
I don’t give a shit how organic it is. Killing civilians is wrong.
I’m assuming you’ve seen the publication linking the funding for these protests together.
Why does that matter?
Were the students protesting against Vietnam all using tents provided by the Vietnamese? You’ve surely noticed that coincidence right?
Surely this is a joke?
by supporting the people who kill people
You have fundamentally lost the plot on what the students are saying.
The White western saviours have really established themselves as useful idiots here.
Yeah, nothing screams “white western saviours” like telling your university to stop funding a genocide.
Take a look at this:

I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be on the side of frat boys making monkey noises to mock black people.
Dunno if you’ve seen that photo going around but it’s pretty striking.
I’m assuming you’re talking about this one:
If so, it’s a bullshit false equivalence, and not even the right context/time/place.
We’ve got witness of it 30 years later when the students in Iran were on the streets calling for change (change that led to my family having to flee)
Seems like you’re misplacing your anger of the government’s actions on the students.
The students could be right today, if they are they sure have lined up with some of the worst people this world has to offer, with the regime in Iran, Hamas and Russia lining up to support.
A broken clock is right twice. And let’s be honest, Iran and Russia are only in it to see the US’s interests (Israel as a middle east oil base) fail. And no students are lining up to side with Hamas, they’re protesting the genocide.
The USSR, China, North Korea, and Cuba sided with the students when they protested the Vietnam war. Same shit, different year.
Turns out crazy is the flavour of the day.
Given that “stop killing people” is currently a controversial opinion nowadays, yeah.
Universities and cops that have attacked students like this have historically, pretty much always been on the wrong side of history. Fifty years from now, these protests will probably be seen the same light, students standing up for what is right, with governments and institutions standing up for the grotesque.
No, rules only apply to the out-group.
If Trump wins the election, the SCOTUS will agree and let Trump do whatever the fuck he wants. If he loses, then SCOTUS will not let the ruling go through. The SCOTUS will conveniently wait until after the election to make a ruling on this.
In my experience, the liberals lose games like that 9 times out of 10. Either they kill a liberal and doom themselves, or they kill a fascist and then lose the game anyways because the deck is stacked.
What this would actually look like in effect would be if Biden had Trump assassinated by their own rules, either Biden would get impeached by the republicans + a few breakoff dems, or it would start a precedent of political assassinations in the U.S., which would end with a lot of blood.
Either way, it will be a disaster. I don’t want to be a doomer, but I don’t see a way to salvage this shit show.
