I have potato blood in my veins

That’s right. He bought $TRUMP so we get to bail out their shitty company when AI “boom” implodes on itself. Banana republic go brrrr

Such a waste.

Bigly agreed

It’s Aggies, so no value there to begin with.

Well, after protesters wrote mean notes in chalk on the sidewalk in front of his house earlier in ‘25, he did freak out and move his entire family into a military base. So, there’s that to contend with.

Ohhh my gaawwd, vote for donal trump!!

We started the forever war with Iraq because of claims they were making this stuff, unequivocally proven false. Now we’re just giving it away to one of the most sociopathic psychopaths on the planet. This won’t end well.

lol. This is partly why, as a tech person, I refuse to purchase anything for my home which requires a connection. Data mining sons of removed.

I would be gobsmacked if it turns out the DNC is not behind this smear campaign. They ratfuck primaries like nobody’s business, and in true Dem fashion, it’s so they can try to get a literal 80 year old into power instead. Fucking moron democrats never learn a damn thing.

edit: saw Platner address this on pod save. Don’t think he knew. I think he should just get the tat covered, make an apology statement, and move on.

No, but they should be.

It’s not that we don’t know - it’s that we are seemingly powerless to do anything about it. You can’t sue, they’re in legal compliance. You can’t take your money elsewhere, because ISPs often have monopolies in their areas of operation. You can’t count on your reps to regulate, because both parties work tirelessly to install pro-corporate establishment figures at all levels of government. You’re not even allowed to crowd source bribe money for said politicians, because they’ll claim you aren’t a legitimate lobby if you represent the people instead of a special interest.

For a country that loves to bleat on about rejecting tyranny, we certainly seem to welcome it with zero resistance in nearly all facets of life. Capitalism has completely failed us, and I think it’s probably humorous to those on the outside because most Americans refuse to admit it despite the glaringly obvious problems we’re now faced with.

I threw up a little reading this.

The uselessness of the sternly worded letters is the point.

Need to rotate and harvest them so they can perform their complimentary soil amendments naturally. Farmers can’t repeatedly grow the same crop or the soil will go bad.

So now they’re stuck with increasingly difficult choices. Pay to harvest and store them with no buyer, figure out what to do with the harvested beans later, thus paving the way for next year’s corn crop, is the likely choice. But now they’re going into debt because no bean income and corn seed isn’t free, plus they’ll need to empty those grain silos at some point before the corn harvest…and I don’t see this admin making any trade deals between now and then.

In other words, prepare to pay even more in taxes to bail the farm corpos out again so they can buy up the remaining small farms which will fail from this mess.

Linux gaming is in a great place right now, thanks to proton framework developed by valve. Anything on steam will pretty much just work with no tweaks at all necessary, and if you need proprietary launchers for your games (blizz, epic, etc.) then lutris handles that.

The only games which won’t work well without some kind of mods are those with the anti cheat root kits…apex namely. Thankfully those are few and far between but you could get unlucky depending on what games you’re maining.

Bazzite is a distro you should consider because it’s made specifically for gaming and comes with some nice optimizations already baked in, but Mint will work fine if you really want something that looks and feels like windows. Either way, try out Linux, you won’t regret!

Israel is the biggest perpetrator of terrorism in the world. Facts being true don’t require a vacation to make them so.

Same boat, I’ve actually had a few friends inquire after seeing bazzite in action. For me personally, 0 issues across 3 devices so far with it.

Yeah, rules for thee not for me. Bunch of dildos.

Sorry, best we can do is offer a .00001% stake and pretend like it’s your ticket to early retirement.

I credit Dems with making Mitt Romney’s healthcare plan worse, by removing the public option - the thing that would have actually improved the lives of poorer people. Instead, we simply shoveled some 30mil Americans right into the pockets of predatory insurance companies.

The only silver lining from that legislation was preventing them from denying care due to pre-existing conditions, and that point has been an all out battleground ever since.
