  • Trump said he’d make the courts partisan and he did exactly that. Now we have some of the most extreme right wing federal courts, and an extremist christofascist supreme court.

    Alabama declared that IVF embryos are children. A federal court is arguing that FDA overstepped in approval of mifeprostone, an abortifacient and uterotonic medication that is considered essential to first world medical care. Roe v. Wade overturned. Gay marriage on the docket. Interracial marriage in their sights.

    Do you really want to have Gilead at home?




  • Bruh - where’d anyone say there isn’t a genocide happening in Ukraine?

    Let me be clear: The question of Russia’s genocide of Ukrainians is no less uncertain than Israel’s genocide of Palestinians. If one is genocide, both are genocide.

    You’re acting like this is some big-brained, “checkmate atheists” point you’re making, but it completely falls apart when you consider who is and isn’t getting help.

    The US is arming Ukraine in it’s defense against genocide.

    The US is arming Israel in the perpetration of genocide.

    If the US was arming Russia instead of Ukraine, you could bet your ass that “the kids” would be “whining” about it just the same, and you’d still be calling it manufactured outrage.

    On the other hand - this all begs the question - would the US be so readily aiding Ukraine if the population weren’t white and culturally similar? What if the Palestinians were white and christian?











  • You seem to really know your shit. I’m realistic about my WAN speed needs (symmetrical 350 Mbps is more than sufficient) - but I’m pretty tired of my shitty Netgear setup. I’m not really sure what I need LAN wise, and the price tags of Ubiquiti/UniFi systems have me worried about buying more than I really need. I know pfsense/opnsense can be useful alternatives to start with in minimizing prices, but the steep learning curve has me a bit intimidated.

    Do you have a suggestion or recommendation on where to start? Is there something that’s functional at a sub ~$500 initial investment, but would be upgradeable/expandable and ultimately more reliable/dependable in the long run? Do I need to wait for this wifi7 gimmick?

    Thanks mate.
