Thank you, comrade

🛠️ (my instance doesn’t have a hammer and sickle so this will do)

I’m confused that polling seems to be neck and neck when the liberal candidate won by 11 percentage points last time around, her opponent sucked but an 11-point swing is wild here.

I got hit on a couple times in Starcraft 2 of all games just because I had a feminine-sounding username. I literally got “damn girl, look at that MMR” once and it’s so funny.

Trump claimed “they’re eating the cats, they’re eating the dogs” live on national TV and it didn’t make a difference, he could run an ad about Democrats being void monsters from beyond the abyss and the average person would go with it.

Everyone who can get pregnant has lost the ability to have safe care if they’re in a state with an abortion ban. Someone close to me was sentenced to death by the Supreme Court for the crime of having an ectopic pregnancy and only survived because she saved herself when doctors wouldn’t out of fear of being retaliated against.

But her last name is White so it’s a real dilemma for them.

That’s useful AI that doesn’t take billions of dollars to train, though. (it’s also a great idea and I’d be down for it)

I feel similarly. Javascript was made to add some functionality to documents and now we’re basically running Doom in a word professor. I don’t know what a better system would look like, but I’d draw a line between document-type pages and pages that you want to do more on.

Midwest US reporting in!

I got into White Zombie last year and it’s nice because it’s a lot like 90s Pantera but without the racism.

Claiming that Israel and Netanyahu’s government speaks for all Jewish people is exactly what Zionists do, too. Jewish people have been co-leaders of every action for Palestine and against genocide that I’ve been part of.

The US has enough money for both universal healthcare and our obscene military budget, we just choose to only have one.

More than that, the numbers I keep seeing thrown around are that Harris got 75m votes, Trump got 77m, and 90m didn’t bother voting.

Exactly. Voting has never been enough, but it’s also the absolute bare minimum. How am I supposed to trust people to have my back who couldn’t take an hour out of their day to check some boxes?

Harm reduction would have saved trans people like me from being erased by the government.

I don’t know why I forgot to enable Proton, thank you for the reminder.

That’s so dumb I can’t believe I missed it, thank you. It’s not the most stable game even on Windows, but I’ll have to give it a try.

MusicBee not working on Linux is maybe the biggest thing holding me back. I want my play counts preserved, damnit. Also Age of Empires 2 DE doesn’t seem to even have a Proton option.

I didn’t realize Weird Al’s line about “me too’ing like some brain-dead AOL’er” was referencing Eternal September, he would make that reference.
