yeah I don’t think a usa based platform is really “long gaming” the fee speech problem. Bluesky now shifting to monetization plans. Its a matter of time until some rich dildo buys it up. If were lucky it will be mark cuban or somebody buts its still grim prospects.

couldn’t you just run games through linux?

My eyes glazed over reading this. Its like hearing people with 6 houses complain about property taxes.

He understands that even to be “independent” in this kind of election system you have to caucus/primary with one of the two parties.

Its literally politics 101. This is why we need ranked choice & proportional voting.

Elon is also a ketamine junkie sex pervert. You get a hot girl in suit to knock on his door and decapitate him.

The only way to deal with them is to call them on every bluff so that making a bluff becomes a liability’

x is a government platform now. Sign onto your government social media account.

because americans see voting the same as buying and endorsing a thing which is objectively wrong.

Not buying a product hurts the manufacturer.

Not voting does jack shit. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

America has powerful Karen/Kyle energy where people overreact to a slight flaw in service and this argument is the Karen/Kyle Tantrum argument over genuinely bad policies supported by Harris. They think if they take a fit this election they will be in a better spot next election. The reality is that more poeple will be homeless and out of reach. The media will be in worse shape.

Voting is always a trolley problem.

But overall I don’t think that’s the biggest group of people. The majority of people that didn’t vote I think were tuned out of the election because of ongoing failures.

bile is an important part of your body’s functions, don’t compare it to the silly storybook

I do think that when harris said stuff like “stop price gouging” fascist media made the mistake of airing her and combatting the point - which is weak sauce on their part. More of that would probably have worked. Less ads about trump unfitness more about reducing grocery costs.

This is why abandoning the “grocery store” strategy for “trump said naughty words” was a huge mistake.

All those guys who decided to sit it out on X.com (the non porn site) really did a great job making a difference there. Good job team twitter.

we need some kind of “subscribers bill of rights” both to discourage and to check the stupid business models.

I feel like this is a recurring theme for the silicon valley billionaires and we reached “Peak Bullshit” at NFTs and ever since then one thing after another has hit wall after wall

correct.

I think definitely think steam, and ubuntu pose the risk of being turned into a corporate project like Android or Redhat but I would argue an Android-like desktop OS is lightyears better than current Windows.

If you have an extended family member who is sympathetic, that is the best. Otherwise, look for somebody who is sympathetic and older with a spare room or something, if there’s some task you can help them with, even better. Older people are likely to be more stable and better understand their own limitations.

If you have an ID you should be able to get a copy of birth cert and social security by applying for them, if your family messes with them they can get fraud charges. You’ll need to file a change of address for disability etc. Try to work things out as possible.

The other thing you should do is see if some anarchist is willing to put an airtag or similar on your brother’s truck to monitor him. This will mean if your brother does end up doing his murder spree he can easily be tied to the murder at the least.

god everything except linux is going to run like shit in 10 yrs

this has been my theory. Gun ranges, especially indoor ones are linked with extreme levels of lead vapor. Throw in a bit of narcissism and a lack of education and you have a recipe for a mental gymnast. Although I think QAA podcast has noted that like extreme surgery recovery drug cocktails/routine breaking seem to also be turning points in many people’s journeys where they start to seek out conspiracies
