A year ago I was unemployed and single. My answer then would have been considerably different than now. I’m much happier with my life but the world is now much worse off and I’m currently struggling to reconcile my radical progressive views with the desire for a comfortable life. I’m still strongly of the opinion that our society (in the US at least) is beyond repair, but I’m less eager to see the reset button pressed. I’m fortunate to be in a blue state (though like all blue states, it gets real red outside the city limits), so my plan at the moment is to pretend the federal government doesn’t exist.

This wasn’t the first boxing match for either of them; their brains are finely pureed already. As proof: they both agreed to this fight.

Simpsons did it first, with Pierce Brosnan voicing the home assistant.

How can there be N/A though? How can any functional computer not have an operating system? Or is just reading the really big MHz number of the CPU count as it being a supercomputer?

Might have to do the waffle stomp on him.

Graphics cards are so bulky nowadays it’s often hard to even fit two on one mobo, as much as I’d love to see 10 GPUs all linked up.

Sounds like he’ll end the genocide! Technically, it’s no longer genocide when there’s no one left to murder.

Day 1065: still feeling fatigue. Poor sleep habits or longest period ever?

Yep, when the Republicans went mask off in 2016, the Dems followed suit. They’re no longer content with lying to us or selling us on vague ideas like hope and change. I thought it was refreshing, back when I thought people had the capacity to demand change.

Since the formation of the Democratic Party there haven’t ever been two Democrats elected subsequently without the first one dying in office. The pendulum is constantly swinging back and forth, getting further to the right with each swing.

Hell, that might have been the Dems’ original plan: get Biden elected a second time, have him retire during his second term, then Harris gets all the goodwill and she might have been able to keep a D in the White House until 2032. It would have been a shitty plan, doomed to fail even worse, but it would explain why they waited so damn long for Biden to step aside.

And before horses they were called “wotels” because you walked to them.

Selling cheaper food to places that have less money? It cannot be!

Alternative title: Capitalists accused of doing capitalism.

That’s not a firing offense, that guy has HR Director of Hiring written all over him!

It could prevent more blood being spilled over a larger time period however. Definitely a “nuke vs ground invasion” dilemma where there are no good options.

Glancing over that word salad, it looks like a pile of bandaids on capitalism.

Here’s a list of actually progressive things that would do what her list would be pretending to do and more:

Universal Healthcare. Wealth cap. Breaking up any corporation that is in more than one industry. Universal education. Complete medical and student debt forgiveness. Complete cessation of aid to governments engaged in war crimes. Complete eradication of for-profit weapon manufacturing. Universal Basic Income.

Stock up on cheap vodka and old rags.

A party for the working class would be the biggest tent of all. But focusing on divisiveness is more profitable.

If it isn’t the original Gutenberg bible I refuse to swear.

I had to reboot my Windows 10 desktop because the software I have to manage my wallpaper wasn’t working (and still isn’t), and had to unplug my second monitor during reboot otherwise the Steam overlay won’t work. After rebooting, I had a different software prompt me to update and the save file location window froze the browser for 3-4 minutes, while discord was freezing in the foreground. The taskbar disappeared until I restarted Explorer.exe, some telemetry process I had never heard of before was eating up 92-100% of the CPU and I had to go into the scheduler to disable it.

This is an average day with Windows nowadays. I didn’t even mention the myriad of perpetual issues I’ve been having.

Of course on my Linux laptop Chrome wouldn’t update automatically either through the browser or from the command line (and I have to use Chrome because Google Drive doesn’t work right on Firefox on Linux).
