  • We have two cats that are obsessed with bread. Can't leave any out without them fairly quickly chewing through the wrapping to eat the bread. We've had quite a few cats over the years, but have never seen that type of weirdness before.

  • I have little doubt that the country will end up as some version of Trump's authoritarian state. The question is the timing.

    I actually think that our best chance of avoiding it (in the long run) is another Trump victory. He will make those changes so abruptly that people will react far more strongly than if we slid into an authoritarian state gradually. I mean....think about the possibility of Trump having won in 2020. The DNC would have to accept that they need to nominate a truly progressive candidate, and people would be demanding change immediately. Instead, we're justifying Biden/Harris again because they're not Trump.

  • Probably because of the amount of money they receive. If I understand correctly, they're set to receive billions of dollars a year through 2028 because of a commitment made by Obama. The US military has its hands in everything and spends money anywhere, buy I think it's always been disproportionately generous with Israel, and in spite of war crimes it's committed.

  • This is pretty ridiculous. Every politician is full of shit to at least some degree, and our "reporters" are horribly biased and broken. If they really want to do something about it, they can discuss broadcasting standards or maybe consequences for deliberately deceptive journalism. No single group or issue should have its own standard.

  • Not exactly a cancelation, but Star Trek TNG. All of the characters were far more developed than TOS's, which is why they didn't work as well in movies. Better for them to have their own episodes than to unsuccessfully have them share a movie. Any of them could have been just as good, if not better, as multi-part episodes.

  • Didn't say it was hard. To be clear...by saying "well enough," I mean that I don't have any major problems with it...I'm just no expert. I find that there are two many pointless "utilities" that only slow the machine down. Both of my last two (brand new) computers have had both Windows and Ubuntu installed before adding anything else. There's actually still nothing on the Windows partitions, but whenever I switch to it, it's like switching from a car to a bicycle. It's ridiculous how Windows can be so, so slow "right out of the box," while Ubuntu just works.
