  • Bro, no one who is a 'casual user' or is one of the "people who aren't into technology" will ever need to look at the AUR. I've set up Endeavor for a friend who is, lovably, an idiot. He used it, without issue, for games on steam, opening documents, and browsing the web, which is one thing more than most will be using it for. Everything a casual person might need is in a gui.

  • The little person, too, needs to learn to just say no. Make them push it farther. Fight back and get pyrrhic victories.

    I'm guessing this was on a military base, so the usual eviction shit doesn't apply, but remember that in civilian life, until law enforcement shows up with a court order in hand, anyone removing you from your house is breaking criminal law.

  • most of the citizens of DC will literally want to see Trump, Musk, and Vance’s heads on pikes

    If things get bad enough, the military and those guarding the president may simply look the other way and let the mob storm the gates

    I wish I could live in your fantasy world, mate, but it's never going to happen. The ideological divide has mutated beautifully into full-on trench warfare between camps of cheerleaders/fans. There are more than enough of the 'other' in positions that matter to make the machine's gears keep turning.

  • I'm pulling numbers from the vagaries of books and articles read years ago, so accuracy probably isn't great on that.

    From the wikipedia page, it looks like there's a fair bit of controversy about what polling really means, what it's collecting, and whether it's worth anything at all, but estimates for splits on the political divide definitely and routinely place more people on the liberal side than conservative, at ratios as incredible [in a 'whoah, really' way more than me caring, just because it seems like we have a 1:1:1 split of Dem/Rep/don't-give-a-fuck in voting numbers) as 28:1 in some places (New England, apparently).

  • There are enough already in those positions. Even heavily biased industries rarely get close to being dominated by one political party. The 'liberal white towers' of academia are only something like 1:6 Dem/left:Rep/right, and that's usually one of the extremes that republicans bitch about. They'd bitch about other industries if they were anywhere close. I would bet there are enough lackeys and people who feel neutral that the oh-so-important people don't feel much negative blowback.
