Cybertruck owners deserve to be bullied you can't change my mind

You'd be shocked to hear that much the same is true of many or even MOST of the world's largest companies.

Everything uses SQL. The world fucking runs on SQL

(yes I know SQL isn't something that you can "run" something on yadda yadda...)

I think Motorola makes a much better flip phone in terms of experience overall. I also really like their software, however their track record on updates is less than stellar.

It's one of the best ones to come out recently, but it's still significantly taller than the pre-iPhone 6 models

They gave out Wipeout and infamous for free out of that, I got a lot of play time out of those two games.

You've heard of racist dog whistles now get ready for a tucking TRAIN WHISTLE holy fuck

You want to avoid it everywhere possible of course.

But when the GF tries to use Jellyfin on whatever random device that doesn't have the codec support to play it, it is nice to have.

A mini PC is a good middle ground. Mostly for the video transcode and machine learning power.

I made fresh cranberry sauce this year and thought it was badass

Seems like a good thing to milk for a bit then GTFO when you save enough to achieve some goal

To be fair he was also a dumbass in that regard and repeatedly refused to get actually treated in favor of holistic bullshit.

Iirc he'd have lived quite a lot longer if he had.

Call it Twitter. X is a stupid name

The eMac was one of the best of the era IMO

Seems like some of the bans are being undone? Testing the waters? Banning everything until a mod steps forward and says they were actively modding?

It seems like only straight porn allowed what the fuck they banned /r/gayporn

Like if they wanted to ban ALL NSFW subs that would be shitty but I can get why corpos don't like that. But this seems designed to generate controversy.

I already got my direct file in and it says I should get the return soon so uh, here's hoping

Edit: got it

They've stacked the judiciary and the legislative seems unwilling to put up a fight.

Even if the judiciary wouldn't be onboard with the sheer scale of destruction of the system they're meant to uphold going on here, that takes weeks, months, years.

They can gut the fed in days as you see. They can barge into whatever branch of the government, start barking illegal orders and expect to be followed. Nobody is stopping them. The scale of it overwhelms what the system would've been able to fix in the past.

I try not to be hyperbolic but Trump and Co have destroyed the thin veneer of legality far faster than I thought possible and faced vanishingly little real pushback. We're past laws at this point, The unloyal are being purged as we speak and this shit is going to hit an exponential curve of fucked now.

Leftists have always been mostly pro-gun. Not in a fetishist, burning desire to murder in the way that right wingers are. We just understand that it's a lot harder to oppress an armed group, and also that the oppressive system isn't gonna overthrow itself.

That's not to say change through peaceful means isn't possible or shouldn't be attempted as much as possible, but it has generally only ever worked with the threat of violence should it fail. But history and theory shows us it will probably come to violence.

Who are we going to arm? Undocumented people? Trans people?

Sounds like a great start. We're all oppressed by capitalism, but marginalized like these are also oppressed in different ways on top of that (intersectionality). Good on identifying that.

And they're going to shoot who? The cops, ICE? what's the plan General?

We've not had to deal with large scale civil conflicts in most of the west for a while. But when it comes down to it, yeah probably. We haven't reached that point yet, seemingly.

But anyway if you still hold Liberal views about banning all guns from private ownership I urge you to encourage gun ownership among marginalized people. You will never see the government quicker to ban guns than the day they start arming themselves en masse. California's (relatively) stronger gun laws started to be passed in response to Black Panther members encouraging much the same under Reagan's governorship.

Automotive too
