  • The people who have to pick up the pieces is exactly the point. The tech bros already have a plan in place to be the only ones with the resources to allow people to survive under the broken infrastructure. Broken beyond repair. A series of vassal states under their control and completely beholden to them.

  • I did some experimenting for a while and eventually settled on the Oxo cold brew system. It's super quick to clean and start a batch. The water amounts are set and they suggest 10oz of grounds which is the size of many pre ground bags. The only factor left is time. I've found that 12 hours suits me. If I want a batch to enjoy with creamer, I'll do 16 hours.

  • Line 1 of pretty much every government oath out there: Uphold and defend the constitution. First and foremost. You're not going to find "do any bidding of a newly elected regime" as part of anyone's official duties. So the "voter mandate" is complete bullshit.

  • I think I might be able to help with Bazaar settings if you still want to try it. It took a lot of playing around with things, there weren't any guides at the time I set it up. But I can send you screenshots of my settings and highlight the crucial settings.

  • There are some decent comments here overall with stuff I bet would help you. But it sounds to me like you have lost the appreciation and rewards from life and the world around you. I would wonder if you have undiagnosed anxiety.

    This isn't going to sound great probably, but the problem isn't the world around you, it's just you. The good news, 'you' is the only part of this you can fix. The rest, totally outside of your control.

    You need to retrain your brain. Slow down to appreciate the smaller things. Even the tiniest things. Read up on the raisin technique. I think raisins are kind of dumb, but apply it to everyday things. Go slow. Examine. Savor. Eat slowly. And with each bite think of the process that got that very thing into your mouth. From growing the ingredients, raising, milking, whatever. The process and storage, maybe inspection, transporting it to the store, you buying it and cooking it. The skill it took to do that and the history of you cooking to get there. It's an awful lot packed into each bite. Do that with as many bites as you can. Be mindful. Repeat it. You don't need a different thought every time. Just keep thinking it through. And apply that to more things throughout your day as you're able to. It's not an overnight process but it's much faster than you might think to regain the value, passion for things. Do this people as well. Forgo the NPC thoughts, and delve in. How they got to be who they are. Ask questions over time and build a mental roadmap.

    That's pretty much it. I could have easily written your post word for word a decade ago. With therapy and general learning, fighting anhedonia was a process. And still is. But I do appreciate things and I look forward to things. I often look forward the most to me not being me tomorrow but a slightly better version of me.

  • Eh not always. He's shown a lot of personal growth in the last 10 years, maybe 15. He saw the problems at the time but he had some Boston blinders of misogyny and misattributed the cause a lot. He seems to have fixed it. Therapy did wonders for him it seems.

  • I get your point, but just because you and your freedom are immune to prosecution doesn't mean your money and property are safe from seizure. For example, if it's believed that Mar-a-Lago was used in the process of a crime, like withholding documents or discussing illegal things, then it can be seized in civil asset forfeiture and Trump would have to prove his innocence to get it back. Same with his money. I think it's possible in the current context to find a judge willing to try this. I have no idea how the execution of such an order would play out. But there are still interesting cards unplayed.
