More generally, the founders wrote the constitution as if every leader will act in good faith. That has proven to be a bad idea, but also how do you even account for that? Their idea was a system of checks and balances, but that failed to account for when one party has control over every branch, and for when one branch goes rogue and starts ignoring the other two branches, as we are seeing now with the executive.

IMO, limiting power (money in the case of a capitalistic society) is the only way. The founders had the right idea with the limitation of power, but they didn't take that idea to the economic side of things. Force all corporations to be worker owned coops and have a hard wealth cap of $50 million by taxing anything over at a rate of 100%.

Yes, but DXVK is a very, very good translation layer and is very performant. I can vouch for it as a Linux user who uses it on a regular basis.

Some people even use DXVK to make older games run better on Windows (most notably GTA IV)

The system is the problem here, because it incentivizes these kinds of corporations to do these things.

So by the very nature of capitalism, all corporations.

When you have a boss "ruling over" a worker, that is just barely different than living as a serf. The difference here is you can choose your boss, but inherent in the system is that workers don't earn the full value of their work (surplus value), otherwise it wouldn't be worth it for the owner class to hire anyone.

Worker-owned cooperatives are pretty cool, though. Would be nice if all corporations were forced to be worker-owned.

FYI, you can run RADV in Windows using an experimental patch: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/29945

IIRC Intel is using DXVK for their drivers on Windows. Not sure if that ever changed.

Sometimes they block that, so you have to do this instead:

    
me.accountBalance = exploit.infiniteMoneyGlitch();

  

You only get access to that method if you were born with rich parents, though.

It is, but... you know.

Literally everything is a red flag in this post. Stay far away from this person.

I personally think you need to take some time off dating in general (both women and men) to really figure out what you want (not just sexually or romantically, but what you want a relationship to be). Don't let other people influence that. Dating out of lonliness is a great way to get stuck on the receiving end of an abusive relationship. You need to be comfortable with and love yourself before it is possible to be in a healthy relationship. It is a lot of work to do so, but it is absolutely worth it in the end.

Also unrelated, but make sure you stay far away from drugs. They will make not just this situation, but every situation worse.

After the War on Terror was declared, it essentially meant that the executive branch could essentially go to war with any country if they call them terrorists without former approval from Congress.

Sounds like some kind of addiction, possibly?

I'm not sure, but I'll think about it while I heat up my dab rig to take some massive fat dabs so I can smoke a joint while loading a bowl.

Yeah, James Madison definitely made a mistake writing "and", but also fuck the courts for that ruling.

I mean, it's quite literally a Nazi fascist cult. No need to call it anything less

It's mainly a mix of economic frusturation and a divide and conquer strategy by the rich in order to have the masses blame immigrants and people of other races/religions/genders/sexual orientations/etc. for all of their problems instead of blaming the elite class and capitalism. The lie of meritocracy being real also plays a big role here ("temporarilly embarrassed billionaires").

There is another angle, though, and that's sexual frusturation. When a teenage male has issues getting laid and they look online for some kind of support, they find people like Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson who tells them that men who "get laid" are "alphas" or whatever and that women should be treated as subhuman or as slaves. These incels have likely never actually attempted to make friends with any women outside of a sexual or romantic context, because if they did, they would learn that women are the same as them, even when it comes to their struggles (even pertaining to dating/sexual frusturations).

I think the latter reason (specifically Gamergate) sparked the fire that made the first truely possible on a scale that we haven't seen in our lifetimes.

There is also the additional piece of info that the majority of people won't take action against what is happening in politics until it personally affects them, which is a very unfortunate reality.

I hear Elon has been wanting to colonize Mars.

Cult. MAGA is a cult.

Not only was he illegally searched, but McDonald's is likely engaging in illegal facial recognition based surveillance, possibly in collusion with the federal government.

No way a random McDonald's worker could randomly point out that Mangione looks like the suspect, of which we had very few photos.

Not to mention the solitary confinement, although unfortunately, I'm not sure that's illegal, even given the 8th amendment.

Why is Nazi in quotes?

Reuters has no balls

Yes. PipePipe is a fork of NewPipe.

Because GNU dd-rescue exists

I hate how true this is. I still won't personally engage in violence out of principle, but the populous as a whole can only take so much before not even Netflix can distract them any longer, especially when the fascist government actively engages in violent behavior against that same populous.

I also hate how most people don't care about what's happening until it personally affects them or someone they know. Like, it's just basic empathy.
