When you need to doomscroll.

Using an old spare as a test is a good idea.

And to think, my wife mocks my hoard of old parts, cables, adapters, etc. Who's laughing now? It matters not that it grows at an inverse rate at which it is depleted...I did say hoard, did I not?

Yeah...ok, so try it with a spare. Sounds good.

That's the plan no matter what but always glad to hear from the voices of experience.

Wiki-Tikki-Tavi

I use it to vet ganes for my kids at a glance. I still allow them to play some but I want them going in with eyes open to the machinations going on.

I want to swap my alienware aurora to linux but I'm struggling to find a distro that I know will be compatible with my hardware. Is there a list for bazzite driver support? I'm sure all my hardware will work in most linux distros geared toward gaming but it'd be nice to have some assurance beforehand.

Yes, that's yet another dark pattern.
\ You can use this site to help with your game choices.

Google dropped their promise not to research AI wepons just in time to build the OS for Musk's drone armies rolling out of his giga factories.

Oh...it's a tankie. Nevermind.

Nothing worth discussing here.

Go back to leather tasting.

You misspelled gallows.

Thank you for not falling into inescapable despair this day. Be well. We're all struggling in some way right now. Take care of yourself and those around you as well as you can in these times. Disengage when you need to recharge. Just don't give up.

Feel seen, friend, I've felt the same since Gore v Bush was given to the republicans by the Democrats and SCOTUS.

But maybe I’m wrong, and like the old quote they’ll do the right thing at the last moment when they realize they have no more choices.

You mean like the German people did?

but sure as shit I’m struggling to keep up

You don't have to keep up with all of it. That's a sure road to being overwhelmed. Follow the topics most important to you from multiple sources in hopes of getting the largest view as possible.

Spend time on new sites not based in the US, it helps to know the rest of the world sees what is going on for what it is.

Make sure to keep at your hobbies and interests that aren't politically related so you get some downtime and recuperation.

Shut up. You're doing harm with this bullshit. Stop.

I'm open to finding a way to adapt the ideas and concepts from 1984 into a format that would be digestible to modern audiences without seeming as dated as it is prescient.

More akin to dusting the china cabinet with a hammer while ignoring the missing wall behind it.

The big flaw here is you placing any faith and trust that Elon et all are acting in good faith and truly have a desire to do right by the American people.

Shutting down USAID was the richest man in the world deciding the poorest people in the world do not deserve food and medecine. There are people in a famine in Sudan that will starve as a direct consequence of Elon Musk's actions at the behest of Donald Trump.

And you think that man might have an altruistic reason for wanting to access the entirety of the treasury department data.

That is confoundingly naive.

The attorney general for USAID was investigating Starlink in the Ukraine.

Elon shut down USAID.

Tesla Received Triple the Amount of OSHA Complaints Than the 10 Largest US Car Factories Combined

OSHA is in their sites to dismantle next.

USAID accounts for 1% of the US government's budget - how is eliminating that at all consequential to reigning in spending?

OSHA accounts for 0.0000537322% of the federal budget at $362,800,000.

The federal spending for 2024 was $6.752 trillion.

The department of defense requested $842 billion for 2024. Want to guess if they got it?

There are obvious places to look for excess goverment spending. Completely gutting agencies that barely amount to a rounding error in the budget is not going to accomplish anything.

They are not acting in good faith. Take the blinders off. These are not good people trying to do the right thing for America.

And just in case you missed this earlier: The richsst man in the world decided the poorest people in the world do not deserve food and medecine.

Edit to add: the budget numbers were the best I could do researching from my cellphone but I am quite confident in the dispropotionate funding for the one department no one is discussing reigning in spending for.

You mean a list of unelected people appointed by an unelected South African billionaire and have been given unprecedented, unfettered access to every US citizens' personal information and banking information if they have ever done direct deposit with the federal government?

A list of these guys?

• Akash Bobba
• Edward Coristine
• Luke Farritor
• Gautier Cole Killian
• Gavin Kliger
• Ethan Shaotran

It is irresponsible not to name this team demolishing democracy. Share their names far and wide. They are breaking the law in plain site and officials whose job it is to prevent this are asleep at the wheel or actively participating.

What's the sad but true emoji?
