I’m almost as disappointed in the rest of the world not standing up to the USA as I am disappointed in my fellow citizens’ abdication of social and civic responsibility, common decency, and basic humanity.
- Comment on Anon watches The Terminator 1 day ago:
Yes, both sides require wedge issues to perpetuate a two party system in which neither has to enact the will of the people if they can campaign on divisive issues that effectovely change nothing.
I did not say both parties were the same.
Republicans are actively marching towards oligarchy, autocracy, and evil.
Democrats have shown they are too cowardly to rock the boat and fight back. As the opposition party they have shown their true colors: ameaningless foil beholden to the same wealthy donor class as those they purport to oppose.
- Comment on Anon watches The Terminator 1 day ago:
Republicans and Democrats. They both require wedge issues to keep us divided and easily steered.

I’ve finally freed myself from my deadly vices (nicotine and alcohol) just in time to desperately need them as coping mechanisms for the living nightmare my country has become.

- Comment on The $700 price tag isn’t hurting PS5 Pro’s early sales 1 month ago:
I hear you. I’ve had every playstation since the PS1. We even own a PS4 and PS4 Pro. Mythbusters was the beginning of the end for me. When they yanked Mythbusters without warning or recompense it drove home what I already knew: my digital library was only as good as the whims of Sony. I haven’t made a purchase on their platform since.
And like you I also have Plus for a while, but I’ve noticed more offerings are starting to be PS5 only. And maybe it’s bias informing my experience but I could swear they’ve already begun enshitifying the PS4 store the same way they degraded the PS3 store when the 4 came out. They removed some of the browsing options, like browsing by category.

It was good of Sony to bribe enough people to bring it to your attention.

And because of double jeopardy he’d be free from further (criminal) prosecution for those charges.

I’m wondering if it will run on the Steamdeck I bought my daughter for Christmas.
- Comment on No need to boil the ocean 1 month ago:
Would it blow your mind to find out it’s nuanced and good judgement and data should be used to determine when we should or should not implement new laws or repeal old ones? Or do you prefer binary choices that force a loss on one side or another?
- Comment on No need to boil the ocean 1 month ago:
USA checking in with a very short, nowhere near comprehensive, list of the more egregious breaches in trust by the federal government; local and state governments undoubtedly have more to add: Business Plot left uninvestigated Kennedy Assassination and the Warren Commission War on Drugs Bush v Gore decided by Supreme Court for Bush despite losing popular vote which led into… 9/11 and Weapons of Mass Destruction - wars in Iraq and Afghanistan justified by lies

I live in the USA. You’re describing life in the USA.

- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 2 months ago:
What makes me really sad is knowing it didn’t have to be like this, and it doesn’t have to get worse to get better…but it likely will, and that tears me apart.
- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 2 months ago:
Mass deportations sweeping up agricultural workers will need to be replaced when a national emergency is declared because crops can’t be harvested. President declares the crops can be harvested by prison populations…what’s the word for captives forced to labor for no pay indefinitely?
- Comment on They're called leaves for a reason. 2 months ago:
Probably. With a clover lawn you’ll probably need to reseed annually anyway. $4 per 1lb bag covers ~10,000 sq ft so not really a bank buster there, just a little work in the fall and spring.

- Comment on They're called leaves for a reason. 2 months ago:
Let those leaves kill the grass and replace it with moss, clover, walkable thyme, native grasses, or any number of more interesting ground covers. I’m working towards a no-mow lawn. It’s fun finding creative ways to thwart a pesky city ordinance: “A minimum of fifty percent (50%) of all yard areas shall be comprised of turf grass”.
