- Comment on Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days? 4 days ago:
Because Microsoft insists on treating its users with contempt.
With Linux, you don’t need to replace your computer if it is capable of running Windows 10. For many, hardware upgrades are a requirement if they wish to stick with Microsoft. Installing a Linux distro will extend the life cycle of an older machine, at no cost.
That’s too much value at zero personal cost to ignore.

These are dark times, and it certainly feels like doing anything on your own is hopeless.
Which is a line of thinking that the bad guys love to hear.
What the bad guys cannot stand or tolerate, is solidarity. The truth of the matter is that the bad guys are badly outnumbered, which is why they act forcefully; they need the populace to to be docile.
You don’t need to be a foot soldier to help. You can resist in all sorts of ways. A constant supply of passive aggressive acts from all directions can be incredibly effective way of degrading the morale of fascists.

Bear in mind that this is happening in the United States of America, where companies do drug testing on their employees, and can fire people because they smoke weed.
That’s for ordinary mundane jobs, that have nothing to do with national policy.

It might be a demographics thing, but instead of getting pissed off, I’m willing and able to simply let sentiment and any sense of fealty die.
Never mind calming a sense of anger, how will they get me to feel anything about their product?

I love Nintendo. I have all the residual warm memories, plus the disposable income to buy a Switch 2. I am the easiest segment of their established base to market to.
I’m not mad, I’m just not going to buy anymore.
In time, Nintendo will be something I used to love.
- Comment on HBO Boss Insists 'Harry Potter' Show Will Not Contain J.K. Rowling's Anti-Trans Views 2 months ago:
I’m ancient, so never got into it.
It’s not quite the same thing, but I used to be a fan of Kevin Spacey, and can list at least five movies that he’s in that I really like.
As it turns out, the excellence of his professional work is utterly replaceable; I haven’t re watched any of his stuff, and backfilled any sense of loss with other content from other talented actors.
My advice would be to hold those memories fondly, but consider that chapter over. Moving forward, behave as though the author, and all her works died.

Speaking of your intrepid mission to put conservative content in as many spaces as you can, in an effort to put a positive spin on what it means to be a conservative:
Amongst the sea of heavy handed, lipstick on a pig takes of of ongoing Trump antics, i see that you posted some heartwarming story about some republican legislators shaving their heads in support of a Democrat colleague with cancer.
A few years ago, there was a gif posted on reddit, of a very loveable working dog of some sort being reunited with their owner or working partner or something, with all the warm fuzzy goodness you’d expect from such gifs. This reunion took place at a United Airlines gate/desk, clearly visible on the carpet of the wonderful reunion.
The gif was posted several days after United Airlines had their goons beat the fuck out of, and forcibly remove that surgeon, who didn’t want to give up his seat to fix an overbooking fuckup on United Airlines part.
There is a scene in the opening act of Django, right after he is liberated, and the slavers are now confronted by their now well-armed former captives, and the one guy summons up the absolute best example of kindness that he’s shown the captives, as a bargaining chip while pleading for his life. As in the absolute best case that he can make for himself, because his life was on the line. Do you remember what that was?
Yeah, it’s difficult to highlight examples of humanity, when the lies of ommision required to make them stand out are so numerous and severe.
You’re basically fueled by hate, but don’t like that about yourself.
Never mind spin for one moment, and consider every action that the Trump administration has taken. Disregard all of their words attached to those actions. Keep all of that in mind, and reflect on why a handful of republican politicians shaving their heads for a work buddy, is the best thing you could find to radiate how humane and kind Republicans are.
That’s a suggestion for introspection, if you have the capacity for it. Any rebuttal or comment you might have simply won’t address the character flaws that govern all of your responses.

Your posting pattern betrays your purpose in the Fediverse.
That being said, if you’re actually a conservative versus just doing a paid gig at some Russian troll farm:
The ghost of William F Buckley Jr would kick your ass up between your shoulder blades for besmirching his name.
Never liked the man, but holy fuck would he be revolted by the likes of you.
