  I love to see it, but we need to start preparing for Trump to dissolve Congress (or have Congress dissolve itself if you want to argue the point). It’s in the cards the moment the legislature becomes unfriendly.

  And throwing. “Well, at least they’re over there. If they come closer, I’ll fuck them up.”

  … “Did they just yell ‘Heads up, shitass’? What the fuck, is that A FLYING ROCK”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't there mass protests in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, I’m going to acknowledge that there are protests, yes, but probably what OP is thinking of something more like the BLM protests during COVID where shit started to get real. There’s a few things going on here:

  1. People don’t have the time off like they did during COVID. They also aren’t locked up and less able to ignore the news.

  2. Resignation. I think this is the bigger of the three parts. I know for my part, I consider this a complete loss of the federal government. Even if we somehow avoid a dictatorship and get control of the government back, the damage that’s been done is so deep and complete that we’ll likely never fully recover from it, we’ll just have to move on with things as they are. My efforts are now focused on organizing balkanization. If Texas wants to be a fucking stupid theocracy with prosperity gospel televangelists and the antichrist at the top, who am I to get between them and a good time? Maybe without having to hear about what Daniel the terminally addicted Fox News viewer thinks about Critical Race Theory, we can get some shit done, fix healthcare, get some fucking trains and bike lanes put up.

  3. Lack of organization. The federal government has spent the last 100 years stomping any serious leftist movements both here and abroad. There is almost no living memory of what a real leftist movement looks like, or how to get one going, so we’re all having to roll them from scratch, and there’s still a lot of the old high-roading instincts that were implanted in us over the decades. It’s just going to take time.

  Make poop disappear? You’re thinking of a porta-potty or like the toilets they have in national parks that are basically just giant pits that get pumped out by shit trucks every so often.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You could use it as a camp or festival ground with very little upfront cost, especially if you plant some trees.

  God damnit, Johnson, he keeps funging it! We’ve got to find this guy!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Tbh, starting a sustainable timber operation seems like a pretty good idea if you can afford to wait 15-20 years for the investment to start to pay off. Idk, I guess you could offer it as a camp/hunting ground in the meanwhile.

  Also, they’re all looking through him, not at him. Plus, in a real picture, not everyone’s looking at the same thing always. The composition is also nonsense when you think about it. Dude is way off from the truck, by himself, stacking eggs on a table surrounded by a crowd of old people. That is not how aid distribution works.

  One of my win11 machines can’t even open the file explorer. It worked right up until I got an ‘update’, and I’ve been unable to open it since. Got to access all my files through the command line now, which, I mean, I can do, but it’s still a PITA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"You should probably just throw it away"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Bro, my the win11 family gaming machine can’t even properly display the game icons or open the file system

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"You should probably just throw it away"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Tbh, the only problems I ever had with gaming on Linux was:

  • Nvidia driver bullshit
  • Couldn’t do multiplayer on one indie game

  Gaming on Linux is like 98% of the way there imo. It was overall a good experience, and we’ve got plans to switch the big family gaming computer to Linux when MS starts pushing their live service windows 12 bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"You should probably just throw it away"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you just wanting to back up save files? I agree with the other person here, just backup the files that matter to you onto an external drive and then install Linux

  Hey, the article you linked shows your gestapo with no drip detained a citizen’s parents while they were taking her for brain cancer treatment. This is in c/conservative, so I assume you voted for this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, they’re right for the wrong reasons. The mainstream party is trying to hard to follow the republicans right while still paying lip service to the left. They need to rethink that, because even if they ran on the Trump 2016 platform, they’d be labelled as radical woke communists.

  I’m assuming that there’s no issue with print-on-demand and manufacture at POS; I know pretty much what I’m getting if I order a 3D printed dingus.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think the US will actually log its national parks?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Jared Diamond wrote about it in Collapse, where he covers how we handle extractive industries and how we could better regulate them. That’s where I learned about it. I tried finding an article about it, and I could find stuff talking about the policy indirectly, but nothing directly about it.

  I mean… I know I should be mad about it, but it’s just a master stroke.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think the US will actually log its national parks?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s be real, has Trump ever been to a national park? Like really been to one and not just popped in for a speech or photo op? Has he ever, in his entire sad life, been on a fucking hike? Been farther than 500 ft from the next nearest human? These places aren’t even real in his mind, they’re just concepts. It’s impossible to really imagine consequences to actions against concepts. He’ll absolutely make our parks private property if given the chance. Don’t like it? Too bad, go get rich and buy your own national park, nobody’s stopping you.

  I hope he and Elon live long enough to end up in the bread lines they’re going to cause.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think the US will actually log its national parks?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, it depends. On short leases, it does work exactly like the lorax. They just clear cut that shit as hard as they can to maximize how much money they can make on it. Montana and some other northern states eventually figured out that you should set these companies up with 100 year leases that pierce the corporate veil, so that even if the company strip cuts the plot and declares bankruptcy, you can go give the owner a big fat financial wedgie for the next 100 years. I think it’s a pretty smart solution, and from what I’ve heard, the companies in these arrangements do pretty good forest management.

  I think maybe that’s part of why The Last Of Us grabbed everyone so hard; it was a gritty, green game. STALKER 2 is brown AF, though. Thank God they skipped the whole bloom fad.
