I’ve been carrying a tinfoil hat around for a while now - I think big D Democrats like Trump in the same way the Republicans like being the minority party, because it gives them both something to point at while they pick our pockets. Any party that was serious about defeating a fascist threat to the United States would have immediately stopped arms sales to Gaza when constituents polled 20 points in favor of ceasing the genocide in Palestine. Yet again Democrats played to money from Lockheed Martin and Boeing and Raytheon, and told us to hold our noses, and yet again enough voters told the DNC to fuck off by refusing to go to the polls for candidates who wouldn’t represent them, and yet again we ended up with Republicans controlling all three branches of government.

If we even get another election in the states, the Democratic party needs to cease to exist so that a more progressive group can actually represent the people. And I know that sounds fucking insane, but the best case scenario if the Dems are still relevant in 2028 is that the pendulum swings back and they continue to sit with their thumbs up their asses waiting to lose again four to eight years later after once again disrenfranchising their base.

Oh good, someone finally built the Torment Nexus. I was so worried that the title “Don’t Build the Torment Nexus” would have put them off of it.

If I didn’t need to have a profile there for work I wouldn’t. I had two jobs that were kind enough to tell me when I asked that they immediately passed on me because my resume had no LinkedIn or Facebook, and I deleted my Facebook a year ago.

The only thing I use AI for is generating character art for tabletop portraits and when the well is sufficiently poisoned I will probably go back to Pinterest.

SAY IT!

It’s funny, I own a switch and I would have bought the game (and I probably will still if the technical and QoL issues get resolved) but I’m emulating it better than the hardware can run it right now.

He’s been casually racist around most of the people in the office so I’m sure he’ll fit right in.

I like it more, but I’m a fan of the more classic Zeldas. It’s good, but it’s marred by the same technical issues that plagued the LA remake, and the lack of some basic QoL features like a Quick Select or Favorites wheel is bringing it from ‘great’ to ‘good.’

My next board and all for the foreseeable future will be AMD. I’m only rocking a 13600K right now and I haven’t had any issues, but the last bios update I did specifically to get the first microcode update wiped my GPU drivers, and the gigabyte update platform installed Norton and some other network monitoring software without my consent.

My dickhead boss quit to go be a cop. I hope I can get back on salary after he’s gone.

God I would love for Total Distortion to show up on GOG or Steam one day.

“READ A BOOK!”

It makes a lot more sense if you reframe it as freedom for rich white landowners in the 1800s to not have to pay taxes to King George, not so much for the peons, paupers and slaves.

My job absolutely fucking sucks but the money’s good and I need insurance so I can’t leave without having anything lined up, and the market for IT jobs is absolutely dogshit right now so I’ve had zero hits on the apps I’ve put out.

I hate capitalism.

I can picture it, but I cannot imagine the pig happy.

Yeah no, that Oregon sandwich is almost certainly Pine State Biscuits’ “The Reggie Deluxe” which is delicious, but there are maybe five locations entirely in Portland at which it’s served.

Dropping $1600 on a new compressor so I don’t pass out while driving in 100+ degree weather. Fan-fucking-tastic.

Think about how many times in the last few months Trump has complained about the rigged trials. Now imagine him being able to unilaterally decide which investigations are lawful and which aren’t.

That’s the joke. It’s (sarcastically) portraying Bezos as the one getting the raw end of the deal.

Nobody.
