Just kinda that guy, ya know?
Man I’m not happy about it either, but there’s no reality where we can talk our way out of this as a society. There will unfortunately be blood, whether it’s protests against the system getting rowdy with rage, or Fascist crackdowns as the Criminals in Chief seek power consolidation. We’re in for a rough ride no matter what.
Buddy, I don’t know how much clearer they need to be before you understand that they WILL start coming after American Citizens, of ALL types, so long as they don’t fall in line with the Fascist Regime. Hell, they’ve already started, just look at all the recent stories of people being detained at the borders over nonsense, like that couple in Vermont, or that guy in the southwest. Whether you like it or not, you and I are both targets, simply because we are willing to say ‘No’ to their demands. Even if it’s not you or I, this shit WILL get violent before we’re through, and no amount of logical argument or rhetoric will change that.
Do you even hear yourself? Do you actually think these Fascist Goons are gonna patiently listen to your logical arguments and rhetoric, and just let you go? No, they won’t. They’re gonna swoop in, grab you off the street, and throw you into the back of a van before you can open your mouth. Trying to out-argue a fascist takeover is a fool’s errand; the only thing they respect is power for power’s sake. But hey, if you wanna try talking your way out of being illegally deported by Goons with subaverage IQs, be my guest.
That’s a lot of words for not a lot of results. Yes, I am in fact saying that by simple fact of working for ICE, you are a bad person, and I hate you.
One of the defining major differences between ICE goons and the MD guy they snatched off the street, as well as everyone else they’ve deported without due process, is that ICE is currently an arm of the government. They are inherently an extension of the current power structure, and by following these orders to randomly and wantonly deport people without notice or process, they are enabling it. Trying to come at this with the stance of “it’s not that simple, guys! Believe me!” is disingenuous at best, and sympathetic at worst.
Moreover, I have seen zero news about ICE officials stepping down or getting fired in disgrace for all this bullshit. Considering that, they are either wholly and happily complicit, or completely apathetic to the whole thing. Neither is good.
There are no good people in ICE. It doesn’t matter how they present themselves outside of work, they’re all Fascist class traitors willingly upholding and legitimizing a Fascist regime, detaining and deporting citizens and immigrants alike ILLEGALLY, and filling the role of the Gestapo from Fascist Germany. Being abusive, racist, and a bastard probably isn’t mandatory for the role, but it’s the overwhelming majority of people who work there.
Do not pity or feel sorry for them, they’d kill you if they could get away with it.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa… “COULD”??? We both know that they WILL do that, given the chance. The Fash Trash are opportunistic parasites, after all.
Yeah, I also use a pen tablet for some stuff, and it handles it decently well. One issue I’ve run into with it is that if I turn my monitor off while the tablet is plugged in, there’s like a 50/50 chance the monitor won’t load video unless I turn the tablet on too. It’s funky. Otherwise, getting my RTX4070 up and running wasn’t too hard. It’s a good distro for idiots (me).
Awful joke, terrible, horrendous.
I recently moved to Fedora KDE Plasma after years on W10, simply because I don’t want to use W11 and its AI bullshit. So far, it’s been a great time, and I haven’t noticed any major performance issues, so I’m happy with it. Having to update everything every few days is pretty novel though, and ‘sudo dnf update -y’ makes me feel like Hackerman, king of all Hackers. I think I like the customization options most though. I get way more control over what happens on my PC than W10 ever gave me, and it’s all wrapped in a very user-friendly GUI. Overall 8.5-9/10.
He’s just getting extra silly with it.
Those outcomes are the explicit reasons they HAVEN’T repealed those programs in the past. Gutted them several times over, turned them into money piles for The Rich, yes, but never, EVER actually tried to repeal them. They’ve campaigned against these programs for DECADES, screaming about how awful they are, how they’ll get rid of them and then everyone will be wealthy, for YEARS!!!
But they haven’t. As a political scapegoat, they’re too damn useful; they consistently get a major voting bloc motivated and just plain angry enough to head to the polls and knowingly, openly vote against their own interests. But more than that, they know that those same people, the ones frothing at the mouth against the immigrant, the queer, and the minority, are the ones who will suffer most should these programs fail, leading them to direct their anger at those who caused it.
And so, the programs persist, for should they actually fail, heads will roll…
Remember folks, it is ALWAYS morally and ethically justified to pirate Adobe software. They’re a garbage, predatory company that needs to crash and burn.
Fellas, are you actually gay and trans if you make your straight GF cum?
I’ll believe it when I fucking see it. My Aunts and Uncles still love him, and they’re not even American.
Yup. Their immune systems are wiped clean for the next 2-5 YEARS, meaning they have no protection against anything EXCEPT Measles, so they’ll be getting sicker, more often, for longer periods, and recovery will be harder. On top of that, because it’s fucking Measles, there’s now a nonzero chance they just don’t wake up one day because the mutated virus causes their nervous system to swell and their brain to crush itself in their skull (nearly 100% lethal). Measles is NASTY, and now these dipshits are gonna experience that first-hand.
They got the physical victory, but you got the emotional victory, and anyone who gets violent over a ‘Your Mom’ joke like that will NEVER live it down. They probably still think about you sometimes.
The colloquial “third place” is, as I understand it, a (usually) public place OUTSIDE of Home or Work where people can meet, hangout, play, or just exist without the expectation of spending money or being productive in some way. Examples would be Parks, Libraries, old-timey Public Houses and Cafes, Playgrounds, Forests and Wilderness within walking distance, and more.
Car culture killed a lot of that by removing the ability to reasonably walk places outside major metro areas, as businesses relocated to cities, and because they straight up increased the fatality rate for walking substantially. Internet Culture also killed it since you can just talk to your buddies through the Demon Rectangle instead of meeting IRL.
