“Oh so you’re for changing the gender of a child, but not for renaming a lake.”

Yes you dumb bitch, one of those is being overseen by a medical professional with consent of the parent, the other is a wannabe dictator throwing a fit and trying to antagonize our closest allies.

Conservatives deserve to be slapped every time they crow about freedom while expecting to casually limit the freedoms of others.

Hey friend you get spam on the internet too maybe you need to go cancel your internet service?

No I get it there’s many benefits to being on the internet despite the spam, just like the USPS.

Like the fact that they are required to deliver to any address in the country, whereas FedEx, UPS, etc, will decide to just cut rural routes if they aren’t profitable. Hard for the elderly to get mail order medicines if they can’t get mail.

Hell you could even spend some time looking into the laws surrounding spam and use of the USPS to that end to understand why it’s that way, and that like most things in our nation it’s driven by lawmakers decisions not USPS policy someone just made up.

Spoiler alert, you don’t have a government that gives any shits about privacy because business wants it that way. Because buying and selling your data is the backbone of commerce today. It’s why it’s so important to be considerate of who you give your data to. Just like I wouldn’t recommend testing the waters in scientology, once they have your details they won’t leave your alone.

So if you want to bitch about the state of things put the blame where it belongs like so many of our problems, business and their owned legislators.

My favorite movie.

Funny seeing dipshits like this that think they can just hand wave the last 15 years of reality away just because Republicans refused to do anything about their Moscovian candidate. “See he was never held accountable” and “look how ignorant Republicans are” isn’t the flex you think it is.

I’ve never been able to successfully run Total War: Warhammer III on my Bazzite pc… until today.

Zero artifacts, runs with zero issues. Didn’t work on proton 11 prior to today.

This is awesome.

The propaganda riddled mind… “he’s only going for the criminals my brother isn’t a criminal why was he grabbed off the street like he was?!.. yes i voted for Donald Trump… who is the one doing this”…

And still unable to make the connection. He voted for racism. Trump told him he was going to do this. What did he think “MASS DEPORTATION NOW” meant when he saw those signs at his rallies? Sounds like he thought they were “the good ones”. Clearly he’s not familiar with conservative nuance.

He is having the day he voted for. Maybe now that he has touched the hot stove he can consider that the lies he has been hearing about other peoples of color might be more similar to his brothers situation than “they are all criminals except for my brother.” I won’t hold my breath though.

Even his comments here show an irredeemable nature as I’m sure his idea of “criminals” follows the same conservative “unless they are in my in group any person of color is likely a criminal” bullshit that they just love to apply to the world. Like a reverse benefit of the doubt.

He can’t wait to call ICE on others but is surprised others see him and his brother as criminals through the same criminal lens. I feel no pity for this man, and only pity for the brother if he didn’t support this shit. Otherwise he’s just enjoying the fruits of his political endeavors and I definitely prefer when those consequences also fall on those who are not victimless themselves.

Did you know wage theft is the single greatest body of theft in the US? Larger than all other categories of theft combined. Like they are stealing so much of workers money its bananas. Wild to think about but a good table setter for the topic from my experience imo.

Heaven forbid you have the gall to entertain multiple offers. Just like they have entertained multiple applicants. Sometimes you get staggered offers and one ends up being a better offer later in the game. Are you required to go explain yourself to the lesser offering? Nah. If it’s earned sure. Otherwise fuck that.

“Sorry I got something better.” Sounds easy but these guys seem like vindictive shits that I’d argue are untrustworthy narrators. Absolutely possible the hiree sent a note but backing out at the last minute that was seen as an absolute betrayal to their seemingly mid offer… This reeks of their thinking they had a big one on the hook for cheap and they are mad it got away.

“Nothing personal it’s just business.” Is the typical unlubed response to the worker. I fail to see how these thin skinned twats deserve any better, especially with their response here. I’d argue this business deserves the treatment hiring such liabilities in their HR department are clearly bringing them by not dealing with this behavior. Job security for the lawyers I guess.

I understand your point, we should all generally try to be good and respectful to each other. My point is with the imbalance of power in the hiring orocess, propensity for fake interviews we know businesses use, AI use in the interview process, and general lack of respect for the candidates in the pool are all reasons i think you are holding yourself to a standard they refuse. All of these are just the tip of the iceberg of shit in getting a job.

HR and hiring reps do not generally deserve the courtesy unless it’s been earned by being exemplary in demonstrated respect and such diring the process. Because for every instance of this, they’ve likely abused many more people doing similar things to them without blinking an eye. This is just manipulation.

A lot of fun and plays great on the deck. If you like games like stardew this will feel similar.

Kind of makes me want to start another run of it.

Whoops my comment above (or below wfk) was meant to be a reply to you. My bad!

Right? Democrats showed us exactly how they felt when 8 of their senate ranks swooped in on day 40 of a shutdown rightfully credited to Republicans that, after getting basically nothing for it, was blamed on Democrats for putting everyone through the pain and ruling over. Done with Dem leadership buyin, after finding 8 to oresent as turncoata who funny enough all arent up for reelection… The party of controlled opposition will never intentionally save us.

Two things can be true at once.

Republicans can be traitorous shitbags AND Democrats can consistently play spoiler and controlled opposition only showing their colors when they have to. It’s not every Democrat, but the wealthy and foreign interests like AIPAC buy Democrats just as well as Republicans. Why do you think Chuck Schumer keeps rambling on about how his main job is supporting Israel? While they are blatantly committing a genocide and attacking many of their neighbors as a belligerant state… nothing to see here… better pony up more cash to them… Main concern nothing else going on right now… You’d think in a national crisis as a leader of an opposition party that opposing the other party would be the main goal. Nope not a concern just need to make it look like they are opposing while making sure Israel keeps getting our tax dollars.

Haven’t you noticed every time there is a critical vote Democrats will act tough and then oh gosh look its the rogue dems again to help Republicans along… Like the budget battle a couple months ago where the exact number of 8 Democrats needed to give Republicans enough votes to push their treacherous “Big Beautiful Bill” though suddenly materialized… and then when pressed a few of them said oh yeah no biggie we worked with Chuck and had the blessing… only safe votes i.e. people not up for reelection any time soon. How convenient… Remember that vote gave ICE the budget to rival branches of the military? Would have been a good time to make a stand huh? Not to even mention the healthcare subsidies or the fact that that was 40 days into a shutdown and dems rolled over when they were in the right.

Now we’re getting ready for a Kamala 2028 run that absolutely nobody is asking for, because in my opinion, the party leadership are overall fine with Trumps actions and even happier Republicans are getting the heat for it so why would they want to take power? Their masters are the same masters as Republicans… Same logic to why they scuttled Bernies run to favor Hillary paving the way for Trumps first term. The wealthy do not want a progressive anywhere near the presidency and risk actual consequences to their actions or being able to treat our democracy as their personal feifdoms and destroying it for their personal gain.

We have two right wing parties in America. There really is no true left when it comes to viable political parties, and that’s by design. The ever revolving choices between a turd sandwich and a shit sandwich. It’s why the government no matter who is in charge does their damndest to prevent ranked choice voting. Would makes it a lot harder to ensure its turd vs shit sandwich and without it, ensures we the people never make meaningful gains, and pretty much nothing compared to the wealthy that own both parties.

So yeah don’t ignore reality that it’s an issue with both parties. Republicans are absolutely worse from a public perception and the impact of their actions, but Democratic leadership and a collective of Reps are moving in the shadows to help the Republican agenda from what I’ve seen. And beyond that don’t forget that both parties are captured by monied interests and are functionally the right and left hands for the ultra wealthy and foreign interests that bought them. Thanks Citizens United…

Dual-booting Win 11 and Bazzite while I figure out the flow for myself and whether I can shove off into the deep end without Win 11.

If you enjoy gaming or steam-related apps, Bazzite comes kitted out with most of what you’ll need to be successful out the gate.

Aside from EAC-based games, I’ve found a lot of my games just run better without the Win 11 bloat in the background.

Exploring Windows alternatives has never been easier in my opinion.

He is acting like he doesn’t bear responsibility for Trump being in office to put those plaques up in the first place.

This is less of a “look what that fool did” for Rogan and more of a “hey look what I did in helping make this shit stain your president.”

Don’t worry Joe we all know what you did.
