Does the modern nomad need to exist in the first place? Taking your money into an RV so you can guzzle gas on it, and just stream videos while you pretend to enjoy nature?

You certainly act like a Musk fan.

This thing helps my fun but hurts lot of other people’s fun, fuck em! Who cares about Kessler syndrome and pollution, I gotta game!!

I also live in a rural RV. I’ve been stuck in one and using copper wiring since 2004. I don’t have the money for Starlink, never have, never will. The upfront cost is insane. I also game on copper wires. Solo and multiplayer games, with my friends over discord.

Since when?

“They’re working on a ceasefire!!!”

The two short stories that have really stuck with me are the Ray Bradbury one about the automated home and the Edgar Alan Poe one about the beating heart

“The Veldt” and “The Tell-Tale Heart”? Those two stick with me due to two good readings of it.

The Veldt read by Leonard Nimoy and Tell-Tale Heart acted out by Vincent Price Part 1 and Part 2.

Get fucked, Donald.

+100 points each for hitting them, Deathrace 2000 style.

Yes.

Depends if the lobbyists want it legal.

Always has been.

I thought we hated it because they were all ugly monotonous blocks with often pretty bad apartment layouts, often used to import a bunch of Russian workers to an existing city to slowly replace the local culture. But maybe that’s just me.

Certainly not anywhere else, with replacing local workers and their culture with bland carbon copy lookalikes…

At least it was a effient use of space, building up than sideways.

Meanwhile I can just use the same shortcuts every other program made in the last 40 years uses. Ctrl+Q to quit, Ctrl+S to save, Ctrl+Z for undo. If I wanted to consult a cheatsheet to relearn keyboard shortcuts, I’ll use vim and emacs.

Nano isn’t even that simple. Ctrl+X to quit? I guess if you use phonetic sounds to figure out how to exit a program. At least Vim uses the idea of “use what the words start with.”

I personally use micro in the terminal, and Kate if I want a GUI to write. Vim and Emacs are fine for those who want it, I have no stakes in the editor wars beyond “I just want my program to do what I want, and I want it to be simple to learn.”

And now we’re voting between “Literal fascist who hired cops to harm minorities” and “literal cop who harmed minorities”. And before that was “Literal fascist who hired cops to harm minorities” and “Wrote the bills to enable cops to harm minorities and protected rape victims.”

Governments don’t protect you, me, or anyone, they never give you the freedoms, only take them. Keep your wits, stay safe, and drink water.

Enforcement of your own rights is protected by yourself. The government doesn’t enforce the right to free speech, it can’t force you to say something. The government doesn’t enforce the right to a warrant, the government is the one who makes cops enter your place without one.

The government also doesn’t enforce gun ownership to anyone but the military and the militarized police. There is no “Government supplied and required to own and use firearm”.

Governments rarely give you freedoms you never had before they came into power, they just remove the limits they enforced onto us. And they never do it willingly.

Democrat in office: I think it would be okay to have a member of the KKK and Q-Anon cult in my party.

Republican in office: Fuck the woke commie libs, fascists all the time.

Hey can we get an appointed member who’s not going to betray Harris and try to just privatize every thing in the cabinet they control? No? Corporate donors said otherwise? Oh well, maybe 2032.

• DNC invites Republicans to the convention, because somehow former fascists voting is a good look
• Harris talks about inviting Republican officials to her cabinet, because she agrees with literal Republican supporters in 2024

If Harris doesn’t appoint them, that’s good. If she tries to play to the genocidal fascists by adding them to her trusted team of officials, she’s more willing to work with them than the people they will hurt. Personally, I’d never work with the Neo-Nazi Party.

Is Harris a Republican? Nope. Is she willing to work with them? Yes, and any amount of leeway to the “Let’s bring Trump back to Office” Party is too much.

A rare Aging Wheels enjoyer in the wild! That dude has single-handedly gotten me more interested in automobile history and just how cars do things in general.

Oligarchs are only for the rich outside of the Thirteen Eyes. American oligarchs are called lobbyists and job creators.

I personally have a Yubikey and OTP for mine. Maybe they don’t for your country?

That said, fuck PayPal.
