My beater is getting picked up Tuesday. I’m donating it as it’s more expensive to replace the cat than its worth.

Slate looks interesting

Didn’t cost him a dime.

Have you read the Mueller report? Did you listen to the impeachment testimony? It’s clear there were connections and impropriety, there were multiple people around Trump who were convicted with plenty of evidence. Paul Manafort is one seriously slimey piece of shit.

This revisionist bullshit is some truly Orwellian nightmare fuel.

My boss used to use zoom but when he scheduled a zoom meeting office would put a teams link in too. When it was time for the meeting everyone would just click join in the office reminder and jump on the teams call. Every time. Eventually he gave up and started using teams.

I do have to say I like having my team on there and being able to contact or be contacted by contractors outside the company easily. Zoom had more audio issues in my experience as well. Teams often selects the wrong audio output but I just know to switch and it works whereas zoom breaks audio half the time for me.

I feel old when I think of all the steps we had to take to start the most basic game. Rewind tape. Hit reset on the counter. Find index of program you want and fast forward to that position. Enter load command. Play on tape. Wait. By the time it was loaded and we started recess was over.

We had an Apple II gs at home and used PET computers in school. I remember loading Artillery into the computer from a cassette.

He is still going to back down. Cowards always cower. Keep calling him out or you risk normalizing his bullshit.

He is a bully and we have to FIGHT BACK. Hit him where it hurts.

Musk is the upper class being hurt by the Tesla hate.

The upper class. The rest of us are just plebs.

I sincerely hope all this organizing you are clearing doing is going to help. I will pitch in as I can, truly. You can insult me as much as you want, and if you are successful, I will be the first to admit I was wrong. However, from where I am standing we are much more worse off. Maybe that is what you want. It is clear to me, that a lot more people are going to die and even more are going to suffer.

I’m not on any high horse. I’m down here covered in filth. I am not proud to have voted for Kamala, but I’m frustrated that she lost. I’d much rather be getting lectured at that she isn’t doing enough, and no one be talking about USAID, and trans people, women, etc all fearing for their future.

Life is complicated. We have to tell ourselves stories to get through it. I viewed voting like a trolly problem. I chose Kamala because I viewed it as the least harm I could do in that situation. You did what I view as refusing to pull the lever. Both situations result in harm. I am not ok with that harm either way, and I recognize my culpability. Do you recognize yours?

There is a guy in power right now giving Nazi salutes, stripping lifesaving aid from tens of millions of people, advocating for ethnic cleansing, and a whole lot more. I voted against that and I’m the Nazi? Fuck you.

I am not pretending Democrats weren’t peices of shit. I have no delusions about that. I am operating under the reality that Americans, the people in Gaza, and most of the world, is in a much worse situation right now because you decided to take a moral stand against the person more likely to help, to be influenced by protests.

Are you protesting what is happening right now? I know a lot of vulnerable people can’t.

They voted their conscience? So they wanted ethnic cleansing? That is what they voted for. There was never any doubt what Trump stood for, what he was going to do.

Can you honestly blame people for being frustrated that’s this super hardline approach is what we got when people claimed to want something else then voted against their interests?

Same with supporting the working class. With wanting to end corruption. All these things people claimed they cared about then turned around and voted in Trump. It’s maddening.

Go shove your blue maga bullshit. It is absolutely ridiculous.

Bumbling around in the dark killing creatures due to incompetence.

Sure glad we didn’t elect Kamala.

Go to the wedding. That is a really big deal. After that don’t engage with him on politics. Maybe don’t engage at all. Show up for birthdays and maybe a holiday or two. Do the ‘quiet quitting’ of family interaction. You aren’t going to change their mind. I’ve been trying for 20+ years and it’s just gotten worse.

Capping rent makes more housing less likely. Are you suggesting government built housing?

Not allowing one or two private equity firms to own a lions share of the market would help.
