Momentum is building. There has to be a critical mass for a movement like we are talking about to be effective.

Honestly it’s hard to even get in the mood. Everything related to the 4th this year feels like satire.

It’s an invasion of people’s privacy when they feel most vulnerable. It’s no mystery why folk find it upsetting.

For Karl!

The are encouraging you and all other non-Americans to not fall asleep at the wheel like we have. The system that allowed this shit show to develop has been building for decades and we allowed it to happen.

Do not allow it to happen where you live, because the oligarchy is coming for you too.

I have been doing everything reasonably possible to prevent and unfuck my local situation in Texas, but the state as a whole is absolutely screwed. I would argue that a very large minority is aggressively uninformed politically, and has no desire to educate themselves. They want to be sucked into the gravity well of their bigotry and hate and Christian window-dressing. It’s disgusting and depressing and you would not believe the amount of people that I respected before all of this mess that I want nothing to do with anymore because of the ideologies they are willing to espouse. I barely interact with any of my family any more because most of them wanted this situation and still won’t openly admit that they did this.

I feel completely powerless and like my only option is to run as far away from the place I have called home for my entire life.

1. Someday soon, America will burn.

I think about this almost daily. I have young kids and I’m terrified of the world they are growing into.

I’m confused. Are you arguing that AOC is or isn’t for the people?

There’s one of the problems. I don’t need enough food for a family of four. I need you to give me an appropriate amount of food for one human being for $6.

If you have calm discussions and listen, you will absolutely 100% see that most people are actually quite alright. Even if they dont like trans people, they will eventuelly get there, by having discussions and chats and seeing them in the real world.

Respectfully, you have no idea what you’re talking about. I live in Texas and I am surrounded by the conservative mindset. There is a chittering madness about these people that causes them to frenzy any time something triggers them as being “woke” or “trans” or in any way challenging to their narrow world-view. They cannot be reasoned with, I have tried far too long with no effect. Their beliefs are couched in white christonationalism and the stupid masses having their stupid beliefs vindicated by bad actors in positions of power.

These people do not feel that anyone unlike them has the right to live the way they want. They WANT to strip trans people of their rights. Pleading for empathy has fallen on empty ears and the ONLY thing that is providing any clarity to these morons is when they themselves are hurt by the stupidity they have summoned. The only time I have heard anyone from the conservative side second guess their vote is when it started to impact them personally. Not when billionaires were immediately given tax cuts, not when children were forcibly taken from their parents, not when first amendment rights violations are being codified into law, not when people have literally been vanished off the streets. None of it matters to them.

Chris Hayes spends a good deal of time on this subject in his book The Siren’s Call which I can’t recommend enough.

The majority of Republicans are fucking morons that have no idea what is going on in the world and have no desire to so long as they have identified which group they are supposed to hate.

I guess we’re just going to bitch about the foundational checks and balances of our governmental system now. I’m so sick of this clown parade.

Xodo and Xchange are both feature rich, lightweight, and easy to use programs. Browser view is fine for a peek but quickly feels clunky.

It’s neither. They have announced two game prices so far. One was $80 the other was $70. I’m of the opinion that they are going to start implementing a kind of tiered pricing, but that’s just a shot in the dark.

Fuuuuuccckkk

It feels more and more like it’s time to get the guillotines ready.
