This is my friend. Had a Steam Deck and couldn’t figure out Steam OS so they installed Windows on it instead. He’s very tech literate but somehow can’t grasp Linux. On the other hand, I’ve transitioned fine to Linux Mint.

Damn. Human trafficking on a grand scale out in the open. Good luck to all Americans. Fight the good fight.
El Salvador will only take in men though, right? If that’s the case, what’ll happen to the women and children?
And where, pray tell, would he deport US citizens to?
Fear & Hunger 1 & 2 for me among others. Stellar Blade not on sale though… I get it but… It’s so expensive…
Look, I have a cousin in Texas who voted Republican last election. She’s very smart; works as a psychiatrist for neurodivergent children. Her reasoning for voting that way was because they ‘reflect and represent’ her values: low taxes and small government. She says she doesn’t like Trump but voting Republican doesn’t mean that she’s voting for Trump, she’s voting for her party.
I’ve spoken to her at length because I wanted to understand where this thought process comes from and my conclusion was that it’s total cognitive dissonance, and that’s a choice she’s made. I know she’s smart and rational but when it comes to politics, it seems to me that most Americans just don’t care or justify their ignorance with mental gymnastics.
If you can’t blame them, that’s fine, you do you. However, for me, shame on those who voted Trump in a second time. Shame, shame, shame.
But people don’t exist in a vacuum. You’re part of a community that’s still functioning.
You say as if everyone is straight jacket bound, hands and feet wrapped tightly, eyes blindfolded and mouth plugged. Born that way, in fact. If that were actually the case, you’d all be dead and your country would cease to exist.
You forget to think how this all starts. Everyone is born with free will. You end up in the deep end because of the first few steps you take, and you always have a choice to either stay or change yourself or others. Some choices are easier than others and I’m saying that Trump got in because people chose to be selfish or greedy or ignorant.
My understanding is that for the US to go to war, it needs to be passed in Congress. Trump bombing Iran last week was not passed through Congress and is an act that can get him impeached, is also my understanding.
As for the previous events, my assumption was that it was passed by Congress. But if not, then… That’s a failure of your own system and I can’t really say anything other than that.
Huh?! But it’s clear grounds for impeachment! I hope everyone starts flooding their inboxes and phone lines…
But that’s my point regarding healthcare. You guys just accept the status quo and this is where it has gotten you. It was never always like this in America; it’s just that the noose has slowly been tightening around your necks and you just… Let it be.
It’s always a choice. You can stand there with your mouths agape and be fed with hook, line and sinker. Or you can choose to seek out the information, have conversations, choose to listen and process, choose to be open minded…
Just like choosing to bury your head in the sand is also a choice. A Florida rep recently chose to ignore evidence and reality and blame the opposition for almost dying after having an abortion. She can also afford mental healthcare but obviously chooses not to.
Avoidance is still a choice. Remaining apathetic is a choice. Remaining ignorant is a choice. Voting for a felon, for a second time, is a choice.
… Yes it is.
And this.
Gullibility is a failure of social intelligence in which a person is easily tricked or manipulated into an ill-advised course of action
Don’t forget that most of American media outlets aren’t very conservative, compared to places like Australia and China, for example, where a majority if not all the media is owned and operated by a single entity.
Australia managed to shirk the rise of Dutton and the Liberal party, which is GOP-wannabe-lite, and we kicked them to the curb even though almost all of our media did a massive scaremongering campaign and was constantly doing puff pieces and character assassinations.
So, I’m saying that you all do have a choice and, additionally, you all desperately need access to proper mental healthcare because only truly sick and gullible people could vote for Trump again.
As an outsider, I don’t blame the people who voted for him the first time but the second time? Nope. People had a choice to be less gullible because there was evidence that he is not fit to lead: felony charges, nepotism, incompetence, derangement etc.
It’s cognitive dissonance from the top down.
This almost reads like teenage high school drama. Queen Bee giving silent treatment after subpar birthday bash.
I actually saw a shop that developed film the other day in my local area. Genuinely surprised and delighted me. Got a brief trip through time and space to nostalgia land where I was constantly being told off for taking photos of landscape.
That’s why you need public funding to support and nourish the industry. We’ve got that in our state where we can get grants to start up studios. This allowed for studios such as Massive Monster to be created.
VC funding isn’t great because they can pull out if the project or investment doesn’t suit them. See League of Geeks.
I’m a few months into Linux Mint on my gaming PC and love it; 99% of my games work. The only one that doesn’t so far is FiveM but that’s because the devs appear to be very anti-linux unless you’re hosting a server.
Yeah but my W10 shoved a giant full screen ad telling me to get rid of my PC and get a new one with W11 twice. Support might be ending but if it constantly nags you to upgrade, that’s just BS.
Do you not get mental health days?

Did we? My scientific search the other night proves that false, and I’m not on VPN.
How do young people meet new people these days? I met my husband while at work. Became official via Facebook status.
