No, $70 is just for a three hour block. Stop being poor.

Windows is unfortunately still better for gaming. Full stop. I still use both in different settings. Fuck Apple though.

One of my earliest experiences with the Internet was seeing a picture of a country girl in cowboy boots with a carrot up her ass and an ear of corn stretching her pussy. It was 1991. I also played bridge with people in Asia in the middle of the night.

Are you young and have no assets? Because managing risk is an adult thing to do. I used to pirate, but decided the risks outweigh the rewards for me at this time. I might again someday, but not today.

I have Netflix, Prime & Hulu. I’m ready to drop all 3 but my wife enjoys some of their trash. I’m tolerating it, for now.

Same. It’s been at least 35 years since I drank a glass of cow juice.

always has been

The article looked at five years, and even their numbers show most of the job growth going to non-native born citizens. If you look only at 2024, barely any jobs we’re created and all of them went to non native born, native citizens actually lost a few jobs last year.

That isn’t really a problem on it’s own, but it has allowed large corporations to avoid increasing wages, even while everyone is experiencing tough inflation. We need strong living wage legislation and then the foreign born workers will no longer be contributing to wage suppression here.

As an anti-aurhoritarian I’ve been of the opinion that that we’ve been an authoritarian hell hole for pretty much all of my life. Yes Trump is a fascist but the government is also heavy-handed when Democrats are in power. If you’re encouraged that almost half of the votes went to authoritarian Harris, I’d say you shouldn’t be. She wasn’t a leftist, honestly I think of her as a little bit fascist too, just less ironically puritan.

First amendment protections for speech expressing our grievances against our government are very well established. I think even this Supreme court will agree. We’ll see, but this is basic free speech. There are people who are against free speech or waver depending on the kind of speech. I’m all for free speech, even what some would call hate speech. I’m an advocate, and I know the law and precedents. I don’t think this has any legs.

I’ve been moving over a few machines but some software isn’t easy to just switch. I have at least a dozen more to move, and a few machines I’m going to keep on Windows for now.

I’m daily feeding a 15yo boy, two 17yo girls, a 20yo girl, a cat, and my wife and I. I thought my monthly food spending was too high 20 years ago when we were just expecting our first kid, we ate out a little more than we needed to. I’m spending triple that now, almost never eating out, and I make less than I did 20 years ago too. It’s completely unsustainable.

They use that word in “family friendly” automotive related YouTube channels all the time without getting dinged for demonitization or bans etc. Maybe their moderators have learned context?

Yeah I eat quite a few plant-based meals but I’m glad they’re vegetarians who are okay with dairy and eggs and not fully vegan. I don’t know if I could afford two vegans in the house on top of the other four of us. Food costs are crazy right now. I think having hand raised backyard chickens who love to be held and love to give their eggs, that made the difference. Not all poultry farming or milk production is traumatic. If I could get a little more land I’d think about a few milk cows so I could make my own cheese.

My problem is we have three teenagers of our own plus an extra one who lives with us 60% of the time. Two of them are vegetarian but eat eggs for protein. The rest of us just like eggs. We go through about 3-4 dozen a week.

Men are killed more often. But men generally have less fear. We go boldly unto death.

It doesn’t have to be a gun show, can be anywhere. I’ve legally purchased a handful of guns in random parking lots.

Biden never had the power. But Obama did. He squandered it imo but you’re welcome to disagree.

Unfortunately there’s almost nothing left once you’ve blocked all that. I’m close to leaving. No one will miss me, whatever. Occasionally I have a nice interaction though.
