Well yeah. Remember the Jan 6 shit. That was genuinely scary. They can do much worse than bomb threats. America is fucked and I don’t know how you fix this.

Oh yeah, I’d forgotten about how Trudeau turned that shit around on trump. Class.
Also, now he’s looking less and less like the winner he pretended to be, they’re caught up in the sunk cost fallacy.
I don’t think he has crushes, I think he has things he wants - and for him some of those ‘things’ are women. At least he didn’t try to grab her by the pussy. He’s such a malignant little fuck.
Yeah the handshake thing was a power move. I feel like I saw a tiny hesitation before she stepped up to him, probably because you are right about him, she’s a smart woman and has to find him repulsive. But yeah, that handshake put him on the defensive right from the start. And when he started on about people eating cats she seemed honestly amused, which was far more effective than any rebuttal.
Yeah. The change was necessary. I’m not sure the Dems had a real chance with Biden. Even with Harris the polls look like a toss up. Harris seems like a huge improvement over Biden but trump still has his legions of idiot voters. And I gotta say, huge respect for Biden for seeing the way the winds of change were blowing and deciding to step back for the sake of the country. Can you imagine trump having that sort of humility and patriotism? Trump couldn’t even spell humility.
So we have a choice between a president with magic powers or a president who gibbers nonsense while wearing a diaper filled with yellow hamburder shit. Not a hard decision to make, really.
Yeah. People need protection from big companies and the wealthy, which are constantly seeking to manipulate. It’s a fuckin shame, though, I was one of those people who was really optimistic about the internet when it first started becoming a thing. But money creeps in everywhere and its agenda is never altruistic.
Yeah, fair point. My first computer was a Tandy TRS80, followed by a ZX81. You pretty much had to learn BASIC to get them to do anything at all.
TIL, way too late! Cheers mate
Damn. Lol I kept that turbo button down all the time, thinking turbo = faster. TBF to myself it’s a reasonable mistake! Mind you, I think a lot of what slowed that machine was the hard drive. Faster than loading stuff from a cassette tape but only barely. You could switch the computer on and go make a sandwich while windows 3.1 loads.
Yeah, TBF
"And millions of people ended up dead there.”
is pretty disingenuous too. They ended up dead because they were systematically murdered. Plus they mostly weren’t prisoners of war, it was a targeted genocide.
I could be misremembering but I seem to recall the digits on the front of my 486 case changing from 25 to 33 when I pressed the button. That was the only difference I noticed though. Was the beige bastard lying to me?
Hell, I chipped in for reddit gold. I’m not well off, I just used the platform loads and didn’t mind paying a little for something I enjoyed. Like so many others, my goodwill was pissed on, though, and I am just another paying customer that they lost. The API thing was the final nail in the coffin for me.
Most restaurants don’t have those rules until someone does it, then the rule is put in place.
Maybe trump is beginning to think he might not win the presidency so he’s got to grift as much as possible while he can.
Yeah well my steam deck will survive 2025 unless I break it. It’s a proper nifty little machine, so glad I bought it. I’ve not done any gaming since i had a PS2 so there’s loads of games to catch up on. Recently finished bioshock, wow. I’ve got a long list of older games, but I’ve tried a couple of newer things. It plays doom 2016 just fine, same with deathloop and beam ng drive
