Rien ne va plus.

He hates being at the White House, with all the rules and procedures that have to be followed there. He’d much prefer to engage in open corruption without all that red tape.

Fair enough.

Germany should immediately seize all of Tesla’s accounts there and pay the workers on sick leave out of those funds.

Nah, DOGE is going to discover that The Atlantic is at fault for this somehow, and have all its management arrested.

We live in the stupidest timeline.

Excellent breakdown. Well done!

And on top of all that, the article is specifically about Microsoft urging people to get rid of old hardware, which I take to mean NOT current-gen, bleeding-edge gaming hardware. So my suggestion was about not being forced to upgrade your hardware to keep having a usable computer.

It actually started the day after the election. People are actively searching for ways to escape this shit-hole country.

I know I am.

Translation: “Install Linux.”

The answer is always going to be, “Because you’re running the incredibly bloated Windows operating system.”

Is… is that real? Is this really the world I live in?

It’s a very big “if,” though. Europe has a lot of work to do.

But with the United States falling to fascism and despotism, there’s no one else to step up. And I doubt Europe has any illusions about the size of the threat Russia poses, so they have every incentive to halt Russia’s expansionist goals there in Ukraine.

Putin once said Russia’s borders don’t end anywhere, a very telling sentiment: He doesn’t believe anything but Russia should get to exist. A country that doesn’t respect its own borders is a threat to all of its neighbors.

And because of its expansionist goals, its neighbors are the entire world.

So… Europe is going to massively step up support for Ukraine. It’s possible that unlike the United States, Europe will have no reservations about giving Ukraine everything it needs to not only hold Russia back, but to outright win.

An unambiguous win for Ukraine would almost certainly culminate in the death of Vladimir Putin and a full, systemic collapse in Russia. At this point, Russia is all in on destroying and taking over Ukraine, and if it can’t, it’s basically got nothing else to fall back on.

That’s the thing I’ve been most worried about. The media have largely capitulated out of (justifiable) fear of reprisal and violence. The fear is legit, but we depend on the media to speak truth to power especially when democracy is on the line.

This is why I no longer believe this will end without violence.

Twice. They did it twice.

Well sure. Trump literally does not care about the truth value of any word-like sounds that squirt from his facial sphincter. The algorithm running through his toupee support system works like this:

1. Is it something the idiots who support me will buy, at least long enough for me to come up with the next distraction? (Y/N)
2. If Y, say it. Say it a lot. Say it everywhere and anywhere.
3. If N, accuse everyone else of saying it.

That’s it. Whether it has any relationship to the truth, good or bad, never enters into it. He’s not even as honest as a liar, because a liar has to at least care what the truth is. He truly, genuinely doesn’t.

Literally have the opposite experience. Fought with my old Brother printer constantly. My Epson Ecotank is rock-solid.

Why is this weirdo so obsessed with the letter X?

I’m shocked! Shocked! Well, not that shocked.

The stupid fucking idiots in the maga party will blame Biden.

You inspired me. I added a few more entries.
