  • Still. The DNC has systems in place to decide who to back in elections to pass legislation. Their messaging since 2015 has been embarrassing. They keep courting moderate conservatives that don’t exist and ignoring unrepresented potential voters who do. They talk about how they win elections when there’s good turn out without ever analyzing which candidates encourage high turnout. Americans want to feel represented in politics and we don’t. The Democrats need to do something that would weaken the democrat party but would weaken the Republican party more: they need to actively begin dismantling the two party system. We want election reform. We want the police to not be a hostile force against the general populace. We want the society we live in to benefit everyone and not just the kinds of people who can afford to finance an election campaign.

    The polling exists. We all know that neither party represents or enacts what the people want do. The Democrats refuse to look around and see what’s happening, preferring to rearrange the deck chairs as the ship sinks because that’s the only thing they know to do. And you know? I can’t really blame them. We the people have also been rearranging the deck chairs. We live in a country that only benefits the top but we all still show up to do our duties without looking at what’s going on in other countries where the people are standing up to their authoritarian oppressors.

    The worst part is the fascists know what they’re doing. They know to decay the structure by raising the temperature because we’ve become too complacent. We need to stand up to fascism in a way that we haven’t ever since McArthyism.




  • I’m specifically talking about the us. Its the only EV market I really track because it’s the only one I’d be buying in.

    Want a Tesla 3? The Ford Mach-E is cheaper and has longer range, as is also the case for the KIA EV6 and Hyundai IONIQ 5 (all with better fit and finish than the Tesla).

    Interested in the Tesla Model Y? The Cadillac LYRIC gets a little less range, but its very comparable.

    The only one that actually is strong in its price category is the Model S and there I’d say the Mercedes Benz EQS SUV isn’t so far behind that I think you’d suffer from deep uncontrollable buyers remorse (not to mention quality control on a Merc is gonna be almost unmatched by ANY auto manufacturer)

    The model x, while cheaper than the Lucid Motors Air, is no longer the all out range king. Its also MORE expensive per mile of range so I’d call it a wash. Again. All I’m saying is other vehicles offed better value propositions than Tesla, not that every Tesla offering is a bad car. If you want an EV these days it doesn’t need to be a Tesla unless you really want it to be a Tesla.

    Finally. The cyber truck. What can I say about the cybertruck? A lot it turns out! Fuck that vehicle. What fucking coked out moron designed that thing and what do they think trucks are for? Rivian and Ford both already have vehicles out that beat Tesla to be first to market and both have actual beds designed for actual truck stuff. The cyber truck is just a rich person toy for people who want to have a truck because trucks make them feel big and powerful but have never looked into what a truck is









  • I was literally compiling this library a few nights ago and didn’t catch shit. We caught this one but I’m sure there’s a bunch of “bugs” we’ve squashes over the years long after they were introduced that were working just as intended like this one.

    The real scary thing to me is the notion this was state sponsored and how many things like this might be hanging out in proprietary software for years on end.



  • But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”

    Luke 14:13-14

    Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him.

    Luke 10:30-37

    Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.

    Matthew 6:19-20

    But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth

    John 3:17-18

    I would argue NOTHING is more central to Christianity than helping the homeless. And that’s before we start getting into comparative religion and finding that almost every religion emphasizes enlightenment coming from giving compassion to those that have nothing





  • If you have to ask it probably means the answer is one of the following:

    • Mint
    • Ubuntu
    • Pop!_os

    In that order. Mint will be most likely the answer if your hardware is pretty normal. Ubuntu will be the answer if you’re willing to give up some security and privacy for east of use (pro-tip: if this is your mentality I’d recommend a different OS and dual booting while you learn). Pop!_os will be the answer if you don’t need super up to date software and want all your hardware to work because you have something odd

    Personally I would strongly advise towards Mint. I used to direct people away from it but I’ve learned this was a bias I had against them for mishandling a security thing a long time ago that they’ve since become leaders in the security space for general use Linux operating systems.
