Hey Joe maybe try to look less fucking stoked for the destruction of democracy that you fucking helped usher in? Honestly, he looks like a fucking wax model. About as useful, too.

Point of order: it’s less that Trump won than Harris lost. Specifically: trumps numbers barely edged up from 4 years ago. Harris support, compared to 4 years ago, PLUMMETED.

Maybe the DNC needs to find a ladder so they can climb down out of their own asses and actually fucking listen to the middle and lower class. They lost this because they took the base for granted and the base was very fucking fed up. That, imo, is the biggest root cause: inept and out-of-touch politicians, as usual for the Democratic Party. World fucking champions at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

A firearm is very much a tool in some non-combat applications. Ranching, for instance.

lol nice, another fellow user of the term “meatspace”. I find the term quite self explanatory, but I often have to explain it to people when I allow it into my vernacular.

Why are you on Facebook in the first place?

What a fucking tool.

Good job, Biden. You care so much about your legacy? Guess what: your legacy is now “one of the hubristic egotistical dipshits that made so many unforced errors that you basically opened the fucking door for the fascists to take over”. You’ll be remembered alongside the likes of Neville Chamberlain and Paul von Hindenburg. You absolute fucking chode. You lost the fucking republic.

They probably did tbh

Chief among the drawbacks of life in Nimes, McIsaac-Kierklo says, is that she can’t often get good produce to cook with — she notes limp celery for sale at the local grocery story. And, she says, the wonders of French cuisine haven’t really won her over.

“People go, ‘Oh my god, the French food is so fabulous.’ Yeah, if you want to eat brie, pâté, pastries and French bread all day long,” she tells CNN. “But who eats like that?”

Also: the couple has struggled to make friends, McIsaac-Kierklo has not yet mastered the language (or learned much of it), and the bureaucracies behind the healthcare system and banking system, and getting a long-stay visa, have been nightmarish.

…who the fuck are these people? How do you not like French food? How are they NOT finding excellent produce? It’s fucking EVERYWHERE in France, and miles better on average than what we get in the states. And not bothering to even learn French, and then being annoyed that it’s hard to make friends is just… what…?

In a lot of red states these days, the reason is “the election officials and Secretary of State (for the state in question) have made it extremely difficult - and in some cases impossible - for me to vote”.

I’m not saying the points you’re raising are irrelevant, but honestly, just look at Texas. It SHOULD be purple/swing, the legislature there has enacted swaths of anti-democratic (small “d”) measures with the expressly partisan intent of making it effectively impossible for any party other than the GOP to win anything meaningful in the state.

Is this one of the areas where corps are buying up a shitload of real estate?

My concern at this point is that a lot of electoral positions in swing states - e.g. Georgia - appear to have been co-opted by overtly partisan Trumpians. And I’m not convinced they’ll abide by the court injunctions of “that’s not your fucking job, just do your job and nothing else”, because Trump would almost certainly pardon all the people pulling electoral fuckery like that if he figures out how to weasel his way into office. That is, in fact, a core element of their plan, and why all the fuckery appears to be kinda proceeding in lockstep. This is also why a lot of them are so die hard for Trump - they are fully cognizant of their guilt, and know that the DoJ is going to take a long, hard look at them if Harris wins, and very likely hang together, as it were.

Tbh those things are great little thin clients to leave near your couch, despite their age

DAS enclosures are super easy to set up. Disk won’t be a big issue if you go that route.

If you’re planning on running containers, tbh I would not. The required virtualization layer (due to macOS being BSD-based) is going to make containers WAY less efficient. You’re better off with a system you can easily slap proxmox (or whatever distro floats your boat) on.

In MA, when I worked the polls in 2020, they had a cop on duty in the polling location the whole day to deal with any yahoos like that. To be clear, that’s ALL they’re there for - they’re otherwise completely uninvolved with the administering of the election, and the operation of the polling location. Iirc the guy was just reading a book most of the time. I admit I’m somewhat surprised more jurisdictions don’t have some sort of policy like that. At the same time, I’m sure it would be abused by police forces in some parts of the country.

It genuinely gives the Pontiac Aztec a run for its money in terms of “holy fuck that is ugly”

I just want to pick one and stick with it. Like, holy fuck, the switching is awful.

Codeberg is pretty legit
