Fuck how much are you spending on thera.py?

I think advocacy groups and other entities that were trying to make changes at a national or state level need to reevaluate their efforts. This election signals to me that the American people do not want these positive changes. They do not want to be civilized.

I think those advocacy groups should make a Pivot to Aid and focus their efforts on supporting the people that deserve it and want it, instead of trying to lift up a majority of people who do not want to be lifted up.

I'm probably a bit younger than you, but that election was the first one in which I was politically aware. It activated me and I've been fighting ever since, but I think I'm done now. My efforts will be spent locally, and will be conditional.

This post does a good job of articulating how I've been feeling. I think last night made it very clear what the character of our country really is. Unsalvageable garbage, unworthy of our efforts to improve it.

Lost little Lemming...

For less money than some gaudy gaming wireless router that you end up replacing every 3 years, you can grab a Mini PC with two NICs, a wireless access point, and install OpnSense.

Your life will be irrevocably changed for the better.

This is some real life Severance shit.

Wendy's arbitrage was not on my Bingo card.

On the plus side, Mr. Mime will be able to spend more time with Ash's mom.

I imagine Republicans are doing this not only in the name of the Culture War, but to cultivate an under educated class of manipulable labor (possibly with indentured servitude as the end goal). They know that current and future students will have a harder time leaving for greener pastures due to not being competitive potential hires.

Most of the companies I've worked for have a diverse workforce. As Globalization continues, this will be true for more and more companies. Why would such a company hire someone who doesn't know how to interact with non-white non-cis-male team members because they think their entire existence is taboo? It is a skills-gap issue at the end of the day.

Anyway, that's my civil take on the matter...

This post really shows how old I am, because I immediately thought "does anyone actually compose on a mobile device?" The experience is so bad I limit my own mobile compositions to message responses like "k" and "lol".

I wrote this comment on my phone and it was an awful experience 🙃. But hey, at least my keyboard app suggested a silly emoji...

I'll continue to do my "real" writing on my desktop for now. Integration apps like KDEConnect have been enough for me to get by, but they aren't perfect either.

$1000 for a device with an N5100 CPU seems... mispriced.
