Boo fucking hoo. Stop voting for policies that directly hurt you and yours just to spite perceived threats, and then maybe I'll give a shit about your woes.

-- an "enemy from within"

To eat the flies.

Blackout curtains have been essential for me. Instead of earplugs, I prefer a noisy fan. Circulating the air is good and the constant white noise normalizes hearing stuff, so neighbors or traffic or whatever isn't different enough to wake me.

My wife has a Bluetooth sleep mask, so she can play soothing stuff from headspace or YouTube or Spotify while keeping light out of her eyes. You can find it pretty cheap.

As we enter dry winter months, a small humidifier in the bedroom might also be a good idea.

It also helps to have a routine on how you wind down for bed so that your body and mind can ease into being ready to sleep even if the clock or the sun are telling you otherwise. Maybe do some light reading, wash your face, set out something for the next day (like your outfit), whatever you need and can repeat nightly.

It's almost like there should be a law against somebody like him running for office. Oh wait, there already is, and it's been on the books for 150 years to keep Confederate traitors from holding office. 14th amendment, section 3.

It's fucking insane that he's even on ballots after what he did.

"just following orders" all over again.

There's only one thing trump has yet to steal from Hitler, and it's killing the leader of the fascist movement.

Here's to hoping 🍻

I can forgive people for changing their minds once they've learned and experienced more. However, at this point, I don't think that there is actually any excuse for not learning or experiencing enough to not know who or what they're supporting. MAGA should be carved into their foreheads à la Inglourious Basterds. Make them advertise forever that they were dumb enough and hateful enough to fall for helping the most obvious con man imaginable to become a fascist dictator. At least the oligarchs have legitimate reasons to believe that they could benefit from him having power through cutting regulations and taxes for them. What the fuck do the millions of peasants in shacks in flyover states have excusing their donations and votes?

Same, but for some reason my wife doesn't like the look of high refresh rate in games for the exact reason I don't like low refresh. I played Jedi Survivor on PS5 for a little bit and felt uneasy until I found a setting to switch it from quality to performance. I was getting very mild headache and nausea symptoms until switching that, especially when spinning the camera around quickly. Running it in higher framerate also made timing in gameplay much easier. The only drawback was that cutscenes broke immersion because they were still locked at 30fps.

I really wish that game devs would prioritize achieving 60fps above 4k resolution. This question is even assuming that 60fps is the lowest acceptable option, yet it's still not a given even at 2k yet. EA released a game in 2023 that runs in 30fps by default. I enjoyed the game overall, but it ran like dog shit, crashed multiple times, and felt a little short/barren to me. I could excuse all of that if it were a smaller company or the first year of the console's life, but neither of those were the case in any way.

Anyway, yeah 60fps should be the bare minimum, but it still sometimes isn't, and it literally makes me sick.

No, the goal in 2021 was to delay/stop the certification and keep trump in power. This time, I'm sure the Nazi propaganda framing would be to stop Kamala Harris (sitting VP and therefore president of the Senate) from "awarding herself the presidency." But since there will definitely be appropriate security this time, the cowardly Nazis will stay home and masturbate to deepfake porn of Democrats, activists, and controversial celebrities instead.

It's like 1488 hours until January 6th

It's really fucking bizarre that it actually is the Nazi-est number hours imaginable between the election and final certification of the election. I legit thought you were just doing some Nazi dog whistle virtue signaling until I did the math to find that 1488 hours is 62 days, and we are in fact 62 days from January 6. 🤯

Welp, better late than never.

I would love to be proven wrong, but I'm not sure there's anything in our wildest dreams that could snap anybody in his base out of their trance at this point. What line is there that he hasn't already crossed?

Too clever for such a stupid man to come up with. Your throwaway joke while taking a shit is beyond his capabilities.

Maybe it's a generational divide or something, but I would lose my fucking mind if my partner for life were braindead enough to support trump. Maybe Clinton v Dole was just a more reasonable thing to disagree with your spouse about (idk, I wasn't there, and I don't care enough to look into it, don't @ me), but a disagreement in 2024 fundamentally is about democracy v fascism, helping people v hurting people, and decency v shameless petulance. A politically split household in 2024 is not a team or a partnership in any meaningful way. Just fucking get a divorce already because you've clearly married the wrong person! There's absolutely no fucking way I could cohabitate with, let alone share a bed with somebody who wants women, children, immigrants, minorities, LGBTQ+ people, and poor people to be punished in every aspect of life for not being financially comfortable, straight, white, cis men. Truly incomprehensible. "But taxes! But gas prices!" No. Just no. You're clearly not actually paying attention if you think that literally anything would be better for you under trump. There would be short term gains at the expense of long term collapse, just like what happened when you gave him the keys last time.

And I don't mean you specifically. Just the rhetorical "you" for anybody it would apply to.
