Conservatives just say things to try to justify their emotions, or to seek power. They don't really care about truth or consistency.

Stop paying for crap. Go to your free public library. Go outside. Take up sailing.

Meanwhile, Linux works just fine. Booted up, opened steam, played Elden Ring (today I learned you can parry Midra!). Worked on a spreadsheet for some personal finance. Did some coding. At no point did I see an ad or fight with the UI.

I remember as a kid I was so excited when I got a blue chocobo in FF7 (I'm old) I ran upstairs to tell my mother. She did not care, nor pretend to care. Made me a little sad, and what could have been a nice moment did not materialize.

I try to listen to the children in my life. If little nephew wants to tell me about his robots and pokemon, I'll be there and try to engage

Everywhere I look, problems are coming from rich assholes removed from actually doing work making decisions.

A rare example of when I think talking to the computer is a good interface.

Also fuck cars, and distracted drivers need to go right to the pits.

Seems like another example where the people making decisions are not qualified to make those decisions.

My current cat does not help with bugs. One time a giant centipede looking thing came into the bedroom, on the ceiling. He looked at it, got up, and left the room.

I see a lot of Nirvana shirts on the youth and I'm never sure if they like the band or just the shirt, either.

I did see a blue-haired youth with a My Chemical Romance shirt the other day and I'm pretty sure they were a sincere fan, though.

The goal is better-than-human. It really shouldn’t ever cross a solid line, though.

The goal should be far fewer cars of any sort on the street. Investing in self driving cars instead of better infrastructure is stupid. Especially when the cars are privately owned

As I've said before, many people don't care that it's cheaper. They want black people to suffer.

Stop using Instagram. It's a platform run by assholes and monsters.
