The army drafting rob schneider sounds exactly like a rob schneider movie plot.

Because most of its citizens peaked in it.

They made mention of how the next protest would require action at No Kings this weekend. I was sincerely hoping this might be the case. It felt like enough people are showing up for these that action just might be possible.

I don’t know, but it was inspiring to see so many people, and the conversations going on are much more targeted and direct. I don’t have much faith left, but here’s hoping; I’ll do my part..

Exactly, they are an important tool in normalizing a resistant mindset. They get headlines, and it shows others who might be on the fence that the movement is growing. It gives people hope, unifies them.

So even without a cause, we all know what we’re protesting. Normalize the resistance, make it ordinary, make it default. We’ve been listening to their bullshit long enough, I just want to some time to shout myself.

Then I come home motivated and get to work.

Been on it for years, but reminds me that it desperately needs a hardware upgrade. Seems like now is the right time.

Anyone have any good suggestions? I’m still running an old pcengines apu2.

People have become so willfully, purposely, proudly ignorant.

It’s because the real motivation isn’t the kids, it’s punishing women. Babies are just the marketing.

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the plain and stark language. I’m so tired of the sane washing, I’m so tired of skirting the issue. We need to accept and then figure out how to deal with the facts.

It’s not his supporters I’m worried about, it’s the apathy and impatience of the average american voter that does.

Yep, they will prop his rotting corpse up as long as they can, the plan is to having him be the wrecking ball, take all the blame, but by then the fixes are all in for the next one in line.

Not sure if they will foist vance on us, I don't think they believe he can be the front of a cult but by they maybe the power will be consolidated enough that they don't care since he's just a puppet.

What I meant by works is that between the pihole and AdGuard, I don’t see ads. I appreciate the technical deep dive, but all I really care is that I have an ad-free experience.

I too can wow with technobabble, I was just trying to give a positive experience with a product that might work for you. Seems like you’ve been down that path.

Maybe don’t use chrome then?
