they are bettering each other through the feud. I love it.

There's are multiple leftist gun associations and they all have my full support (and the SRA has my membership).

Unlike the MAGA lunatics, the left actually has something to protect: those who are under attack and are unable to protect themselves. The women and the LGBTQ+ people in our country NEED to be able to protect themselves because the government is obviously not interested in their safety.

These organizations are not militias. We don't plan attacks, we don't conspire to subvert order. Our purpose is to train and protect those who need protection the most.

Wow it's almost like this was predictable. Good thing all those liberals who didn't vote for Harris could not have possibly known Trump would be even worse....

Simple: It's diversity. They hate diversity and would rather live their lives only interacting with people like themselves and never having their world view challenged.

It's racism and there's a shocking amount of folks who will just straight up tell you that they are racist if it's not in public where it could affect their jobs. There's also plenty of losers who don't care and are just openly racist, but they don't tend to have careers on the line.

I went into Walmart yesterday for my annual soap/shampoo/mouthwash bulk purchase as they have the products I like at the best price (in bulk). I got to the section and it was all locked up behind glass...

I turned around and walked right out. No idea where I'm gonna get it from now, but I'm not gonna support that bullshit.

The claims of mass losses due to shoplifting have been proven false multiple times over. These are just racist store policies intended to make you spend more time in their store or to buy online or from mobile apps.

Enshitification keeps on keeping on.

You can get them pretty cheap if you're patient.

Personally I use the IKEA alternative. It works really well.

All my gear is stuff I've saved from the dumpster at work except my hard drives and my UPS. I'm using the IKEA end tables instead of racks (I think they are called lakka?). My jbod chassis is huge and very loud, but it was free. I dropped cables into my basement and I only hear it when I'm down there.

I started off with just a desktop tower full of spare parts, but over time it's slowly become a pretty impressive stack.

This reminds me so much of my dad (a house painter) when I was a kid! He was always down to indulge my curiosity by experimenting or building something. It was fun at the time, but I'm now in engineering and I'd say a lot of it is just because my dad thought it would be fun to attach a potato cannon to a go kart.

The irony in this is fucking delightful. No one wants Americans using this kind of brain rot social media. Maybe that's a sign....

What percentage of the gamers that you know would just be able to find and download an emulator from a git repo hosted on .onion or .i2p?

For me, that's just me. None of my gamer buddies would put in that effort, they'd just buy a product or play a game from steam.

I think we're still a long way from privacy focused protocols being mainstream in the way the web has become in the last 15 years.

Why is their top instance not compatible? Pixelfed.social gives me errors when I try to auth

I don't think we can, honestly.

Like I want Trump locked up, along with any politician who claimed the election was stolen.

But the fact is, the orange shit won 2024 and in 9 days (uuuugh) will ~~fully pardon himself making any punishment nullified~~ be the president again (thanks for the correction, he can't pardon himself from state charges.

If the various governments actually wanted to punish Trump (they don't, unfortunately) they would have actually done something and took advantage of the FOUR FUCKING YEARS that there was a possibility of their cases making any impact at all.

Our broken justice system is slower than our corrupt political cycle, which lets those in power do whatever they want.
