I would say: Leave it at that. Apart from, maybe, the River.

If only he chose some more unassuming tattoos, like a Swastika or an SS rune, all of this could‘ve been avoided!

Thank you for that astute observation, Miss Mar-a-Lago-face!

Some Rs will hear and still applaud those 25% „criminals“ being off the streets, when, looking at cases, it would mostly be: „Served 2 years 20 years ago for the same small possession crime some R senator’s kid got away with scot-free, but has since turned their life around after becoming a father.“

Thing is, even if it were true (which it largely isn‘t) and they would spend gov. resources on completely wasteful and useless things, creating those things would still put American people in jobs, thus making their life better.

The only thing crumbling right now is any remaining semblance of MSM integrity. I‘ll be sure to block you right after that, @politico.eu

And I‘m native German speaking and didn‘t get your toaster reference at all, sorry.

Sorry, but you lost me completely here. Must be the language barrier.

Know what, that there are still systems running on it? E.g. this is reporting on the recent CrowdStrike vulnerabilility: www.pcworld.com/article/2405...
How Windows 95 saved companies from the global IT meltdown
During the CrowdStrike disaster over the weekend, it was an outdated Windows version that prevented even greater damage.

Let me rephrase that, because maybe some people did indeed get trapped and I can‘t remember. My point being: There must‘ve been millions of IT systems worldwide even then, completely unmanaged and forgotten, offline, not seeing a patch ever. Humanity can‘t solve what‘s off everybody‘s radar, right?

Sure. I don‘t disagree. But on a global scale..? The fact that there wasn‘t even some people trapped in an elevator in a Vietnamese highrise or something, for the pumped up media to breathlessly report, tells you a lot, right? (I know *some* stuff happened. It just wasn‘t all it was made out to be.)

Sorry, but I work in IT security… Nobody can convince me that everybody just did their homework for once. They never do. There was a problem, sure, and a lot of work was done to mitigate it. But the scope of the problem was still massively overblown.

I catch your drift but OTOH, there must still be thousands of unmanaged Win95 PCs running at some airport or hospital around the world, even today. There‘s no way we, as humanity, prudently got it *all fixed*.

Precisely, and the people praising him the loudest are all having skeletons in their closet, because, who is most likely going to overlook and cover for their past misdeeds if not a sexual predator themselves?

There might be MAGA bubbles forming on Bsky right now, and me never getting a whiff of it, if only I’m careful with my follows. The “diversity” they seek is of the rapey “Your body, my choice” kind. It demands not only a voice but for it to get forced onto the mainstream, whether it likes it or not.

I’m still cross at the little guy for jinxing the election.

I left too, but unbeknownst of the impending Exodus around me. I had it in me to hold out until the election, but the thought of 4 more years of hate, gloating and victory laps from MAGA-world just broke my spirits. It was simply an act of self-preservation.

Sure, Elon is a sniveling weasel and this all sounds very much in character for him, but if a political campaign has more than $100M pumped into it by a single donor and still doesn’t feel indebted to him, they’re in a braindead “sun king” personality cult either way.
