If you give Win 11 IoT LTSC a shot, you might like it. It’s so bare bones it doesn’t even have the Microsoft Store or media player installed. Absolutely zero ads. I never messed around with weird editions of Windows before but it seems like it doesn’t have any of the annoyances that 11 has.

It’s hard to imagine what this country will look like after 4 years of this. 😔

There’s no way there’s enough illegal immigrants here to warrant ICE having a budget that’s bigger than the Marine Corps.

This is very much going to be his own personal police force. Wearing masks and without identification of any kind, we’re seeing the rise of secret police here in America.

Eggs prices are still high but at least he got stock prices low enough that anyone can afford them.

Art of the deal! 😌

I think this is Russian disinfo. The most effective propaganda wraps itself in a cloak of truth, and it is true that there were unnecessary (imo) restrictions on Ukraine. But theres no reason to believe that it was due to collusion with Putin. Biden always operated with an over abundance of caution.

The DNC needs this to be their response to the SOTU address tonight.

But they won’t. Someone who polls well among focus groups will calmly state that this isn’t who America is or what we stand for. They’ll use their dramatic pauses and coached hand gestures to assure us to trust the process.

I don’t think we have left leaning media that isn’t in the form of a podcast.

Everything on TV & in print is pro-corporate & pro-oligarchy with some social issues thrown in as window dressing.

When it comes to the MSM there’s no left, just center and various levels of batshit right.

I never felt like protesting until they started saying protesting is illegal.

Everybody knows illegal things are fun.

We have a Republican president. Our economy was going to hurt either way. 😆

I bought that from Biden’s campaign website. It actually changes color — normally it shows him wearing sunglasses. When you add coffee they go away and his eyes glow. If you search “Biden color changing mug” there’s a bunch of stores with them.

Yeah the only place I found with that specific sticker had them selling them for like $1/each, and it was from a pro-trump seller: www.redbubble.com/i/sticker/I-...

Unfortunately I found those first so I’m embarrassed to say I bought them, but I’m happier with the ones I got from EqualityInk.

I’ve been trying to get out of the habit of saying a game is good or bad based on whether I personally enjoyed it.

There are plenty of good games out there that I just don’t like, and the games are fine.

Reminds me of those “Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich” videos where Russian soldiers beg their leader and blame all their problems on some faceless middle manager because surely Putin would never do this to them. They think if only he knew what was happening…

I’m sure they didn’t mean it this way… but when the Washington Post started talking about how they’re going into “storytelling” it reminded me of when the WWF started calling itself “entertainment.”

All of us at school were debating whether it meant wrestling was still real 😆

I think most people didn’t vote *for* Trump, they voted for a time machine back to the Obama-Trump economy.

When that doesn’t happen, I really hope the incoming administration is held to the same impossible standard they held the Dems to.

💯. I have a ton of games that I got stuck on and never got to finish. I really love how Control did it… you could enable cheats for limited amounts of time then turn them back off. Or leave them on. Either way I never would have gotten to enjoy the awesome story if it wasn’t for infinite health.

Yeah I still find myself using Twitter alot, but it’s limited to just reading headlines. It’s not worth replying or participating over there with all the bigotry & spam, whereas here the replies are friendly and relevant.

I really want bsky to totally replace Twitter but it’s not quite there yet 😔

But on the other hand… studies have shown that the way the media covers high profile murders and mass shootings can lead to copycats.
