  • Trump’s heartless reaction to Pence being in danger revealed in bombshell filing

    This isn’t a bombshell

    yes it is bud, just because you don’t have the patience to read the filing doesn’t mean the rest of us don’t either. There are important new details that the public has not heard about that absolutely matters in regards to his state of mind and intention based on what he was made aware of. This headline is talking about a small example of the contents.

    No, this isn’t gonna change MAGA’s mind but it is still very important for the upcoming case that will not happen until after the election (which is yet another reason as to why it DOES matter.) Americans have the right to know about this stuff before the election and Chutkan has made that happen.






  • This is why you don’t buy into closed-garden ecosystems like this.

    You can absolutely set up a VPN without any app, thus your argument of how this is a reason why the walled-garden concept is flawed. iOS also has side-loading btw :)

    There’s really only one choice if you care about freedom.

    There really isn’t just one choice if you care about freedom, it’s ironic you think a singular choice is the way forward anyway when talking about freedom. Really interesting how you shape this narrative based on zero facts.

    Lastly, I think it’s very funny that you think Google is someone you can trust to give you freedom




  • No, she is a young female pop artist who is terminally online and has a near non existent PR team.

    She sits there and makes tiktoks based off of people’s response to her political takes.

    She essentially said that of course she’s going to vote for Kamala, the policies on the right are awful and some of the policies on the left are too (yes she worded it like that lmao). She said she couldn’t endorse Kamala because she doesn’t agree with everything democrats are doing.

    It’s just a bunch of immature both-sides takes, the democrats have to be Christ level of perfection else they’re just as bad as the fascist Rs.

    To no surprise people tore her statements apart and she would get more and more angry posting dumber responses.

    She needs to quit social media and hire someone asap

    GUI users = low skill ✅

    Majority GUI a weak subset and of little use ✅

    Elitism ✅

    Of course, this is all couched in “use what you like”, and top it off with a general sentiment of how this post is all but useless.

    If someone has to ask you for your git fu help the problem isn’t GUI use it’s the incompetence and/or inability to solve it yourself. Implying a strong correlation of the two is where I take issue.

    My personal experience? A built in GUI saves you so much time like the one in JetBrains IntelliJ, if I need something more use case oriented that is more than the core fn (intelliJ’s does not simply include fetch/push/pull, but much more including everything in the graphic) then I click terminal tab and do what I need. Similarly the git tree provides an immediate view and context of the branches, changes, tags etc.

    It’s almost like filtering people into GUI and CLI boxes doesn’t really work.




  • Interesting video but it seemed a bit one-sided. There is so much generality that it seems like he’s trying to paint most games that include any sort of soldiers and warfare as recruitment paths completely hand waving huge swaths of games and communities that focus on milsim for its complex tactics and strategies.

    I realize that’s what you’re pointing out in your comment here, that it’s not all under one umbrella but I watched that entire vid waiting for him to add actual context instead of correlating any attempt at realistic simulation as an attempt to build a vehicle that paints real life war as if it were a video game. He specifically says this in the video, about how modern day games try to paint real war as if it were just like a video game when in reality the chasing of simulating reality as accurately as possible to increase the complexity and difficulty to create harder challenges is essentially the exact opposite. Maintaining a gun and ammo is one thing, but what about managing hunger, hydration, bleeding, etc.

    There is a bias in his position, you can see it when he mentions how playing a game that puts you in a gunship made him sick. This theme persists throughout the examples given for modern games with war/fighting. The framing here somewhat places these games in a sort of taboo, and thus those that play them.

    I too have bias of course, but we aren’t being trained as monsters either. My friend and I play a lot of milsim games because to us it feels like the ultimate challenge, but neither of us have any interest in joining a military or even hurting anybody. Warfare is a part of life on earth, it’s not all a mil psyop.

    Lastly, propaganda is everywhere and it always has been, this idea of promoting the image of The Soldier and a Just Fight is as old as time itself, I don’t know why in that video the framing is such that the modern era is so far divorced and more insidious feels out of sync with history
