I don’t think this site will return to normal until the US midterms are over, but I’ll try to be less of a dick until then.

Happy to contribute!

lmao I’m sorry. I tend to respond with the energy I’ve been given and this week Lemmy has been giving me lots of rude BS.

He’s referring to Ars Technica you box of rocks.

Oh it’s you. Bye.

If WHO nominates Gavin? WHO?!

THERE WILL BE A PRIMARY.

VOTE IN IT.

“You guys”? I’m not going anywhere…

???

Your timing is not reassuring…

None of these fights would exist despite Democrats, and yet. . .

Yandex server back online confirmed.

Needs work but I appreciate the sentiment. Is the Yandex data center back up?

Oh shit the servers are back up!

We know Gavin is a cunt. We also know he’s less of a cunt than whoever the GOP is going to nominate. In a #1 Cunt War, JD vs Gavin is hardly a contest. Don’t nominate him and we won’t have to have this discussion in 2028.

The BothSidesBad comments have dropped by 70%, even in the thread about how much of a cunt Gavin Newsom is.

I feel the pendulum swinging back the other way, but I fear there may too many ropes in place to keep it suspended on the side of fascism. I guess we’ll see.

I have bought appliances in the last three years. It’s pretty easy to get “dumb” appliances, but it’s hard to find dumb, high quality appliances, and you pay a premium for them. I heard Speed Queen is the best when it comes to washers and dryers. I have a dumb LG fridge that doesn’t try to connect to the interweb or anything. My washer-dryer is LG and has an option to connect to the internet I will never allow.

That’s also when they started putting “In God we trust” on our money. Assholes.

Added to the stops. This is going to be a busy fieldtrip through time.

“Enshittification” better be the word of the year.

If I ever invent a time machine, I’m making a few pit stops on my way back in time to cap Hitler, and Milton Friedman and his friends are on the list. He’s the misanthrope who popularized the idea that the only duty of a company’s leadership is to deliver profit, and any other pursuit is a disservice to the shareholders. This is known as the Friedman Doctrine.

Oh look.

Bread has become expensive,

so here come the circuses.

When this is over, we need to recreate that famous photo of Mussolini a few hundred times all over DC. (You know the one.)
