Atticus Pinch…A loaf

I’m fortunate my whole family hates this guy… Other than one red state cousin somewhere in Tennessee

It seems to be getting slower and slower and has even been off-line a couple of times. I’ve been there 16 years but am getting pretty close to completely bailing out.

I think after Biden and then Trump, people will be completely fed up with old white guys. I seriously doubt even Santa Claus could get elected. I’m in my 60s and a huge Bernie fan but we need some younger people on the ticket.

I got permanently banned from the food stamps sub by talking about Trump’s crappy economic policies

You could always invest in the European defense industry, rather than US stocks https://i.imgur.com/cUpqyJo.png . In any case I’m not looking forward to the US becoming Russia 2.0.

One thing that concerns me that not many people have talked about is what’s going to happen to the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency? More and more countries want nothing to do with us and while the US dollar has a huge edge over any other currency, the US becoming a pariah is probably going to impact that.

That’s like CNN saying, “orange man bad”. They were sanewashing Trump’s BS the whole time.

She going to be another Feinstein?

I’m pretty sure it’s just another distraction and nothing more. Plus, he’s already pretty much a babbling idiot, he’ll likely be a vegetable in four years.

There really wasn’t much online in the 80s, other than a lot of archives. After the invention of HTML and subsequently, the World Wide Web it became a lot more user-friendly and also got filled with a lot of garbage. After 2010 or so is when enshitiffication went into overdrive.

The Roman Empire took centuries to eventually collapse and a lot of it was corruption, hyperinflation, and complacency. It’s happening here but at a much quicker rate.

Instead of throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks, immediately get rid of the gerontocracy (Schumer, Pelosi), regroup, find a leader with some balls and declare open warfare on Republicans. It’s not like there isn’t any ammunition.

I’ve been online since the late 80s and the Internet, generally speaking, has gone to shit. I’ve been on Reddit for 16 years and it’s been going down the tubes for a while now. Too many people, overzealous mods and now a soft paywall? Yeah, I’m done.

Either all of the polling sites are lying or that impotent clown still has a 47% approval rating. Why? I have no idea.

Lemmy can expect some inbound traffic

I used Linux on and off over the years and will probably switch back to using it when Windows 10 is no longer supported. Linux will never be mainstream but the user base would grow if every Steam game ran on Linux seamlessly. That’s probably never going to happen, though. There will also never be “the one” distro to rule them all. Mint and Ubuntu come pretty close.

I’ve tried talking to Trump voters. It’s fucking impossible because they live in an alternate universe and see a completely different reality than everybody else.

His platform was supposed to be grocery prices and immigration. What happened to those?

I’m 65 and the country is essentially fucked for the remainder of my lifetime. The judiciary, federal appointments, cabinet secretaries, SCOTUS… We’re screwed
