The cheapest PCs are ones that didn’t make the cut for Windows 11, so I’d look for 6th or 7th Gen. RAM is cheaper as well. Then you can build something cheap, and iterate from there.

For a beginner, check out Unraid. It’ll do 99% of what you want without being a hassle.

What do you call a Nazi collaborator?

Any smartphone is the obvious one.

But, the first black hole was confirmed in 1971. The fact that we’ve taken a picture of one would be incredible, not to mention directly imaging planets in other solar systems.

I guess this is the place to remind everyone that we did not save the cheerleader, so we did not save the world.

She’s dead.

He may be rich enough.

He seems like the kind of guy who has a couple couches though.

I mean, I get it.

It’s why you don’t buy a white couch. It shows all the stains. You want a darker colored couch to hide dirt, orange juice spills, that kind of thing.

Only rich people have money for a white couch. Because if you spill some wine on it, and the stain won’t come out, they can afford to replace it, no questions asked.

Tell me your parents have money without telling me your parents have money.

Why do you think they’re unpopular? Is it possible that the party which controls how funds, advertising, and opportunities are allocated in the primaries it fully controls has a vested interest in keeping leftist politicians out of office?

There’s a hotel room in Dallas where some young Republicans are all chuckling about how funny it would be to download Grindr to troll “the gays,” but they’re all secretly excited to check out the local scene.

That’s my point a little bit. Unions were not keeping wages consistent with productivity, their leverage was. Then they lost that leverage. A lot of people want to bring back unions with no changes, and capitalists have learned it’s better to just close the Starbucks.

This is something that will only be changed through legislation, and since no political party sides with the worker, that’s a slim hope. Government is literally the biggest collective bargaining tool we have. It’s a union, but we’re losing that as well to corporate interests.

I think it’s telling where unions have had staying power, and where they haven’t.

This graph is a bit of a misnomer.

Why did union membership drop? Did people decide it wasn’t worth it, or were unionized jobs the first to be automated and shipped overseas?

I think this is a lot of people’s experience with Elon, and least until be went full crazy. If you didn’t know anything about the subject he was talking about, he sounded smart. If you did know something about it, you figured out how dumb he was really fast.

I don’t know. If Trump has taught us anything, it’s that a significant percentage of people struggle with empathy. And despite us being the war hawk, military police of the world, I would guess there are fewer people who understand what it’s like to be deployed that long than folks who are used to landlords slapping a coat of paint on something and pretending they totally rebuilt it, brand new.

Both are enormously disrespectful. Trump doesn’t give two shits about the people, the money, or the equipment he burns on this giant Epstein file distraction.

It’s unfortunately sustainable because people buy things they like before things they need.

For all of us, for everyone 1 person we know who has a decent job and loves to play games they buy with disposable income, we probably know 5 who shouldn’t buy the game they’re buying because they’re already behind on their sewer bill.

Sometimes. Sometimes it’s a 40 minute exegesis on the verse “Jesus wept.”

Varies church to church and pastor to pastor.

But what if I need to know everything about the genitals of the people around me before I take a satisfying shit?

When will we have a party who makes that their core message?

I live in Tennessee, so my opinion of Dolly is definitely biased. She was and is a treasure. I think she understood something most people in positions of power and prestige do not: what you say matters little, what you do matters lots.

Could she have showed up on political stages? Sure. Could she wear a #I’mWithHer shirt? Yeah. Is she the kind of person who’s going to play moral trolley problem lesser of two evil games? Absolutely not.

Dolly came from a place where nobody gave a damn about her or anyone else, and they still don’t. So she decided she would. She decided to cut through it all to let kids know that someone cares about them and that kindness always wins.

I’ve played HoI4. This is puppeting Canada. Are we taking their navy as well?

They brought back beef tallow for fries.

Mission accomplished?

They would say none, because Einstein made it out of the patent office and if you’re still stuck in the patent office, you aren’t Einstein. Brilliance must always rise to the top. Bezos is at the top, so in his mind he’s brilliant. In his mind, there’s no world where he isn’t who he is today.

Remember there’s no empathy or understanding.
