It feels like everything is running on a VM, and the hypervisor is running constantly. Or something odd like that.

Certified hood classic.

I wish that was the case. It’s mostly just extreme right lobbying groups like Focus on the Family and the Alliance Defending Freedom, the same groups that control the far right, exert colonial control over impoverished African countries, and generally make the world a worse place for everyone. The same groups that manufactured cases to screw up Dobbs, Wedding cake lawsuits, and death penalty laws for LGBTQ citizens of Uganda.

I was shopping for clothes at a indie clothing place, and they asked if I was wearing underwear when I requested the key for the changing room. I said of course, and asked why. They said they’d had a number of patrons who apparently destroyed merchandise by not wearing underwear or cleaning their ass.

Seared into my memory, lol.

I like the historic versions of dogs vs the modern ones. The modern versions of dogs are a lot less healthy, and it shows. :/

Not going to happen with that idiot in office. He cut basically all manufacturing initiatives.

It’s amazing how bad Linux and Windows are at sleeping on my laptops. My steam deck has a power drain issue too, even when fully powered off.

I’m seeing 25c in London. Is it hotter in other parts? I remember visiting Germany in 41.5 degree heat. That was toasty!

Plus, they occasionally release pretty decent music

Nobody wants to do that. North Korea is a shithole-class country that hates SK, is propped up by China, and to a lesser extent, Russia, who basically use them as slave labor and cannon fodder for their illegal war in Ukraine.

While NATO could easily steamroll NK, SK is right there and would get heavily damaged in a war. And then SK would probably have to take care of a ton of starving, brainwashed, uneducated people and a bombed flat country. Nobody wants to fix them, and superpowers like China are actively working against peaceful initiatives like reunification.

It’s an injustice for the world, but there’s much bigger fish to fry on the world stage right now. Existential, extinction-class threats like climate change and nuclear war. Democracies fighting tooth and nail against totalitarianism, like Ukraine. And western countries in various fights against the predictable but extremely annoying rise in fascism.

They’re smoking symbiotes.

Was this one shorter than last years? Seems like things didn’t change much once things were initially sketched out.

Why are the states that are most vulnerable to climate change also the ones also rushing to wipe themselves out? It makes no sense to me, especially post-Katrina. You know what’s going to happen, dog.

A lot of these are extremely horny. Culture really has changed.

For LGBTQ rights? Definitely. For the climate? Way worse. Politically? Way worse. Economically… I’d way we are in a big bubble like the roaring 20s before the great depression. And when it pops, it’s gonna be bad, thanks to idiot voters and corrupt Republicans.

Government-wise…things are not looking good. It will take a very long time to rebuild.

Now…state-wise, I know my state is way better off than it was 30 years ago, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t about to get slammed by braindead antics of the federal government. But we have made a lot of infrastructure investments that are paying off locally. The future of America will be exclusively in states that put a premium on science and progress.

For vocals, probably Constellations (Unplugged) by Dabu. This song can be found on less compressed platforms too, which I recommend

I want one of these in NA so bad

My ancestor!

That’s the same thing that got us here in the US. You have to clamp down on that shit while you still can. The fucking Russian government is good at it.

If we are talking in the magical sense, absolutely not, especially if it was proportional to crimes committed. Putin, Trump, XI, and Kim never would have made it to power, not to mention quite a few others.
