Can I just pretend I’m texan and vote illegally 10x next time they vote to secede?

If only dems were even half as tough on actual fascists as they are on progressives.

I’m subscribed to a number of ‘magazines’ and none of them have any politics at all. I peek into ‘all’ every now and again out of curiosity.

So, same as reddit - gtfo of all, and change your default feed to be what you want to see.

I am sad about this, but considering what a pile of junk my pioneer is, I could be sadder. I replaced it with a non-name version for $30 that’s done a LOT better.

That’s excellent news. Good for them #UnionStrong

There’s so many ridiculous concepts in that awful series, but they did ask for dystopia :D

Oh look, the MS steamwreck.

Whoever thought that we’d look at idiocracy and think “well, it’s optimistic because they put the smart person in charge of real policy”

That was always one of my favorites, and it seemed so likely. Now, however, I realize that it was horribly overimpressed with corporations, like most 80s stuff was. We know innovation isn’t something megacorps do anymore.

The one I wished for was more of a Shadow Run future, and my native friends and I used to joke about it.

Most likely? That’s a tough one. I would guess “V for Vendetta”.

What would I prefer? Foundation. At least then we’re multi-planetary.

Only one who wrote about it was the one who went self-hosted, the rest didn’t talk about it. I would guess it ended up being the final straw, like “why direct people to X to back me instead of just promoting myself where they see me.” Especially if, as you say, the cut was so similar.

7 out of 9, yes, one went to self-hosted, another left in favor of youtube directly, the rest in favor of twitch. The last two I follow on Patreon (Techmoan and My Mate Vince) just sorta rolled past the whole thing.

Too little, too late. I only know 2 creators that I supported who stayed through all this. Most quit patreon when it was announced… this is hardly the worst of the fees they charge people.

I’d be interested to see if it compares favorably with white lightning, which works well (aside from the mess)

I find it interesting that simply having been involved in litigation (I got sued once for an art piece) seems to be enough that I go home every time I’m called for jury duty. They really do want people with no idea.
