You’re not wrong in general, I should clarify. This family is of the affluent, fence-sitting variety conservative. They couldn’t be assed to do anything because it hadn’t hit them yet. This did. This is someone who will genuinely be turned imo.

Quick edit here, I just got done talking with them. They told me what finally pushed them over was talking to a friend of theirs whose kid has autism. Their kid hadn’t been able to sleep at night with all this shit going on. Apparently that really got to them. So - my takeaway here is, keep the dialogue open. If you have a story to tell, keep sharing it. You never know who it will reach.

Yeah ok I can see that, thanks

Just chiming in to say the sega channel was fucking awesome, that was real future shit

Wasn’t this when shady sands was destroyed, apparently? Why is t-51 required?

Musk saying the words “social security” might have been the best thing that could have happened tbh. A conservative family member of mine was at an Indivisible meeting today - I think the republicans might be in for a bit of a shit show, if you can believe it

Yeah I’m just here to fuck cars idk

Hahaha. How many OF careers are gonna be launched in this administration, I’m taking bets

People showing exactly where they draw the class line in here lmao

Yeah but that dude made a career killing Nazis and mic dropping his presidency with warnings about the Military Industrial Complex. That Republican Party died with Reagan.

NOPE

Extremely sad news, this is what an authoritarian state looks like for anyone who still didn’t believe it. Wish them all the best wherever they land.

I was already done with windows, but if I hadn’t decided yet the AI in notepad definitely would have put me over the edge. That’s insane.

What to do? I don’t know, what the rest of us are doing, figuring it out. They’re the smart ones, right? Yep, Einstein sure did make the right choice. Let’s think this through then. Who are the people actively being persecuted like Einstein? It’s not a hard guess: Palestinians, their supporters, anyone from the global south, or anyone with brown skin. Don’t worry, they’re actively deporting these people. They’re not trying to run, they’re just keeping their heads down trying to survive. Because your country doesn’t want any of us unskilled workers either. The vast, vast majority of people trying to get out are not going to be listed above. And if they are? I don’t blame them, get out. But to compare Einstein to people with degrees leaving because they’re afraid like the rest of us is absurd to the point of being offensive.

Makes sense! Thank you for looking

Bailout, or government ownership run by DOGE? I hear they have some servers available - well, soon.

Wow. Here is a free guide from the EFF, though it’s from 2017 so I don’t know how useful it still is.

Admirable and totally understandable. I feel like FanDuel or whatever would be knocking at the door every day
