When your support for a country is so blind and unconditional that you can support genocide.

Thanks, Microsoft, you spineless simps. Another reason I’m glad I switched to Linux.

Microsoft should be getting worried about Linux.

You don’t get to define what evil is when you voted for the antichrist.

The Democrats suck but there’s a huge difference between voting for boring corporatists and 100% concentrated evil. Don’t make me tap the chart.

Capitalism today looks nothing like capitalism in the 1950s. Back then, a family could easily survive on the income of one person. With money left over to pay for college education, a car and a house.

That is not the situation today, where most Americans have NO retirement savings. Unless you’re redefining what capitalism IS, then that’s a problem caused by the people in charge (oligarchs).

There’s a huge difference between capitalism and oligarchy. What we have is oligarchy. All the worst parts of capitalism. 19th century robber-baron “capitalism.”

Karl Marx said a lot of things about socialism and collectivism a hundred years ago, but he’s not in charge anymore. The rich oligarchs who replaced him are saying this. You keep saying “but they SAID they were SOCIALISTS” and all I see is Sponge Bob’s eyes, filling up with tears because he just can’t believe that some rich assholes are lying to him.

We have people in this country who claim to be “christians” who literally elected the anti-christ. Trump embodies ALL the seven deadly sins, but those folks are just fine with it. So let’s quit pretending that belief systems can’t be exploited.

The people who told you what socialism or capitalism is, LIED to you. “The good of the people” is a noble-sounding goal. But the reality is that the people who deliberately seek power are . . . for the most part . . . vain, greedy, brutal assholes.

The point is that it’s a class war. It always has been. It’s not about “socialism vs capitalism” or “liberals vs conservatives” or The Romulans vs The Federation. It’s about billionaires vs everybody else. It’s about the cluefull vs the clueless.

Yeah, there’s nothing worse than a bunch of billionaire shitheads, using the media they control to keep the lower classes fighting with each other while they . . . the rich . . . run off with all the farking money. Oh wait, that’s what’s going on Russia, too.

There are no “good guys” here. Just billionaire assholes exploiting everybody.

Your “job” won’t be anything more complicated than putting screws in the back of iPhones for minimum wage.

No company is going to waste years and billions of dollars building a manufacturing plant in the U.S. if the Dynamite Monkey in Chief can destroy it on a whim.

In the US, it was probably called “Preview.” It was an over-the-air movie channel that needed a decoder box to view it.

They usually broadcast from a UHF TV station that had made a deal with HBO or CineMax (often nicknamed “Skin-a-Max” because they tended to show pron after 11pm or so). It was basically cable TV without the cable.

You should be using Lemmy instead of Reddit. It’s defederated, and it’s spread out over 600 Instances in many different countries. This way, one rich egomaniac can’t ruin it for everyone else.

Yeah, it was either Stardew Valley or Witcher 3 for me. (I wouldn’t last 5 minutes in Velen).

I’m also sick of hearing people say, “God never gives you more than you can handle.”

I know people who have been driven batshit insane by what God has given them.

It’s not my responsibility to make the FBI’s job (or any cop’s job) easier.

Also, folks should be using 3rd party open-source encryption, like VeraCrypt and a password manager that encrypts the database, like Keepass. Don’t ever expect governments and corporations to respect your privacy.

There must be a hundred third-party freeware apps that let you encrypt files. Heck, even zip archivers have a password protect option. If you’re a whistleblower, you’re going to be collecting data over long periods of time, not sending instant messages. You can use OnionShare (droid-ify) to create temporary TOR links if you really need to share a file quickly and untraceably.

Company-wide email: “We’ve had our best year ever and it’s all thanks to YOU!”

Me: “Great. Can I have a raise?”

Company: “Oh, we can’t afford THAT.”

Yup. If your company is too cheap to do pizza parties anymore then either the pizza is too expensive for them to provide (bad sign) or management can’t spare you being off the clock for an hour (another bad sign).
