So many critical research projects are still not funded after the bullshit DOGE did in 2025.

That amazing medical research that is used to justify Americans insane medical costs? Yeah, a lot of that money is still being held by NIH who is refusing to release funds due to arbitrary bullshit still to this day. So many projects have been completely fucked because of this, decades of research work just pissed away.

A lot of them being cancer research projects. We’ll never know how much was lost or how many lives were ended because of the cancelation or the extreme delays in funds being released. FUNDS ALREADY APPROPRIATED BY CONGRESS AHHHH

Agreed. This criticism about protest doing nothing is meaningless with the complete absence of firebombed Walmarts.

I’d even accept a firebombed CVS or something, but ain’t no one doing that either, smdh.

Florida, but when he did the medicare fraud he was Governor. So the brilliant minds in Florida decided that even after it came out that he was party to the biggest medicare fraud in history, he deserved to be senator after his 8 glorious years of Governorship.

Edit: I was mistaken, see BarneyPiccolo’s comment below.

Goddamn Midnight Mass was so fucking good.

I know it’s been clowned on for its monologuing, but it’s one of my favorite pieces of media.

Honestly nothing really.

Discover wanted me to verify my identity by uploading an ID to pay my monthly bill online. So I called and paid by phone and canceled that card.

Ideally it should be fine to do for financial/medical/government platforms, but I don’t trust these fuckers to have robust security systems in place for their third party verification service and its 643 close partners.

The big 3 credit reporting agencies go and leak my social security number and critical PII every other year anyway, so it feels kinda silly to take a hard stance, but I really have no other recourse but to try and make it as difficult as possible for my info to get leaked.

Of course my best protection is being dirt poor with abmysal credit, but I really just dont want to deal with the huge hassle of having my identity stolen.

It is morally correct to shoplift from stores that do this.

Neat! Hopefully my Pixel 6a with GrapheneOS installed will last until this is available.

I can’t go back to stock Android.

This is great, thanks for the info! I’m going to look into downloading the full PC Engine romset once I get off work.

Any real heroes wanna throw out some suggestions for what to download?

I got my classic beloved Gameboy Advance games I sometimes play on my phone already, (Pokemon’s, Golden Sun, Final Fantasy, etc.) but I’ve wanted to get into doing some emulation on my Steamdeck and have just put it off for almost too long it seems.

I’m not the one acting like a martyr because not buying my 4K 43 inch 120hz monitor from Amazon would mean I’d starve and die from having to eat rice for a week lmao.

More power to you I guess. Hogs love rolling in shit.

$50 is the difference between having to eat only rice for a week, but you absolutely NEED a gaming monitor thats 32-43 inches with 4K resolution and 120hz refresh rate?

The only person your justifying your continued use of amazon to is yourself, and you’re doing a poor job.

Arch has so much good documentation that any beginner with issues can easily troubleshoot their way out of nearly any problem.

I was a complete Linux noob when I settled on EndeavourOS as my distro, and its been my daily driver for 5 years now.

If the person you’re recommending a distro to is illiterate, then yeah, Arch would be a terrible suggestion. EndeavourOS would still be a good suggestion though since it’s dead simple to set up and has good defaults.

Alex Jones, American radio host, conspiracy theorist and executive producer of Loose Change, stated that film segments of Zeitgeist are taken directly from his documentary Terrorstorm, and that he supports “90 percent” of the film.

It’s nonsense garbage.

I need to catch up. I’ve been really bad at setting some time aside to read for an hour this past month.

“Cumsoomers”?

I think some people are very sensative to the tone of the “excuse me”. The phrase “excuse me” has a sarcastic or ironic use (insert Tobias Funke gif here) so some people are more sensitive to that coming from a stranger.

I’m talking outta my ass here, but I have family members who don’t use the phrase in the polite “pardon me” type of way but exclusively in a sarcastic mocking way.

I don’t really say “excuse me” anymore when trying to get past someone/maneuver in a public place. I’ve found a lot more success/less weird interaction with saying “pardon me” instead. Hell even a “Please excuse me” or “Excuse me, please” is a safer bet if you dont want to deal with some grumpy asshole misinterpreting your intent.

The world will be a better place when every fascist apologist like you is dead. Die in a fentanyl overdose already you worthless piece of shit.

Every ICE piece of shit deserves the wall and worse. This is fucking insane. I cannot believe the people brave enough to stand up to these fuckers aren’t rolling deep strapped the fuck up.
