I guess riots break out all around the world?

I feel like this idea that people are just going to riot and do mass violence is some right wing fear.

Most people, most of the time, are pretty social cooperative creatures.

One, I don’t think RFK believes in HIV. He doesn’t believe in germ theory. (Ars is kind of a bootlicker site, but their news is pretty good)

Two, everyone who works at ICE should be shot dead. If we have a future, people are going to look back at us with scorn. “You knew about the horrors that lead up to ww2, and you just sat back and let it happen again?” Basically yeah, we’re all scared and disorganized, and about a third of our country are rabid fascists who want this to happen.

I feel like we should hold a rally for this sort of anti-women people. Get them all on a big boat so they can mingle and such. Sail the boat out to the ocean. and then leave it there. Let the scumbags die.

One of my lawyer friends was telling me there’s not really a legal mechanism in the US to just like dissolve an organization like the GOP.

Funny, because when I go to the suburbs or other sparsely populated areas, walking around without anybody else feels dystopian. Feels like a post-apocalyptic setting, where everyone else got taken by aliens or plague or something.

We should treat people wearing maga-hats like someone wearing a nazi armband. The outfit is a threat.

And I know if we get through this, there won’t be any judgement. People will just be like “oh that’s in the past let’s just let it be”, and people won’t pay for their crimes, and the roots of this problem won’t be ripped out.

Conservatives continue to be garbage

It’s not always tourists but stopping in unexpected places is a common irritation in NYC. Like, they’re walking on the sidewalk and just stop, and mess up the flow of foot traffic. Maybe to look at their map or to gawk at something. It’s extra annoying and a little dangerous when it’s on the stairs

Saint Luigi deliver us from these horrible “justices”

No, I’m saying the board (or whoever hires the CEO) should pay less, and take someone qualified who would accept it. You don’t see software engineers making six million a year, because that’s not good value for the money. But as I said, it’s a joke- the rich have class solidarity like no one else. They look out for their own.

Most CEOs don’t produce much of value.

Yeah but like… so what? Hire someone who’s good at the job for a reasonable rate. Let your competitors blow millions on high comp CEOs, and invest that money you saved in your business.

Except that’s a joke - it’s all a circle jerk where the ownership class pays themselves well.

Many right-wingers don’t care about words or truth or consistency. They just want to hurt their out-group.

I ran linux mint for a couple months. It was nice. Very few problems.

Unfortunately, when I tried to install it on this newer desktop it was a shit-show. No wifi or ethernet, no hdmi, it crashed when I tried to play elden ring. I should try another distribution, but I was so distressed after two days I just rolled back. The people in the mint discord were helpful, though, and got some of the problems fixed.

Windows sucks though.

I imagine there are some “written in blood” laws and regulations that apply to hotels that airbnb is ignoring, too. That should also be addressed.

I read that airbnb lead to rents rise, because it made it so easy for landlords to run their property like hotels. I don’t use them, and kind of think lowly of people that are like “well it’s convenient so i don’t care”.

I think it depends on how often they’re coming up with dubious takes, and how often there are repeats.

Like if you have to explain that gay people are just trying to live life, and that’s fixing misinformation they got as a youth, fine. Good, even. But if you have that talk and then have to have to again a month later because they “forgot” or picked up more bad ideas? Concerning.

Friend of a friend was always getting talks to patch up his dicey world view, but then he’d go back to the same YouTube or shitty friends and come back two weeks later with a fresh batch of bad ideas. Really have to get to the root of the problem

It’s kind of hard to take the NYT seriously after they’ve spent more than a decade failing to really take a stand against the right wing, but I guess better tepid and late than never?

Feels like they should be able to view the software and hardware controlling the odometer, and if it’s doing anything suspicious.

I wonder if they’ll actually do anything if they find Tesla is doing fraud. Feel like everyone who OK’d the decision should be barred from working in the industry for life, and made to forfeit everything they gained while doing the fraud.

While I’m making magical wishes, I’d also like Musk and all of his followers to choke to death.

dear saint luigi: please please please end musk. and as many of his acolytes as possible.

I was hoping you had some insight and revelations about how to use Finder.
