  There is no metric by which I could be called a “conservative”, and yeah, fuck this. There is no assistance that should be given to undocumented migrants before it’s given to literally everyone else first.

  This is right up my alley, so I bought it, congrats on your first release! I have to imagine it’ll play great on my steamdeck, hoping anyways.

  What I wouldn’t give to see Big Gretch in the Oval Office. MAGAts literally tried to hatch a plan to kidnap and murder her, so she’s aware of the threat they pose to civilization in a way few others are. That aside, she’s taught effectively for labor, helped repeal right to work in her home state, and is brimming with personality.

  She also doesn’t want the job, which makes her even more perfect for it.

  Dated a lovely black woman back in my late 20s, she took me to meet her family like a month in, they were all super sweet. Dinner was fried chicken, hominy, mustard and collard greens, slaw and Mac n cheese, her grandmas fried chicken made me forget I ever cared about my grandmas fried chicken. Who the fuck doesn’t love fried chicken? Okay sure, vegans, but other than that?

  And seriously I get the whole stereotype being a deep seated bunch of white people fuckery, but like, fuck that, let’s eat.

  I fully expected all replies to miss the point. You can’t make more nuclear power without massive amounts of petroleum based energy and products.

  But, again, it doesn’t matter, and isn’t worth arguing about. People don’t get it because why would they want to get it? It sucks to get it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Republicans are pulling out all the stops to reverse EV adoption⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t hold your hopium against you at all, I would love a positive outcome. I’m not holding my breath though.

  Die. We will die. The only crutch that props up our massive jump from 1 billion pre industrialized society to our current 8 billion human beings on this planet, has been cheap and plentiful fossil fuel. Notably, it is the only thing that has allowed us to practice agriculture on a scale that supports our population growth. When it’s gone, there is nothing to replace it, short of a miracle fusion revolution.

  The average carbon cost to produce an electric vehicle is about 6 tons on average, not including the battery, about the same as an ICE vehicle. Where does the energy for auto manufacturing come from? Primarily coal and natural gas, with a sliver of insubstantial wind and nuclear power. About 7 barrels of oil go into each and every tire on the road (between expended energy and actual petroleum products in the tire). Charging the battery? Coal, natural gas, and the same trickle of alternative sources mentioned above.

  Speaking of those alternative energy sources, what do we use to make them? Building a nuclear power plant is likely the most carbon intensive process ever devised, from the machinery that moves the earth, to the foundry that makes the steel. As much as I’ve always wanted to believe in a cozy eco future, every time I squint a little I can see that it’s all just a coat of green paint over the same old oil field. The people trying to sell you on oil, and the people trying to sell you on alternatives to it, are doing the same thing. Selling you something. That’s all that matters to them.

  There is no feasible alternative that changes the outcome. There is no replacement for what has allowed us to create wonders and horrors beyond our ancestors wildest dreams, and sustain a population far beyond anything we could have achieved without fossil fuels. When oil finally becomes unproductive, so will the mechanisms that hold our current civilization together, and we will wind up back in 1810 if we’re lucky, or 400ad if we aren’t.

  Call me a doomer and downvote me or whatever. It doesn’t matter.

  Please accept one Reddit silver I have leftover from when I still used Reddit. Very good insights here.

  I think they just wanna fit in, which is a totally relatable feeling. But I promise, this is not the way you want to fit in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I want to talk in an American accent but how can I transition into it slowly for people who know me without them noticing a sudden change?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My sibling in Christ, just relax and be yourself. You’ll pick up the accent more and more over time, that’s how it works. Forcing it is disingenuous. Imagine if my goofy midwestern ass moved to the UK and started to try to speak with Brits forcing their accent.

  Well, we found our example of low cognition.

  Thanks <3

  Neat. Sounds worth checking out.

  I ran windows then, now I run Linux exclusively. Guess I’ll have to dig in and see if that works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  A couple years ago I installed misery and dumped a couple hundred hours into it and holy fuck was it good. Frantic memories of fights that I’ll probably never forget. Fuck burers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Need rolling updates⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t bother reading the other comments before giving my glowing recommendation of EndeavourOS, I’m always happy to see other people having as good of an experience as I’ve had.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Need rolling updates⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  EndeavourOS on the other hand, I set up BTRFS with grub bootable timeshift snapshots and have never gotten to use them once. In my experience at least, EndeavourOS is blatantly superior to Manjaro. Give it a whirl if you haven’t yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for games with strong female leads for my daughter (even just to watch as I play). Came across this link, but they're a bit old. Any suggestions from the community?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Ooo ooo I’ve got one.

  Kena: Bridge of Spirits. It’s like a Pixar souls like adventure game. Lots of foresty magic, very beautiful, and challenging enough to give you a run for your money while she laughs at your many failures.

  It’s a good game.
