I know my wife sells glass art but really only doesn’t it to make room and break even on materials. So it may be allot more work to make a profit at it.

I hate to break it to everyone but we are already in world war 3. It’s just that we need way less troops to fight it and you will be shocked to find out who the axis are this time around.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 6 days ago:
Yep that’s why they fucked over Bernie so hard. He was what we always wanted in a progressive president. But since the rich area playing both size and acting like they different the DNC sabotaged him twice and now we see the result.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 6 days ago:
I honestly don’t think progressive politics is the problem. When it comes to the US. The only other party is the democrats and at best they are center at best but really they are just Republicans from 20 years ago. From a fiscal sense.
Both times they sold the American people to pick them just because the other side is worse. The problem is most people don’t want to pick the lesser of two evils. They want to pick something that will change their lives for the better.
The problem is when Democrats don’t really have a platform or communicate that platform effectively. But the other guy is saying he will fix the problems in people’s lives even if they are lies. Most low information voters will roll the dice on the chance he is not lying. Because the other side has brought nothing to the table at all.
The logic i have seen with a man like that broke my heart was this. He said i care about the plate of Trans folks and other minorities but like on an airplane you have to put on your own mask on first before you help others. So when you are out of work or can’t afford to live. The culture wars feels like less a priority for those type of people.
When looking with that lense it makes sense how people voted. People with higher education and income voted Dem becase they wanted to help others.
People with lower income voted Republican out of desperation and was easy for Republicans to sell the snake oil of. If we hurt these small group of people. All your problems will be solved. Then those same people are hurt more when they find out it was all a lie.
Read up on history and how Germany was after World War I. It’s like having a crystal ball of what’s going to happen next.

Ah well that was my best guess. Best of luck figuring it out

Do you have steam open at all. You may have shaders compiling outside of game.

Yeah I will agree on that maybe bittersweet is a better word. But over all a very good ending to the story they wanted to tell.
- Comment on Why are ghosts never racist? 1 week ago:
Also most racism is really a class issue. As in the upper class control and steal from the lower class and blame the other for the hardship the upper class caused. When your no longer havsa body or comporeal needs. All that stuff goes away.

I want Nana to get all the pay she can. But please keep your hands off DS9, Kurtzman. A joke episode or two on lower decks is one thing. But DS9 ended perfectly and doesn’t need a picard like memberberries train wreck and yes I know any new series can’t ruin the old series if you just ignore it. But i would rather not waste our time.
- Comment on Why are ghosts never racist? 1 week ago:
I like to think they observe and change with the times. Kind of grow in death.

Because they are incentivizing us to buy new phones. It’s not a technical reason it’s a capitalism reason.
- Comment on How do I start a crypto wallet 1 week ago:
Oh so it’s guess there is at least one stupid question. The only way to make money with crypto is to scam people by rug pulling. So the real question you are asking is how do I scam people for a secondary income.
- Comment on Free NetBSD server user account only for educational purposes 1 week ago:
Yeah a shell account is a standard term for getting a terminal access in a shared system going all the way back to mainframes.
Most universities at least in the US had a thing called a Sunsite that came with shell access sometimes.
- Comment on Xbox Game Pass might be getting a price hike 1 week ago:
I agree on GoG, buying physical only gets you the broken unpatched game they shipped. Steam i feel okay with since they are a private company and not all their games are DRMed and it’s clearly marked if they are.

Thanks you, this is a great idea, I really like this one. I am concerned though that my crutches would limit my improv versatility.
- Comment on YSK: Non-violent protests are 2x likely to succeed and no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of the country population has ever failed 1 week ago:
Also non violent protests turn violent because the opposition embed bad actors to create the violence or counter protest pushes people to violence out of self defense.
- Comment on Free NetBSD server user account only for educational purposes 1 week ago:
Yeah they do

If you are planning on running an open shell account server. I would look up joining the tildeverse as a member server.
- Comment on Xbox Game Pass might be getting a price hike 1 week ago:
It’s more the trend of i have seen in the tech space of a deal too good to be true. A tech company taking a loss to gain marketshare and drive out competition on price or flat out buy them then when they have cornered the market drive up the price for insane profits and customers have no choice because you effectively become the platform.
- Comment on Xbox Game Pass might be getting a price hike 1 week ago:
Yeah I agree with you on thinking of it as a new game fly. The problem I have is MS’s plan is to make gamers comfortable with only renting games by making it cheap then when there is no other option. They jack up the price.

You will own nothing and love it

This is very cool. I think I have seen some people that do this at the Scarborough Ren Fair down here.
- Comment on What are some good places/activities where a middle-aged man can new make friends? 1 week ago:
Thanks dude, i will im used to the overtly hostile people. It’s the people that don’t even realize they do it that kills me. Because that’s not them being assholes that’s the systematic bias built by our society as a whole.

Oh that’s cool i guess i didn’t think of it as live music only. I was picturing a place where they blast a DJ or playlist way to loud between bands playing.
- Comment on What are some good places/activities where a middle-aged man can new make friends? 1 week ago:
Yeah it’s a good plan if you can do it. But with moving around allot I don’t really have those old friends in the area. It’s regretful now but as a teen and up to my early twenties. I was of a mind set I’m just going to move in a few years anyway might as well stick to myself. I was that kid in high-school that just did his work didn’t bother anyone. Then just disappeared without you really noticing him. You might have asked to barrow a pen in class.

I love the idea of Garak reading that and being disgusted at being called part of the military. The obsidian order looks down on the military as Guileless Brutes.

That’s interesting how do you get to know people? Doesn’t the music make it hard to hear people? I feel like in that scenario i would go listen to music and have a good time but would still be alone in a crowd.
- Comment on What are some good places/activities where a middle-aged man can new make friends? 1 week ago:
Yeah i so get you dude. It’s funny you bring up being British. I’m half English and have the same problem when I go to cons. Like I went to the local Vintage Computer Festival South West. People were nice but just could never get anyone make the jump to genuine connection.
Being on crutches I think puts it on hard mode. As people ether consciously or unconsciously just don’t want to deal with disabled people. I feel that is less an issue in the UK but in the states most people are down right hostile sometimes to disabled people.
- Comment on What are some good places/activities where a middle-aged man can new make friends? 1 week ago:
Yeah unfortunately most of my interests are stuff that are done solo. Im also not sure if those interests became my interests because i have been solo most of my life. Moved around allot as a kid. That’s why I want to bridge out to new things.
