  • You are being hyperbolic, you told me that I have options, but in reality I either vote for Biden or if I choose not to vote for Biden then I’m giving away my vote to facists (Trump), that’s not democracy it’s extortion.

    I didn’t vote for the fascists, and I didn’t get a choice in their opponents so don’t try and blame me because the Democratic Party doesn’t want candidates that aren’t going to support their business interests. If they had ranked choice voting they could pull this crap, but they don’t and they won’t so stop acting like I’m responsible.





  • I have no doubt they fully intend to enact their vision of world domination, my point and the other person above is that democrats entire strategy is to do things they want convienient for them while they improve their lives at the expense of ours while offering up breadcrumbs and espouting that they aren’t the worst option. They could legislate changes for a fair election or ranked choice voting, but they don’t want change and they don’t care about us; they treat this like a game of good oligarch bad oligarch.

    If we want to get out of this rut we need to change course, and by design we will always be on the verge of the next project 2025. If you want to analogize my actions to keeping my head in the ground I would offer that you are on merry-go-round desperately trying to steer for the right course without realizing you have no agency while on the ride.

    Bottom line Plastic_Ramses is I’m tired of this shit, and I want to get off this stupid ride.







  • The link you provided doesn’t say that, “Trump and his father, who were both named as defendants, responded by accusing the Department of Justice of defamation, and filing a $100 million countersuit. The messy legal battle ended with the Trumps signing a consent decree, an agreement that allows both parties to end a dispute without admitting fault.”

    Translation: While being sued for discrimination the Trumps sued the DOJ for accusing them of defamation for a large sum of money and dragged it out in court until the DOJ decided the case was costing them too much with no end in sight and was forced to mutually drop the cases against each other, thus allowing the Trump’s to not be tried for discrimination. They used their wealth to avoid consequences, so much the same as we’re seeing now.







  • I wanted to do my own self-hosted storage but for the cost and features I went with Dropbox. It’s $10 a month if you prepay for the year otherwise it’s $12 and you get two terabytes of storage. For that you get all the same things most self-hosted solutions will offer including 30 days of versioning/backups. Additionally it’s pretty popular so most software has built in integration which is convenient but not something you need. Bottom line is doing your own storage can be cheap but adding off-site backups gets expensive and just going straight to off-site backups (cloud storage) is going to be close to the $10-$12 dollars you’ll pay anyway but you have to do all the work.


  • AT&T

    We had a bad lightning storm happen in the area where I was working every day and it damaged the cellular tower so you couldn’t get service anymore in that area. After a week of waiting for them to repair it I called to see what was going on and they told me they weren’t going to repair it as that area was going to be upgraded to the latest cellular technology at the time, but it wasn’t expected to be done for another four months. They offered me a single $25 credit if I’d keep paying them $80 a month to provide nothing. I don’t think my phone would have even supported their new network even if they did make their changes in a reasonable time. My favorite part was when I got transferred to cancellations department they asked if there was anything they could do, “Yes provide cellular service.” “Sorry, we can’t do that.” 😂
