Also, I guess that if your country is predominantly white you’ll end up mostly with white people.

Despite what the great replacers think, America is still mostly white or at least passably white.

Poor homie is probably both lonely and horny. A terrible combination.

I’ve got a virtualized set up to.

Its pretty unbothered being virtualized so long as the disks are passed through. In my set up, I have the SAS board passed through and its using that.

My reasoning is that I wanted a lot of disks space, but I couldn’t get that without just a big case in general, so I use the extra space to store GPUs for AI and encoding stuff

I’m probably just stupid.

Yeah that’s what’s going to happen with the main blog.

Forgejo action > static HTML site > Cloudflared tunnel

This separate idea is to have a Lemmy instance to host pictures and federate the blogs comment system so people ideally won’t have to sign in or make an account to comment.

Correct take.

Although, IMHO, buldak noodles are more “spicy for spicy’s sake” than actually good. The noodles themselves are a good texture but the flavor packets feel like a gimmick.

Most “hot” wings mean nothing to me

But I don’t drown things in hot sauce since I like flavor AND heat so I carry around a few really good bottles of Ghost pepper/reaper hot sauce since there is a really nice smoky flavor with it.

Its a nice way to elevate cheap food and be viewed as a demi god by the weak and like a small child by the south east Asians.

I know my white people ghost pepper sauce is nothing compared to what Raj’s baby sister has for breakfast.

What’s your technical skill?

You can host a really simple blog for free if you are comfortable with github, markdown, and Hugo

My blog

thinkstoomuch.net

Is built that way. There’s lots of premade themes.

If you’re (rightfully) adverse to github you can also use codeberg actions but I haven’t done that yet. I’m wanting to though!

I think I followed this guide initially

There’s a few options now, but you can get Intel N100 ITX boards Like this one from ASUS with a soldered on N100 CPU for the cost of a normal motherboard.

If its just a NAS, and I do recommend having a separate Just a NAS, that CPU fucks hard.

Then the media cycle that would have been about the columbine shooters is about the mad stranger who killed two innocent high schoolers and vanished.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Trump probably saw he was popular AND I’m sure Mamdani said polite things to the guy, and now were here.

We go to a buffet by the lake.

Its honestly really nice not having to Cook, but it does feel quintessentially american to make someone else do it.

I just want busses. That tears up nothing.

I just want bollards protecting pedestrian and bike traffic. That tears up nothing.

I want passenger trains between cities where there’s already railing. That tears up nothing.

Is this honestly a bigger ask than a decade long rebuild of an interstate that will need another widening in 5 years after?

I actually said they’re a net negative and I stand by that.

Lithium mining, their fixed short life spans, and the problems of car focused cities as a whole are not addressed by going all EV. Marginally better than combustion? Sure. I’ll give you that.

But ultimately its manufacturing and the lack of repair ability make it bad over all.

Gods, this is how I sell public transit to pro car people.

I am traffic. I want to be off the road and in a bus.

I just don’t want my bus ride to be over an hour and a half long when the car ride is 10 minutes.

I’ll settle for a bike commute because that’s 30 minutes but it would require riding down a major road where the only thing protecting me from a car going 60 MPH is a painted white line and trust.

I do think there’s a debate to be had as to if were in a “better place” then if Clinton had won

If she had won, we wouldn’t be better off relative to 2015. We would have been in the same shit we were in 10 years ago with a housing crisis on the rise and COVID would have still happened and probably wouldn’t have gone too radically differently.

Wed still have increased income inequality and we saw under Biden that the main Liberal answer to climate change is Electric Cars which net doesn’t help and in fact worsens our e-waste issue.

Obviously, I don’t know this is how it would have gone for sure, but the democrats really haven’t given me much to believe in.

So would we have been “better off” with a dem successor compared to the 2015 status quo? No I don’t think so and I think we all knew that and it doesn’t inspire people to vote or participate in elections.

Would we have been better off to what we got? Yeah probably. But that’s stuff we didn’t completely know until hindsight kicked in. I think we all assumed he’d be a lame president and not a modern Commodus or Nero.

Now, I don’t subscribe to acceleration ist views, but there is that view point as well.

Under that ideology, we are better off compared to a Clinton or Harris win because they would have subdued the flakier radical elements in society longer.

Trump being president and his flagrant disregard for our status quo system is a massive stepping stone towards a revolution of some sort to hopefully fix the problems of our 2015 society plus the additional inflated issues by Trump.

Damn. All this talk of conservatives being throat goats and we completely forgot how much Warren likes head.

I want to believe we could have a woman president so long as she ran on something other than being a wet noodle that’s trying to be #relatable more than just being a good candidate.

Or better yet, running on something more than

“Are you really gonna let Trump win?”

I can see how you’d struggle to find youtubers who aren’t sucking Musks toes if you’re watching AI news people and Russell Brand.

But trust me, choosing to simply consume content that isn’t so negative is the quickest way to find rational people.

I personally really like Alex O’Connor right now. He does a lot of engagement with religious and philosophical type people. He’s an atheist who’s just genuinely trying to understand.

Not specifically. I just remember how much Thunderf00t made me an angry atheist for a time and how unpleasant that was mentally.

Looks like he’s on a hyper Musk hate train now. Which while based I’m sure his content is still very toxic to consume.

And I don’t wish that on anyone.

I think a real hobby would help with your mental health…
