I know the next few months will be rough if he loses, but with a functioning government in office for another four years, they don’t stand a chance of doing anything other than make noise and perhaps mild domestic terrorism. But they can’t get nearly so close to a coup without being in power.

On the other hand, if he wins, we’re all fucked.

Yeah mine never showed up, had to go stand in the courthouse for an hour and a half. When we showed up and were told it was a 2 hour wait, and that “we’ve been getting a lot of people who didn’t get their ballot” I knew something was fucked with.

But I got my vote in.

Are you able to walk?

If so, I have bad news for you, Gary.

Sir this is a Wendy’s

Mint is the distro of choice for people who want to work on their computer, not work on their computer.

Like I’m glad for all the nerds who change distros as often as they change pairs of pants and enjoy fiddle-fucking around with their setup, but some of us only want a computer that just works and doesn’t give us shit.

Because as we all know, being a gamer means you can’t also be a fucking moron.

… Wait.

One experience with other people on Xbox Live voice chat can disprove that.

But also another reason we shouldn’t be happy with even a slightly competitive race (which, despite your claim that she’ll “win comfortably”, I still can’t help but doubt) – I want that oompa loompa to get crushed so hard he can’t possibly argue it’s fraud. Every percentage point, every state he doesn’t get is an affront to his ego, and I want it to hurt.

Vote, and help your friends and family vote.

you can essentially already do this with TrackMeNot and AdNauseam

I got up to about 120 once and that was enough for me, do not recommend unless you’re very confident you won’t die or get pulled over

It was Christmas morning, the roads were dry, I’d just gotten off working third shift, and you couldn’t see a car (or more importantly a cop) for miles, it was dead quiet. I’d just gotten the car during the summer and never had a chance to really push it. Even still, at 120, the car was starting to feel “twitchy” and I decided “… Nah, let’s not peg this, I’m good.”

That said, at 100, it felt good. Fast, but good. I wish more states in the US had higher speed limits. I get why they are what they are where I live (Pennsylvania has the best winding backroads for a drive and I’ll die on this hill), but I’ve also been out to the Midwest where it’s practically nothing but flat, straight highway through flyover states. They need a 90 or 100mph speed limit, because driving through at 60 with nothing to see but billboards and farmland takes too damn long.

Can’t afford to leave. Absolutely going to be a target to be disappeared as a gay guy if even half the shit from project 2025 is true.

I don’t even want to stick around for much longer anyways, but I wanted to at least make sure my mother didn’t have to bury a child before checking out. I just want to be left alone to suffer in peace, have her cremated, and then blow my own brains out, and I might not even be allowed to do that if Trump gets elected.

“Let’s whinge and moan about a problem that will only get worse if Trump is elected, which whinging and moaning about against Harris prior to the election will help achieve!”

truly astonishing foresight

tried the Tab Stash addon?

It’s almost like people argue in bad faith on the internet. Fancy that!

explain the part where I misled anyone? Do you still get YouTube ads even after blocking YouTube’s servers? I’d be interested to see that, if so. Otherwise, I forgive your stupidity.

never underestimate the tenacity and ingenuity of spiteful pirates. It’s been a while since I last used invidious, but I can’t imagine it being permanently broken. in the meantime – Piped, then?

If things get real stupid, we might have to employ AI to identify and strip ads from videos before mirroring. edit: Someone has, in fact, already trained an AI to identify ads in a video, with apparently 97.4% accuracy. So, the hard part’s already been done.

all these people missing the part where I said “holding a shotgun” – I guarantee you’ll never see a YouTube ad on your network again if no data from their servers ever gets past your router. It’s not a subtle or precise option, but it is highly effective. Much like a shotgun.

Then you can just use peertube, piped, or invidious when that gets fixed

I’ve had no significant driver issues with Mint and a 2080, myself. I switched back in February, and most things – games included – just work. The few that didn’t, were easy to fix with some searching on stackoverflow and reddit (about the only thing that site is good for now).

if an idiot like me can do it, so can you.
