There can only be… NONE!

I am currently reading a collection of short stories titled Lake of Souls by Ann Leckie.

They’re all in the sci-fi genre, and they have been pretty interesting so far.

I’m not OP, or a mod, but I shall say yes!

I recently finished a classic sci-fi book, Second Foundation by Isaac Asimov. It is part of The Foundation book series. I started the original first book about 7 years ago and have come back to the series every few years. They’re pretty interesting and can see why they are considered classics.

Looming back it was probably Windows XP as the last time I used Windows as my main OS. I switched not because Windows was enshittified like it is now, but because the FOSS movement sounded interesting to me. I loaded Ubuntu on an old laptop, and once I got drivers working it covered everything I needed besides gaming. As I became more of a casual player I used Windows less and less until now where I only use it at work. It’s been an interesting journey.

Rather than comment on each individual response I figure comment on my own.

I agree with all the points made here.

When they couldn’t get Capone for the murders and rackateering they got him for tax evasion because he deserved it. Trump absolutely deserves all these charges and should go to prison.

I do not believe Trump should get a free pass for his crimes. No one should. I was only suggesting that his crimes may have been ignored until there was a political motivation to look. It shouldn’t have to be that way, but that may have played a role on why they are just now investigating. If they had looked into it earlier it may have disqualified him from running in the first place; which to be clear, is a good thing.

Notice how I didn’t say the Georgia elections case was unfair. He was recorded trying to commit voter fraud and should be charged. There’s plenty in Jan 6th commission report to charge too and I am frustrated that hasn’t happened either.

I definitely do not like Trump, and this comment is by no means me defending him. He has committed crimes and should be prosecuted. However, certain actions by Dems does suggest he was targeted.

One example is his tax returns. It is a tradition for presidents to voluntarily release them. He chose not to. Then democratic controlled congress fought for several years to have them be released for no real reason except to force him.

I also think that prosecutors in New York would have ignored his fraudulent business practices, which they likely ignored for several years prior, if he hadn’t become president and was seeking re-election.

Again, I am not defending him. Lock him up for his crimes. But I also don’t think the democrats motivation is solely coming from the idea of “justice for all.”

I guess the air is a mixed salad of gas molecules…

The browser in my computer at work doesn’t have an ad blocker. I haven’t installed one because I most of the time I’m using it to access our intranet. But when I do happen to use the internet, damn are there so many ads! They literally block the content I’m trying to read, and come back even when I try to close it.

All that to say, due to enshittification I will forever keep my ad blocker on my personal computer.

“What could Bernie be doing differently, that would actually be effective?”

Unfortunately it’s not about Bernie doing something differently. The incremental changes cannot only be made at the ballot box or with candidates. It has to be made within the population at large.

Social movements through collective organizing can bring change. Unfortunately the capitalist state knows this as well and that’s why any attempts to organize are stamped out quickly through violence, media campaigns to discredit, or various other means.

If I take the red pill, would I have to accept misogyny as a way of life like they say on YouTube?

It sounds like you have a few devices, so I would recommend trying out this testing distro with MauiShell. There is a testing iso under the heading “Downloads and Sources” in this most recent blog post about its development progress.

I can certainly see that in regards to the movie. I think I read somewhere too that the character “Switch” would switch genders from the real world into the Matrix. I think it would have been real cool if it had made it to the movie.

And now on YouTube the Red Pill symbolizes accepting misogyny as the backbone for society.

Conservatives can truly spin everything for the worst.
