like this?

only if the boss is paying 🤣

slack is really good, as long as teams doesn’t fuck with you a/v settings.

still not as good as zoom. but, fuck china.

sounds suspiciously like we work together. 🤔

well said malicebot9000!

And yes, people not voting are just trying to be left alone.

unfortunately as an adult you don’t get that luxury. if you want to be left alone, move to Uzbekistan and live in the mountains.

You’re advocating for violence against people who just want to go to work, have a beer on Friday, and feed their kids.

I’m advocating for violence against Nazis.

if they didn’t vote, who will know unless they tell. and if they tell, then they clearly want to incite, because by your definition, they “just want to go to work, have a beer on Friday, and feed their kids”. I don’t think anyone who wants that would even care enough to mention they didn’t vote, and in a few years they’ll be too ashamed to bring it up anyway.

So now not only do we have to vote, we also have to guess which one is the correct one with no communication.

If you have to guess which one is the bad one…

And you say there’s not a transitive power here but you keep describing a transitive power. Oh and you’ve called for violence against people who just want to be left alone.

No, I’m calling for violence against Nazis. Violence against actual Nazis is always acceptable.

I shouldn’t have to motivate you to vote, nobody should. If you’re not motivated to vote, then you accept the ramifications of your actions.

We’ll come back in six months to see how you’re feeling about it all. I’m feeling that you’re probably gonna have a great time though.

Oh I don’t like Nazis either. But his political campaign isn’t built on Hitler’s. It’s a pretty stock modern campaign that had better messaging propaganda than the Democrats. And before you accuse me of liking his messaging propaganda, he won the election. So it was better messaging propaganda.

fixed it. The fact that you’re calling it “messaging”, tells me all I need to know about you.

Calling everyone who doesn’t vote for the Democrats a Nazi just isn’t a winning message. That may seem weird to you but all everyone else hears is that you don’t know what a Nazi is, and you’re just throwing a word around.

I’m not calling anyone who didn’t vote for Democrat a Nazi. I’m calling anyone who didn’t perceive Trump as a fascist threat, and voted against the obvious choice, a Nazi. Either you understood the threat that Donald Trump poses to continuing American life as we know it, or you actively supported him being in power. There will no other options but Harris and Trump. There’s no gray area. It’s pretty black and white. You either vote against the fascist, or you support the fascist.

Especially this new transitive power of being a Nazi by doing nothing. Even in the aftermath of World War 2 you weren’t considered a Nazi without a party number.

Technically German citizens didn’t do anything for the rise of power of Hitler. People still make jokes about how Germans are Nazis. 99% of the population there wasn’t even alive for World War II. The shame was immeasurable and impacted Germany economically and psychologically as a culture. Why would there be shame if they weren’t ashamed of what they did? And if they were ashamed, that means they’re guilty. Guilty of what? Being a Nazi.

I wonder how the prisoners in the concentration camps after World War II felt when they went back home and their neighbors knew where they were and still they did nothing. Do you think that they… understood their neighbors weren’t Nazis? Do you think they cared? I don’t.

By the time you’re done accusing people of being Nazis by the transitive power, everyone, yourself included, will be a Nazi. After all, you might accidentally sit at a table with one and then poof, you magically get an evil fashion sense.

One does not “accidentally sit at a table of Nazis”. When you find out the table is Nazis, you fuck up the table.

Whenever I find out somebody’s a Nazi, I punch them in the face as hard as I possibly can. There’s no delay. There’s no guilt. Believe it or not, a fist straight to the face. Today, I’m proud to say, my daily life is 100% Nazi-free. I’m not sure how much longer I can keep this winning streak up though. You may willingly sit at a table with Nazis out of a sense of politeness, but I will burn that motherfucker down.

So no, there’s not a “transitive power” on Nazis. It’s pretty cut and clear. You either are a Nazi, or you are not. Like if you voted against fascism, or not.

He is a Nazi. Blonde-haired blue-eyed Nazi.

His political campaign is built upon Hitler’s rise to power. Not a 1:1, that’d just be fucking weird and obvious.

I’m not gonna argue semantics here with you. If you didn’t vote against a Nazi, you are a Nazi.

If you don’t speak out against Nazis, you’re a fucking Nazi.

Fuck Nazis.

See? That’s easy. How about you try?

It’s pretty simple.

1 + 1 = 2

If you didn’t vote for a Nazi, you aren’t a Nazi.

• you vote nazi = A
• you are nazi = B

!A == !B

The question is, did you vote for a Nazi?

ITT there’s a lot of people unwilling to accept the Democrats didn’t prove their case.

seriously, stop with this bullshit line.

if you can’t vote against a Nazi, then you are a Nazi.

well… it fuckin worked

i hope all those lefties that refused to vote feel really accomplished now.

congrats, guys! you did it!

you installed a fascist dictator!

why stop there, remove the head while you’re at it.

flat as a pancake.

you can fuck my dog

you can fuck my truck

but you fuck my flag and you’ll eat my butt!

hasn’t given me anything but grief, but they’ll have to come and take it.

My big thing is a new TV. We have a 46” LCD from 2009 that often refuses to fully power on. I’ve been dragging my feet on replacing it, just cuz I know the research is gonna be demoralizing, with how dystopian a lot of the “smart TVs” are. But now there’s some real time pressure, so I guess I have to.

check out commercial “pro” TVs. these are typically used for digital signage. they’re usually more expensive, but have a longer warranty time plus, no smarts! I bought the Samsung BE55T-H from Amazon. I think it came with a 3 year mfg warranty and I got the 3 year Amazon warranty that kicks in after mfg runs out.

I mostly use it as a monitor, but it has HDMI and DTV as well. I’m not a picky viewer so keep that in mind, even if it’s not pixel perfect 4k, it’s good enough for my uses.

you jest, but exotic cars will be a dime-a-dozen.

poor people with rich dreams can’t eat rubber.

as someone else said, plan for a long term(longer than four years). as for me I’m going to phase it out over three years to be reliant on the system as least as possible. the fourth year would hopefully be close to 80% self-reliant.

I’m planning on going all out on a garden next year. nothing fancy; potato, onion, carrot, tomato, squash (fall and winter), peas, string beans, misc herbs, sun flowers, maybe some corn(everybody grows it around here so bartering for some would be easy, besides corn is a pita to grow).

whatever I can’t dry, I’ll can.

my goal is to be at least 50-60% self sufficient after the first year. this should only require me to buy meat and seasonings mostly. then add on anything else I’ll need.

consumables like TP and tissues can’t really be stocked reliably as they degrade over time due to humidity.

I’ll also be stocking up on common medications for my kids for at least the four years. the last time we went through this there were many product recalls. this time there’s talk of defunding the FDA/CDC. I can only imagine the chaos parents will be in when a pandemic sweeps through again and you can’t even trust the medicine anymore. common things like cold/flu, fever reducers, epi-pens. (if you plan on doing this, don’t be a dick and buy everything at once. take a third so others can still get what they need and get more next week).

I also plan on stocking up on slingshot rubbers and maybe some more ammo. There’s a lot of wildlife around me that could either be eaten and/or used a fertilizer. I hope I’ll never need to resort to it, but would rather have it and hunt rather than not and starve. probably add some bow strings and arrows to the list for bigger game like deer.

I have kind of been planning for this for years so it’s not my first time doing this. my best advice, do anything you feel you can accomplish successfully. don’t waste time or resources growing food if you don’t have space for a garden (don’t experiment with hydroponics if you don’t have the time or resources to fail multiple times).

Find other ways to contribute to your community like; cleaning and maintaining weapons, fixing tools, home repair, technology/PC repair. anything you can do successfully will give you an edge that gives you an opportunity to barter for what you need, this includes credit in the community.

I once did tech support and one day someone couldn’t pay me. so they gave me some deer they had hunted recently. a year later that person called me and asked if I wanted a job making triple what I was making at my old job(not IT related). credit can’t be eaten, but it goes a long way and is indispensable.

stay strong, be smart, we’ll get through this yet.
