I really think this is all the result of putting news behind a paywall, while lies and propaganda are widely and freely disseminated.

We’re fucked.

Almost three in four 😐

this is how he operates… he denies, then jokes, then encourages others to joke, then when they do he gets serious, then act like everyone was always serious.

this man will NEVER willingly give up a shred of power.

We have two corporate parties, the status quo and the controlled opposition. They occasionally switch labels but until we get the corporate out, we will never have a real choice.

You know, I was going to think up a funny reply for this one but in truth, in 40something years, I’ve only seen the man cry twice. He is not someone who likes to display emotion (except for anger).

So no, only weak men cry?

It’s all wrapped up with a beautiful bow, the biggest, best bow ever, people are saying that, a bow like you’ve never seen before, everyone knows there is no better bow in terms of wrapping.

says you, but he’ll beat that cancer with the ivermectin, I’m sure of it…

I’ll DM you his number, you guys can rule the world together.

Not all of them. Just got off the phone with my dad where he was celebrating the successful effort to curb waste fraud and abuse. apparently this was all bidens fault and thank god we have trump to guide us through to prosperity. now, I just need to put my paycheck into crypto and I’ll be one of the new lords of this coming age…

thank god, was beginning to worry after checking on my 401k…

Feel like these days it’s “do unto others what you imagine others would to do unto you.”

America, by far, and that’s from someone living here. I’ve been to England, France, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, Czech Republic, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Iceland, Mexico, Bahamas, British Virgin Islands, Canada, and probably a couple others I can’t remember. I’ve been treated nothing but friendly, with genuine curiosity, even when I shouldn’t have been.

Every day in the US, someone swears at me.

Goddamn, been working since the late 90’s. Never figured my social security would pay out so I’ve been diligently following the path I have available. Seems like that is in the process of being stolen now too.

30 years planning for my future, looks gone now.

ha, of course my t-deck plus just arrived today…

Champagne prices would skyrocket.

Don’t forget, his own wife is a dei import, dude can’t find himself a good American woman so he’s got to outsource. Irony is dead.

I just got a job with an EU company, doing business through acquisition in the US. I don’t report to anyone in my office, or even this country. I’m building the US infrastructure based on the designs coming from the EU and integrating with their cloud.

Was an intentional move to get employed by a non-us based employer, but so far I think I really lucked out.

This will 1000% lead to some horrible bullshit when fsd inevitably plows into something it failed to see and a subsequent lawsuit against the victim…

Very limited so far. I don’t have much near me but there has been enough sproradic connectivity that I pick up the occasional chatter in the default channel and have about 145 nodes it’s aware of.

Mostly been my son and I playing around. He wants to get his neighborhood friends involved :).

I’m building services out for my family as things enshittify. Moved the family over to an immich instance, run a family blog on Wordpress (working on rolling my own since it’s over complicated and with all the Wordpress shenanigans…), plex (lifetime account, works for now). I have a number of self-built projects as well, a “momboard” like system that is integrated with my Wordpress blog for access and control, a pi based backup server that lives at my friends house and nails a VPN connection to my router and I’m playing with Meshtastic as an offline communication system for my kids scout troop when we’re camping without cell signal. Lots of home automation with home assistant as well.

I host it all on Debian servers, raspberry pi’s and esp32 devices (Meshtastic and home automation). I used to run kubernoodles but it was more complicated than needed and for my use case, docker, ansible and bash scripts manage it all just fine.
