  • This is unfortunately the world of open-source.

    1. Nerd tells you to use the open-source thing.
    2. Non-technical tries it and asks questions
    3. Nerd proclaims it’s not a real problem/your fault/not applicable/fix it yourself
    4. Some company takes that open-source version or idea, makes it easier for end users and monetize it
    5. Nerd gets angry and repeats step 1

  • Absolutely this.

    This is going to sound awful coming from a person who voted for Kamala. But when Trump wanted something, he pushed forward and gave zero fucks who he burned. Trump wanted a wall, and then there’s a wall. Granted, it’s shitty, it’s expensive and an eyesore, and it does absolutely nothing and no Democrats voted for it (that I’m aware of). But to the stupids, they see it as a win.

    Democrats fight for a policy, and then carve it over and over to appease corporations, billionaires, conservatives, and anybody who might feel threatened by it. And to those who could really benefit, they suffer. So yeah, I can see why people would shrug at giving a vote for Kamala.

    Again, I voted for her. But in reality, I want a candidate who will go, “Listen motherfuckers. All kids in America will get fed. Suck my dick if you hate it. Every single kid will get a sandwich and if you speak again, will destroy you.”


  • I want to comment that you nailed so many valid points.

    I know a lot of people don’t want to hear this, and I know what I’m about to say sounds racist as hell. But Obama was a fluke and America in general is just not willing to elect a minority again.

    This one, I don’t think I agree that it was a fluke.

    Democrats are continuing to let the loudest crybabies take over the room. And then compromise. Conservatives are right on one thing: the message that Kamala put out to their people was, “You don’t want to vote for a fascist.” Which doesn’t resonate with them. What they instead saw was a person who was going to keep things the same.

    Can a minority run again? Absolutely.

    But only stop catering to the status quo and bowing down to companies. Do Bernie Sanders shit.




  • The US will continue ticking. Money keeps flowing, and greed will continue running rampant.

    As someone making bank and based on the projections, the Trump tax changes are going to pay well. Anyone making less than $100k, or living off of social security or retirement are going to really suffer.

    The Trump tax breaks are going to fund a future international trip. And poor folks will starve.

    Btw I voted for Kamala. And America voted for a old dude who struggles to form sentences.



  • Luckily the House of representatives have set up the rules such that they can call to change their majority leader whenever they disagree with each other, so very few actual policies will change.

    A bunch of things did get changed during the last presidency because of the Republican majority.

    Healthcare, internet privacy, hell even how mail got delivered.

    If it’s not from policy changes, it’s from gutting the department and putting in cronies willing to sabotage the industry. You brought up environment policies, yeah those are gonna die.
