Shit - I love "Commandos". Such a rad game.

I had to take a friend of mine to her colonoscopy today, and this was the first thing I saw when firing up lemmy after getting home. It’s like the universe is committed to trolling.

WTF is up with all the NSFW tags, and the massive ChatGPT-like spam?

The two main benefits I see are:

• A dedicated L2 switch is probably going to be faster when transferring between two connected clients
• You could set up VLANs, if you have a desire to. Not sure if your wifi router has that option.

Hey - you’ll get no argument from me that the Democratic party sucks, or that it’s owned by the same lobbyists that own Republicans. That being said, the differences you outlined when saying that there’s very little difference are big fucking differences.

Little difference, except their inept economic policies, and their absolutely shit social policies and refusal to accept climate change…

I don’t know, man. Sounds like some pretty fucking big differences to me.

Yeah. I was thoroughly disillusioned by what the DNC did to Bernie. Really pissed me off. Still voted for Hillary, though, because her opponent is a literal monster. I hate having to make that kind of choice every 4 years: “vote for the shitty candidate who will do very little, or vote for an actual piece of shit who will do everything in their power to strip all of the progress we’ve made in the 20th century”. It’s awful.

I can’t say one single fucking word about how the trials related to trump are a complete out of control purely political witchhunt

I mean, you can say that all you’d like. Just don’t be surprised when people judge you to be not very intelligent because of it. It is a profoundly dumb take, after all.

It’s funny to consider “love of country” to mean “the food, certain people, and beautiful landmarks”, while simultaneously condemning the actions of its government, and like half of the citizens who live there.

Not that I’m criticizing, mind. I struggled with this myself for a long time before finally coming to the realization that this country is like a problematic family. You’re told that you should love it even if you don’t like lots of aspects of it very much. Like an abusive parent.

I’m in my 40s now, and I’ve finally realized that that’s bullshit. I don’t love this country. I used to, but I’ve realized that I only ever loved the idea of this country while the reality has been a profound disappointment.

The barbecue is good, though. So that’s nice.

I mean, I’m a fuckin’ weirdo who loves both heat and humidity. So I’m not really the target audience for that particular argument. But I get that I’m a weirdo, and most people don’t like living in the desert or a swamp. Personally, I’m much more turned off by their politics than I am their weather.

Gotta go with what works for you. But as a fellow cishet middle-aged white engineer, you could not pay me enough money for me to want to move to Texas. Or Florida. Or most of the middle of the country. If I were in your shoes, I’d be out as soon as I had the means to leave.

Terrifying.

Correct. Well, conservatives aren’t exactly Nazis. They’re more like nazi fanboys. Still horrible bigots, but pathetic wannabe versions of the real thing.

From my perspective, the trans movement is teaching people to hate who they truly are and change themselves.

That’s probably because you’re a moron. You have no grasp on actual reality, and so you fabricate one that allows you to feel free to hate people who are different from you. You are, in essence, a piece of shit.

It’s because Nazis are supposed to be the bad guys, you fuckwitted twatwaffle.

For Frodo.

Another +1 for Arris. It’s been a rock-solid workhorse. I’m a big fan of them.

Even years after watching that episode, I will often meow back at my cat, and then say: “That’s you. That’s what you sound like.” in that robot voice.

To be fair, if enough snowflakes have a meltdown, you get a snowlake.

LOL - fair enough. I totally misinterpreted that. :D
