YouGov poll: Top reason Biden 2020 voters sat out the 2024 election was Israel’s genocide in Gaza. The discussion is over. Save these images to use them every election until the Zionist entity is gone
  • Surprising no one. We must conclude that the Biden Administration intentionally decided that arming and funding a genocide was worth losing the presidency.

  • AI Subtitles Are Coming to VLC— Get Ready!
  • Yup. Easy uninstall otherwise.

  • What are the essential strategy JRPGs?
  • Bahamut Lagoon is still one of the best written games ever. Find a translation if you need to. It's wonderful

  • Trump gets no jail time or penalties in sentence for hush money conviction
  • If the penalty for a crime you were caught and convicted of doing is literally nothing, then it would be foolish to not be a criminal

  • California stopped doing backburning (part of fire prevention) in October to “preserve resources”
  • This, but for basically every for-profit insurer for the past five years. Anyone with insufficient reserves now should be nationalized because clearly their for-profit model is useless.

  • California stopped doing backburning (part of fire prevention) in October to “preserve resources”
  • "Resources." They didn't want to pay to do the work so that citizens will bear 100% of the risks and costs even though they already paid for it. We'll also have to pay to bail out the insurance companies that I guarantee will cry that they don't have large enough reserves despite historic stock buybacks and dividends in the industry.

    A failure on so many levels.

  • Trump refuses to rule out military force to acquire Greenland and the Panama Canal
  • Don't think it's intentional. It's challenging to try to take a better picture of a bag of shit

  • What are the best newbie distros nowadays?
  • Seconded for manjaro. It's the only distro I tried recently (fedora, endeavor, Ubuntu, opensuse) that got the Nvidia drivers correct right away without any trouble. Solid distro

  • Fantasy books with an interesting "soft magic" system?
  • A few years ago, I devoured the Ascendant series by K Arsenault Rivera. Basically a soft magic universe based on Mongolian and Chinese mysticism set in a different world, but the parallels are pretty obvious. The main focus is the sapphic romance between the two leads, but It does a good job of mixing world building, epic battles and military maneuvers, demons and magic, and relationships. I highly recommend it.

  • [Not the Onion] A symbolic start to the year 2025.
  • AP is now reporting gas canisters and fireworks were stuffed in truck. I still feel like waiting for evidence instead of reacting is a good lesson to take from the explosion expert. We are going to have A LOT of events like this in 2025 with a fascist actively encouraging stochastic terrorism in charge. We need to find a way to understand in a way that won't drive us insane.

  • [Not the Onion] A symbolic start to the year 2025.
  • I asked a retired EOD mate and he kinda shrugged and said not to trust any of the knee jerk takes until a forensics team has had a chance to investigate. Explosions happen faster than your eyes can see and anything at this point is just a guess.

  • Thank God no CEOs were harmed
  • 'Terrorist' is a label only for crimes that do not give the ruling class a hard on.

  • USA is a silly country
  • I found it interesting that people are filming a bright, glowing thing seemingly intentionally designed to be visible at night and think, "SPY drone."
