What does obsessing over it every day and complaining on the Internet constantly do though? It not like Trump and his goons are gonna see all the comments y’all are making and suddenly change their minds. If there is something tangible you can do to make change absolutely do it, but letting it ruin your daily life is just letting them win.
Y’all do whatever you want. Your choice how you spend your energy.
You guys are acting like Trump is going to be driving around in a tank gunning down people that didn’t vote for him.
By and large your life will not change much day-to-day. The worst thing you can do is give energy to something you cannot control. You voted and it doesn’t work out. Now you focus on your daily happiness and don’t try to let the big picture drag you down. There not much you can do about it anyway. May as well invest that energy into having something positive instead of dread.
Don’t tankies struggle with basically all reasoning? Abstract or otherwise?
Yeah they can work on older homes but I find they tend to work better in newer construction
Mesh networks are pretty hard to beat. Especially for houses with walls that aren’t kind to wifi.
I have never had that issue. I would have been very curious to try and trouble shoot that. Was it older house? Plugged in near the microwave?
If your house was built after 2000 (or has updated wiring) you might wanna look into Ethernet over power. The kits are usually less than 50 bucks (depending on the speeds you’re using) and they allow you to hardline your computer without running a cable across the entire house.
The way they work is by plugging a parent box directly into the wall near your router you can run a short Ethernet to the box and then plug in the sister box near your gaming rig and run another short Ethernet from the wall to your computer. It basically just uses the copper wires of the house wiring to transfer the data.
There are some exceptions to be aware of. If you have a particularly large house the speeds might suffer over a long enough run. Or if they have the internet on an entirely different breaker panel it won’t work.
I am currently using one at my house. The wire gives me better ping, but slightly lower total download speed. So if I’m downloading a big game or something I’ll just unplug the Ethernet at let it download faster over wifi and then I switch back to wired for gaming.
Well if you’re able to converse with them in their native tongue then I don’t understand the problem. You should be able to talk to them just fine.
This is the answer. You don’t need to become fluent or learn to read it. Just conversational so you can at least partially participate in conversations around them.
Everyone thinks it should have been Bucky. I fucking love Anthony Mackie but he just doesn’t feel right in that role to me.
My extended family is German and British. I am well aware how the gypsies are thought of by many over there.
I have lost track of how many times I have brought up gypsies when they are taking about how racist Americans are and then suddenly “it’s different”. They literally don’t even look at it the same way. That’s some wild shit.
Sadly I don’t think that’s ever going to happen. The unfortunate reality is that both forms of extremism tend to slowly pull at people from the center over time. Even if we got a group of moderates around someone would get mad and get pushed one way or another more. And thus the cycle repeats.
It’s the classic “what radicalized you” meme. All of us are extremists in one way or another. We just haven’t had something push us over the edge yet.
The prison industrial complex and traditional slavery are two completely different beasts. I am not trying to take away from the very current and real problem with our country and its prison system, but this conversation is more talking about the good old-fashioned type of slavery that we abolished in 1865.
We ended our slavery (aside from the prison industrial complex, but that’s kinda a different animal to “traditional” slavery) over 100 years ago. There are still many places in the world with slavery today that people seem less interested in talking about than our historical slavery.
I’m not trying to downplay our history but we can’t exactly change the past. But we can put eyes on the current slavery going on but we often don’t because people are still focusing on our old slavery. There’s a real “America bad” boner on the Internet and it’s always a little funny to me. Like yeah we are far from perfect, but it’s a little weird to be shitting on us for something we ultimately stopped doing while other places are still actively doing it.
I’ve pretty much given up and just let Google have everything. I know that’s an unpopular opinion around here and I totally get it, but I just can’t be fucked to try and peel Google outta my life.
I got sorta yelled at on here for “only attacking the left” and I was like… I can’t attack people who aren’t around now can I?
I have seen like one or two "right"comments in the sea of lefty circle jerkin that’s permeated this entire site. It really is as abundant as oxygen around these parts.
I’m still gonna stick around and attempt to engage in meaningful discussions from time to time, but I have already had comments deleted and been banned from subs for saying very normal and accurate things. Now I’m not surprised that I was banned from the Vegan sub instantly, but still. The mod abuse and censorship here seems even worse than reddit which is honestly kinda impressive.
It is always funny when other places shit on America for our history of slavery. Like Koreans for example. They had the longest unbroken chain of slavery of any modern society and yet you’ll still have some of them trying to say Americans are the worst because of our history of slavery.
It’s like… All places in the world had (or still have) slavery going on. Why does the Internet seem to think we were the worst offenders???
I know enough to drive my car into Google headquarters soon.
For legal reasons that is a joke and I have no intentions of driving my vehicle into the Google buildings.
Yeah idk. The mindset and mental health of the majority of this site are quite concerning to me. it is what it is I suppose.
