I’m a farmer, rancher, and dairyman. The meat packing monopoly is a massive problem for decades now, and a huge reason for problems on both the producer and consumer sides. However, I fucking know for a fact that if trump all of the sudden starts talking about your industry, buckle up. He’s gunna fuck it up in the dumbest way imaginable.

It is kinda nice to finally see my red hatted neighbors getting pissed off at the administration though.

Yeah my house plants are also victims in this situation. They literally destroy everything I love.

I tried putting chili oil on the cables and now I’m convinced that my cats could eat the most potent of Indian food and remain unscathed.

I think they crave it now…

I just want to know how to make them stop with the cable chewing. I’ve repaired or replaced so many electronic cords. I’m losing my mind.

I’m learning that I am not a cat person.

You can still have it! Check out the square home launcher for android.

I had jokes. I still had jokes when I finally figured it out thanks to the comments. I don’t need another burner account. If I made my jokes, I would absolutely have another burner account.

I’m not a bad person, I say bad things sometimes. I’m trying to be better.

I find that aluminum is the best medium for trial and error because even though it is somewhat expensive, it’s easy on the bits. And that is important regardless of the bulk material costs.

Check out @airplanefactswithmax on the social medias. He’s an airplane mechanic that always starts talking about airplanes, and it always devolves into a way too in depth lesson in lotr. Seems right up your alley!

Now tell me about a very specific part on a commercial airliner.

Oh that is my new most hated song. Wow

We’re going back boys!

There may be a little bit of a scale difference between the two, as abhorable as both situations are.

Allegedly

Some people hold family relationships above politics. If that’s not for you, that’s fine. But it’s not a wild idea or unreasonable. It’s just a different way of dealing with a political/family dynamic and what you find more important.

To be fair, my own granny died thinking I was still a card carrying Republican. Sometimes you don’t tell Grandma you are a godless liberal. The old folks don’t really need to know everything. Christmas gets kinda awkward if you do.

Hollow point rifle rounds are absolutely a thing. I know this because I have a box of them at home. 30.06 hollow point is a common offering you can get basically anywhere.

I mean it’s an absolutely ridiculous thing to say. He should get flack for how patentedly stupid that comment was. But probably not fired.

We have officially hit the point where radio waves are the devil. As a lora nerd and a ham operator, it’s funny that the public is starting to catch on to all this.

It’s like the microchips in the COVID vaccine thing. Why would bill gates and the ghost of Steve jobs try to sneak all this into your life when they already got paid 800 bucks for you to own a smartphone?!? You already did it!

This is just a part of normal infrastructure now and your Amazon echo is way more useful to them than whatever conspiracy theory is getting cooked up about this shit.

Hell most of it is horribly implemented and borderline useless even if you had the explicit intent to be evil with it. Ffs

I’m already getting blasted with ads for the heir apparent to replace Beto here in Texas. Some baby faced compromise that the Texas DNC has picked because of the fucking algorithm or something. Useless bastards all of them. All the Dems in deep red that I know are watching with waited breath for mamdami to win so we can use it as an actual example of what real policy ideals and ‘fuck the DNC’ effort can be. It’s a thousand miles away but that’s what we fucking need to show that these basic ass milquetoast candidates don’t work. Ann Richards hasn’t been relevant for thirty years but they keep trying the same goddamn thing. Fingers crossed they figure it out eventually.

You are probably right. But from personal experience with both of the people who admitted they were wrong, the huge dose of humble pie they ate to ever admit to me, that’s takes real effort. One sees it in his pocketbook. He may forget. The other sees it after a solid dozen of his employees have been deported after ice raids. He’s hurting in his pocketbook and in the personal relationships he has built with his employees.

To be fair I’ve told these people that all farmers should be voting dem across the board, quite militantly, for years now. But guns and “Jesus” made them think I was a madman. I know and understand who’s blood and sweat our tiny world is built on,and finally they are starting to understand it. I hope it is a lesson that sticks. I’ll be doing my damned best to make sure it does.

These are people that have fallen for propaganda. Decades of it. They aren’t bad. They are just stupid for not paying attention. We can fix that. Call it out but please don’t forget your empathy. I’m having a hard enough time as it is.

I’m a farmer. I warned my neighbors. I’ve had two hardcore trumpers walk up to me nowon two separate occasions now and tell me to my face “you were right”

I took no victory lap when either of them admitted it. The fact they admitted it was mind-blowing in and of itself. I didnt think they could ever be broken to admit it.

My response, “we’ve got three more years of this bullshit”.

We’re all in this together. But now you fucking understand.

After I set up my server and paid for the hardware, after my vpn, and after I paid for my Usenet subscription, and yeah, after I paid for lifetime Plex. I’m money ahead. Easily.

I have no Netflix, Hulu, apple, Amazon. All of it. ,that’s a monthly sub for each. That’s satellite tv money each month!

It’s not a rug pull. I got my money’s worth. And I’m late to the game. God forbid you are an early bird and have been living the high life for years and years! It’s not a rug pull at all.

If the whole thing folded tomorrow, I’m still money ahead and a few steps away from adopting jellyfin. How the fuck is that a rug pull? It did what I wanted and has done it well. And when or if it fails, I move on. That’s more resiliency than 99 percent of the other services I have used. And a better service and platform to boot!

Rug pull? seriously?
