Politics
Can't impeach a president for dropping bombs on brown people, locking up and trying children, hitting turbo on filling the air with carbon or slashing food stamps when wages are stagnant. Or, you know, being a literal rapist.
But you can impeach a president over some shit about Ukraine and Hunter Biden.
This is such unmitigated nerd shit. This is ruling class solidarity nonsense. This is kayfabe. This has nothing to do with me.
@body like I happen to like yoga, but the specifics aren't the big deal here. when people do the Let's Bond Over What Media Commodities We Both Consume thing I'm like. I don't really like movies... or TV. or podcasts. can't really do longform fiction anymore. nope, not into superheroes,
as of the latest windows 10 update, w10 home users can no longer opt to use a local account, microsoft accounts are mandatory
...unless you disconnect from the internet before starting the installer, in which case the supposedly removed option is back again

@Absolutely_Blakely my cat is actually damaged by forcing people to be a bit like "if you have for real
"this author never mentions that his father and mother ever had sex so they were probably just platonic friends"
murder, fugitive millionaire
AcAfee is like, if Mavis Beacon were real and on an active crime spree.
However Mavis Beacon is 1. Fictional and 2. an angel sent from heaven
whereas Mr. McAfee is 1. nonfictional and 2. a tax-evading millionaire murderer who wanted to run for president on a cryptocurrency platform
murder, fugitive millionaire
Having a brand of major security software named after John McAfee in 2019 is fucking wild.

@bodega Too real
Car discourse
Not got much to say other than I feel "ban cars" and the subsequent backlash shows the need for us to not try to compress politics down into as small a soundbite as possible. Like, I doubt anyone saying "ban car" wants all cars gone tomorrow without properly implementing public transportation everywhere. But, the nature of politics today is to have compressible soundbites, so even "ban cars *after we get good public transport*" is too much to say.
Trans, guy of center, well over 18.
I'm in tech and it feels weird.
