Burlington should’ve been the capital.

No. And we’re going to have even more tech-illiterate old buffoons in offices where they’ll understand even less technology but they’re great at destroying things. So, they’ll happily line the pockets of ComCast, AT&T, Verizon and they’ll do fuck all to improve customer experience. In fact, if things go their way, they’ll bring back the idea of forcing you to choose whether you want to pay premium for high speed internet including the ridiculous limits already in place. That or they’ll give you the slow-lane subscription while talking down to you about having to pay so little to get so little and their data caps is even more restrictive, never mind how little you’ll be able to actually do on the slow lane.

Isn’t it wonderful?! /s

My poo tells me that it’s there and that my liver and bodily functions are working. That’s all.

I prefer TPB AFK. Since all founders were involved in that one. Why make a TV show based on TPB?

I’m staying on Windows 10 until Microsoft somehow pulls it’s head out of it’s ass with Windows 11. It’ll take things like Steam completely dropping support of Windows 10, which will honestly happen one day because Valve slapped all of the faces of those when they promised that they would keep Steam running for old Windows down to XP. It’ll take them dropping support entirely for me to consider Windows 11 and even by that point, I’ll just go Linux fully.

The thing is - we shouldn’t have had to do that. Maybe alternatively, but not primarily.

Microsoft’s problem with Windows 8, was how they got a hair up their ass by being obsessed with mobile technology. Tablets and Phones specifically. That they decided in their ‘infinite wisdom’, to infect desktops with a theme and performance that honestly was more suited for mobile devices.

I am still so glad that when I lived in KY for a few years, that I helped vote him in during mid-terms.

I would put Firefox on the very last door. Firefox has been a gradual process.

When they turned their popular base plan of $7 into a Base Plan but with ads. With fucking ads.

The day Microsoft bought it.

Man I remembered some silly people who said “They aren’t going to make us have to use Microsoft accounts to still play!”.

Boy, did Microsoft did in fact do that.

We said goodbye to that since Windows 8. Windows has been shit since Windows 8.

WWII has been over for almost 80 years. And that era ending with the reputation that America had been carrying since from it, died the day 9/11 happened. Ever since then, America has been struggling, scrambling and trying to come to grips with it’s identity. Something that’s just been treated as just a huge power struggle, a power struggle of extreme petty matters between two parties. But one party in particular that for every election cycle and terms handed to, have been outright sabotaging what it meant to be America.

And it hasn’t gotten any easier. The problem is, is that the candidates of what you seek for a replacement, is very very narrow. There are few superpowers in the world that could do it, the problem is, is that those superpowers are China, Russia and USA. I know there are others and right now if I had to pick a replacement, I’d pick Sweden since they still care about humanitarianism. If we can unite Germany, Sweden and maybe the UK, those combined could replace USA.

…Again.

Good luck trying to essentially end one of the biggest industries that’s partly in contributing on keeping the country going.

But that’s like what’s already been happening. It’ll just be business as usual.

Which might be a blessing in disguise? I mean, for the ISPs that have been actively fighting corporate interests from telling them what to do. With no governmental branch telling them what to do and not wanting to lose many subscribers lest they risk going out of business, then isn’t that a net positive?

I’m reminded of HowToBasic.

All that guy does, is ruin food. Literally. His thumbnails will be “How to make a cake” for example and into the video, he’ll just destroy shit.

And that got him lots of views and subscribers. How is that…content?

“God damn queers…” They probably think, as they sit their fat old asses on their couches downing their 20th beer can.

Yup. We’re going to have this going on for 4 years.

Racists are going to target Blacks, Hispanics, Asians with racial slurs and more.

Xenophobes will antagonize immigrants and other people of ethnic backgrounds.

Bigots will target LGBTQ as usual.

Yeah, wonderful…

You’ve reminded me about the 2026 primaries. If anything is to go right, it’ll soften the blow of what we’re going to be dealing with between January of next year up until that election. The mid-terms will be interesting and hopefully, some voters will be paying attention enough to make things tolerable.
