Yeah, let’s try voting for candidates who were born AFTER the Battle of the Bulge next time. None of the incumbents take their jobs seriously and they are way too comfortable in their phoney-baloney jobs.

We haven’t had an actual progressive President since Jimmy Carter and that was fifty YEARS ago.

I never said they were. That’s socialism not communism. And when I think of socialism, I think exactly of Scandinavian countries, not Soviet-era Russia.

It’s about understanding the difference between the dictionary definitions of “communism” and “capitalism” and how they are actually practiced in the real life.

One of them is a system where the super rich hoard all the wealth and use the news media they own to keep the poor and middle classes fighting with each other while they, the rich, run off with all the f*cking money.

“But wait a minute,” you ask. “Aren’t those the same thing” Yeah. Congratulations. You GOT it.

Game companies need to focus on making good games. Take “pride” in that.

Another vote for Linux Mint. Many Linux distros are available on bootable USBs, so you can try out Linux without messing with your Windows installation at all.

Being against genocide isn’t a “political position.” It’s called “being a decent human being” and you should be against it, no matter who is doing it to who.

Pointing out that Trump is the dumbest, cruelest president that has ever lived isn’t a "political position. " It’s called “using your fucking eyes and paying attention to what he’s doing.”

I could go on and on about “things that are more obvious than a sunrise being labeled ‘political positions’” but those 2 things could keep us busy for years.

Nothing wrong with pointing out when someone is being an idiot. They can go on being an idiot, but at least the truth is out in the open, where it needs to be.

If you work hard, you get nothing but more work.

When your support for a country is so blind and unconditional that you can support genocide.

Thanks, Microsoft, you spineless simps. Another reason I’m glad I switched to Linux.

“And I’m not paid enough TO care.”

Microsoft should be getting worried about Linux.

I have 3-4 older games, like Giants: Citizen Kabuto and Deus Ex that I run separately under Wine, using the default settings.

One of the ways to avoid a copyright strike is if you copy other people’s work, then what you upload must be “transformative” i.e. you have alter that source content significantly. Satire / Parody are two ways to do that.

But the cheapest, laziest way to “transform” content is to do reaction videos to it. And some people don’t even do that. They’ll just sit there, eating their dinner . . . occasionally glancing at the screen and going, “huh.” Lazy jerks.

Agree on Mint. The Nvidia drivers installed automatically for me. They’re 4-5 months old, but they’re stable.

You don’t get to define what evil is when you voted for the antichrist.

The Democrats suck but there’s a huge difference between voting for boring corporatists and 100% concentrated evil. Don’t make me tap the chart.

Your “friend” is an idiot. You should not share anything personal with her. This situation is NOT normal. Take a deep breath. Sit down and write out what’s going on between you and your dad. See if your state has a CPS website and find out what the process is for reporting abuse (and find out what they consider to BE abuse. I’m pretty sure deliberate starvation qualifies.).

Do you have any friends outside the home you trust and can stay with, short term? Cops aren’t going to be useful, here. They’re not CPS or mental health caregivers and they’ll probably just take you back home to your dad.

Capitalism today looks nothing like capitalism in the 1950s. Back then, a family could easily survive on the income of one person. With money left over to pay for college education, a car and a house.

That is not the situation today, where most Americans have NO retirement savings. Unless you’re redefining what capitalism IS, then that’s a problem caused by the people in charge (oligarchs).

A good sense of humor helps a lot. Also, if you want to avoid getting bogged down by nonsense, it’s a good idea to develop your critical thinking skills. That depends on having good sources of information that you trust.
