Something can’t hit you without showing itself before. Oracle takes it to the next level and tells you they’re coming before they destroy you. Vampires need to be invited.

It’s a muddy slope. Watch your step.

Because it’s not just Republicans that can push propaganda. There are pieces of shit on both sides. One just has the larger share.

You will not just accept, you will embrace. You will feel cold and empty when you taste freedom, for you will not understand it or know what to do with it.

If you press Alt-F4 it lets you see account emails.

I think you need to revisit a modern Debian 13.x distro. From install to hardware support with effortless kde plasma and a stable software level easily extensible with flatpak, it's what Ubuntu was 10 years ago.

Anyone who says to avoid it today, especially with the AI and rocm/cuda apt packages that just work out of the box, I'm convinced haven't considered it from an eager beginner perspective in recent form.

Get yourself the cheapest n150 box you can, the 4 port versions are good im case you decise to upgade and convert it to a fw later. Get a 4tb 2.5 ssd if you afford it and a chewp dual or more jbod external for safe backups.

Every year upgrade and stick to proxmox and opnsnese untill/unless you have reason otherwise.

The first case of lung cancer was (insert year), cigarettes weren’t introduced until (later year).

I’m not claiming Tylenol causes autism, but your logic isn’t disproving either.

Let’s use a school bully allegory to see how bad it is.

Big Bully has been stealing lunches and sitting on Little Billy since Big Bully moved into town. Little Billy kicks his shin and steals a nickel and hides it. Big Bully retaliates by pulling off Little Billy’s fingernail and promises to stop if he gets his nickel back. Little Billy complies; Big Bully continues pulling the next fingernail.

All of the teachers are watching horrified, but the superintended is Big Bully’s parent.

It must be like living in Idiocracy there.

RIP, his stream was always so easy to watch because of how good natured he was. Kramnik is a scumbag.

I’m starting to believe natural selection didn’t just get us to where we are, it kept us here.

The genetic variation in the human brain will lead to more and more good and bad variations generation after generation. Stupidity used to have deadly consequences, now it’s just poverty (or the White House).

Our society wants to be inclusive and accepting and liberating and safe, but what if that just doesn’t work with our current make? What if these mild deviations and mutations only progress forwards when the weak traits perish? We don’t have that mechanism anymore so weak and dangerous personality traits persist and continue to vote.

It’s a scary thought, but I can’t see anything wrong with the logic, especially observing how it’s taking hold across the globe.
