The cruelty is the point.

Trump is trying to hold the poorest people hostage to get Democrats to cave.

I hope to see video clips of Trump clutching his chest in agonizing pain and collapsing.

Yes, there is. The problem is that the rich hoard resources, like a dragon sitting on a pile of gold. This is a feature of capitalism.

I have an Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop that is currently not being used. Would that be good? Overkill? Under powered?

I use Debian for my main distro for my personal laptop. Would that be good? Should I have stable or a rolling release?

Is there anything special that I need to do on my home network setup? Create a DMZ perhaps?

This is my first self hosted project, so any information or advice is appreciated.

That's all red states.

I fucking hate American healthcare.

Someone at my son's pediatrician office let slip that his Covid/flu combo test would've only cost $50 if they wouldn't have run it through insurance.

Naturally, I asked why they didn't just call and tell me that before they ran it through insurance so I could have saved some money.

Her response was "because that would be defrauding the insurance company."

I blew the fuck up on her. To this day, that bill for like $259 for a Covid/flu test hasn't been paid.

If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't theft.

Sorry, no pictures of the underside. I was in a hurry and didn't have time. They shriveled up by the time I got back to them (a few hours later).

If scientists didn't have to pay obscene prices to view articles, those articles are cited more often. Who would have thought?

Universal Basic Income.

I've never been fooled by their claims of it being intelligent.

Its basically an overly complicated series of if/then statements that try to guess the next series of inputs.

Someone used it for making bullets. Selling it without disclosure was quite irresponsible of them.

MAGA shit, thin blue line, black US flag, etc...

In case a civil war actually happens, it's good to know the enemy.

Sounds like shooting cops preemptively would be self defense...
