I mean, at this point, they’re not entirely wrong. We can’t count on this obscenely broken system to save us by “voting harder” like we’ve been doing for 3 solid decades with nothing but things getting worse and corporate democrats barely fighting back against the worst excesses of the Bush and Trump administrations (and frankly being part and parcel to the worst excesses of the Clinton administration).

It’s time to follow the lead of groups like the Black Panthers. They understood the assignment. We cannot count on a system designed to be anti-democratic with anti-democratic institutions like the Senate existing to actually resemble a functioning democracy. We have to turn to Mutual Aid and helping one another.

I get it, a lot of those Trump voters would be shitty candidates to bring into Mutual Aid groups, but their broken cynicism is part of being left behind politically for decades coupled with lack of education. Some of them may still be redeemable and find their skills valuable in Mutual Aid and may start to grow in positive ways that they themselves would have never dreamed.

The citizen observers watching ICE are by and large average citizens, they are not our politicians, who more likely sit in comfy warm offices while the citizens freeze their asses off trying to protect one another. That’s the reality, is even though we have a handful of good politicians fighting for us, they are fighting within a broken non-functioning system. That is not their fault and that does not mean their fight is pointless, but we cannot expect them to do the fight alone, we also must protect and support each other… and that means trying to find the least shitty Trump supporters and bring them into the community fold.

Well, looks like we got ourselves a reader!

Someone who sucks because the second half doesn’t even fucking rhyme. Like that’s the best you could do?? You’d be second in a poetry competition/rap battle as well.

The slaves for sure, but it also creates a situation where the powerful may not be giving enough food to their security forces, and their security forces turn on them, joining the slaves in outright rebellion.

Not that this will bring more food in, but it could result in some of those “powerful” people suddenly not being so powerful.

Security through obscurity isn’t security.

There goes my excuse for not giving up and just paying for Unraid.

If you have a quality PC, I always promote emulation over hardware, just because modern PC hardware can do things like let you play old games at higher resolutions and framerates.

Also, if you want to use those Wavebirds on PC, you can use receiver for them in something like this:

I like hacking the old systems, but I have more fun hacking them than actually continuing to game on them since using my PC and streaming the games to other screens is just more flexible for my needs.

Dolphin is really solidly built at this point, it’s one of the most well put together emulators there is, imho.

FUCK YEAH

I’ve only been pirating Nintendo games since the Wii era. When they released the Wii and stopped providing support for the old consoles they were dead to me. Before that I was able to get my NES serviced for $35 at Nintendo of America in Redmond, Washington and that included new parts and my games all getting cleaned.

I did find a 3DS on the side of the freeway once, but I firmware hacked it and loaded up a 128gb SD card with about 60 pirated games.

Yet Nintendo games will still never go on sale and Nintendo will charge more for worse quality controllers than any other company in the business.

Second verse, same as the first.

Oh no, “criticism!” Unless we do far more than criticizing these fuckers, it’s just business as usual. They need to be ejected from their seats in government.

You don’t make history by selling quality copper or following through on a deal, that’s for sure.

Yeah these chucklefucks aren’t talented enough to build that shit. Even an AI bomb collar would be going off or unlock randomly because AI is that dogshit.

Oh just now it’s a mockery of American democracy? I’ve been feeling pretty mocked for a 25 years now, ever since 9 fucking 11 and shit like “three hops,” Room 641A, the creation of the DHS, and the creation of the 4th amendment crushing TSA.

This just in folks, the government has been wiping it’s ass with the constitution probably since Reagan at least.

If all your squad mates are queers and leftists it’s not like you’re in it alone, either. They just gave a whole squad of you weapons and training…

Because sending people who hate war to go to war is going to work out absolutely swimmingly, I’m sure. You definitely won’t have people constantly going AWOL or refusing orders or, god forbid, organizing as a unit after they’ve been given weapons and training to kill their superior officers and take the base on home soil for their own.

These people are fucking morons asking for the worst possible outcomes.

Because there isn’t a justification, Hakeem, you dimwitted fucking moron.

Democrats like this guy are literally less than useless. With friends like these who needs enemies.

If you think blocking access to knowledge about sexuality, atheism, or drugs is actually protecting children and not about a controlling and unpopular law I don’t know what to tell you. Because it’s clearly not actually intended to protect children as much as it is to block inconvenient information to help indoctrinate children to be compliant and unquestioning.

The Saudis and others are already considering pulling investments from the stock market in the USA to safe places due to this war.

Couple that with Iran potentially targeting important infrastructure in Saudi Arabia and the UAE such as desalination plants, which could cripple them domestically and we’re looking at a recipe for the US stock market tanking and the AI bubble bursting as it can no longer be floated by wealthy middle eastern investment.
