Excellent summary of the internet’s potential for both help and harm. At this point, I’m not convinced the net result isn’t negative.

Depends. Some countries are easier to immigrate to than others. Ireland is pretty easy, if you have relatively recent Irish ancestry. Personally, I’m looking into Canada.

You just explained precisely why I’m working on a plan to get out. This country is no longer safe for my family.

Maybe when Florida is completely uninhabitable for large chunks of the year, some Floridians will start to wonder if maybe there was something to what all those egghead scientists have been saying.

Nah. It’ll still be the Democrats’ fault. Somehow.

She did. A lot. You weren’t listening. You were too busy trying to both-sides this shit.

You got Trump. Congrats.

They won’t. There’s no point. The Trump SCOTUS will throw anything they do out. The only thing that Biden could do is use the powers SCOTUS granted the presidency to round them up, throw them in a gulag, and declare the election null and void. And he won’t do that.

Not yet. Not for a little while. First, a few things have to happen:

• When the Department of Education is obliterated and schools nationwide collapse, it will also cause economic turmoil, because a lot of MAGA idiots work for federally-funded school systems in red states. They just voted to have themselves fired.
• The inevitable nationwide ban on abortion will kill a lot of women who believed it wouldn’t happen and voted for him - despite how much he bragged about killing Roe.
• Measles, mumps, and rubella will all make startling comebacks as vaccination plummets. Seriously guys, get vaccinated while you can. Oh, and COVID-19 is going to have a massive resurgence once RNA-based vaccines are banned in the United States.
• With the purging of civil servants from the FBI, the IRS, and various other letter agencies, we’re going to have a giant, stupid government staffed primarily by incompetent sycophants. Expect actual, productive work associated with any of them to grind to a halt. Expect the FBI to expend resources needlessly investigating whoever Trump hates at the moment. Expect the IRS to make mistakes that aren’t in your favor, and you can’t do anything about.
• Infrastructure week will forever be in the future, while actual infrastructure will be falling apart due to lack of funding. This problem will be felt the most in red areas, despite efforts to punish blue ones for voting for Harris.
• If you receive health care through the Affordable Care Act and you’re MAGA, you’ll be very surprised to learn that “Obamacare” was another name for it, and that you’ve just lost your health care. [insert “congratulations, you played yourself” meme here]
• You think things are expensive now? The inevitable flood of tariffs, with no adults in the room to tell Trump it’s a stupid idea, will jack your prices up enormously. If you thought COVID-19 inflation was bad, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
• The deeply, deeply stupid MAGA people who believed that Trump would leave their LGBTQ+ friends - well, former friends - alone will find out the hard way that voting to remove people’s rights is a good way to make them disown you.

After things are going really, really badly, and there are only Republicans in government to blame, a few will begin waking up and realizing they’ve been had.

And by then, it will be too late.

This is exactly what I was saying months ago. And it’s absolutely going to happen now. The entire region is going to plunge into chaotic war, and Putin couldn’t be happier.

No they fucking didn’t.

I’m sure my LGBTQ+ kids can see the difference. Why can’t you?

Yup. With the high likelihood that Republicans get the trifecta, this country is about to become a lot more dangerous for my kids, both LGBTQ+, because dipshits believed that a “businessman” whose businesses all fail is good for the economy.

Why the hell is anyone still storing actual passwords, even encrypted ones, in 2024? They should only be storing hashes and a salt that’s only retrievable on the backend.

Edit: I stand corrected. Newsweek is just doing its usual shit job of reporting. They should know better than calling hashed passwords “encrypted” passwords.

Dies Murdered

Fixed the headline.

You have got to be kidding.

What the actual fuck.

Is he a recruit from the WWE or something?

Do you have the fwupdmgr app? On Lenovo laptops, I think you can just use sudo fwupdmgr update.

Thanks. Nice to see some good news for once.

Given IDF’s less-than-stellar behavior so far, I’m going to remain skeptical until we know for sure that the aid workers in the rest of the convoy are alive and well.

Yes, but… I mean, it is being used for all of that.

Russia vows to shoot them down

With what?
