Mainland Europe stood aside as Putin invaded their backyard. This inaction was not lost on the American fascists. See where we’re at today?

(And I am not excusing America’s lack of action, but FFS, we can’t do it ALL. And certainly can’t now…)

Makes one wonder how much they planned this out. The Epstein files could picture Trump balls deep in a 13-yo girl, nothing would happen.

The fascists have larger goals in mind. They’re speed running WWII, trying to avoid the Nazi’s mistakes, so good so far. But like the Nazis, giddy over the lack of internal or external resistance, they’re biting off more than then can chew, way too fast. Cheap gasoline at the pumps only goes so far. They’re not energizing the whole economy like the Nazis did, people aren’t feeling it.

No idea what comes next. But the American Empire is over. Our economy is just too large to fall over quickly. But AI gives us hope! (Of crashing…) The Buffett Index is higher than either during the Great Depression or the 2008 recession. We have 200%+ more fake money in the stock market than our GDP. The cost will be staggering.

Can all y’all grow potatoes? I can, but I’m not very good at it.

Many have outlined Trump’s mafia-style speech. Like the truly wealthy, the mafia is a group he admires, was never allowed into, wants to imitate.

It’s so clear I want to scream. The US watched the man make a fool of himself in the 80s and 90s, he was tabloid trash. Even The Apprentice made fun of his bombastic nature, but apparently neither Trump not his fans were in on the joke.

If Europe had fought Russia over the Ukraine, this wouldn’t be on the table. It’s clear to the world Europe won’t fight, even to defend their own backyard, so here we are.

To be clear, I fucking hate it. I have been screaming for Europe to fight back since day one, all while it was clear America was half-assing the fight. But they didn’t, the fascists gauged the reaction, now they feel free to strike.

Well they can’t just come right out and say we want the warming, Artic shipping lanes and rare earth minerals.

Speaking of miles, there are miles of political capital between stomping brown people and mostly lifeless ice. I don’t think even the MAGA faithful would back an invasion against white people. Little too close to home, literally and figuratively. Hell, at that point even the General Staff may find a spine and refuse.

Sometimes you’re stuck running IIS or SQL Server or the like. Can’t think of anything personal I’d have to run on Windows Server, but commercial is another world. In any case, I always ran headless given the option.

I’ll ask you the same, do you believe people choose their attractions? Be very careful in your answer. If you say yes, then LGBT is a choice.

I have no clue what MAP is, but can you point to the words that hurt you?

We don’t get to choose who and what we are attracted to. 🤷🏻‍♂️ However, that does not absolve one of immoral actions.

Or do you believe attraction is a choice? You believe people have a choice to be gay or trans? You can’t have it both ways. Pick. One.

Now THAT’S a shower thought. I can’t think of a single athlete that’s crossed over so many decades.

And of course lemmy is spitting, hissing mad.

I was a teen in the 80s, a young adult in the 90s, and overall, America was pretty fucking nice, especially the Clinton years. With the benefit of hindsight you can say we should have fought for X, Y and Z, but we weren’t at war, starving or overrun by fascists. Was a 20-something young man to have foreseen today’s disastrous climate? I was partying and getting laid.

And I have never once in this heard of this, “working in the shadows” bullshit. None of us talk that way, never have, we embraced being disconnected slackers.

I want to add; MS actively discourages running Windows Server with a GUI. It’s meant to be headless and managed by PowerShell.

You’re likely thinking of CALs, and one is required for each person accessing the server. Licensing turns into a nightmare very quickly.

Not yet! Soon as we stabilize our hold on the Venezuelan oil fields, Greenland is next. Those are easy targets, not sure how bad it has to get before we would invade Canada. Also, not sure the cult leader can stay in power long enough, hence the fascism speed run.

Neat! Don’t think I have the energy to do much about it, but that’s a great site, thank you very much!

Get me up to speed! Guess I assumed she was yours all along?

Europe failed to fight the monster in their backyard, hence why we are where we are today.

You’re a child is you think this is the distraction. If anything, the Epstein files are the distraction. FFS, think BIG. There is no way the kiddie fuckers get justice.

We learned from WWII and taken the oil fields right off the bat. We’re talking world domination here. And the fascists are going for it before the cult leader’s dementia takes him off camera.
