"Fuck it, maximum coastal forts along the entire coastline. AA too."

It's a pocket watch holder. For whatever reason that's the thing in fashion that stuck around long past the point where nobody used those anymore.

Tequila is definitely going to disappear due to agave going extinct at some point, isn't it?

And possessing control over what was historically the least productive half of the Korean peninsula on account of it being mountainous as all hell while all the good farmland is in the hostile occupied southern half of the country.

I never put it together before, but it's wild that Elon has had Trump's ear this whole time and didn't manage to carve out an exception for the tariffs for his own company. Like he's even bad at basic corruption.

The Chinese government is not big on drugs in general, yes. Part of that is that, like most elsewhere, the higher ranks of the CPC tend to be older and more socially conservative, but also China has some very understandable generational trauma about drugs from the Opium Wars and ensuing century of humiliation.

The last time the US fought China it amounted to that as well. And that was back when the PRC was a bombed out rural husk with little to no industry.

Somehow I imagine if you're at the point where you're being ordered to be a brownshirt I don't think a hotline is going to accomplish shit.

Maybe just frag your commanding officer instead.

For what you're spending on this, I would highly recommend throwing in a 1440p monitor. The difference from 1080p is night and day. The 7900XT will have zero issues with it, and you can find a solid 27" one for cheap nowadays so long as you're not trying to find an OLED or something with a stupid high refresh rate.

That's about the only feedback I have here though, the rest of this build looks good!

This is also why the liberal focus on specific shitheels in politics (Trump, Vance, etc) is ultimately pointless: if your primary goal is to remove the individuals from power, they will simply be replaced by other ghouls with identical politics while your movement disintegrates because you accomplished your goal, achieving nothing.

You have to change the underlying material structure of your society in order to facilitate meaningful change.

The inevitable conclusion of 50 years of neoliberalism running your country is that you end up with a generation of capitalists and political leaders that can't manufacture anything, don't understand how manufacturing works, have no concept of the kind of infrastructure necessary to manufacture things, and need a panel of experts to politely explain that not only does their country not have the personnel or facilities to manufacture things but that the social mechanisms for educating that workforce and building those facilities have atrophied from non-use to the point of collapse.

And this is ignoring the fact that production lines have become so used to literal millions-strong workforces being centralized in massive Asian cities (that the west can't build because of fifty million other reasons all along the same lines of atrophied levers of power and total contradiction with major profit centers, like mass transit or basic urban planning) that even if we did manage to overcome all those problems we'd still be radically changing what existing supply chains look like and essentially reinventing the core business model of dozens of major industries at once while they're still running at typical capacity, something that capitalists famously love doing.

There's a whole lot of finding out about to happen.

It might be; I've only ever used in on Wayland to make up for Discord using its ancient version of Electron. If the canary branch Discord works for you though I'd stick to that, I was just offering another option for either yourself or people reading the post!

Related to the Discord Canary comment, Vesktop is a third-party Discord client that's properly supported Wayland for quite some time now. I've been using it ever since swapping to Linux full-time to make sure streaming works correctly.

Because liberals only under fascism through its aesthetics. It's the Umberto Eco school of fascism identification where it only counts if they're wearing Hugo Boss and marching Jews into camps, otherwise it's just sparkling oppression. It's why they fall over so easily to "respectable" fascists smart enough to mask their genocides under a facade of respectability. And it's why they cannot ever truly oppose fascism without fundamental changes to their core ideologies.

One is Long Country, the other is Long March. Same difference, right?

The bank's money is the capitalists' money; that's what they're loaning out to each other and investing into stocks. A mass bank run would run through Wall Street like a wildfire.

And the FDIC is the government bailing them out, that's the entire point of insuring money in bank accounts.

This is one of those things where I'm torn between "there's no way the cabal of competent capitalists running this entire circus would ever allow this because a bank run would destroy the mountain of fictitious capital that is their dragon's hoard" and "oh fuck, I'm not sure any of the cabal of capitalists that run this circus are competent anymore, they might actually do it."

The tariffs are irrelevant *in the US since the DOT won't do safety testing on them, so they aren't road legal. I'm honestly not even sure what the point of slapping tariffs on them was other than signalling to automakers that they won't face any competition.

Well you see, if the US is doing something completely evil and indefensible then the only fallback for the American exceptionalism-poisoned western mind is to immediately declare that everywhere else is even worse! Otherwise we wouldn't live in the Greatest Country on Earth(tm), and that's impossible no matter how much our lying eyes say otherwise.

The derpy eyes really pull the whole snek together
