There’s nothing nefarious going on. The problem is that the people making the decisions in this country are mostly geriatric.
It’s trite to say at this point, but the cruelty is the point.
Since every accusation is a confession, I look forward to 47 kicking the bucket from stage 19 fatass cancer any day now.
Glad I live somewhat close to Canada so I can still get vaccines.
I fucking hate Trump as much as the next anti-fascist, but the “I can shoot a man on 5th Avenue and get away with it” factor here is kind of amazing. No Democrat or Republican not named Trump would be able to spurn Israel like this and get away with it. The pro-Israel and evangelical lobbies would fucking destroy anyone else.
For the record, I still think he’s an absolute garbage human and absolute garbage president, but damn.
WTF happened to this guy? Did he have a Fetterman stroke?
That Nazi fuck
He’s worse than a Nazi—he’s a kapo.
No. Nope. That’s not an image I needed in my head, thanks.
I’d imagine that this is something that varies from family to family.
Cheer up. The way things are going, history could repeat itself with bird flu, or some new super strain of RSV or measles.
They’ll just turn to something worse, like OAN, Newsmax, RT, Breitbart, or the Epoch Times. Unfortunately, there’s no shortage of far-right media for them to consume.
The really wealthy families aren’t going to a Disney park either. Their kids have had passports since before they could walk, and the family is going to an exclusive foreign resort for a trip that costs more for a week than most folks make in a year.

Trump’s double-down syndrome strikes again.
The “ bUt hOw’s yOuR 401(K) dOiNg?” crowd from the first administration is remarkably silent these days. How unexpected.
“Who is the first buyer?” one of the reporters asked.
“Me,” Trump quipped.
“The second?” the reporter pushed on.
“I don’t know, but I’m the first buyer. It’ll be out in ... less than two weeks. Pretty exciting, right?” the president asked.
First of all, why would he be the first buyer of an express residency card when he’s already a citizen? Fucking moron.
Second, “it’s happening in two weeks” is Trumpspeak for “it’s literally never going to happen.”
Liberation from your retirement savings
Now he can focus on driving his companies into the ground.
Prediction: Trump will come out saying that Cory Booker’s record-breaking speech was a smokescreen to distract from the fact that George Soros was stealing votes in this election.
I wish I wasn’t serious.
It’s okay. He still has billions more to piss away.
Wait until their quarterly earnings come in

Why shouldn't I use this motherboard to build a router?
This Topton-brand mini-ITX motherboard on AliExpress seems like a pretty decent choice for an Opnsense/Pfsense-based home router setup. It has four Intel 2.5gbe ports, an integrated 10W TDP CPU, and way more storage options than necessary for my use case.
However, I’m leery of just about everything from AliExpress. In this case, I assume security is probably a distant consideration after function and price point.
Am I being overly paranoid? Are products like this riddled with back doors and other exploitable components? Has anyone else out there built a router using this board?

Changing permissions for /var/lib/docker
Is it a bad idea to recursively change the permissions for the /var/lib/docker directory? That directory is owned by root:root and the permissions are rwx--x---.
I'm hoping to be able to access my named volumes without using sudo so that I can easily back them up.
