    It took me a lot of fits and starts to finally make the switch to Linux. The Fediverse was a little different, but it was the same kind of thing—I just decided I had to make the jump.

    My current VPN is helping by blocking Reddit, and honestly, that’s been a big help in keeping me here. It forces me to come here instead, which I probably needed. I still have some roles with local groups that keep me tied to Facebook, but I’m working on changing that.

    I know it’s often joked about, but the command line is genuinely fun. I enjoy discovering games, apps, and commands that I actually like using. With the great desktop environments available, it doesn’t feel forced—but if you’re curious, there’s so much out there to explore.





  • Does she mean Democratic National Convention or Democratic National Committee the later being the common thing referred to as DNC?

    The National Convention is almost five thousand delegates with a plus one or two. Its not exactly a rally its the body that confirms or votes for the party’s Prez candidate. They have guest, speakers, other elected Democrats(who aren’t delegates), and invite the Press.










  • You have to remember that during Trump’s first administration, there was a terrible U.S. ambassador who committed a hit-and-run in the UK, killing a cyclist. The victim’s family traveled to the U.S. to seek justice, hoping the president would revoke her diplomatic immunity since she had fled the country.

    The moronic president, treating it like a reality TV stunt, had the ambassador unexpectedly pop into a meeting with the grieving family—on live TV—to say sorry. This is just how his broken brain operates.

    I’d argue it’s not that horseshoe works in rhetoric but voting patterns. Both “extremes” of “the horseshoe” end up being moralistic and favor dismantling the system.

    They may say oppression is bad from the far-left but at the same time when voting that oppression might just mean globally to them and not to the domestic matters.

    The blame can be shared and probably where the horseshoe fails.
