  • I have bad news. The democrats have been controlled opposition the whole time. They’re just there to be like “oh noooo you gotta vote for US or the big bad THEM is gonna get you” but you do remember how absolutely spineless they’ve been since Trump right? “Oh we gotta work across the isle, guys, we gotta follow the norms guyssss the parliamentarian, guyssss”

    They will leave in place everything Trump has done and let it normalize. They are the cooling of the lava before the next eruption, but the coastline is forever pushed right, the land forever charred, and there is no time for Pele to restore the life force before the next eruption. The cycle has become too accelerated.



  • Death is dangerous to life and groups of chuds threatening people who don’t sing their national anthem in their preferred language are attempting to coerce a population.

    I think people in America typically have a definition like this:

    “Terrorists” are defined as looking exactly like Osama Bin Laden and shouting “ISLAMIC JIHAD ALLAHU AKBAR LALALLALALALALALAL” before exploding like a stuck lemming from the video game “Lemmings”.

    They also think that politics is operated purely on lies and name calling for power grabs and so therefore since they gave the terrorist label to brown people, they can’t ever be one and all their actions are excusable since it’s impossible for them to be a terrorist.


  • Really, because I have a Bosch and I had to install the app and then use HACS to install an integration which goes through their cloud.

    I don’t use that for anything more than alerts but it’s annoying it has zero local control. This is a perfect use case for Zigbee or Z-Wave and if I’m paying a premium I don’t get why I wouldn’t get premium features.

    Also some features are app only (special dry modes etc) so if I want the functionality I paid for I have to be signed up for their cloud.








  • I don’t have the article but basically when the rich aren’t taxed proportionally, their wealth and therefore power grows, while the lower classes get squeezed harder as they must give up a greater portion of their wealth in order to fund the obligations toward said infrastructure that keeps the whole machine running.

    When used inappropriately, they are one piece of the larger system that funnels all the wealth upwards at the expense of everyone and everything else.







  • Well hopefully it will be the start of actions, but I don’t have high hopes.

    Going immediately to counter-assault gives ammo to the freaks who think their actions are justified and they will escalate. Same with the IDF after Oct 6th, same with the US government after gestures broadly literally everything since WWII.

    Real responsibility means making a statement first. Real courage means following through if you get a response you don’t like.

    The first action they took was the correct one. I have little faith they’ll find the courage to take the second one (but I’d love to be proven wrong)
