It’s as bad as it can possibly be in the white house right now and it will continue to get worse every day he stays in charge over there.
Either it’s as bad as it can possibly be OR it’s goint to continue getting worse.
It’s one or the other. That’s just how words work.

I might be part of the problem. I bought a PS5 years ago, thinking GTA6 was close to being released.
Turns out no.
But what I’ve discovered is that with how the gaming industry has gone, I don’t see any need to buy games anymore.
I’m sick of games being an online focused experience, which requires subscription costs.
I’m sick of every game needing a multiple deluxe collectors editions that are the only way to play the full game, but cost $200 each and come with cheap plastic junk “collectables” to justify the cost.
“But you won’t get the super rare coin and lapel pin if you don’t get the collectors edition!”
“Thats fine. Just sell me the full game at $60.”
“The full game requires the collectors edition. But it comes with this lapen pin and rare coin!”
“How many copies of the collectors edition are there?”
“About 2 million.”
“So, not exactly rare, is it?”
When the Simpsons first launched in 1989, Disco as a fad had already died, but it was only about 10 years in the past.
It would be like today, making fun of The Ice Bucket Challenge, or planking. Not topical, but fairly recent.
Now, in 2026, the idea of a guy in his 30s not being able to let go of disco is even weirder.
Considering every Simpsons character is forever stuck in their current age, it means Disco Stu today would have been born around 1996.
Also, fun fact, despite being 10 years old and 8 years old, Bart and Lisa have both been to the top of the world trade center, despite being born in 2016 and 2018.
Because the guys in both pics weren’t even born when you graduated high school? Ah, who am I kidding? You didn’t graduate high school. You were sent straight to the mines at 12.
These pretzels are making me thirsty!
Stop…PLEASE!!! …i can only get SO erect!
Welp. Certainly can’t argue with any of that. I’ve said the same thing myself on many of your points.
looks at your username
Welp. You certainly take SHIT posts seriously.
Let me get this straight. When you think of the “linux experience”, you think of refridgerators, air fryers, and vacumes. Your words. That’s your mental image of Linux.
While at the same time discrediting the desktop experience as “a tiny specific section of computer hardware”.
Now personally, I think Android SHOULD be counted as Linux. I’ve even asked why there isn’t a Linux distro that’s just Android for the PC. However, whenever I ask that question, instead of anyone answering legitimately, I get told that’s not what Linux is.
And the sad thing is, I think that would BLOSSOM the Linux userbase on PC. The power supply on my PC died a month ago, and before I found a bandaid solution, I was using my phone in dex mode for two weeks. It was a flawed but decent experience. The type of experience that would be a lot better if it were more common. But it’s not. People just don’t use their phones as PC replacements like I did for 2 weeks.
So me reading your reply, it’s obvious to me that everything you’re saying is a strawman arguement. What’s not obvious is if YOU realize how much of a strawmans arguement it is.
Seriously. You used air conditioners to justify numbers of Linux marketshare. Hang on. I gotta do some photo editing. Let me go grab the dehumidifier and run GIMP on it!
Dammit! I’m hoping for another meteor to cause a 3rd ice age, and wipe out all life on earth.
But I’ll settle for nuke going off in my back yard. Now you take even THAT hope away!
Is it so wrong to just want Earth to end??? It’s all I want! Such a simple request! Human extinction. Is that so wrong?
I’ve always heard it as “topping from the bottom”
Why the FUCK are they bombing animal shelters??? What POSSIBLE reason could they have for this???
…is it?
Um…when it comes to desktop OS’s, they ARE the top, and always have been.
And even if you remove windows entirely, Apple becomes number one. Not Linux.
Last I checked, the highest Linux as a desktop usershare ever got was something pathetically small like 5%
And the reason for this is Linux developers design their OS as if the user knows what they’re doing.
Windows designs their OS as if the user is clueless.
So users who know how to use their computer, use Linux. And idiots use Windows. Well it turns out the world is full of idiots.
I tried explaining how to install a program in terminal to someone who’s never touched linux.
“sudo apt install program”
And her response was “ooooh, no no no no no! That’s too much for all that! Ain’t nobody got time fo’ all dat!”
I have no idea which OS she’s using these days. Haven’t talked to her in years.
But if I had to bet my life savings, I’d bet she’s still never touched Linux.
I’ve said it a million times. The year of linux will come 5 years AFTER a distro is released which not only holds the users hand, but handcuffs it. Does EVERYTHING for the user, so the user never ever ever ever has to even know how to do anything. Update a driver? They don’t even know how to do it in windows! You think they’re going to try their hand at updating kernals and such in Linux?
I’m good with either.
That is absolutely what has BEEN happening!
All throughout the 2010s there was a battle for net neutrality. We lost that fight.
Then they put in the scanners for TSA that take full body nude photos whenever you fly. You can “opt out”, but they intentionally make it a hassle, and make it feel like YOU’RE the asshole for not wanting yourprivacy invaded like that.
Then all the appliances in your home started getting smart, so the internet was slowly becoming less of a luxery, and more of a requirement. Let an entire generation grow up without knowing a world without internet.
Then comes the tracking. We’re entering this phase now.
And eventually you’ll be isolated from society if you don’t consent to being tracked.
I have never had a facebook account. Yet facebook knows my name, my face, my phone number, my address. All of this was never consented by me. You know who did consent to it? My mom. She put me in her contacts list on her phone. She willingly entered all that info, uploaded a photo, and saved it to her phones contacts. Then she downloaded the facebook app. Which promptly asked her if she’d like to import her contacts list into her facebook contacts.
And it’s true that officially facebook isn’t technically part of the government. However, these mega corporations are all in bed with the government. Whatever they want, under this corrupt fascist government, it’s theirs for the taking. Nothing a little bribe can’t solve.
And now you got ICE out on the streets, downloading databases of who they want to oppress, where they live, what they look like.
It’s ALL connected. You are a frog slowly boiling. You don’t think the water is hot because you keep getting used to the tempature increases.
I don’t even know what python is.
