Mitt Romney was a corporate raider before getting into politics. He ran for US president in the 2012 campaign, and in 2011 he told some hecklers that "corporations are people, my friend" and it's been clowned on ever since, even though the government treats it as true when it benefits corporations.

This is just where we've been heading since rich assholes took control of everything. Nothing has value beyond the money it makes. Everything will be reused and defiled until it stops making money. Everything will be rented to us

Harm reduction would have saved trans people like me from being erased by the government.

I have a laptop that I dual boot on, I'll have to try a few games on it. The biggest thing for me is if MusicBee will work, because I've been using it for almost ten years and want to keep using it.

MS can pry Windows 10 out of my cold, dead hands. I'll switch to Linux before Win11 and I don't particularly want to do that either.

The only person who could meaningfully finger-wag was Dikembe, and he died last year.

You don't think the peaceful protests were backed by the threat of union violence that had been regular up until the New Deal?

The media tried so hard to make people hate Luigi in December and it didn't work because everyone knows insurance companies murder for profit. Voting hasn't helped, the media is owned by oligarchs, most social media is too, and if you protest you either get ignored or beaten up by the cops.

It's not my first choice of action even now, but probably-Luigi killed a guy who was otherwise untouchable and the oligarchs flipped their shit. Abraham Lincoln's death gimped Reconstruction, MLK's death hurt the civil rights movement (and spurred nationwide riots causing passage of another civil rights act), Panthers leadership hurt their organization too.

I guess one of the morans finally got a brain.

We have a 40-hour work week because unions literally fought for it. I'd guess most people don't want more violence but working through the system was pretty impossible even before fascists took complete control last month.

I don't know why I forgot to enable Proton, thank you for the reminder.

That's so dumb I can't believe I missed it, thank you. It's not the most stable game even on Windows, but I'll have to give it a try.
