laws are just threats made by the ruling class

you know, I’ve never heard it stated exactly like this but shit, well said.

well said. money in politics has some pretty awful downstream effects. who’d have ever thunk it…

I swear shit has gotten exponentially worse since I was young. For example, last year I suffered a brain injury, I have about a month of missing memory. During that month, my homeowners association sent notice that they were being sold to another management company and the autopay I’d been using for 5 years would be cancelled. I missed this notice due to being in the hospital with brain damage and so never got new payment switched over.

I’m used to companies being gracious and working with their customers. Instead I had a lawyer sicked on me and the paperwork to forclose my house was started. I wound up having to pay all their legal fees and penalties which was an order of magnitude more than the actuall missed payments.

This was the most painful one recently but this is par for the course. Someone else said it in this thread but it’s become a real dog eat dog world, something that used to be a folksy saying has now become a harsh reality.

I am a huge fan of immich, been running it for quite a while, it started as just phone photo backup but it’s good enough that I’ve made it my primary photo repository (fully backed up of course). I will absolutely pay for a license but count me as one who doesn’t really like the terminology used.

I would happily put a donated or supporter badge to show off, but the unlicensed just feels a bit wrong. I have no trouble paying for software, especially as useful as immich, but in the enshittifying world we live in, such language gives one pause.

I would love to try one. Not for $3500.

There was a short lived candybar called PB Max that I’ve been craving for like the last 20 years. It actually tasted like peanut butter which, despite my love for peanut butter cups, just completely outdid them for peanutty goodness.

american beauty. it was everywhere, and everyone seemed to LOVE it. feels like history kinda agrees though since all I hear these days is people making fun of it. guess I’m just ahead of the times.

it’s like we have all watched these dystopian future movies and instead of heeding their warning, we all said “hold my beer”.

She takes full responsibility but in her defense, the meds she was on really did a number on her, especially as a single mom.

the garage. I was 6 or 7, my mom was undergoing a major health situation and the medication wasn’t doing her mental processes any favors. One morning she was running late and so asked me to start her car. I’d never started a car in my life, I had no idea what to do and I couldn’t reach the pedals so I asked my younger sibling to help out. I stayed on the floor and operated the pedals, my sibling was in charge of the key.

mind you, this was a stickshift and it was parked in the driveway, facing the garage door.

I have no idea what we actually did, I only remember the crashes as we went through the garage door and through the back wall. The front of the car now blocking the alley, we yanked the key ran to hide because we had just taken down a fucking building ruined mom’s new car, and thought we were going to be killed. Of course she instantly realized what happened and knew that she was at fault so when she found us we were of course in no trouble; but man, what a ride that was…

the internet was a mistake

Fallout and Walton Goggins, it’s no wonder I love it so far.

I eat the whole banana, skin and all. Who has time for peeling?

They are really living up to the repeal of their mantra.

came here to suggest VanDAM but looks like it’s been renamed. Looking for the same solution myself and was going to try it out.

I showed them by having a successful and happy life. Nothing else needs to be said.

Oh, in was just trying to make a joke but of course I’m with you. I’ve never been much of a believer myself but I’ve always tried to live as best I can just in case :)

between the antichrist parallels, the world unexplainably heating up and an ongoing war in Israel, I’m starting to look forward to all the chucklefucks getting raptured.

while he will certainly lose the popular vote, he and the cult are busy setting the stage for Jan. 6th round 2. every trick to steal it will be tried and by how feckless our judicial system has been, I have very little hope of our institutions holding this time.

it’s got to be an epic, undeniable drubbing, else we’re all wearing red hats this time next year.

Question asked and answered I’d say.
