Translation :

“Because I’m a fucking ghoul rat, I see the shit-smelling Trump ship sinking. So now I want to pretend that - even though I voted for the skid-mark 3 times - I’m someone you should definitely see as a decent person because only now (but not after he said “grab them by the pussy” or when he made fun of the disabled reporter, or when he threw kids in cages, or when he lied constantly, spouted demagoguery, or pushed his supporters to storm the Capitol building in D.C.) - when he looks to be politically vulnerable - I want to distance myself and pretend I’m somehow worthy of praise while also hoping to be able to be re-elected eventually when people start looking at voting for Rs again.”

I think you misinterpreted my “surprise” as some sort of Simping / ass kissing for the DNC.

Perhaps I should’ve phrased it more like :

“it was awesome hearing AOC. Surprised that the DNC did that. Times are changing.”

Yeah - let’s not glaze him up too much, or they might try to swap back.

Let him ride off into the sunset. The speech was okay, but I’d still rather have almost anyone else than him as the candidate (probably still not Hill-dawg)… and Kamala isn’t at the bottom of that list of my prefs, so let’s get her in office before we worry about whether or not the 80+ year old current president was awesome at his little send-off / goodbye speech.

Awesome to hear they let AOC speak though. Times really are shifting. You love to see it.

Yep. LG OLED disconnected from all web connections - literally has its MAC address blacklisted from my router, changed the launcher from stock Google for my NVIDIA Shield to a non ad-riddled launcher called WOLF, side-loaded SmartTube for ad-free YT, and Plex = non-dystopian media experience.

My next experiment will be to install a glue-tun bound Invidious instance via docker on my NAS, and then point Yattee on my iPhone to it for a mobile version of YT that’s not filled with non-stop ads… now if I can just figure out how to launch it correctly… 😓

Reference for the non-80s/90s kids :

Doesn’t seem to be working - I presume because Steam says those chat links are single-use, so once anyone here clicked it, it becomes invalid.

I think a private message with that same kind of link would work though. Messaging you now. 😅

Hello fellow gamers! Can I trouble any of you for an invite??? 😁😁😁

It’s not some big complex conspiracy.

He picked him to guarantee friendly financial backing.

Everyone knows 🪗-hands isn’t a real billionaire… so anyone who is that also offers him some cash can buy their way in. It’s how he’s always done “business.”

Misread that as “CEO PlayStation Crisis” at first and was very confused…

Actually 100% agree. Was more about the meme than real life though.

Communication, honesty, boundaries that are mutually agreed upon and respected is the sign of a healthy relationship… not any artificial external construct set by religion, peers, or some perceived “norm” from society.

That being said, I couldn’t think of a more clever comparison to make. 😅

Ah yes, the ol’ “joking about a threesome” trick.

“What?! Oh, no I mean… I was just joking, honey. I’d never do that… I mean unless…”

I’d say when FDR replaced Henry Wallace with the more right-leaning Truman.

Wallace wanted to pass a civil rights bill.

Truman dropped nuclear bombs on 2 civilian cities and was more interested in kick-starting the red scare than expanding upon the programs and policies FDR clearly laid out in his last days on literal record as president with things like a proposed 2nd Bill of Rights.
