“There’s a man in the bathroom and there’s something hard in his pants!”

Maybe your cell in Guantanamo or El Salvador will have a window. Bahaha just kidding they won’t.

I think we’re getting, or soon will be, to the point where deportation changes meaning to indefinite incarceration.

In my state the rednecks are harder on latinos than they are on black people in general. I think it’s simply because they’re exposed to more black people.

It’s a shame travel is so expensive. A good trip or two to centroamerica just might cure their bigotry.

I have two friends that said they used to listen to NPR but not as much “since they got all political” - meaning calling Trump’s lies what they are, lies. In fact they’re pretty soft on Trump compared to some outlets. It’s frustrating.

Yep! Twitter is going to be Weixin. I’ll go to my grave calling it twitter in a pathetic display of disapproval.

Move to West Virginia, we need more people like you. I just got a beautiful Serbian made AK, all I had to do was wait for it to be shipped over and pick it up at my local gun shop. 15 minutes for the background check which is essentially no felonies, because I have an extensive misdemeanor record from when I was young and wild. All I had to do was listen to the workers and customers spout bullshit conspiracy theories and talk about the latest Joe Rogan episode. Small price to pay.

Even my wife, who was previously anti-gun, bought a 9mm. Interesting times.

This is just the beginning. He’s going to force the government to run through twitter. Then you’ll only be able to pay your bills through twitter. Then your national ID will be authorized through twitter. Then all banking through twitter. It’s coming.

I’m down 100%. Also give them rifles. Now we’re talking.

Maybe it’s because they’re subverting the largest and most powerful democracy in the world. Wait until the real purges start. I bet you won’t be able to dig a hole deep enough to fit your head.

Yeah it’s wild. I don’t think it’s good but I’m not doing a great job teaching. One of my gen Z nephews expressed an interest so I gave him my old PC, took it apart with him and put it back together, explained everything.

He rearranged his room and told me when he hooked everything back up his games were super slow. Every time I touch his PC I clean it up from scam shit spyware etc. I pretend not to notice where all this stuff came from.

But this time was different. He’d plugged his monitor into the motherboard instead of the graphics card. He recently redid his room again and got it right this time! Small victories.

Is you is, or is you ain’t my constituency?

For real. I’ve taught people copy paste shortcuts and they act like I’m an alien.

So I’ve been in the DOS/Windows world for at least 30 years. I have never used Linux, but I can configure a Cisco server or switch and stack a rack. Yet I fail your test?

I’m a xennial. I was so excited by computers, and later the internet. It completely absorbed me to the point that I would get up an hour early for school so I could mess around with the computer before catching the bus. A beautiful (ugly) Compaq with a 200n megabyte hard drive, 2 megs of ram. 86 architecture. I was about 11 years old.

I played a few games, but I spent much more time messing around the system in DOS. Making batch files, then working with qbasic. Of course I played Nintendo games as well. After we got internet I used a 28.8kbps modem to upload my own webpage via FTP.

I remember thinking, even as a child/teenager, that the kids of the future were going to be incredible, being born into the digital internet age. I was so wrong. My classmates struggled with computers because they weren’t amazed by them like I was. Touch typing class had nothing on ICQ.

I think there are a lot of xennials on Lemmy. It was crushing to see that the generations before and after us can’t comprehend the basics of computers. Then smartphones happened and everything got so much worse.

OKAAAY

I have ADHD and sometimes can’t focus to do more brain intensive work if I’m in a room with a bunch of people talking. Street/background noise doesn’t bother me at all. I grew up suburb rural adjacent but I’ve worked in huge cities for long periods and it just doesn’t bother me like six people having two conversations would.

They didn’t disclose any diagnosis or medication, just some psycho behavior they witnessed.

Now that would be the moment, everyone under one roof, to do some grassroots politics.

Fighting for equal rights versus drifting with the tide of religion and right wing politics. They got old. They’re tired. This way is so much easier. And I’m assuming they’re relatively wealthy white people so probably nothing will happen to them.

He’ll say he rightfully won in 2020 so this will be payback for that. And by 2028 everyone who disagrees with him publicly will be disappeared so his argument will be accepted. Personally I think he dies before the end of this term.
