That person is an apprentice.

I have a few of these running HoloISO running around the house to stream graphic intense games from my main rig and to run smaller games locally. Runs fine with a 680m iGPU and I never have to leave the room I’m in (garage included) to play games if I want.

It cost more than a console, but far less than the 5 consoles I’d have to put out for that kind of convenience.

I thought you could hide those now.

Thing is, Lictman predicted 2000 correctly but couldn’t take into account supreme court fuckery. I’m less worried about winning than I am the fuckery.

It’s not an either/or. It’s Zionist Nazis or Zionist lite. Those are currently the two things that have a chance in the upcoming American election. Currently I’ll take slightly less Zionism and keep being involved in trying to get any democratic voting system that’s not FPTP so that we have more than two options.

Hell, isn’t that what Elon is proposing? I think it was him saying it should just be tech bros running shit unless I’ve got the wrong idiot tech bro.

Are you telling my this speech from 2016 isn’t the greatest feat of oration of all time?

Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what’s going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what’s going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.

I agree with this. Reagan was culpable because he was the damn boss. H.W., Olly North, and a bunch of others were doing all kinds of fucked up shit while he smiled for the camera.

I think the same thing about Bush Jr.'s time in office. He “aww shucked” his way through shit while Cheney and the crew did irreparable damage. I don’t think either of them felt strongly about anything that didn’t personally affect them and they allowed the road to the 2016 shitshow.

H.W. was the only conservative who held the reigns while he was president in the last 4 decades and he wasn’t likable enough by the base to get a second term. That’s why they put up “aww shucks” and a crazy demagogue that they could manipulate. Don’t get me wrong, Trump is evil. He just doesn’t have two brain cells to rub together to do the damage that the federalist society and project 2025 wanted/wants all by himself.

I’m a part of many criminal organizations.

I’ve seen that in older Hispanic folks, especially ones that left despotic countries that pretend to be socialist. The ones my age and younger that I know generally lean left. But that may also be because I’m in Harris county, who will be sued by Paxton if we do a voter registration drive. Because more Harris county voters means old testament shit starts happening. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together…mass hysteria!

He was Nancy’s psychic’s puppet.

Pop a Poppler in your mouth,

When you come to Fishy Joe’s.

What they’re made of is a mystery,

Where they come from, no one knows.

You can pick 'em, you can lick 'em,

You can chew 'em, you can stick 'em,

And if you promise not to sue us,

You can shove one up your nose.

I’ll give you a nickel if you say it out loud.

Then what’s this on my floor?

You may not be aware of this but Ken Paxton is a complete piece of shit.

That rule is batshit insane and completely backwards.

Edit: to be clear, the rule that says third parties have to get 10x the number of signatures mentioned in the article.

The day I realized that we don’t even know how to treat each other was a wild day for me. My friend group has been complimenting and building up each other for a while now. It’s amazing the change you’ll see just by having one dude say to another, “Hey, nice shirt my guy!” or something similar.

We opened for a national band tonight so a bunch of my friends were there. After having done this for a few years then reading this thread, I’m amazed to see just how much positive masculinity we had going on. There were compliments, talking up guys to others outside of just being a wingman (there was at least one case of being a wingman, too), lots of bro hugs, and a lot of genuinely happy guys.

It’s a hard thing to get going, but I’m glad we started doing it.

I’ll be voting blue, and I look forward to the state invalidating all the votes in my county.

That song is the only one where I really wish that moron would have a change of heart. It’s catchy and high energy and would work well for karaoke and a dead crowd. It’s not good, but it’s fucking fun and nostalgic.

But he’s an active shitbag. I will not support a living shitbag if I know about their shitbaggery. I’ll make an exception only if they’re not actively engaging in shitbaggery any longer.

I hope his homey ends up in county in cell block 6 while being processed for the pen.

But they’re much nicer about it.

I turned down politeness all the way and watched it become Dallas traffic almost immediately.
