You're not alone at all. I feel the same way. At least with the pandemic, we knew those tend to fizzle out after a few years, but there's no standard expiration date for fascism. 2023 had plenty of problems, but from inside the US, it seemed to be the first relatively "normal" year since 2015 - and it will likely be the last normal one for quite a while. But while hardships are sure to come, falling into defeatism is doing trump's work for him (not that that's what you're doing; it's just a common sentiment I've seen online). The "it's all over, we're so cooked" mentality is just as harmful as the maga one. Because it's never "over" as long as people are willing to fight back.

Please don’t :-(

This post was prompted by an ad I saw outside of a bodega… something along the lines of “we sell Evian here”

I’m not sure I could ever imagine any normal person seeing this and immediately rushing in to get their fix

Yeah, sometimes I think I don’t appreciate having drinkable tap waterwater enough. It’s all I could ever need

EVERY DAY

you ever think about how bottled water is literally more expensive than petrol?? it falls out of the fucking sky.

anyway in my research for making this comment i came across this shit https://www.aquadeli.co.nz/product/paws-water/ literal dogwater

I’m convinced most don’t like the taste of Evian nearly so much as they like the taste of conspicuous consumption.

One of my driving motivations to go get new glasses is it has become to difficult to read for pleasure. Reading is one of the things that makes life worth living.

does working on the pi offer you any automation / relief from the openwrt woes you had on the old router?

yeah, ansible works very well with raspbian, and just debian in general. openwrt uses like overlayfs and is very limited compared to a normal linux system, so although you could probably get ansible to work (it just needs ssh and python on the target system), it sounds like it'd be painful.

and why did you choose a compute module?

chip shortage, that was the only model i could get at the time. also the ethernet hat was like purpose-made for what i wanted a pi for.

i appreciate you sharing this experience!! i have been considering doing something similar with openwrt. does working on the pi offer you any automation / relief from the openwrt woes you had on the old router? and why did you choose a compute module?

Ok

Nope, maybe today, I'm on a hunt for special sodas as well

been trying to think of any romanticization of nonbinary people, or how one would, and my thesis is that romanticization is all about gender roles, and nonbinary people generally don't embrace those

but then i learned popeye the sailor is canonically nonbinary

It's truly terrifying how much more damage he's doing so much faster this time. Felt like we made it through his first term because he ultimately didn't actually do all that much, but this time around he's got Elon Musk in his ear giving him instructions on how to any% speedrun the destruction of everything.

to me, feels about how it felt in february 2020, yeah. and september of 2001 tbh.

honestly i feel like i'd have been more scared during the cold war given they had "duck and cover" PSAs on tv lol. sure don't feel great though.

we'll still be here at the end of it to pick up the pieces and carry on. solidarity.

Yeah, that matches it.

I'm very scared lol
