3 hours agoHistory podcasts are my catnip at the moment
Mine as well. Regular history for sure (I was an archaeology major after all), but also history mixed with category one, murders. I love a good historical unsolved mystery.

2·3 hours agoThere’s a youtube channel called Criminal Core that posts about cases that are solved after ‘x’ number of years and it’s always because of DNA.
Sadly it’s AI narrated, which sucks. I’d much prefer a human. But the stories are interesting in an “Unsolved Mysteries” kind of way.
Watching Unsolved Mysteries on PlutoTV, I like that the producers of the show actually add updates to the end when things have been changed or solved. They could just replay the episode as is, but they make the effort to introduce new updates. I appreciate that from them.
To put it simply, cost isn’t the same for everybody.
5·4 hours agoI can’t even fathom how much self-loathing Graham must have to be so afraid of whatever Trump/Israel has on him that he’d spend the last few years of his career doing…whatever this is.
2·1 day agoFor sure. I’m well aware that real life doesn’t work that way. Because real life kinda sucks right now.
Exactly. A hidden command gets sent out by the Secret service and suddenly the security details of Vance, Trump, Kegsbreath, Bondi, etc… all do what needs to be done.
In any other country on earth, Trump would have been dragged into the street a lynched by now.
I think the best American’s can hope for is that his own security detail order 66’s him.

Modern conservatives are the dumbest fuckers in history.

73·6 days agoI agree with you to a point. I would say however that it’s not the fact that government exists that’s the problem. It’s the fact that government is controlled by corporations and billionaires that is the problem.
Take all of that away and have a government is actually by the people and for the people…we’d be golden.

I used to bother doing all of that too. I just found symlinking achieved the same results without a bunch of manually configuring of mount points.
If by movement you mean bullets…you’re almost there.
The United States has always been the villain of the story. But they used to at least try to hide it behind a sheen of soft power. The only difference between now and then is that Trump unabashedly takes the mask off and gives no fuck what the rest of the world thinks.
Me neither. The more I dwell on it, the grumpier I’m getting. Distro hopping is a young man’s sport. I’ve got work to do.
Thankfully, I learned the hard way a long time ago that my files are almost entirely on a secondary drive and my home folders are all simply symlinks to folders there, so I won’t lose any data since that drive won’t be wiped. But it’s just such a pain in the butt to set up everything the way I like it.
I started using Manjaro long before all this crap started going down, and I’ve been holding on hoping this all gets sorted because I hate distto hopping.
But sadly I don’t think its going to happen. I’ve got a new PSU coming to fix a burnt out one that has left my desktop turned off and unupdated for two months. Might be time for an install of something new rather than updating afterwards.
2·8 days agoIt’s the only thing that there’s just too little of.
Yep. And boot-lickers of that kind of business ethics will always say “Well that’s capitalism, baby!”
But it’s really not. Capitalism as an economic theory IS those small businesses that are being driven under. It’s human beings making a living from their own labour." Even if that human being is the person in charge and doesn’t set foot on the sales floor (for example), it’s still a human being at the helm.
My goto example for some reason is always furniture, I don’t know why. But someone making bespoke wooden furniture out of his garage because he enjoys it and other people want to purchase it. That’s capitalism.
If that same guy’s product gets so big that he starts a company, get’s a factory, and now has employees making the furniture for him, it’s still capitalism because he built that company with his own sweat and he deserves to reap the benefits of such.
What’s missing from what the bootlckers call capitalism is the human element.
When the human equation is taken away and everything is at the whim of a stock price, it’s not capitalism anymore, it’s called a Corporatocracy. Humans themselves become just another metric on a spreadsheet called “labour”. Something to be accounted for, controlled and minimized for the sake of the share price. Those shares aren’t owned by humans either (for the most part), they’re owned by other corporations and hedge-funds. Humans are so far removed from modern corporatocracy that there’s no room for (or even understanding of) empathy.
