It&#39;s not like Reddit where they come out with just a wall of hate normalization to push the window to the right. Here the strategy is different. Here they just push despair hidden by rage. Their goal is to kill hope. <br/><br/>And they don&#39;t complain about trump and Republicans, no. Never. They complain about the Democrats and other left wing politicians worldwide. They&#39;re not interested in hearing about how the alternative, given their nonsense of not supporting Democrats, is literally fascism on the dust cover. <br/><br/>They don&#39;t WANT a progressive winner. They&#39;re here to attack whoever the leftist candidate is and make you think progressives are all radicals incapable of reason, in order to scare you away from them. <br/><br/>Guard yourself because this is still social media like anywhere, and what&#39;s worse, entire servers can be and are being run by and for trolls against the rest of us.

It was obviously going to happen.<br/><br/>It&#39;s blackmail y&#39;all. Trump is blackmailing hundreds of powerful people right now, today. I don&#39;t believe for a second that all that blackmail material just disappeared. It is still in use, just, by a different team now. <br/><br/>I&#39;ll do you one more, I think Epstein largely got taken down for this very reason. There&#39;s a scene in the movie Training Day where the crooked cop played by Denzel goes to visit an old friend, for the second time that day. The first time the friend tells him he&#39;s almost ready to get the fuck out of dodge with his stash. The second time he visits, he kills the friend and steals all the money he had been hoarding, by proxy at the direction of the police higher-ups. <br/><br/>That&#39;s what I believe Trump did to Epstein. They cashed in an intelligence asset and took his stash for their own use. 2024-08-02T13:40:05Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9pykvk0yt8j6st7ty6cgvmqs3964kmyyf9pp3vwfrwuqvvhs8cdqzypaeu5w4gdpfqq74gq5n8j90dk4vmhue07qzvru7wzyr9ugd77kfz9edype In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs984fzzf0998sneuh6j0f2z90el2pnlw6twam09wum5zn8nv0mgfsnpp4v9'>nevent1q…p4v9</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>FWIW if you&#39;re doing light emulation - anything PS2 or older really - battery life on the steam deck is going to exceed your expectations. It&#39;ll run all day, or close to it. <br/><br/>The only time battery life is a hindrance with that thing is running your average PC games. Witcher 3 will perform great for like an hour and you need it plugged in. Skyrim is marginally better but still pretty draining. <br/><br/>Oblivion though, only plugged it in at night really. It was about the same for when I was playing MGS2 on a PS2 emulator. 2024-07-31T18:02:14Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsw7cndtj30hly5le5ex2jctxfr7yaqnxyz2lhmq2hts0cwuzzt37qzypaeu5w4gdpfqq74gq5n8j90dk4vmhue07qzvru7wzyr9ugd77kfzce3guq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstt8wxn5dg4a96mjtr82ekz2skwpr29sd3t46y8umfuqkxrhfq7wsm9fzp6'>nevent1q…fzp6</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>That Sartre quote hits harder every year.

Guess I&#39;ll do one. <br/><br/>Hi! I&#39;m Theodore. Or Theo. Or T-Pain. Or just &#34;aye bro&#34;. He/him. None of those are my real name anyway.<br/><br/>I live in California with my beautiful wife and our almost-9-years-old son, who is just the cutest, sweetest little terrorist you&#39;d ever meet. I am precariously close to 40 years old. <br/><br/>I&#39;ve voted #Democrat my whole life and don&#39;t see that changing anytime soon. They&#39;re not perfect, they&#39;re just our best option right now. Primary progressives, vote blue.<br/><br/>I work as a senior #CSharp and #SQL #developer but unlike a lot of devs, that&#39;s just work for me. I like it but it&#39;s not my life. I don&#39;t have network racks at home, I&#39;m not into teching all the things, and I will give you dumb looks of ignorance if you bring up Linux jokes. If anything the most fulfilling part is getting to mentor other devs. I&#39;m a teacher and a learner at heart, and I dream of retiring as a teacher. <br/><br/>I&#39;m more likely to be in my garage doing #woodwork or potting for my #garden or playing #drums. #Music is a big thing in my world, be it #metal, #pop, #punk, #hiphop, and a bunch in between.<br/><br/>#Survivor (Australia!) is my guilty pleasure, Team Feras all the way.<br/><br/>If I come off overly confident about a thing, believe me: it&#39;s confidence borne of a thousand previous mistakes, both mine and those I watched others make. It ain&#39;t about being angry or hateful, I&#39;m way too tired for that shit and don&#39;t really tolerate much of either in my life. 2024-03-27T12:09:45Z
