These guys talk a lot of shit for people too scared to reveal their voices and face. They seem to think they're going to come to America and run the show with violence, and it's going to be like picking off farmers in Afganistan. These are the fantasies of a 13-year-old edgelord, and we've seen how the neo-Nazis run when they see a single black man with a gun lol. It'll get ugly sure, but these guys are tools. Let's see them take on a single hell's angels support club.

Hell yes that was an invigorating read! Those people following ICE agents around are HEROES. This also reminded me to get a megaphone.

Idk I kinda wanna try the grippy socks, but the rest of it sounds like a bit of a hassle tbh

Yeah it's called an RSS feed. Every podcast has an RSS link, and that's how your podcast app connects and gets all the episode information and the stream. Some apps may not have the podcast you're looking for in the search function (or maybe there's more than one, like an ad free stream), and you can manually add whatever podcast if you have the link.

Interestingly, YouTube channels and subreddits are also RSS feeds. There are apps that allow you to compile the links together, so all of your podcasts, YouTube subscriptions, subreddits, and many more things that you follow on the internet, could all be combined into one app/page, free of ads and other distractions and annoyances on the originating sites. I use the program FreshRSS for this exact purpose, and it's wonderful having everything I want to see combined on my home page.

I do appreciate him speed running his downfall for us. It's a few years overdue but I'll take it.

I'm so happy to get the slightest bit of good news lately. How awesome would it be if this unchecked rampant corruption and greed led to significant reforms for democracy and an era of consequences and litigation against the billionaires.

How awesome would it be if this was the collapse of capitalism in the utopia sense, as opposed to the 'end of civilization' sense. Maybe? :)

You're not wrong, they are absolutely within their rights, and Skyblivion shouldn't preclude others from Oblivion projects (especially not the IP holders). But it still rubs me and others the wrong way. Bethesda doesn't need to do this; they aren't hurting for cash. It feels petty to jump on the Oblivion remaster train right as this public (free) project, that has been worked on for like a decade, is nearing the end of its production. It's just slimy behaviour from Bethesda IMO, but I will definitely give them kudos for not issuing a cease and desist.

If anything its just another data mine for the political beliefs of potential dissidents. And before you say anything, yes, I am this much fun at parties as well

In an ironic twist of 2025 that nobody saw coming, all of Putin's "the bad guys are nazis!" rhetoric is no longer propaganda

After reading that I thought the 'HDMI Forum' was a literal internet forum of nerds who invented HDMI and didn't want to make it open source for anyone. lol.

In like the 1940s Elon Musk's grandfather was a chiropractor in Regina, Saskatchewan and was arrested by the RCMP for being a central figure in an organization that was trying to overthrow the government and install a technocracy. I'm not kidding.

After that is when he fucked off to South Africa to partake in the Apartheid.
