I’m glad someone else sees it. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills every day lately. People don’t give a single shit, will minimize the danger and do anything they can to give up their rights, time and time again.

A few of us see it, sadly too few to matter.

yes, work in progress actually…

With how fucking slow windows has gotten on my work PC with all the copilot bullshit, I’m pretty sure MS is doing the same thing. No proof, just a painfully slow machine after getting all the AI updates…

I hate having that machine in my house, on my network.

He’s only concerned because he knows his and his allies actions are so bad, one might say biblically bad, that he’s trying to control the narrative to look in another direction.

You kidding me. Once this fucker is gone, every single one of them will decide that the orange lying asshole was the only problem, and will reliably pull their team’s lever again and again…

Edit - goddamned autocorrect.

So, create more power vacuums for the unscupulous to exploit.

I mean, gotta start somewhere. I too would like to see more direct action in play but we’re trying to motivate nations here, tens or hundreds of millions of people.

Take no kings, I get that it’s been toothless, but it built a large following and the next one is calling for action. It probably won’t work, probably won’t be enough, but it will build momentum, and the next gets more, the next more still. This is obviously US focused (I’m American but this shit has gone global).

It took them a very long time to infiltrate the governments, this has been going on for decades. We won’t be able to solve it in a weekend. It’s going to take time and hard work to fix this shit.

If this thread is any indication, we’re cooked. If this many people are willing to give the government the benefit of the doubt, after what we’re dealing with…

This will not be benign, it will seem innocent at first, but we’ll have given up yet another seemingly simple thing that will eventually be used against us.

boy, I wonder what palantir backdoors they definitely won’t have.

His tariff playbook doesn’t work for tariffs either.

He’s just been itching to use a nuke since his first term. He has talked about it, joked, even suggested it might be on the table. Let history be your guide, this asshole has a pattern. I’m scared as hell.

What a fucking moron.

I would, but raising three schoolaged kids. Fuck me, never thought this would happen to the world, I was not prepared. Should have had kids 5 years earlier or later…

Thanks so much for the advice. I’ll look into it.

I actually have an ac180 for camping and using tools away from power. I kinda figured it was a bit of a waste as just a ups, and worried about killing the battery quickly.

Maybe get another dedicated one for the office where I need it…

Update- picked up a BLUETTI elite 30 for my PC. I’ll keep the 180 for what I need it for, and now I’ve got a smaller one if I need it. I almost bought another standard PC UPS, but I was swayed by the versatility.

I should probably look at the one on my server/network stack, probably getting close to time to swap the battery.

You have got to be goddamned kidding me. Literally this weekend I said to myself “time to get a UPS”.

Exactly, they are an important tool in normalizing a resistant mindset. They get headlines, and it shows others who might be on the fence that the movement is growing. It gives people hope, unifies them.

So even without a cause, we all know what we’re protesting. Normalize the resistance, make it ordinary, make it default. We’ve been listening to their bullshit long enough, I just want to some time to shout myself.

Then I come home motivated and get to work.

Been on it for years, but reminds me that it desperately needs a hardware upgrade. Seems like now is the right time.

Anyone have any good suggestions? I’m still running an old pcengines apu2.

People have become so willfully, purposely, proudly ignorant.

It’s because the real motivation isn’t the kids, it’s punishing women. Babies are just the marketing.
