Blocked from posting on lopsided posts. The system wants to demonize half the population and infantilize the other. I’ll post when it draws a crowd. Why waste the forums I’m not blocked from. Uncomfortable truths are free.

  • Picture if you will; a large government where checks and balances are out the window. A 2 party system co opted by a single force, where both sides are working towards a common goal, but they mask it with temporary solutions, they do this to keep the general populace too worried about paying bills than to concern themselves with something that doesn’t really impact them like government corruption. Within this system you have pillars of control, the police, militias, and military. The single entity deeply entwined with both political parties is feeding select agents into police forces, militias, and any military unit they can get assigned to. They do this to identify like minded individuals, individuals vulnerable to becoming an agent, and individuals that stand in the way. They plan over decades and decades making tiny advancements whenever the chance arises, a lever with constant pressure that takes any extra room available. The single entities end goal being to subvert the government, pass a single law, or series of laws with convoluted wording, and install some form of social system that kept just enough people comfortable that there isn’t enough rocking the boat, and installs themselves as either shadow, or public defacto leader. They need large number of police on their side to quell potential rioting, and military to keep allies at bay while the power transfer is completed. They have just been looking for the right person to force their hand long enough they feel complicit, and go along in the form of becoming an officially elected emperor, or empress. What would that look like? One party throwing siege hiels, while the other forces out a career politician to force in a district attorney that does what she’s told? Or would it look like white police brutalizing black people as a way of identifying who is safe to keep around? Would it look like supreme court justices granting themselves immunity to bribery? Or the same supreme court granting the president the power to do whatever so long as the president claims it was done for the country? Emperor Napoleon style. Can you picture it? What would it look like to you?


  • Who wants to be really fucking angry? I know something that will make any decent human being unreasonably angry. You know the 2 trillion Elongated bent Musky Penis intends to cut from medicare/medicaid/social security? Oh, you do? Good. If you know a group of disabled people living together, and maybe one died, or left to a more specific group home of sorts that caters to their disability, Elon the immigrant, considers the continued Citizen residents that now have an extra room, as committing fraud against whatever service is paying. According to Muskrat, if your old and or disabled, or young and disabled, generally just disabled at all, and your roommate dies, you are expected to move your entire life to a smaller area because it is fraud to continue living where you were living. This is the “fraud” they are going after. That, or does your aunt on medicaid sometimes have an extra pill or 2 left over, they want that reduced to none. No emergency pill, no “in case you drop one and can’t find it you old blind bat, here’s extra’s” this is the “fraud” they were referring to. Now that violence has been threatened by more than just Lil ol me, they can’t use it, they can’t sacrifice the weak like Ronald Mcdonald Reagan did. So they are going to have no where near 2 trillion to cut, unless we see an uptick in homeless and refugees in our own country.


  • I think there’s still one that deserves punishment. Didn’t act in violence, but acted as bait… Unless that was one of the new ones, bet they were assistants and the bait is still wandering free. Throw them into solitary and leave them until their term is up. I’m not trans, but I don’t need to be to see I don’t want people that are willing to do what they did, just running around society. Who the hell is next? They already went after a trans person that wasn’t harming anyone. Maybe they go after nuns next because they don’t like their vow to god… Idk just saying.









  • We as Citizens need to start acting like this is our damn country, and we deserve to have a minimum quality of life that isn’t garbage, just for being citizens, not even for working 40hrs a week at slave wages while billionaires make themselves incrementally into trillionaires. We deserve healthcare we can afford, we deserve housing we can afford, we deserve vehicles we can afford and don’t break down with planned obsolescence constantly. The rich deserve equal return on their investment to the effort they put into it. I don’t know exactly how that looks because I want retirement funds, and investments for the average person to actually pay, while the investments for the rich pay them enough to barely keep their quality of life. Probably caps on annual returns would do it, if the rich suddenly CAN’T take more from the stock market, then it goes to the poor’s cuz it has to go someplace. Is what I’m saying anti capitalism? No more than bailouts for failed businesses that cause recessions and giving their executives golden parachute leave packages, so anyone against it but for bailouts, isn’t a capitalist either. Giving capital to failed businesses is the antithesis of capitalism.


  • I quit streaming services around 4 months ago, determined the exact maximum streaming quality every device I own can handle, used a $60 used office PC from craigslist, admittedly I haven’t fully figured out how to get subtitles to work without transcoding, but I just need to sit down and figure it out at some point. I direct stream all of my content from a 10+ yr old PC and it uses less than 5% cpu while watching a 4k movie. I could stream to easily 5-10 PC’s and still likely be able to do software maintenance on the PC at the same time. That and with how jellyfin looks like a streaming service, with no transcoding it’s better than any streaming service. Nearly every streaming service you use is transcoding on the fly instead of storing 20versions of each video for direct streaming, direct streaming a previously encoded asset will always deliver a higher quality viewing experience.




  • I as a video game enthusiast do not want my character to experience romance. It doesn’t happen in real life the way it is portrayed in media, and it’s fucking boring seeing it over and fucking over again. Gimme tragedy, gimme a problem I can solve, a mystery, or a war to fight. But romance, and sex, have not a damn place in those things. Developers of apparently every damn media have gotten it drilled into their heads that we want to read, watch, play thru, and otherwise experience their mental masturbation. Well I for one, don’t fucking want to experience it at all. Gimme a story, and if you can’t do it without pointless sex scenes then you don’t have a fuckin story, you have a story about fuckin.


  • A true deity is a deity with or without anyone’s belief in them. The only reason for what we know as a “deity” to require stupid rules like “worship me, hold no others above me” would have been to force moronic cave dwellers to try to learn to act in a social civilized manner by fearing retribution if they didn’t, the only possible other reason is because they aren’t actually a deity and simply another mortal sentient on a power trip because it feels good to be adored and have people terrified at your feet. There really isn’t an inbetween, true immortals would find constant worship really fucking boring, so it would need to serve a purpose, the only creatures that would really enjoy being worshipped are mortals that will never live long enough to see how tedious and fucking boring it becomes “oh look, here comes jimothy again with a list of things he did bad, a pile of exotic fruit, and a jingle he made… I hope the jingles funny, I am so damn bored, and I’ve had all the fruit so many times it’s not exotic, just common… Or maybe that’s his son danjemin… Hard to tell, the names changes but the faces…” True immortals would rejoice in the individuals true uniqueness because it would be one of the few things that is mostly fresh per person, they wouldn’t care for the most part about things you did wrong because fucking everyone does bad shit, just be your best unique self, and try to do good, cuz everything else is just a fuckin repeating cycle.



  • The average person wouldn’t give a flying fart in the wind if tax cuts were funded by eliminating red tape, and removing things that actually didn’t make things safer, or more secure in availability. That said, I see no changes to medicaid to indicate things have gotten better for serving citizens, to me it looks like a Congress that is only useful to pass budgets, is cutting essential services and this is a recreation of Ronnie Reagans tax cuts that left mentally ill individuals to fend for themselves and die under a bridge from pneumonia. But, you have to understand Ronnie was fighting the soviets so your uncle that worked for 40 years paying into the system before their sanity shattered certainly didn’t mind losing their housing and begging just to put a warm meal in their belly. Let alone the potential fall out from cutting red tape that is there to protect people, and literally ANYONE that wants to bypass it is either making working conditions, products safety, and/or public safety worse. This should make it apparent to the average person the Republican party is NOT your friend. And they are no more patriotic than any idiot that can drape themselves in the flag while “born in the USA” plays over the PA.
