  • I don’t like Joe Biden, I’ll never forget the Neoliberal bullshit he did with the Republicans in the 90s we are still suffering from further eviscerating the safetynet to the draconian war on people suffering addiction. He’s one of the OG former opposition party members the Reagan Revolution convinced to take the bigger bribe checks from Wall Street than Unions could ever match, today’s neoliberal(D) party.

    That said, I voted for him in the last election, and I will again out of harm reduction. He has improved on policy, but l even if he didn’t, the American people do not get a vote on whether or not to elect a senile President this cycle.

    You can have any President you like, as long as he’s senile. If you vote, we’ll get a senile President. If you don’t, we’ll get a senile President.

    The question is whether you want senile and gleefully cruel®, or just senile(D). I’ll take just senile.



  • We’re destroying our own habitat, not to mention the habitat of other life that isn’t actively burning the very ground beneath their feet, all out of sociopathy, greed, and ego. We’re competing against one another over ego scores, leaving people homeless and exposed to our ever hotter climate as it burns all to see which owner can get the highest score in their exploitation competition before they have to retreat to their luxury bunkers to sip aged booze and revel in the nostalgia of their past exploitative conquests for their last years without a drop of guilt, mischief managed.

    The idea that our species will continue to gather to celebrate the supposed nobility of human competition, as our many self-created existential crises born of competing against one another close in around us, is gallows hilarious to me.

    Homeostasis with our only world and cooperation with one another should have been humanity’s business, especially when the scientists started warning us of what we were doing about a century ago.

    Is what it is, enjoy watching athletes collapse of heat stroke in the spirit of competition.

    Remember, small impressionable children, oligarchy and rigged market capitalism is the only way, everything else is evil and anti-freedom, and remember to compete against your fellow Americans to try to get more than them!

    For our next lesson, critical thinking and reasoning! Just kidding, we don’t do that here. It doesn’t help to make you better laborers.

    And now onto history, open your textbooks to page 33:






  • The goal of modern, blood sucking, publically traded business is to exploit as much value from employees as possible for the smallest wage possible.

    Unless you work for a coop or a genuinely benevolent small business, and in the US that’s rarely you, your goal ought to be to provide the least value possible for the highest wage possible, which is very doable once hired to a salaried position for a good long time, because big corporate is almost as incompetent as it is greedy. You can usually even do this while endearing yourself to your higher ups, as long as you fake caring about the bullshit corporate culture to their faces, while undermining the organization where you safely can. Not full on sabotage or fraud, just thinking about the better, faster way to do things, and finding the opposite way in which to do them, etc.

    They don’t operate on honesty or integrity, and if we try to fight them on those terms, we’ll be placed where all the honest discontented peasants that fight back earnestly end up, in a cardboard box under a freeway. The capitalists love to crow about how voluntary capitalism is, and that’s what they mean, volunteer to be their battery, or volunteer to die of exposure and police capital defense force harassment.

    The class war was fully lost half a century ago, the owners won by convincing the Reaganites there was no class war, proceeding to conquer without a fight. This is class occupation. All we have is guerilla tactic resistance.

    You can use steam link, or even better sunshine/moonlight, and have the best of both worlds if your local network is strong.

    I can play fully modded Skyrim/Fallout4/Cyberpunk/Starfield on any screen in the house.

    I don’t even see the point of a steam Deck, I use a regular 10inch tablet with a kickstand running moonlight and an Xbox controller in bed.
