Vice President JD Vance claimed Shirley did “far more useful journalism than any of the winners of the 2024 @pulitzercenter prizes,” and Attorney General Pam Bondi lauded Shirley’s video. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced thatU.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement investigators were on the “ground in Minneapolis right now conducting a massive investigation on childcare and other rampant fraud.”

JFC what a bunch of morons, now he’s got people copying him, they’re going to get someone killed, AGAIN, and they’ll just write it off. What kind of fucking maniacs just show up at day care centers to investigate, what is wrong with these people? GOP is the party of lies and death and the reckoning cannot come quick enough for these manipulative assholes. Life clearly means nothing to them so I don’t want to hear any more pro life bullshit, you can’t pick and choose with that shit, either life is sacred or not, they just want more brain dead consumers.

Yeah, sure, we’ve all seen that movie.

This looks great for ITB musicians, I’m a recent switcher (W10>LMDE7), does anyone have any resources for more standalone programs? MIDI sequencers, librarians… in particular I’m looking to replace a program called MIDI-OX from Windows, or even just a simple program to send a sysex file to an external MIDI device. I’ve found a lot of different programs to manipulate MIDI data streams, but not a currently supported one to send sysex.

Edit: I did find Elektroid which looks to do a lot of things I need, including sampler transfers, nice!.. https://github.com/dagargo/elektroid

Little boys like to play with toys.

I think now carrying a tracking device on them at all time made teenagers less free as well.

It’s just been on so long, it feels like it doesn’t have any teeth left, ya’know. They can skewer whoever they want and it’s just like 'Oh, South Park, you’re so cheeky xD". It’s almost an honor.

Sure, I can be a patriot too for millions of dollars a week lol. Give me a break.

They better start working on AI consumers pretty soon.

It’s amazing watching tankie jerkers automatically assume they know exactly who people are within 2 seconds of talking to them.

These people are unhinged I’m just not gonna engage anymore for my mental health.

Thanks for the response without calling me a racist plantation worshiper. That makes a lot of sense and I didn’t mean to offend anyone, I just know that a lot of people would love socialist policies but that symbolism is linked to something else entirely, I know it’s stupid, it’s not me personally, and it was just a thought to try to further expand socialism’s reach by bringing it into the 21st century. Be well.

Yeah, it’s just me. lol.

Yeah I gotcha, I suppose there’s two types of people in those situations: those who will put down the games and see them as a distraction or waste of time in the face of all the other things they have to do and all the serious/bad things going on in the world, or those who dive full on in and escape the world through gaming. Another perspective, games used to be light and fun, hella challenging, but still fun, you could pick them up and put them down. Nowadays if you stop playing a game for a week or two you almost have to start over, at least that’s how it is for me with my sieve brain. I’m also in the US.

I’d definitely agree with that, I was a much bigger gamer when I was a kid/teen/YA, the only real franchises were Pac Man, Mario and Donkey Kong, so the field was wide open with all sorts of new and innovative games, the sorts of games that are still coming out but just harder to find. I feel like there’s a lot of people just looking a the AAA titles being announced in the presses and then just being underwhelmed when there’s a lot more going on, but as you said there’s a lot more to life as an adult so that can be too much time. On the upside, a lot of those indie games are much shorter so you can find time to play them.

There is just so much choice it’s insane, every day there’s dozens of new games out. There’s some real gems in the indie game space, I feel like gaming is kinda following how music went now. All the major labels are putting out crap, you have to look at the indie labels for good stuff, but that can be a lot of work in itself.

“Graphics are good enough now that literally anything in your imagination can be brought to life”
“Ok, lets make everything look as close to reality as possible :D”

That reminds me, I saw some Pac Man collection the other day, the old 2600/7800/arcade games, it was a few games and some history stuff, it was 17 GIGABYTES, FOR PACMAN.

Is there any value to make 2 million Hitler documentaries? No, but they do it anyways.
