I wouldn't mind celebrating Bastille Day. Krasnov can be the centerpiece of the occasion. CHOP

I am using a portion of my savings to prepare before things run dry. Some extra food, but mostly renovations or big ticket items. New sink and a bidet toilet, my first ever smartphone, physical cash in the form of Euros, a 24tb drive to prep for replacing my Windows OS with Linux, a gun club membership and ammo, ect.

Before Trump was a thing, I was planning on just sitting on my life savings and let it grow, only touching it when I hit 60 or 70. That is out the window, since odds are that Trump's regime will kill me for being an progressive autistic. Fun times. 😩

McDonald's is a real estate business, that just happens to specialize in generic burgers as a brand. It isn't a surprise that the company doesn't care about a quality dining experience, when repairing icecream machines was a money maker for them.

This is the kind of BS that leads to you being unable to buy warm food with food programs. A box of fried or baked chicken costs $26 for 24 pieces, which can feed me for 2-3 days, saving me money in the long run. A hot pizza is $13. A rotisserie from CostCo is about $6.

People should make the decisions about their food stamps, because they are familiar with how to best feed themselves. Your typical WalMart employee has to rely on food stamps and other benefits, because WalMart doesn't want to pay a living wage. An initiative like RFK's is designed to punish the poor for failing to be born with a silver spoon.

This isn't about helping people to make better decisions, it is about depriving them the good things in life.

Definitely not trivial to do. You need to use GPU passthrough to allow a VM to have a GPU, which requires manually figuring out a whole bunch of PCI addresses, among other technical things. If you fear the terminal, you will have a bad time.

You summoned the bear.

Picked up a 24tb external drive. My video collection and stuff is going onto it, so that I can nuke my PC's drives and start fresh. The odds of Microsoft being a Trump Regime collaborator are high, so I want to be ready to hop out of the frypan when the time comes.

Aside from that, I have been ripping and converting my discs again. AV1 offers nice space savings. Patlabor, OG Dragonball, documentaries, all will be updated.

I wouldn't be surprised if DOGE nationalizes Tesla and puts it under Musk's command. Gotta have Cyber Tanks for the regime, right?

I bet ICE would be reined in if rich conservatives got targeted...

An Weird Al parody called "America, Fuck No!"

With every month that passes, a conviction grows in me: "Billionaires shouldn't exist."

Sad thing, that original song would still apply - but now for safe baby food, carrots, or maybe a sack of flour. A lot of people are going to do things that they never expected to do.

We are going to live an cursed existence. 💩
