Something something dogs and cats ..

Updated my previous sign change, as it felt appropriate. For those who missed the original post, PEVAnce, for all those weirdos who never took their 2016 or 2020 signs down, Trump made it easy to update them for 2024.

Harley-Davidson caves to Republican demands, drops diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives
  • They've always been good at shooting themselves in the dick, and this just shows that they are just as cowardly as the "men" they sell masculinity reinforcement devices to. Not every Harley rider is one of those types, but when you only cater to a shrinking, bitter in-group, you eventually stop bringing in people who aren't part of that group.

    Killing the Nova right before the import revolution, then crying to Reagan to get their tariff passed, canning Buell, CEO who didn't ride, overpriced and underbuilt bikes, axing affordable modern models that appeal to new riders, failing to follow through with the Livewire, etc...

    The only thing they've really done right lately is the Pan-America actually having real ADV touring chops, but it's still too much money. It used to be that if you failed to innovate, you went out of business, but now they are letting themselves be bullied into a corner with no way out. Nevermind the fact that capitulating to the death cult that is the Conservative party just emboldens them to further attack other businesses, and eventually directly attack the groups that they are targeting.

    The youngest bike I own is 40 years old (all of my bikes are Honda's) and I've put nearly 30K miles on it in 5 years. The stereotypical Harley rider makes me embarrassed to call myself a rider sometimes.

  • Just Switch Over
  • I'm just waiting for better VR support (formerly WMR, now Quest 3), and my system (Thinkpad T15G) is Intel/Nvidia, occasionally with an Nvidia eGPU, and I've heard good support for that just isn't ready yet. Linux would be great if I had a budget to build something entirely optimized for Linux, but right now it's just not right for my system and budget.

    I plan on trying it out again soon, but I just don't have time for a new learning curve right now, even if I'm fairly tech savvy.

    The real reason trump picked JD

    Need to make it easy for the weirdos who never took down their signs...

    [Trump Shooting] Suspect was registered as Republican voter, state records show
  • The YT algo also drives the content further right. I keep getting recommended Herrera's channel, and if that's the kind of stuff you've got to compete against for views, it's just going to create a runaway phenomenon. If a tech literate, vaguely media literate leftist with a "mechanical porn" fetish can't stop getting recommended Right-wing political gun garbage, then the average viewer doesn't stand a chance...

  • [Trump Shooting] Suspect was registered as Republican voter, state records show
  • IIRC, DemoRanch uses (or at least used to) a portion of its income to run his Veterinarian clinic, but that is a few years old and it looks like he stepped back from the business in 2021? I fell off from most of YouTube before the pandemic, so I'm bummed but not surprised that he's a Trump guy.

  • At Justice Alito’s House, a ‘Stop the Steal’ Symbol on Display
  • Ugh, did they really co-opt flying the fucking flag upside down? I deliberately put the dumb little flags that came with my shooting earmuffs on upside down because it works well with my "defend equality" patch... This country is in crisis and the fascists are the reason why.

  • Target Pride merchandise only available at select stores after rightwing backlash
  • I know, and I've known gay men who think the same thing, I'm just contributing my 2¢. Bi-erasure is something that I deal with fairly routinely as a blue collar worker, and I feel that gay folks having an anti-hetero bias is more hurtful than straight people having a hetero bias because I expect to find more community from other LGBT people because I can't always expect it as a baseline from straight people.

  • Target Pride merchandise only available at select stores after rightwing backlash
  • It's funny in the context, but as a bisexual guy in a poly relationship, it really bums me out when other queer people treat the appearance of heterosexual as a demerit (see gold star lesbians, etc...). Humans aren't binary in any way, but we act like we can only be attracted to genitals and not have exceptions to a general rule because of an emotional connection.

  • Teacher who resigned after her OnlyFans page was discovered says new employer fired her for violating social media policy
  • You are equating hiring someone who makes and sells their own porn to hiring someone who subscribes to a hateful, violent ideology. They absolutely aren't the fucking same. One is a legal adult legally providing a digital service to other legal adults, and the other is a member of a group known specifically for violence to advance racial superiority. Only one of those people does anything that could ever lead to another person being harmed or threatened, and as such only one of them should be driven out of society by any means necessary. This is not a "both sides" thing, this is discrimination against someone who has caused no harm, plain and simple.
