  • Vance is in the new evil empire crowd and has been for a very long time.

    Thiel, Musk, Vance, Yarvin, Masters and a cast of the worst people on earth have plans.

    Consider that Peter Thiel bankrolled JD Vance and that he, musk, zuck, et al have essentially established a technocratic state within the new admin. https://www.ft.com/content/408fb864-5831-4b1d-beef-fd1966b3beed

            The Wall Street Journal reported that Musk might support that PAC to the tune of around $45 million per month. Musk has denied that specific claim since, but the America PAC, which is run by Lonsdale, appears to be created to support the “PayPal Mafia” worldview — which includes (and indeed depends on) the bankruptcy of the United States.

            At least PayPal had a suitably grand mission—the kind that post-bubble skeptics would later describe as grandiose: we wanted to create a new internet currency to replace the U.S. dollar.

    And one final, very important thought:

  • “The joint statement by the DOJ and FBI of July 6 remains as accurate today as it was when it was written,” he said.

    If it was 0% accurate when it was written, then it remains 0% accurate today.

    Word fuckery.

  • This is exactly how I got into Linux .

    Had some... Life troubles.

    Started over.

    Needed computer.

    Local community employment/outreach/social support place had a volunteer run computer place in the basement (they also had a bike place, and a cafe or two, and some apartments, and they were the best community org ever..).

    100$

    I bought 2 over a couple years.

    I'm pretty sure they had xubuntu.

    Over 10 years later I still have both. And I just put mint 23xfce on one and use it as my living room media player - dvi to HDMI projector.

    I have no need for a lot of stuff. I make work what I can. And I keep it working as long as I can however I can.

  • More than likely the app package that is irritating you is called:

     
        
    com.android.wallpaper.livepicker
    
      

    Or something similar.

    Without knowing your android aversion though, I can't say for certain.

    To check for the package using ADB

     
        
    adb shell pm list packages -a live
    
    
      

    This will show you all packages which have the word 'live'

    You can disable it using ADB using the command:

     
        
    adb shell pm disable <package name>
    
      

    You can also use a GUI tool like Universal Android Debloater

    UAD-ng

    As always, backup and use caution.

  • Dude. I was talking to my friend about this.

    He's going to see ministry... But they're doing their before they were ministry album tour.

    It's insane these guys released what they did ater this. They shaped a generation of music and style.

    And basically formed my political foundations as an early teen in the early 90s when I opened up the CD liner notes and read the lyrics to tin omen.

    Got to see them perform as Download along with tear garden once.

    Which was a bit funny - I've never been a follower of any "scene" - so we get to the show and everyone is all blacked hair and makeup and trenchcoats and I'm wearing this super shiny bright green polo shirt and a suede leather 3/4 length trenchcoat and a toque. And they were looking at me like I was the weird one. (I was. Still am)

    God I miss those days.

    Anyway. Thanks for the excuse to post something from Stanley park.

  • If there is an afterlife, I hope his eternity is as a female disabled minority lgbt poor slave and the devil fucks him daily and he is forced to give birth to himself - dying in labor. Remembering each time. And not just remembering, but reliving the suffering of the millions he joyfully decided should suffer.

  • Oddly, I've never read Fahrenheit 451.

    Read the speech. Spot on. And i love the writing style. Found the pace of my internal audio sped up and down with the way he spoke. Reminded me of Harrison bergeron in a way.

    Will definitely read the book.

    Yep.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again (it almost seems obvious, if not completely insane):

    All the media we have been presented in our lives, has been propaganda and prophecy.

    Behavior modifications and warnings and desensitization of what the future was to be, now is.

    Some of it dumbed down the masses and washed their minds free of thought - hello marvel cinematic universe, fast and furious, reality TV, Facebook, idiocracy, etc

    Some sent signals through the fray - Vonnegut, Bradbury, pkdick, Asimov, Huxley, Orwell, idiocracy, etc. But especially SciFi/speculative fiction writers.

    On the whole, it seems all the dystopian futures have merged.

    I sometimes half jokingly comment to myself 'I wish people would stop writing our future like this. Maybe someone could write us a happy future."

    Or maybe it's our collective consciousness fulfilling its collectively accepted belief that the future can only be what we've been exposed to.

    After all,

    "One hundred repetitions three nights a week for four years."

    Thought Bernard Marx, who was a specialist on hypnopædia.

    "Sixty-two thousand four hundred repetitions make one truth."

  • "I’ve heard over and over the word 'elite' being used. I think sometime that that term gets overused. But if you’re familiar with our Special Enforcement Bureau, they’re the best of the best," Luna said.

    Well, it isn't going to be overused anymore.

  • The deportation of democrats and lefties and undesirables and the deaths of those cut off medicaid/care and starving kids, oh, yeah, and the nuclear war.

    Back of the mind worry/conspiracy theory:

    You really thing trump suddenly changed his mind about putin after 40 years? Trump arms Ukraine, Putin gets mad, nukes a blue state trump fulfills his promise "blue states will disappear from the map", Q gets their great solar flash of 2025, and welcome to hell.

  • Breaking news:

    We got nothing.

    While there are thousands of worthwhile scandals, corruption, evil, and actually important stories to cover, we'll just give you a blank stare until you're lulled to sleep so you don't panic because you really should be fucking panicking.
