I’m in that country and can’t disagree. I was just paraphrasing the line from the Joker movie to a friend of mine,“We’re going to get exactly what we deserve.”

Russia, China, and Iran. Just doing their normal shitty stuff.

I’m going to go with you being crazy. Although based on your mention of “deja vu” and the number “4”, I did see djview4. I don’t think that’s what you wanted though.

If I found out someone bugged my bathroom, I think I’d apologize for what they heard.

The history of that Island, the stark differences between Haiti and the DR, is just painful.

I like command line stuff, so I use newsboat for the reader, and then yt-boat to download. yt-boat uses yt-dlp as it’s backend, but I’ve never had a problem with yt-dlp not downloading or asking for credentials though.

Config an RSS reader for the channels you follow on youtube. Watch the videos locally after downloading them. That’s what I do.

I always hear people bitching about the “no choice” of voting, but they never seem to be around during the primaries, when they could make a difference.

I hate a lot of things for stupid reasons

I had to check to see if I was about to reply to myself.

I can’t remember the last time I bought a PC. I just incrementally upgrade over the years. I would be disappointed if they came out with a PC that only ran with their flavor though.

Mutually assured destruction was supposed to be a deterrent to anyone using nukes. Not to enable an aggressor force to do what they want without repercussions out of fear that they would use nukes. If they use nukes, at a minimum they’ll no longer exist. Probably along with the rest of us.

Turkey should just drop out of NATO if they want to support Russia. Or be kicked out.

$40.50

It just uses nitrogen. You can order a bottle of nitrogen from Amazon. That, a plastic bag, and some tape, you’re good to go. When I learned that, I felt way more secure about my choice to kill myself, hopefully years and years from now. As long as something doesn’t happen sooner to take the choice out of my hands.

When I looked it up here, it looks like it already only takes about 8 hours, granted with a transfer. And surprisingly inexpensive.

I remember going from “I totally get this guy” for the first half to “oh…crap, this guy is actually a nutcase shithead” by the end.

That was my thought as well. I’m also thinking it might be a challenge to get something to read them in 100 years.

M-Disc?

I’m no expert, but I think KeePassXC doesn’t need to sign in to a server somewhere.

koreader is my goto reader, on my tablet and phone. The interface is a bit unintuitive, but once you get it set up to your liking, it’s a great reader.
