I would go as far as saying that we should group these two together in the “bad person” part of any meme

Reagan might be the root cause for most if not all of the woes of the American political landscape. What I wouldn’t do to be able to deface his grave

I think that - on a global scale - a fair amount of people has cause to be grateful to Trump. Whether it’s intended or not, he’s tearing down the current geopolitical statu quo and waking up people politically.

On the flipside, I do worry that we narrowly avoided the fire in order to stay in the pan, to subvert the old saying. Over in Canada, we reelected a party that has a lot of flaws, and that their defining benefit is “isn’t the conservative right”. I’m glad we avoided a conservative sweep, but let’s not pretend the shady opposition is significantly better.

They finally found the culprit for the shit state of the United State: It’s all those pesky german young adults backpacking through the world and visiting Hawaii for like a few weeks or something!

“How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States?” Bukele said.

The Trump administration, which claims he is a gang member, has admitted that Abrego Garcia, a married father of three who lives in Maryland, was deported due to an administrative error.

This story is so painful to read and follow, JFC

Bro it’s a bipartisan issue, I ain’t maga for calling out AIPAC. Trump is ALSO owned by Israel.

“Mostly stable”. I’ve had my fair share of issues with Windows.

But one of the big benefit is that it is much easier to diagnose an issue on Windows, just by sheer volume of mainstream usage (IE users complaining about issues and seeking help online). Also, tech support won’t turn you around because you are on Linux, an OS they straight up refuse to support.

I had the same outlook before switching to Arch Linux, but honestly gaming on Linux is actually the lesser of my hassle. I can genuinely just grab msi files or exe files for games and feed them to Steam to get them playing via Proton. There’s only one (1!) game that I can’t play, and I’m 99% certain it’s a problem with my hardware, not my OS (Monster Hunter Wilds seems to hate my GPU and crash all the time). But even that was fixed with a mod (up until the latest update).

With that said, I’ve had a lot of hassle handling other things that are upstream of gaming so it’s not like you’re unreasonable in wanting an OS that is mostly stable. Then again, I made the decision to use Arch Linux, there’s distros that are simpler afaik.

Kind of crazy how much noise people make on baseless claims of Trump being a Russian asset, but AIPAC is bragging in broad daylight about their control on US government.

C’est tellement tannant de voir l’attitude du gouvernement Legault vis-a-vis Montreal.

J’ai pas grand chose d’autre a dire… Il est peut-etre temps que j’appelle mon representant pour manifester mon degout.

Somewhat inconvenient but fun thought experiment

The branches I wanna work with are too long and needs too much material removed for drill to be a realist tool. I could try it out just to confirm that theory, I guess.

Had no idea those were a thing, I’ll be reading up on them, thanks!

This is a new tool to me, I might look to nab a used one off market place or something. Thanks for the suggestion!

Yeah I’ve been meaning to get a chisel set, of the few projects I did I certainly had a few moments where I thought a chisel would be handy.

Indeed, I think splitting the branch will be mandatory to get some carving done.

I’m not sure what would be the best tool to do the carving, however. I’m considering getting some wood scissors, because it’s not immediately obvious to me which power tool could carve out material with a nice mix of accuracy and efficiency.

I don’t know man, the north Atlantic ocean isn’t that arbitrary. I’m just saying that our population has been burned out worrying about super high level stuff that doesn’t impact them as much as neighborhood activism.

I’m not accusing you of being a trumpist, but Trump literally called the US-Canada border an arbitrary line, so maybe try a different talking point for this topic?

I’m not in favor of this.

We don’t need more super-national institution telling us what to do. I’m on board for good relations and for taking ideas from them, but we need to stop giving power to distant institutions that aren’t truly invested in our success.

Hey chad, I hadn’t heard of CachyOS until you brought it up, good on you for finding an OS that matches your needs and going for it

I’m on good ol’ Arch Linux with plasma KDE

I swapped from Windows 10 specifically because I didn’t want to be in the Windows 11 and forward environment. (I use Arch btw)

I really don’t regret it, the set up was really painful but once that was done, the KDE had so many good features that I immediately felt at home. I’m floored by how good Proton/Steam is at handling games, I don’t think I’ve had to skip on any game due to my OS (so far).
