  • Slightly Off-Topic:

    I never liked Discord. First and foremost, nowadays, I cannot log into it when I am using a VPN. And back when I could, it always felt so laggy and clunky.

    I think todays society is not used to performant software. Everyone just buys a new computer/smartphone every year or every 2 years or so, so they probably have compute power to run whatsoever. I run old shit. 13 year old desktops or so, with no dedicated graphics card, old smartphones, etc. I need software to be performant.











  • Do not buy YETI. Over expensive and too bulky for what they are. Also, their top screws on the inner part of the bottle, which just creates thousands of microplastics in your beverage.

    Look for a water bottle that screws on the outside of bottle. So, whenever you screw/unscrew, the microplastics are not falling in your beverage.

    I have a YETI and it is one of my worst purchases ever. Fuck YETI. Overexpensive BS.


  • Ya… I just lose any remaining faith/hope after seeing this kind of statistics. How is it possible, after all that has been happening under the Trump name, to still think that the country is “ok”.

    I am in the EU, but we have Trump apologists here as well, and our own version of right-wing people. They are basically all the same, a copy of each other. And every time I try to get some sense into them, I just find out that that is not possible. They just live in a completely different reality. Their brain is not receptive to facts and truth and any sort of empathy. They are highly emotional people, and their emotion is hate. They hate all groups of people that are not them. They are homophobic, they are transphobic, they are sexist, they are racist and they are xenophobic. They have no principles other than hate. They are not coherent in their beliefs, only hate. They are tribal.

    I just don’t see a way forward. I think we have to go without them. Maybe some of them, the ones that are not quite yet lost, can be reasoned with. Maybe the way to get them to change is to show them that their personal lives would improve under a leftist government. But convincing them of that is just so hard to do. You have to turn off their hate, which I have not been able to do it yet.
