It's a Seinfeld thing...
  • Weird, I watched this 2 nights ago.

    I came up with a theory that the scientists were the last people on earth.

    Windows starts the movie talking about how they haven't reached anyone via radio for 2 weeks - maybe the thing had already taken over earth and the scientists in Antarctica were the last remnants of humanity?

    I guess that doesn't jive with the spaceship the Norwegians found, but idk

    Bernie Sanders to voters skipping presidential election over Israel: ‘Trump is even worse’
  • To me, this just means there's no evil great enough that our politicians could commit that would make you start questioning the validity of our government and electoral process. This is the liberal idealism that leftists talk about.

    Is this accurate? Is there any evil great enough that would compel you to start considering tearing it all down?

    Red Dead Redemption on Steam
  • This game was sort of before my time. Got to experience 2 on a beefy gaming PC, so I'm hyped for the zombie mode.

    As I was playing 2, I was constantly thinking to myself: "this would be a prime game to mod some zombies into". Was surprised to hear they'd already done it in 1.

    Hopefully they ported it well.

  • Also the implication that a subset of Americans are sexist because they won't vote for a woman who has expressed unwavering support in continuing a genocide.

  • It is widely believed that while the Soviet Union may have produced these benefits, in the end, Soviet public ownership and planning proved to be unworkable. Otherwise, how to account for the country’s demise? Yet, when the Soviet economy was publicly owned and planned, from 1928 to 1989, it reliably expanded from year to year, except during the war years. To be clear, while capitalist economies plunged into a major depression and reliably lapsed into recessions every few years, the Soviet economy just as unfailingly did not, expanding unremittingly and always providing jobs for all

    Any recommendation for a cheap, small #firewall for my #homelab ? I realized I can’t control easily what goes out of my network only via DNS block lists
  • If you're considering building your own firewall, you've started down a long path of homelabbing. I'd encourage you to start with a proper setup and allow yourself plenty of room to grow. You want your setup to be extensible, and the firewall is just the beginning.

    I'd grab at least a 15U rack and a Dell poweredge R210. Throw in a gigabit nic and install OPNsense. You'll have room for your switches, NAS, UPS, etc... later.

    There Is No Precedent for Something Like This in American History
  • I don't think this take is entirely fair.

    Leftists were claiming Trump was a fascist right at the beginning of his campaign. Immediately, liberals started rejecting this notion due to "reductionism". To liberals, the idea of a fascists rising to become a viable candidate was unthinkable. How could our civil, enlightened system allow for such a candidate? Liberals didn't answer this question, and instead just rejected the idea of rising fascism wholesale.

    For years, leftists have been sounding alarm bells about Trumpist fascism, only to be answered by asinine mainstream media pieces denying the claim. And now that liberals have sat on their asses and let fascism fester, theyve started pointing fingers inwards and to the left. Liberals are now blaming American fascism on leftists who refuse to vote for genocide. It could not be more in line with the historical blueprint: fascism takes rise, liberals start casting off leftists first to burn.

    So I'm not sure whether your comment was coming from a leftists perspective or a liberal one, but to say that liberals knew all along about the impending threat of fascism is wrong. Leftists did, however.

    If you did the slightest bit of reading about this topic, you'd understand this statement is patently false.

    Between the beginning of 1951 and mid-1955, about 1.5 million persons migrated from East Germany to West Germany. During the same period, about 300,000 persons went from West Germany to East Germany.
