  • I’m not religious either, but I’m aware of the core principles of Christianity. Trump is the embodiment of greed, and goes heavily against what the Bible teaches, look no further than “love thy neighbor.” He actively goes against that core principle daily. I’m sure someone has done a full write up of all the things trump has done that’s against the Bibles teachings, yet these Bible loving “”“Christians”“” swear he’s the second coming of Jesus and was appointed by god.

    It’s a cult, plain and simple. Christians follow him because a good amount of them are conservative, because their believe is only surface level. It’s only faith when it’s convenient and “against gods wishes or whatever” when it’s against their conservative beliefs.

    Christians that belive trump is the greatest and sent to us by god haven’t read the same fucking book they’re constantly quoting, they’re hypocrites and traitors to themselves and their supposed beliefs. He is in fact the antichrist according to these people’s own book.

    This is the true Trump Derangement Syndrome, because once again, every accusation is a confession of the Repulikkkan party.





  • Yes and no, my main system is EndeavourOS as well as one laptop that stays docked in the bedroom as a media PC. My HTPC is running Mint with KDE, my Steam Deck is stock SteamOS, my MacBook Pro is running Asahi Linux, server running TrueNAS and Raspberry Pi’s running stock Raspberry Pi OS. Mainly I just like KDE, and have a preference for Arch based systems.

    I prefer EndeavourOS and haven’t had issues with it for a couple years now, but Mint on the HTPC was a reason to try Mint and I just left it alone except for swapping Cinnamon for KDE. Asahi is the only option for M1 MacBooks so no choice there. Pi OS I never really use the system as a computer, I just have one running PiHole and another running a digital calander for the wife and I, so I only interact with them through ssh or web portals. My Steam Deck works perfectly fine as is and I mainly just use the Steam launcher anyway so no point changing it. The TrueNAS system I mainly use through a web portal or SMB so it’s fine.


  • Not only that but there wasn’t even a notification on the dashboard for me after updating the OS that k3s were being replaced, I found out after updating when my apps wouldn’t work. When did I update? About 2 weeks after the migration deadline. Had to rebuild my Plex, Jellyfin and Immich apps.

    Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like notifications from the OS developer in my system, but that would’ve been a great heads up and a worthy exception. “Hey migrate your apps now or your shit will break” would’ve worked.

    They order 2 different brands of these gloves for us at work, one brand is black the other is blue. The blue ones must be made from recycled paper machê finely coated in wax because the second you touch them they rip. Half of them have visible thin spots that will rip removing them from the box.

    The black gloves are the GOAT, I’ve gotten them caught on metal and they don’t rip.

    I horde the black gloves when we get them in

    Had a 90s Suburban with almost 300k miles for a while as a hand-me-down from my parents, we owned it for about 10 years between us. The check engine light was always on, no matter what we did. Every sensor changed, code reset, everything we could think of. The truck ran like it was off the factory floor, no issues at all. Eventually the bulb burned out since it was always on.

    I recently talked to the guy I sold it to 10 years ago, he still drives it! He loved it when he first drove it and has put a lot of miles on it only needing usual maintenance like brakes and a fuel pump. That old 5.7L Vortec sure is bulletproof but I’m sure he’s not happy about it’s 42 gal gas tank right about now.


  • I fully agree with most of your list, except Bioshock. I love Bioshock and think it’s a work of art.

    Halo overhaul mods are definitely not my vibe, even back on the original PC port. They change too much about the game where they’re just making a new game with Halo assets. My only exception to that is InfernoPlus’s Cursed Halo which are just fun as hell.






  • Marketing and vehicle regulations have made it more profitable for car manufacturers in North America to sell trucks and large SUVs as “family cars”, so over the last 30+ years the industry has been pushing them hard. Trucks and SUVs are classified as light trucks, which have different fuel economy requirements which are more laxed than those for passenger cars. Small cars are being marketed out.

    So of course it boils down to corporate greed chasing more money as well as garbage regulations. That’s why the Ford f150 is almost always the best selling vehicle in the US.

    Not Just Bikes has a few videos on the topic.

    Call of Duty Warzone.

    When it first released it was a very fun battle royale, a much better implantation than CoD’s first go at it, Blackout. You could actually buy back your teammates if they die, they added the Gulag as a chance to come back if you’re killed, you can create loadouts and use money you find in game to buy them. The map was big and expansive and you could usually find some interesting places to drop and not get absolutely dumped on immediately.

    My friends and I played it for a long time, both on PS4 and later PC. When they moved the map to Black Ops Cold War’s version I’d argue it was a bit of an improvement even though all the Cold War guns outshined the Modern Warfare 2019 guns. That was the start of the decline in my eyes. Making the guns from the new game perform better than from the old one was how they pushed you to buy the new CoD so you could level up the guns and play better in Warzone.

    Warzone moved to Vanguard’s Caldera map, which I think was a fantastic map, had some cool limited time modes and events, but at first they had some kind of issue with the light rendering because it wasn’t the easiest to spot enemies or items on the map. They fixed that and it was fine, we had some amazing games and lots of fun on Caldera.

    Then they released Warzone 2.0 (which was arguably Warzone 4.0 but that’s an argument for a different day) using the Modern Warfare 2 engine. It was a very bad Warzone. The map was boring, the sound effects like hit markers by default were new and ear piercingly awful, and whatever rendering system they used made it extremely difficult to see enemies. Keep in mind I’m running this game on a 3090 so it’s not a graphics issue, it’s an engine one. Also on that note, the game literally struggled to run on my friends 3070 and 3060 12G cards. It was bad.

    We stopped playing for a long time, moved onto other things, then did try again when MW3’s version came out. It was fine, map was better but the engine still had the rendering enemies issue.

    Between the bad changes they made, the horrible monetization with the obnoxious skins and shit, at one point there was a gun you could only unlock through the battle pass or buy a skin for later which was an OP gun, and a plague of other issues we stopped playing. The game stopped being a fun shooter with friends and just became a slog to play. If we could go back to the original 2020 Warzone we would, but even when they rereleased Verdansk in MW3 it wasn’t the same.
