the haters, the racists, the sexists, the homophobes, the gun fondlers, the diesel fume huffers, and the bible thumpers vote repulbican every. single. time.

too many democrats jump ship and stay home, vote for the no chance party, or republican if a candidate doesn’t support every little policy and issue they want or who supports something they don’t. even if the fate of the nation and democracy is at stake, they’ll abandon reason.

if xfce is what you want, try a custom install (using dvd1) and just pick xfce instead of the gnome default during tasksel. you will get a few desktop applications like libreoffice and firefox esr, but those are easily removed if you don’t want or want to replace them. using dvd1 as my install source, wired and wireless drivers were set up during install, were available during install, and were ready to go on first boot to xfce (on an am3 pavilion desktop test system).

i have the tapes, lots of tapes. all recorded off of tv. vcr quit working years ago, though. but i do have another at the office. used like three times in the last 15 years to digitize old home movies for someone.

World of Warcraft’s monetization seems to be getting way more aggressive

wisconsin gonna wisconsin. voted in a diaper, twice, too. i wish i could afford to leave this state.

nearly all the single-issue voters on the right vote in lock-step unison, and have for decades.

democrats and progressives seem to just toss in the towel if they aren’t getting everything they want, right now.

it takes time to build something great, it takes but a moment to destroy it all. welcome to total destruction.

pardon is a power granted by the constitution.

states are, for the most part, in control of their own election process.

biden can’t do a thing about either. and anything he does on his own, such as via executive order, will just be undone on dictator day.

similar issues with other titles or just that one file?

programs with tickers often have something on a portion of it, especially sporting events. at least it’s only a program promo and not a flashy animated thing for a prescription drug or something.

a midwestern knockoff of a lowes with some extra product selection you’d find at a walmart or farm store; owned by a far-right, anti-union billionaire.

i tried checking at walmart, but they haven’t carried it since the early 1970s

180 pieces of the ‘fun size’ they packaged back in the 1980s would have been a haul.
