  • if you think simple sexism wasn’t a major factor for a sizable portion of America, my friend, you’re out of touch.

    You need to go out to the country/mountain areas. I was out there when Hillary was running. My family are all red voters. Hell, my grandmother told me she would never vote for a woman as president. Paraphrasing her “Women are too emotional and what about once a month with hormones”. Yes, that’s a driving factor in A LOT of rural voters. Simple sexism.

    If sexism wasn’t a major factor in America, we wouldn’t have the massive incel problem we have. We wouldn’t have the constant “woke feminism” backlash bullshit.

    Pretending America isn’t sexist and isn’t contributing reasion why Hillary/Kamala lost is willfully ignorant.


  • I say this as someone who loves AOC and what she does…

    If AOC runs, she will lose.

    That’s just the state of the nation right now. The only thing America hates more than women is a progressive. The culture of the country right now is way too volatile. The country just isn’t ready for a female president. Not because a woman can’t do it… but because the country is way too far gone with sexism and misogyny.

    It was a long shot when Hillary ran, it was long shot when Kamala ran. If you think it’s not a long shot now after the MAGA crowd has been systematically destroying everything… and you want to run a Berniecrat woman? At this time? In this country?







  • 100% this.

    Leftist out here doing stupid purity tests, looking for some fairy tale candidate messiah. Gatekeeping anyone who isnt some perfect being. Because that’s representative of the normal human experience…

    The tattoo thing was ALWAYS overblown. Anyone who knows marines, especially young shithead marines, knew that tattoo thing was stupid. I believe that he and his fellow marines didn’t know what it was when he got it. Because most people just learned what it was. So many people just now, this week, hearing the word “totenkopf” for the first time in their lives and feigning outrage.

    I’ll even give you that maybe he found out later, knew what it was, but didn’t have it covered. And why?

    Because it didn’t matter. That’s not what the tattoo meant to him, and its not what anyone around him thought it was. He had no pressing reason to cover it. Maybe it even served as a reminder of his shithead past.

    It wasn’t until he got into the public eye when a bunch of terminally online nitpickers lost their shit that it actually became an issue to him to fix.

    And he did fix it IMMEDIATELY.

    And I’ve yet to see anyone who smugly reacted to the initial story with “so he got it covered right? right?” eat their words. Instead they’ve doubled down and moved the goal posts to “well, he should have had it covered forever ago”. Insufferable bullshit.

    My brother in law, also a prior marine, had tattoos of clovers. Because he’s Irish and thought they were cool. It wasn’t until after his service that he learned that clovers are common with skinheads. And because he want a job in teaching, he got them covered.

    This shit happens all the time. People making a stink about it are so far out of touch. They either need to touch grass, pull the stick out of their ass or the silver spoon out of their throat.

    The privileged pearl clutching to instead defer support to another Biden/Pelosi/Schumer corpo dinosaur is pathetic.

    tbf, I kinda can’t blame anyone for being critical of a review of a niche product. We live in a capitalistic influencer hellscape. We are post authenticity. Everything is a grift, everything is a hustle, everyone is a paid sponsor. Modern subversive advertising has made everyone suspicious of anyone who boasts a company or product.





  • Mainly that I don’t understand how to use containers… or VMs that well… I have and old MyCloud NAS and little pucky PC that I wanted to run simple QoL services on… HomeAssistant, JellyFin etc…

    I got Proxmox installed on it, I can access it… I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing… There was a website that allowed you to just run scripts on shell to install a lot of things… but now none of those work becuase it says my version of Proxmox is wrong (when it’s not?)… so those don’t work…

    And at least VMs are easy(ish) to understand. Fake computer with OS… easy. I’ve built PCs before, I get it… Containers just never want to work, or I don’t understand wtf to do to make them work.

    I wanted to run a Zulip or Rocket.chat for internal messaging around the house (wife and I both work at home, kid does home/virtualschool)… wanted to use a container because a service that simple doesn’t feel like it needs a whole VM… but it won’t work…
