Meh. It’s your vote. And it doesn’t really matter anyway.

I doubt that even Wilt Chamberlain has eaten that much pussy.

I just shrugged and decided I didn’t really need to see that music video after all, so I added youtube URLs to /etc/hosts and mapped them to “0.0.0.0”.

I don’t understand your question. Care to clarify?

Only if you’ve been mistaking what you find in the litter box for tootsie rolls.

I automate all of my bill payments. Otherwise, I might forget to pay one or two and end up paying late fees, having service cut off, etc.

My parents were terrible about paying bills on time, and we got evicted at least once before they simply forgot to pay the fucking rent on time.

Before this was possible, I’d sit down on the last day of every month with a stack of envelopes and stamps, and I’d cut the month’s checks so I could drop them in the mail a week ahead of time. Luckily I didn’t actually have to mail the rent check; the landlord lived downstairs.

Honeymoon in New York City. My wife and I get back to our hotel after seeing Wicked on Broadway with the original cast. Our suitcase is full of cockroaches. They heard my wife screaming twelve floors down.

Might be nice for comics if you’re into that.

If I had known about PocketBook I might not have bothered with my Kobo. But my Kobo Elipsa is nice.

Homophones are a bitch. I know a guy who insists that “Except” is a German speed metal band.

How about you vote for yourself? Who else can you trust to represent you if not yourself?

PSL are a bunch of losers. They can’t even win local elections, let alone put any of their people in state or Federal offices.

My approach is the same as it’s been since 1996: FUCK THE REPUBLICANS.

I don’t need to follow the news. I don’t need to pay attention to dumbfuck liberals or self-styled progressives online. I know the score, and I know what to do. “Vote blue no matter who?” Fuck you, you self-righteous, terminally online shitfountain; I’ve been doing that since I turned 18.

Why? Because GOP = KKK, and has been since the fucking Nixon administration. The Republicans are terminally infested with fundies, fascists, and white supremacists, and has been since Lee Atwater came up with the Southern Strategy.

Unfortunately, this means voting Democrat or for myself as a write-in (when the only candidate for a given office is a Republican). Why do I call this unfortunate? The Democrats are a neoliberal party. They might allow progressives to run in primaries, but its corporate-friendly neoliberals who make it to the general election. That means having to vote for capital-friendly stooges like Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. Unfortunately, voting third-party or not voting at all helps Republicans more than it harms Democrats, so I’ve got to hold my nose and vote for neoliberals to keep neo-Nazis from winning elections.

However, I’m not holding out much hope for Dems in 2024. All Biden had going for him in 2020 was that he isn’t Trump. That’s not going to cut it in 2024. Not after four years of everything going up but our wages.

Frankly, I’d rather just kill 'em all and let the carrion-eaters sort 'em out. Fuck democracy; we barely even have a republic. What we have is an empire governed by an oligarchy that has generally managed to swap out figurehead emperors every 4-8 years without a lot of bloodshed.

I have a Kobo, and it’s fucking sweet. You don’t even need EPUB format; Kobos read plain fucking text.

People should leave Twitter, Facebook, etc. because they are Nazi bars. If you hang out at a Nazi bar, you’re a Nazi. Case closed.

However, not migrating to any platform is a valid option. You don’t have to do the Fediverse. You don’t have to do Nostr. You don’t have to do forums. You can just make a website for yourself with a blog, and communicating with others by email, XMPP instant messaging, or IRC.

Mostly multi-factor authentication for my day job, because I work for a bunch of cunts who won’t spring for a company phone for company apps. The only reason I even have an iPhone is that my mobile provider was giving 'em away for free while forcing people to upgrade to 5G devices.

And if I ever get to retire, first thing I’m doing is getting rid of my phone and home internet connection. If I need internet I’ll use a VPN over free wifi at the public library.

Pay off my debts, get a divorce, park my half in index funds, quit my day job, and live off the interest.

Didn’t you read the article?

I read the article. It was the sort content-free, self-pitying whinging I expect from Jake Seliger.

Side note I want to hear you butcher Yngwie Malmsteen solos on a violin. Post a link.

No. I offer enough of myself on my website. Some things I will keep for myself.
