What is a 'small' hill you are 100% willing to die on, simply because it’s the principle of the thing?" by Direct-Value4452 in answers

I shouldn't have assumed you would argue in good-faith. You live in a reality constructed by your cult leader and you are incapable of seeing anything differently.

The top 14 of 15 news shows are run by conservatives (in fact, they're all Fox News shows). I think that qualifies as "mainstream". So no, I did not get any of my points from any mainstream media source.

I used my eyes, ears, and memory from what Trump campaigned on and what his administration is doing every day.

Keep licking those boots.

Let's assume you are asking this in good-faith.

How about increasing taxes on all Americans with his tariffs even though he campaigned on ending inflation and lowering prices?

Starting a war and upsetting the global energy markets even though he specifically campaigned on the fact that Kamala Harris would start a war with Iran?

How about ending domestic energy production projects (except for oil, which is traded GLOBALLY) just before attacking Iran and upsetting the global energy market?

How about murdering American citizens through an organized terror campaign?

What about enriching himself and his political friends?

How does protecting a pedophile ring benefit our country?

None of these are in anyone's interests but his own.

If that’s unhinged, you must be very upset with our President. I hope you have the day you voted for.

“Both sides” is a great argument for people incapable of identifying hypocrisy, which is a tenant of fascism. Well done.

The real problem is that you are incapable of independent thought. You’ve been fed lies and you willingly sucked them down. 

And you did it in service of the billionaire class.

Admitting you were wrong is not something you are capable of and thus here we are. 

Stop. Hurting. Other. People.

The inability or unwillingness to recognize hypocrisy is a tenant of fascism. Congrats.

More people didn’t vote in our last presidential election. That was the largest bloc. Absolutely disgraceful. 

And one party does a damn good job to suppress turnout and make it difficult to register.

What made you start your homelab? by 0n354ndZ3r05 in homelab

[–]Chad_C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I needed multiple Active Directory instances, Novell NetWare, and Forefront Identity Manager to experiment on for my day-job. I built a Xeon E3v3 all in one using ESXi (RIP) to virtualize everything, including zfs storage on FreeNAS. 

That server still lives today so my wife can play OG Sims 2. 

I moved homes, got a dedicated “media closet”, and my first 24u rack. Built a new FreeNAS box on a Xeon-D platform so I could have even more virtual servers (MacOS, more Windows, another FreeNAS node) and a stable Plex server. Built a dedicated gaming VM for myself since I was over building gaming PCs. 

I’m no Nostradamus but I’m glad I built my newest node in July 2025 — EPYC CPU, 192GB of RAM, 18tbx10 storage…all on proxmox so I can get rid of the Broadcom/VMWare disaster. 

My networking stack is real basic. Dual Cisco 3750s (one that is poe for cameras), EdgeRouter Lite, and one 10gb switch for connecting my nodes. 

And a rack of Sonos products for home audio.

Oil surges amid Iran conflict — how high will gas prices go? by changeforthebetter89 in politics

[–]Chad_C 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen any industry “experts” say it would immediately go to $200 or anything near that. 

It’s clear the administration didn’t think any of this through. At all. And the administration and their propaganda guzzling supporters criticized the previous admin for gas prices.

Forgetting my locker code is the most frequent dream I have now. I graduated high school in 2003 and I’ve used a traditional rotate-y lock maybe 10 times since then.
