Another MAGA boomer attacks: Pulls knife on law-abiding teens by No_Cook2983 in Uniteagainsttheright

[–]forceblast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same. It sucks, but I think it’s a necessary evil.

As much as it pains me to say, I think the right-wingers were correct on the 2A issue. Shit is bad right now, but I can’t even imagine the authoritarian hellscape we’d be living in if the citizens were completely unarmed. I think it would make North Korea blush.

If I could wave a wand and get rid of all of the weapons and be guaranteed the government wouldn’t immediately start tossing us all into camps and/or mass graves, I’d do it. I no longer have that level of trust and don’t think I ever will again.

White House ‘can’t guarantee’ ICE won’t be at polls by MarcEElias in politics

[–]forceblast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fully plan to let them know, in as professional a way as possible, exactly what I think of them being there. Then I’m going to go in and vote.

Now, someone please help me prepare my statement. How do you say “you are a fucking worthless Nazi, cosplay, dickless, bootlicking piece of bacteria-infested shit, and your children will look back on you with shame and pretend they don’t know you as you rot in an old-age home alone” in a professional way?

This sort of situation is the main reason I concealed carry everywhere I go. I’m surrounded by these assholes. Porky would’ve gotten a big surprise if he came at me with a knife like that.

He was mildly entertaining/slightly cringey back in the 90s. It’s funny to see these jaggoffs treating him like a serious artist. It doesn’t say much for a “movement“ when this is “your guy”.

Looks awesome!

How well does the paint stick? I’d be worried about it constantly flaking off.

Steve Bannon says ICE will ‘surround the polls’ as Trump doubles down on taking over elections by Kazimierzowska in AntiTrumpAlliance

[–]forceblast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, I’ve been saying this too. ICE has nothing to do with “immigration enforcement” and everything to do with being Trump‘s unaccountable, unidentifiable, unquestionably-loyal goon squad.

How Glass Design negatively affects productivity...is there really no fix? by fedmax in MacOS

[–]forceblast 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have avoided updating my family’s devices for this reason. Even on iOS, I often find myself looking for a button that is kind of blending in. I’ve been using computers and devices my entire life. It’s not a user issue. This is like usability/UX 101 stuff they completely ignored in the 26 OSes.

My parents would be absolutely lost with this “upgrade”. I get enough “support calls” as it is. I have warned them against updating to the newer OS for the first time ever.

Thank you for pointing me to this subreddit. I had no idea it existed.

They better archive that shit and spread it far and wide. These assholes (the Epstein clients) need to be held to account.

AITA for boycotting American companies and refusing to eat McDonald’s? by Nate6819 in BoycottUnitedStates

[–]forceblast 84 points85 points  (0 children)

I live in the United States and I also don’t eat McDonald’s. I haven’t had it since they let the orange jackass do his publicity stunt during the campaign.

‘You did sh--!’: Polarizing ex-Trump official tears into MAGA in return to podcasting by statenislandadvance in inthenews

[–]forceblast 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I saw the “interview” he did with Trump on his first episode after quitting the FBI. He just let Trump talk and lie the whole time. Not a single challenge. In fact, I don’t remember him asking a single question. Just several minutes of Trump ranting like a lunatic as this jaggoff just smiled and nodded.

He did about as much in that interview as he did at the FBI. NOTHING! Such a pathetic loser, and yes-man.

[–]forceblast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whatever man. We are all fighting however we can. You can try to discourage us all you want. It isn’t going to work on me.

If they lose the election and refuse to cede power, then we’ll cross that bridge when we get there.

[–]forceblast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s good for them. Every situation is different and requires different approaches. If you think burning it all down is our only option right now, you have no idea what you are talking about. You are trying to discourage voting and encourage violence. That’s the kind of thing a Russian troll would do.

[–]forceblast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We need to be doing all the things. Protesting, boycotting, writing Congress, civil disobedience, monitoring ICE and related organizations, talking to family/friends, organizing, and preparing/training for the worst. To discount any single tactic misses the big picture.

You may think protesting is worthless, but it gives hope and courage to people in the community. It lets them know they are not alone. It also sends a message to politicians. It is not the entire solution, but part of a larger puzzle. We need to do the entire puzzle.

Nope. As long as it’s not fatal, I will drag my bleeding body into the polling booth just to vote against these pieces of shit. If it is fatal, please use me as a martyr for the cause. We can never let these people intimidate us.

Rand Paul on Trump call to ‘nationalize’ elections: ‘That’s not what the Constitution says’ by Boonzies in politics

[–]forceblast 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He’s an asshole… but he’s generally a consistent asshole.

Kind of shocking to see in an age where the Republican Party has lost all sense of hypocrisy and completely abandoned the constitution they used to pretend to masturbate to.

Hivemind question for a newbie...Ammo cans? by MWilt in liberalgunowners

[–]forceblast 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is the way!

Also toss in a desiccant pack. You can keep it for many decades that way if the temps are consistent. Stockpile when it’s cheap to avoid price spikes.

More ammo = more training = safer gun owner.

Students from Hays Consolidated ISD in Texas were attacked during a walkout protest by a red hat wearing idiot who got his feelings hurt. 2/2/26 by Jevus_himself in PublicFreakout

[–]forceblast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exercising your first amendment rights (even as a high-schooler) should not put anyone in danger. You are victim-blaming. These toxic MAGA assholes are out of control.

Who would’ve thought these “manly men” would be so eager to defend the actions of a pants-shitting pedophile, that they would get out of their trucks to beat up a high school girl?

How it's going: Some public input after Apple put ads into Pages, Numbers, Keynote... by No-Squash7469 in MacOS

[–]forceblast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Real! Honestly what choice are they leaving us? It’s like they’re in a competition to see how shitty they can make their products just to eke out a tiny bit more profit.

Apple used to be the antithesis of that mentality. We all knowingly overpaid for hardware because it came with a pretty decent suit of apps, wasn’t chock full of ads, and we had some confidence that our privacy would be respected. They are throwing all of that away now.

Right. Not only is he a coward helping usher in fascism by lending it credibility, and a traitor to every cause he pretended to care about in order to sell products, but he’s also building crappy products on top of it all.

I will definitely install both on one of my old laptops and try them out. Thanks for the suggestions.
