Ironically, I swing by old.shittyplace.com to check out /r/conservative and/or /r/askaconservative every so often to see if any of them are starting to figure it out yet (spoiler alert: they aren’t, or they are celebrating it), and they always have a first page thread about how Reddit is just a liberal recruiting mouthpiece these days etc etc.

Today is no exception.

And for a bonus they have a thread about how Ask Reddit is just out of control with bait for conservatives - I took a peek and there are two current threads that have anything at all to do with conservatives.

The conservative persecution complex is strong, never fear.

Remember, conservative voices must be getting silenced because they never shut the fuck up telling us so.

That was well done, article gone now.

I like the idea of AR very much, but for exactly the reasons you stepped around mentioning I’ll wait until I can get my hands on something FLOSS. When I’m buying glasses that are running some KDE AR project licensed under the GPL I’ll feel like it’s trustworthy. :D

We’re under Trump now, they’ll kick him out and he’ll be arrested for sleeping on the streets by tomorrow.

I feel like I’m in those years of You really want a 3d TV, right? Right? 3D is what you’ve been waiting for, right? all over again, but with a different technology.

It will be VR’s turn again next.

I admit I’m really rooting for affordable, real-world, daily-use AR though.

He and his nation are in a tough spot I don’t begrudge him any decision he makes at this point.

It just grinds my gears that if I go searching (which I refuse to do) I know it will take me 5 seconds to find a maga citing this as evidence that Trump’s bullying is clearly effective foreign policy and that Zelensky’s cooperation represents an admission that everything said to him in the oval office was correct and OK.

Daily Reminder:

Yeah that effing sucks. I really didn’t think they’d bend the knee. I can’t blame them, but it still makes me sad.

Don’t forget the 14 words! Someone screenshotted this at just the right time:

I think we can do without this sort of reddit-like passive aggressive backbiting here.

Updated! :)

Thought police here we come…

Thanks, I’ll check it out, though it’s going to take more than motivational books to pull the US out of the current nosedive…

Excellent point!

Does EVERY axis in life have to be fucked up at the same time?

Can we have one thing that is just doing ok?

Government - fucked.

Education - fucked.

Healthcare - fucked.

Environment - fucked.

Housing - fucked.

Societal and Social Cohesion - fucked.

Wealth Inequality - fucked.

Personal Technological Autonomy - fucked, and under continuous attack.

Technological Enshittification - Running like gangbusters. So really - fucked.

Damn, someone give me some kind of ladder to climb out of this pit of despair.
