  • I disagree.

    It’s not easy for them to see why Trump is a POS. They are victims of a 50 year effort by the oligarchs of this Country to destroy the poor and the middle class. They are victims of Foreign Propaganda that has taken root and grown like cancer. They have been gaslit into believing everything wrong with this Country is because of a political party, not the wealthy elite who have them fighting for crumbs.

    The American people and it’s Well have been fed a steady diet of poison and it’s led to an intense polarization, isolationism, and record level of fear.

    It’s impossible to act rationally or reasonably when scared and any one who votes for Trump is mainlining fear, uncertainty and doubt.

    They are trapped in a 1984 Orwellian distopia where their entire reality is controlled and fabricated by a fascist organization. Their level of cognitive dissonance is off the charts.

    You would not be able to convince them that the sky is blue if Trump told them it was green.







  • My 6.5yo is playing it with me and he loves it. We got the DLC edition or whatever and are level 50 about to play the final boss of the main game, haven’t reached the Stronghold yet or any of the DLC.

    There’s a bit of a learning curve, but so far I’ve been able to teach my son that Green(Rare) and Orange (Unique) are better than Common (Grey). For items and gear, higher level items are almost always better, for pools of mobs he’s better off kiting and using ranged attacks.

    He can’t read much yet, so I have to explain what the enchantments are and he’ll upgrade if he likes them.

    I like the game way more than Minecraft Legends.



  • The DoD will soon be requiring itself and Contractors to start following Rev 5 of the NIST SP 800-53 Risk Management Framework. In this revision are more robust controls for Supply-side security, which the DoD has been trying to incorporate for over 10 years.

    Americans should know that the military and DOD and it’s contractors do their best to purchase authentic hardware from reputable vendors, but there are exceptions and alternate procurement allowances if the need is great and the standard more secure lines are unavailable or simply on back order.

    It’s usually then that some of the fake hardware makes it into use


  • Trump is in full control of RNC spending. Money coming in, money going out, it all flows through Trump.

    You can’t be a Republican candidate without professing fealty to him.

    Trump also has an MO which is give me everything, I give you nothing, so it’s suspect that he’ll use all funding for all candidates to line his own pockets which won’t allow any other Republicans to compete in any of their races.

    The danger to Republicans is that after this year if Trump doesn’t secure the Presidential nomination, all funding still goes to Trump, and Republicans are still kissing the ring of a man who holds no power outside of his undying support by 30% of voting Americans and his connection to Putin.

    What this tells me personally is that Republicans are all in on a Trump 2025 presidency, and my beliefs are that the rich and elite are too.

    I’m fairly concerned for the General election and expect a few more Biden attacks, Russian disinformation, and an economic crash all to attempt to sink Biden below Trump







  • I listened to the 50h audio book in preparation for the TV series. I really hope they can do a good job of visualizing the subtlety between character’s actions, thoughts and hidden motives.

    The book was also pretty visceral in a few scenes it depicted (The Cellar, The Portuguese Ship, The Torture), I really hope they don’t shy away from those. The clash between civilization and barbarity is something that you don’t see very often, and my fear is that the show will spin the Feudal era of Japan as some passive golden era, when it really was a powder keg of war, death, and natural disaster.

    That’s karma, eh?
