this isn’t why America is divided what lol. It’s divided because of misinformation and an education system that is totally failed so critical thinking is fucked.

It’s divided because people believe every whacked out conspiracy theory and even policy makers make policy on said conspiracies.

It’s divided because the super wealthy want to remain in power and it’s easy for them since money is allowed in politics.

Biden joining Truth Social is just plain comedy.

So they just become ocean trash instead? Seems like we should put a stop to that as well.

Grifting out in the open.

haha thank you!!!

it’s also really stupid considering the liberal cites are literally what MAKES Texas. There’s mass amounts of population in rural areas that just flat don’t vote. If everyone voted in TX it’s be blue as fuck.

Either way when the cities themselves lose all the workers that high paying jobs need the cities start to fall and the revenue for the state will follow.

Literal idiots that just think the oilfield will go on forever and nothing else will matter

Perl is still the best. 😁 😁

yeah I told my doc that I had really dropped my overall beer drinking down to about 8 beers a week like I was super proud of myself and saying “I don’t drink all that much anymore” and he looked at me and just said “well that’s still debateable”

I’m like BRUH… Down from like 20 beers a week I felt accomplished but he didn’t think it was an accomplishment.

down votes take you down the chain in reddit so you can basically be downvoted to where no one would see what you wrote. If they had a brigade they could take you out of a conversation

I’ve legit never understood it’s appeal. Like what even is the purpose of it?

truly sad state of things. It’s disinformation like none other. These people are completely oblivious to the facts of his criminal activities because the media they consume is only focused on cultural issues. It’s literally all they see. They have no ability to look things up or fact check or think beyond whatever their pod casts are telling them.

It’s such a bigger issue about this country as a whole. Education has failed so many. Those same people will vote for people that want to further erode education. They also have lots of kids and groom them to believe nonsense and deny education’s importance. They attack teachers and doctors as being “woke” etc…

I hope we can come back from this, but the reality is it gets much worse from here.

ubuntu is the most widely used distro and very simple to setup and gaming out of the box with steam is very simple. Distro end of the day doesn’t matter all that much because you can change them to your hearts content, but for a beginner, you’d probably have the easiest time with an ubuntu distro.

Doesn’t hurt to have virtual box windows on your linux box just so you can easily do some of that other stuff. While I have done fine with libre office for a long time there are definitely problems with formatting so having a windows VM would just solve that issue. Plus teams and w/e.

Epic games will take some serious tweaking, but not impossible.

google is also spyware… so is facebook while we’re at it and literally ANY OTHER APP YOU PUT ON YOUR PHONE. Ever notice how every single thing has an app? It’s not to make it easy for you to buy stuff from them, it’s so they can utilize your data to make them more money.

lol straight up troll bait. Also funny cause it’s probably people who “believe in freedom and the constitution” who voted in that dumb poll. Somehow we need a nanny state to take over control of the internet… FREEDOOOOMMMM

troll shit… Probably half the voters were trolls too

yeah and all the “problems” with America are soooo fucking external to them… Like they are never confronted with drag shows or LGBTQ stuff in general. They’ll say things like “you see what’s going on in San Fransico” and I’m like… NO… I don’t live there lol…

Like they consume ONLY this nonese…

You see it on reddits /r/conservative and other the_donald wannabe subs. They just non stop talking about gay and trans stuff and I’m in a very liberal city and literally never see any of this supposed “wokeness” or w/e they are so scared of.

It’s like they are living in an alternative reality it’s very strange.

no drilling is the issue lol. Shale wells deplete crazy fast. The decline rate is 70% in the first 3 years. We are reaching peak production. If you reduce the number of operators through buyouts it’s only going to make it impossible to crank out new production quickly.

this is exactly what is happening. Even in the US. The big ones are buying up all the little ones and stopping their drilling programs entirely. They want to slow the output, reduce competition to kill the service industry… Then years from now when our production begins to plummet and prices skyrocket politicians will act real surprised.

Can’t wait for this to come about actually.

if you are found not guilty you can’t be tried for that crime again.

That is kind of the funny thing about autos. Like most manufacturers are terrible in many ways. Environment, political, the way they treat people or how shitty their quality control is. Planned obsolescence. There is still a fake “supply demand” issue that they have literally concocted to jack prices through the roof. Literally price gouging asking 15k over MRSP because they pretend they have a supply issue lol.

All the US majors are in on this scam and it’s sad we don’t have a government worth a fuck to fight it…

Elon is just mouthy about it lol. I couldn’t even tell you who the CEO of GMC is. They are awful as well tho.

They’ll figure out how to get it appealed up to the bought and paid for supreme court and that’ll save him.

Yah the people I know haven’t even read a single thing about the “don’t say gay” bill nor have they even read 1 thing about the Trump documents. They call it a political hit job and I ask them about the specifics of the documents that were IN HIS BATHROOM and they legit hadn’t heard any of it lol. It’s because the media they consume actively avoid its.

I’d argue that MOST of these whackos are so disconnected from reality because all they listen to is pod casts and watch fox news. They don’t read articles written by actual journalists with sources.
