Last Notes npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden Is the irritating recovery mode thing fixed? Even though I have autosave turned if something happens to my computer, I have to click like six things to reopen LibreOffice and the document that was open. npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden You have to love how white assholes like Trump hate places they have never been to and feel the need to "fix" them. npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden Notice the bait and switch. None of this has anything to do with "the border." It is about invading Blue cities and states. At this point they don't care about the border -- in fact it is better if the border is porous so that ICE has an excuse to continue to invade cities that the GOP doesn't like. npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden Two more of those and the recession is on. npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden Which is coming soon to a neighborhood near you. npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden When is Trump going to make them pay it back to the US? npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden Technically both. npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden Nice job Keith. Now do Israel in Gaza. npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden Agreed. In 2 weeks, I am reaching the "universal" part of the US healthcare system, Medicare. npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden Do this again as a percentage. npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden I do have a question...It looks like images no longer have the clickable tags attached to them. Is that true, or did I just happen to find some images that have no tags? npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden This was YOU??!!?? npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden It will be really interesting if the Canadian government gets the idea to join the EU. Other than actually being on the continent, they certainly meet all the other criteria. The same could probably said for Mexico. npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden AND as reported (I believe by you, but it needs to be emphasized) USAID and an IG were investigating Musk & Co, I assume for bribing countries to use StarLink. npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden Or he is so ignorant and out of touch that he actually thinks the things he says are true. npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden The word is "lied," NPR. npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden What we have resisted we have become. npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden Funny how it is "capitalism is great" when the profits are going up, but when market conditions change, it is "please protect us from capitalism!" npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden **Those** Bians npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden On Bandcamp as well: https://thereverendhortonheat.bandcamp.com/album/we-three-kings npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden And Netflix, Spotify and YT Premium. npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden Anything from Vat19 npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKMNPQ35OUc npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden That is what a lot of people say, but what they really mean is that, "TFG will break not things, but the people I don't like. Whoever those people are: Blacks, immigrants, LGBTQ+, uppity women, etc., etc. Might be just one group, it might be many, but whoever I hate, he hates them too. He (and his rich white posse) gives me permission to not give a flying f**k about those people and wear my bigotry on my sleeve. I have no illusions that the economy will change, the price of eggs will go down or any of that. But I will at least FEEL better when the people I hate get punched in the face." npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden St. Douthe Laundri Day npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden Funny how the motto of the TechBros is "Move fast and break things," and then people are all confused as to how we are surrounded by broken things so quickly. npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden Apparently those minds have been poisoned for a long time. The GOP candidates for president since 2004 (GW Bush) have gotten the following popular vote totals (in millions): 62, 60, 61, 64, 63, 74 (Trump vs Biden, huge turnout year) and 72. npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden I just have one thing to say, then I am out. npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden "Monty Python Painstakingly Excavates a Site that Might or Might not Have Some Evidence of the Holy Grail" npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden And not a single Congress member from either party will say, "How can we possibly afford this, with our debt situation?" npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden NYT and WaPo: npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden Dances With Windows npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden Fifty Gigs of Grey npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden DeBug's Life npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden The LAN Time Forgot npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden I seem to remember saying the same thing in the 90s, but with 50s/60s. npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden Baltimore Oreos npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden Wait...Can you be physically insane? npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden You have to love both the church and corporate media. The first paragraphs of the story relate the "shock" that this priest was assaulting women. npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden Also caught a few moments of the #PBS coverage of #DNC2024 . They were going on and on about how difficult it was going to be for Harris to differentiate her policies from that of Biden. npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden I am in the US and can't say this is standard policy, but locally we have a no alcohol sales in a grocery store before and after certain hours, in my town it is like 8 am to 9 pm. Why you can't buy booze in a grocery store when the bars are still open, I will never know. Anyway... npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden Wait...there's no javelin catch? npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden I had the hots for her so bad back in the day. 😉 npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden Unrestrained growth is cancer. npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden I have never seen that, but then again, I am not looking for it either. npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden Actually, I was going to suggest social.vivaldi.net 😃 npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden Can't forget Arlo, of course, about whom Rolling Stone said, has "acquitted himself pretty well for being the son of a living legend." npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden When I first saw this headline, I thought it must have been backwards. I was sure it was supposed to read, "Musk Demands $52B to Leave Tesla." npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden I absolutely get that in the short run. But getting a bazillion impressions from people saying, "Shit, more click bait" and closing the page, in the long run is certainly a loser. npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden The larger question from this, as well as the link farms at the bottom of most blog posts now is: "To what end." npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden Is is just me...or just in the Midwest (US)...or what? npub1mexufg5wjl3kujw5vafqccj5gsz25tnay6g8d3q7ekpw8ruwak6sse09f4 MylesRyden 100% this.
