Eh, no. It’s bad, sure, but we’re a long way from the state of the economy right before the Great Depression. Here’s an example:

Unemployment peaked around 25% in 1933. The worst of COVID was 14.8% in April 2020.

Housing. The cost of living. Underemployment. Unemployment. Gig work. It all sucks ass right now, but it sucked MUCH harder 100 years ago.

The answer today is the same as back then. Vote better.

Risky click of the day!

We need the French to show us how to properly riot.

I damn near had an aneurysm trying to make sure Aaron Schwartz wasn’t the name of the AI.

Punctuation is important. It’s the difference between helping your uncle, Jack, off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

An IBM AS/400 has entered the chat.

My asshole puckered every time we had to reboot that sucker.

Me!

Good old mIRC. I remember using those bots too. It was on when I started college and got hold of high speed Internet for the first time.

I was more of a Guybrush Threepwood kind of point and click gamer.

I didn’t know Baraka was a limey.

Curious. Are they as divided as we are in the West on domestic and international issues?

I know of a certain man with a funny mustache from Deutschland who would get a hearty chuckle out of this genocidal business, given who is committing it.

I’ll never understand Spotify. If it’s such a pain in the ass why do people use it? Napster was big when I was in high school so if I find a song I like, I go download it. Sometimes it’s piracy. Sometimes it’s a legitimate purchase. Whichever is easiest.

Done. The end. It’s mine forever.

As far as discoverability goes it helps that there have been no new music releases in the past couple of decades that I care about.

Fuck Israel and fuck their government. Their citizens deserve better.

I smell a lucrative black market brewing…

Aaaw look! The little Texas pedo protector suddenly wants to do the right thing.

Yeah it’s a typo. I posted this late.

I stuck a 2TB SanDisk Extreme microSD card in my 512GB launch day Deck and haven’t noticed much in the way of performance, but I’m not playing Crimson Desert on the thing.

Anything remotely modern lives on the SSD. The rest, along with roughly 4000 ROMS, is sitting comfortably on the microSD card. Works for me!

I just got one of the 8BitDo 40th Anniversary NES controllers so I’m good for a while.

I don’t use the touchpads on my Steam Deck in games so there’s not much for me here.

Yep. And the filter is as clean as the day it was installed.

Who wants food chunks flying around the dishwasher?
