Everything he does makes a lot more sense when you consider that he’s an enemy of the US actively trying to do as much damage to our country as possible. Attacking Iran is no exception - the following retaliation and economic shitstorm are the point.

next time

Here’s hoping there will even be a next time.

The lack of experience is worthy of criticism; but the “Ex-Gardener and Grocery Store Assistant” is presented as not worthy of respect. Which is bullshit.

It has the same air as some trumpanzee dipshit trying to insult AOC by calling her a ‘bartender’, as though having been a bartender makes her unqualified for her current position, which is similarly bullshit.

Gardeners, store assistants, and bartenders all contribute to our society and shouldn’t be looked down on for their role; nor should that role be held against them when they decide to move on to something else.

…I guess my point is that gardening and entry-level-grocery are completely fine and expected experience for a 22 year old; but that no 22 year old could have the experience to do well as a leader in terror prevention. So, there’s a distinction between criticizing the absence of experience (justified), vs criticizing someone for having actual experience in an unrelated field (bullshit).

22-Year-Old

Obvious lack of experience and not qualified for the position.

Ex-Gardener and Grocery Store Assistant

Completely irrelevant, and not something to criticize. God forbid people get a shit starter job when they’re joining the work force.

I mean, in practice, I guess yeah. On paper, it’s initiated by a political process, but ultimately it’s a criminal investigation. The acquittal was due to the process being wrongfully politicized. In a system that actually followed its own rules, he’d have been indicted and imprisoned for the crimes he’s committed against the US.

The system we have will, at best, put on a dog-and-pony show, call it “impeachment”, and try to pass that off as actual justice like it did last time.

clearly grounds for impeachment

…add it to the pile, I guess.

But considering that impeachment is a legal process and that the current administration has zero respect for or inclination to follow the law, it’s not like it’ll accomplish shit. Dude needs to be deposed by those who have sworn to defend the constitution from domestic threats (the military) not run through some formal process.

Reddit backstabbing the 3rd party app developers was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me. Found my way here during that shitstorm. Full deletion of my Reddit accound, haven’t looked back. The quality of Lemmy has left me no desire to relapse.

fuck up worse than Bush Jr

Trump is an enemy to the US. He isn’t fucking up, we’re letting him succeed.

Post the 10 commandments in Arabic, with alternating colors in each letter that correspond with the Pride flag. Just to be petty.

Enderal.

I’ll edit this later when I can post from my comp (mobile now) with the full pitch as promised:

Enderal

Basically an indie dev crew broke skyrim down to its most basic assets, then rebuilt a completely new game using them. AND IT’S SO FUCKING GOOD. Completely new lore / game universe (has nothing at all to do with elder scrolls, tamriel, etc), new voice acting, terrain, music, you name it.

Steers away from common story tropes to the point that there isn’t really an antagonist in the traditional sense - but it uses concepts, emotions, philosophies, etc as the driving force for the main story line and some of the larger quest chains.

This game is an absolute passion project by the devs, which is something we don’t see often now-a-days.

Note: link above is to the version that uses Skyrim SE’s assets (the 2016 re-release). If you have the original version of skyrim, use this link instead. If you own a different version of Skyrim, there might be a compatible version of Enderal here: https://sureai.net/games/enderal/

Fair warning: the children NPC voice acting is even worse than the kids in Skyrim. The TAI (toggle AI) command can shut them up without breaking them.

Fair warning 2: they redid combat. The OP shit in Skyrim, like the sneaky archer build, will get your ass beat to a pulp in Enderal. Make a save when you get to the point where you can spend some talent points, experiment with a few styles, and go from there.

Fair warning 3: It’s built on Skyrim’s assets, which means it has all of Skyrim’s problems. Step on a basket full of cabbage just right; get launched into low orbit. Quest items clipping through the floor. Bounty that refuses to go away. Shit like that. Save frequently, and don’t be afraid to use the command console to do things like magic in a lost item or force a broken quest to progress to the next stage.

That’s clearly a small segment of a Sith lightsaber blade.

Molten ice.

Now if only the military would turn on him in accordance with their oath to defend the constitution from domestic threats…

Hold up, orangutans are chill as fuck, don’t do them dirty like that.

‘lol-butt-plug’ aside, bass is as much about how it feels as how it sounds. I wonder if bass generation from a rectally inserted speaker would cause that booming/fluttering feeling you get in your chest at a concert.

I mean… It’s a testable hypothesis at least. For science!

IBM SK-8845 Ultranav USB keyboard

IT’S GOT THE RUBBER MOUSE NIPPLE AND EVERYTHING! Fucking lol, that’s amazing. I’m tempted to go that route just for pure nostalgia sake… I should probably avoid anything that’s long-discontinued though, as I probably wouldn’t be able to repair it if it stopped working, and then I’d be back at square one.

Cherry MX Brown switches

The actual post in the center of those is brown, right? I popped a key off, and the ones in mine are kind of a yellow-orange color like the Helios v2 ones you posted, but with a black housing. The noise they produce is pretty much entirely from the bottom of the keycap hitting plastic when it bottoms out (which is significantly dampened by rubber o-rings I added to it) and then another plastic-on-plastic sound on release… which maybe that is the components of the switch hitting itself? Most of the noise is from release. Slowly depressing a key until it bottoms out, then slowly releasing it so that all of the plastic-on-plastic collisions are super gentile, a keystroke makes virtually no noise.

Kind of intrigued by this option as well. My knee-jerk is that this is 100% outside of my skill level: I’ve never done any kind of real circuitry type stuff. Is there a for-dummies guide you’re aware of that treats the reader like an absolute dumbass who needs adult supervision through the entire project? …cuz that’s what I’d probably need to not fuck this up. At the same time, I do kinda love the idea of making my own unique board!

I would bet dollars to donuts you would love something along these lines if you swapped out the standard keycaps with low profile ones.

I’ve never even heard of magnetic switches. I’m intrigued! Trying to imagine the feel of spring pushing against a magnet, I think I you’re right: that sounds like it would feel great! I’m going to hit a few local electronics stores to see if I can find one to try out - seems like an endcap-display kind of thing.

Skimming that second link you posted, I see a few options on the keycaps, but none that say low profile. Would that be a 3rd party purchase thing, or am I overlooking something from Keychron?

The magnetic switches themselves don’t actually click, right? I pulled up some reviews and it still sounds clicky, but I’m guessing that’s the plastic-on-plastic sound of the keycap hitting the post… so, does the rubber o-ring trick work with these to make it fairly silent?

The Ornata also looks like a solid choice per my wishlist. I haven’t had great luck with Razer - tbh, part of me’s been looking forward to the Blackwidow finally breaking so I’d have an excuse to be done with them. But… a match is a match!

Thanks for the feedback!
