verdantbanana, to asklemmy in Americans, what are your plans if Trump wins in 2024?

some of us are not allowed to vote so doing the same thing as the last election

hope people one day quit voting for one of the demopublicans and choose some third party

as an american dissident unable to vote it feels like trapped in a country that does not want us deciding things or having a voice of any kind just here to be a disposable warm body

yes it is like that rick and morty episode with the body theme park you know things are dying and rotting and falling apart around you but that is the extent of your powers unless someone on the outside intervenes

verdantbanana, to news in Ohio voters enshrine abortion access in constitution in latest statewide win for reproductive rights

too bad this does no one good anywhere else

some people are stuck in the states they are in and some are even unable to vote or to move or both or whatever

now reproductive health and cannabis laws look the same hope you win the state birth lottery and be born in a great state

and just like voting blame who lives in the said state for how much of a crapshoot it is not the ones in charge of the politicians

Catholic Biden has definitely been a champion for abortion rights sure he will ride this wave to attempt a 2024 win

verdantbanana, to news in 'Amtrak Joe' Biden is off to Delaware to give out $16 billion for passenger rail projects

en.wikipedia.org/…/2022_United_States_railroad_la…

“Of the railways involved in the dispute, six bargained together, forming the National Carriers Conference Committee. These six were Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern, CSX, BNSF, Kansas City Southern, and Canadian National. Amtrak and Canadian Pacific bargained separately.”

whitehouse.gov/…/statement-from-president-joe-bid…

“But at this critical moment for our economy, in the holiday season, we cannot let our strongly held conviction for better outcomes for workers deny workers the benefits of the bargain they reached, and hurl this nation into a devastating rail freight shutdown.”

sounds like someone is protecting their railroad bribes

verdantbanana, to news in Ohio purged 26,000 voters days before abortion referendum deadline

smells like Murica

this has been a problem and not just because of Republicans and not just isolated to Ohio It is a nationwide both controlling parties’ problem I myself have been made ineligible to vote due to laws made by our Demopublican politicians

how else would they control the narrative?

verdantbanana, to news in Black Mississippi Woman Discovers the Police Who Were Asked to Help Find Her Son, Were Also Responsible for His Death

same as everywhere else on the planet

warm bodies are needed to keep things moving such as factories, food production, you name it

militarized police force helps keep the lower dregs corralled and helps keep the capitalists’ property safe by enforcing rules set down by the capitalists elite and wrote into law by politicians

if this was upset by climate change laws being put in place, police swapped for peace officers, wages were fair, good healthcare, worker’s rights, etcetera this system would break and capitalists’ would stop writing checks to the politicians writing the laws and keeping the status quo the militarized police force uses and more resources would get distributed across the board and the warm bodies would not be putting in so much effort and existence to a toxic, circular system

example in literature en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wandering_Earthtor.com/…/book-reviews-cixin-liu-the-wandering-ea…"The character of the Last Capitalist, an obvious stand-in for real billionaires in the age of Amazon, adds bleak humor to a very real speculative nightmare where the aforementioned capitalist owns the entire planet and leaves the rest of us to rot in tiny pods. “We had to swallow pill-sized air meters before we went out, which measured exactly how much air we breathed,” a visiting alien tells the protagonist, Smoothbore. “Every time we inhaled, a fee was deducted from our bank account. This was a luxury for most of the poor…we never dared to exert ourselves while outdoors. We mostly just sat and controlled our breathing. Before we returned home, we had to carefully scrape the soles of our shoes, because the soil outside was not ours to keep.”

example in film en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RoboCopSince its release, RoboCop has been critically reevaluated and it has been hailed as one of the best films of the 1980s, and one of the greatest science fiction and action films ever made. The film has been lauded for its depiction of a robot affected by the loss of humanity, in contrast to the stoic and emotionless robotic characters of that era. RoboCop has continued to be analyzed for themes such as the nature of humanity, personal identity, corporate greed and corruption, and is seen as a rebuke of the Reaganomics policies of its era.

example in recent history en.wikipedia.org/…/2022_United_States_railroad_la…Writing for Jacobin, Barry Eidlin, associate professor of sociology at McGill University, said the message sent to the rail workers by the president and Congress was “shut up and get back to work.” this was a very tame example in our personal opinion

simple.wikipedia.org/…/Constitutional_republic

politifact.com/…/expand-justice-department-power-…

“Expand and use the power of the U.S. Justice Department to address systemic misconduct in police departments and prosecutors’ offices. … Under the Biden Administration, the Justice Department will again use its authority to root out unconstitutional or unlawful policing.”

Promise Kept

verdantbanana, to bewowed in Ever heard of Argentavis Magnificens?
verdantbanana, (edited ) to technology in More Than 80 Percent Of Americans Can’t Afford New Cars

about $800 last year for auto insurance

this year the number is about $1400

same vehicle same city

income stayed the same if not lower due to less work

new vehicles are more than likely unaffordable seeing how expensive a ten year old vehicle is

how the f#%k are we not in the streets

verdantbanana, (edited ) to programmer_humor in Microsoft Edge could use a win

edge uses half or less of the system resources versus firefox with twice as many tabs open even on linux

plus edge allows microsoft office to run on linux without workarounds

verdantbanana, to news in Biden worries ‘extreme’ supreme court can’t be relied on to uphold rule of law
verdantbanana, to piracy in Why are my MKV videos from Pahe now flagged in Windows Defender (Win 10) with a 'Security Warning'?

we are already here

pirated hogwarts legacy will have the main exe automatically deleted by defender upon execution

verdantbanana, to linux_gaming in Cyberpunk runs 30% faster on linux than on windows 11

definitely believable

16gb ddr3 ram

ten year old i5

rx580 8gb

arch linux gnome desktop

standard prebuilt dell pc

have two of these machines built and operating in the house both are able to play modern games including Hogwarts Legacy low settings at 60fps no ray tracing

some games run fine with medium or high

some games such as Hogwarts Legacy and Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered require a per game specialized wine wrapper script that is usually already made by an awesome entity unless you go through the steam launcher and then it just plays like a steam deck

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_Deck

“Steam Deck runs SteamOS version 3, based on the Arch Linux operating system. While SteamOS had been previously developed for Steam Machines using Debian Linux, Valve stated that they wanted to use a rolling upgrade approach for the Deck’s system software, a function Debian was not designed for but was a feature of Arch Linux. An application programming interface (API) specific for the Steam Deck is available to game developers, allowing a game to specify certain settings if it is being run on a Steam Deck compared to a normal computer. Within the Steam storefront, developers can populate a special file depot for their game with lower-resolution textures and other reduced elements to allow their game to perform better on the Steam Deck; Steam automatically detects and downloads the appropriate files for the system (whether on a computer or Steam Deck) when the user installs the game”

The American people deserve better than another demopublican. There are other colors and letters besides blue and red and d and r.

verdantbanana, to news in Nancy Pelosi: Democrat and ex-Speaker, 83, to seek re-election

another canidate question what has your past politics done for me locally? even nationally? if the answer is unsure or maybe some tv propaganda answer that was fed to you then why do they deserve votes

verdantbanana, to news in Nancy Pelosi: Democrat and ex-Speaker, 83, to seek re-election

maybe US voters who should take more than colors and letters into consideration such as job resume over the years, what are they financially invested in, past examples of experience, et cetera
