I loved that show, and this was probably the best bit from it.

Unicron. Not to be confused with Unicorn.

Metroid.

How did I scroll through this list and not see Samus Aran mentioned?

I just rolled back to Win 10 after finally succumbing to the frustration of Win11 running like frozen molasses.

With a side bonus of Linux Mint 21.2 for good measure. Forgot just how much I enjoyed Mint!

The appropriate phrase, by contrast to Trump and his followers, is “nobody worships Biden”. Many of us appreciate what he’s accomplished, and like him as President and as a person, but we don’t have a cult-like attitude of unconditional admiration and worship of the guy like MAGA do with Trump.

You are rapidly becoming one of my favorite users on here. Such a goldmine!

This made my day.

You assume that the majority of them live there by choice, and not because they lack the resources and opportunities to move. It’s kinda hard to pull up roots and move half way across the country when the economic and political realities of where you currently live force you to remain firmly entrenched in poverty with deliberately restricted access to any means to improve that situation.

By your logic, black people must love prison, too, because they represent a disproportionate percentage of the prison population. I’m sure it has nothing at all to do with disproportionate enforcement against them, right?

Yes! Things are looking up!

Depends. I’m dead serious when I ask this, but are you black, Latino, a woman, queer, Jewish or Muslim, trans or non-binary, liberal or any flavor of politics to the left of Right wing authoritarian fascist, or any combination of those groups? If so, then stay the hell out of any state south of Virginia and east of Illinois. They aren’t just bad. They are potentially deadly, increasingly as a matter or literal public policy. If you aren’t one of those groups, than you aren’t in physical existential danger. You’ll just be stuck in a nightmare hellhole of poverty and ignorance. But you’ll be safe. Mostly.

Honestly, I’ve been everywhere in the continental US. Been to every state, seen just about all there is to see driving over the road for fifteen years, and I can tell you that the southeast is damn near a third world country compared to everywhere else. The infrastructure is so bad it reminds me of when I stayed in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1993. And it’s only gotten worse. I have no desire to ever return now that I’m not required to for my job. Florida used to be the one shining exception, except now it’s embracing a return to 1930s Germany. Stay out of Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, and Texas in particular.

Ah, yes, my days as G-Rawn. Our intense lyrics brought glory to many houses!

My expectation of Linux was the sports car, my experience varied wildly from Distro to Distro, and occasionally lived up to the expectation, but usually looked like:

Nazism hasn’t been stamped out. It’s just been given a number of new names to make it more palatable. A sizeable percentage of American “Conservatives”, especially in the MAGA cult, subscribe to an ideology that is every bit as fascist, nationalist, white-supremacist, and Christofascist as the Nazis. The only difference is the nation they represent. We’re currently seeing a meteoric rise in antisemitic rhetoric from those same elements.

Nazism is just a specific brand of fascist nationalism. Make no mistake, there’s every bit of effort to push several nations, and especially America, into a new fourth Reich in everything but name and nation.

Action Masters were hot garbage. Especially since some of them managed to somehow have even less articulation than their original transforming counterpart, which is saying something.

I’m rolling the Indo with my man, Tuvok. Time to get slow.

How do you say “Snoochie boochies” in Klingon?

Decepticons retreat! Cooooooobraaaaaaaaa!

He comes seeking glory!

Indeed.

Yes, please!
