Anon checks up on a childhood friend

ngl, this is partially why I enjoyed deleting facebook in 2012. The ability to just impulsively compare myself to others is far too common on sites like that, so the freedom of not even having to worry about mistakenly glancing too long at an old friends profile is never a concern I have.

The white nationalists I recently exposed showed up to try to intimidate me -- in person

Even though you can tell she was shaken by this, it's clear she hasn't lost her sense of purpose.

Expose corrupt minds, if they are so proud of what they do, so strong and fearless, yet they cower when the light shines on them. Cowards parading as warriors.

Definitely piqued my interest, I will follow Rachel Gilmore on her reports. She definitely has a message worth protecting!

Not sure if I'm just old and bitter now or movies have gotten worse

See, I find, that "critically acclaimed" and "popular" usually don't go well together. However, something with just critical acclaim from people I like (and sometimes a Criterion release) tends to be some of the most amazing things I've ever witnessed.

But to the meme's point, Tarkovsky's Solaris was boring, and hard to understand for me, so much so I didn't ever finish it. I'll have to try again maybe from a different perspective.

Not New, Just Fuck Cars

I did used to feel odd back when I would bike to the gym, because I realized I was already a little tired by the time I got to the gym, but just sucked it up and figured it could only make me more healthy. For years I biked everywhere, work, school, hangouts etc . . .And some peers would complain about back pain or odd health problems, and I'm thinking well maybe an active life is worth all the effort.

YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs

I know it's a normal thing, to not instantly look for alternatives to software you might have used for your entire life, and I get it, if it hasn't harmed you or done you wrong, then it's probably fine to stick with what you know.

But as someone who first experienced alternatives to Windows back in 2006, and like others who walked the more beaten path, we've grown tired of this stuff. The slow, decline of Windows, and the promise of something better with every update.

It won't surprise me if one day they decide to full send it and charge a monthly subscription to use the full OS, not one bit. Enshittification, it's bound to happen. I'm teaching my child about linux now, so they'll be aware that software doesn't have to suck.

Try something different, it's a good way to live, to know you don't have to remain where you are if you don't want to. Of course, only if you want to!

WTF Just Happened? | The Corrupt Memory Industry & Micron

capitalism worked pretty well in the 40's and 50's, in the USA, and then the corporate leaders realized that they could be overlords if they just stopped caring about everything but money.

We know kindness and money can coexist, but if little boy jack is taught from day one that if you don't game the system, you will lose, he's going to grow up to be Elon Musk.
