actually, a child doesn’t have a legal right to a parent. for example, my birth certificate doesn’t list a father. legally, I never had one. of course, practically speaking, I also didn’t have one.

here’s the neat thing. in the US, rules don’t apply when you’re rich.

lmao yeah ok dude sure

The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

that’s magic nonsense that crime dramas on TV invented. try a reverse image search and look for higher resolution versions of the image you want.

or grit your teeth and use tools that “add detail” by guessing, like AI. but keep in mind that those tools essentially lie by painting in detail that was never there to begin with.

You say that, but I am learning first hand that I have a finite capacity for injustice and misery.

that’s why I said “if you want to”. if your bucket is full, then care about what you can. if you have more room in your bucket, then why not use that room for something else?

I mean, I guess it matters to the person the land belongs to. they said in the article that they left tire marks and the exhaust also damaged the site. so there’s the environmental concern.

but more importantly, just because there are more important things to worry about, doesn’t mean you can’t also worry about this. it’s not a mutually exclusive sort of thing, you can care about more than one problem at a time if you want to.

saving as much as we can

an economic depression is going to make your spending power tank. don’t save all of your money, invest it in things that will allow you to support your well-being when things get hard. I don’t mean in stocks or whatever, I mean in things like a garden to grow as much food as possible. water filtration like a Katadyn hand pump water filter. solar panels large enough to charge your small electronics like a phone at least, and big enough to power things like your lights if you can afford it. hand tools for repairs around the house. a bidet so you don’t ever need toilet paper again. whatever you need to route your rain gutters into tanks to store water for drinking or watering plants.

you know, practical things that will help you. if you do save money, keep it hidden away in a fireproof safe inside your walls. money saved won’t do much if it’s in a bank that might decide not to let you withdraw it during a recession. I’m not saying you should go crazy and become a prepper, but taking a few steps to decrease your reliance on a functioning society will make things easier when times get hard.

it wold be better you go back to being isolated. enjoy what’s left of the world before trump stumbles his dumbass way into a nuclear war.

Yeah, let’s go ask the cavepeople of 30,000 years ago how they handled dangerous industrial jobs in a communist country.

yes. I wish the democrats hated trump as much as MAGA thinks they do.

they’re not even consistently “strictly anti-Trump”

I pay a total of $6/month for an indexer an usenet service, and $8 for a VPN. all other media, including games, I get through that.

the best kind of racist.

Yes, pretty much any Linux distro can be configured to encrypt just the home directory. Whole drive encryption is more common because it’s more secure, obviously.

That would be the easiest solution, since it’s offered during install with many distros.

Encrypt whole hard drive?
Yes.

Log in automatically?
Yes.

That’s going to make running anything on Windows rather uncomfortable.
