I was homeless in Phoenix in 2008 and it was beyond brutal. The heat was so intense that the soles of my shoes partially melted one day. I used to break into apartment complex pools just to cool down. And then monsoon season is a whole other beast.
I can only speculate, but maybe because TikTok and other social media algorithms were one of the main ways that the election was influenced by bad actors.
I’m quite sure they were referring to the many people who sat out the election due to concerns over genocide, which - fun fact - we’re getting anyway, but now with bonus fascism.
Right on! I’ve had a similar gaming experience, except with VR. Can’t seem to get my headset working with Bazzite. I’ve heard that there’s some workarounds but I need to sit down and poke at it.
I hadn’t seen a single ad until a few months ago. I had snagged a copy of Windows 10 Pro (and Windows 7 Pro before that) from my workplace so I imagine it was debloated to an extent.
I’m doing my part! Switched to Linux earlier this year because Microsoft started showing ads in the start menu. I tried Nobara but ran into some glitches that I didn’t want to troubleshoot so I switched to Bazzite. So far so good.
As a masochist, I still regularly check Facebook comments. The vast majority of Republicans are calling this “fake news” and still claim that Trump would NEVER cut their social security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, disability, etc. They’re in for a wild ride. And I say that with an incredibly heavy heart, knowing how many people this will hurt.
The shooter was trans. Heads up to the trans homies to be cautious and vigilant in the coming days, as right-wing media will almost certainly lean into to this and it could cause backlash against the trans community.
