Just cancelled my $1/wk subscription to NYT and straight up filled out all the surveys and feedback bits to say Bret Stephens sucks.

It’s cool, America has RFK Jr. So…

…it’s not cool, actually

Bret Stephens sucks.

Children?

As a heavy Windows user on a 12+ hour/day basis - I 110% agree with you.

I don’t care anymore, let it crumble.

Well crap, I was going to give Costco a Luigi-pass, but I guess they’re back.

And Facebook saw a loss of 5-6 users probably.

Fuck. This. Country.

I’m out. As soon as I am possibly able, I don’t even care if I’m homeless in another country (yeah yeah I realize that isn’t how it would work in terms of immigration), I’m done. Fuck this shit.

Can he pardon Luigi while he’s at it? Seriously, what does he have to lose.

Oh I agree, it’s just that Germany gets me out of the US and overseas easier than anywhere else I’ve looked. So it’d be a stepping stone.

This might not be the perfect analogy but this made me think of people I know who find healthy relationships “boring” and prefer unhealthy relationships with a lot of fighting and drama because it’s more exciting.

But at the end of the day the healthy relationship is healthier, it just “feels” uncomfortable until one can realign to it. As another comment says, you feasibly have more time to do the same tasks and, thus, avoid any stress or anxiety but that is possibly going to feel weird and uncomfortable because of the anxiety you were so used to attaching to it.

Maybe it’ll just take some time?

WHAT IS GOING ON. Ugh.

Damnit Germany was going to be my stepping stone for a number of years when I leave the US, out of the fire into a frying pan maybe…

Oh my god I forgot about hypercard…wowww. Memories.

Grew up on Mac (Chuck Yeager game anyone?).

DOS & Win3.1 later. QBasic for first language. Later VB, ew.

Linux sporadically throughout.

Use Linux largely for side projects but unfortunately all my jobs have me stuck on Windows during the day.

That’s just imminent death on a longer scale.

Satire sites continue to deliver, despite my expectations that it would be so hard in this climate.
