I think it’s also down to windows 11 being increasingly enshitified, and unwanted AI stuff being forced on users. A lot of people are frustrated and are more open to alternatives.

Get drunk?

You can get banned there for such a multitude of things, you’d have thought ‘Being in prison for trafficking children’ was on that list. Apparently that’s fine, though.

The HDMI forum blow goats, every month, by the silvery light of the moon.

I dunno, I bet disease and famine. But yeah, that greed won’t help at all.

I somehow feel things have changed. Maybe it’s the internet, lack of education, consumerism, whatever. I hate to say this, bit I feel like a lot of people, when they get hungry, would steal from their neighbours. Far too many folk don’t understand that the wealthy are the author of their suffering and won’t know where to target their anger. Not to mention that oligarchs are hard to catch, whereas your neighbour with a slightly newer car is right there, and may be of a different race. People don’t understand who they should be angry with.

Yeah he has no shame at all. It’s only a week since he posted the AI thing with him wearing a crown and shitting on the American people.

One of those guys does the blindboy podcast now, it’s well worth a listen.

Yeah I guess I was thinking about pearl harbor as an attack on American assets. But yeah it’s a tricky line to draw.

Yeah, IIRC I wouldn’t say that was a war of defense but it was certainly defense of an ally. Yeah the US got blindsided, then MacArthur got it into his head that he could unite Korea and loads of American and allied soldiers died. From what I’ve read, it was a bad one. I’d highly recommend the coldest winter by David Halberstam for ppl who want to learn about this monumental fuck up.

I didn’t forget about pearl harbor, that’s why I said arguably WWII, I think that’s the last time the US experienced a military attack. I’m not including terrorism here, but you could argue 9/11 was a military strike. I wouldn’t tho.

TBF it does what it says on the tin. American hasn’t fought a defensive war in decades, arguably since WWII.

We only see each other two or three times a year and have mutually agreed not to discuss politics since the unfortunate Christmas dinner of 2016, just after the brexit referendum, when I’d had a few drinks and rose to the bait. And they always liked to bait me, knowing I was involved with direct action and am pretty hard left. They got more blowback than they anticipated. I love them, I can even understand their positions, but they’re not going to change and neither am I, so we just don’t discuss it anymore.

Yeah but they’ll be sold to multinationals.

You don’t pay taxes then?

Britain kinda had to turn insular after the world wars. I don’t know what’s happening with America but it smells like hubris. It’s pretty worrying, too.

“And now the athletes are at the starting line for the hundred meter ketamine stagger. . . They’re waiting for the starters’ gun. . . Some of them have got confused and wandered off. . .”

Shit, I play in easy mode. And I sometimes look up hints online. But yeah, I only play single player stuff so I don’t feel like I’m cheating anyone.

Because he’s a wanker.

I reckon any street artist understands that their work is temporary. It probably got more publicity by being removed. Streisand effect at work again.
