  • Well, you asked me what could be done to help. I never said you have to, I'm just tired of scrolling past article after article talking about protests and attempts to halt this administration, only to see comments that are as dense as the ones made by the people that voted for this asshole. None of this shit is going to get any better with that approach.

  • So you expect countries with smaller militaries (ie. all of them) to openly fund groups opposing a democratically elected leader?

    Why not? How often do people talk about using a time machine to take out Hitler? How is this different?

    We recognize the distinction, but you have to be aware that you are unfortunately a minority in the country. Less than a third of Americans actually voted against this.

    This ignores the destruction of the democratic process through gerrymandering, voter suppression, and voter intimidation, not to mention the very real possibility that voting systems were compromised. Of the people that were of age, were able, and did vote, just over half voted for Trump, assuming voting tallies were accurate.

    I don't expect anyone to be out saviors, in fact I expect things to go much like Nazi Germany, where the infection of fascism spreads across the globe and many of the people around me including myself and my kids will probably die. The collapse of the US will not, and is not happening in a vacuum. And before you suggest that I take on the federal government, look at what happened in Hong Kong. Outside support and intervention in coordination with resistance elements in the US is absolutely critical.

  • Providing support and resources for movements that are opposed to Project 2025 and the rise of fascism would be nice, but at the least how about drawing a distinction between the fascists and anti fascists. I'm tired of my friends, family, and myaelf being lumped in with the fascists. Don't think your own country is immune to fascism either. I see a lot of countries whipping up nationalism in response to what's happening here, and that's troubling.

  • When the Civil War happened there was a somewhat clear division between northern and southern states due to slavery, but now that division is between neighborhoods and houses, amongst families and coworkers. Add that into life in a surveillance state and it's going to be hard for a civil war to gain traction I think. But I'm sure any day now those 2A nuts are going to go up against the tyrannical government they have been prepping for, right?!

  • Meanwhile, those of us that most definitely did NOT vote for this are faced with new horrors every day, right here in our own country. It's just a blast watching our former allies shutting the door and giving the entire population the finger when we are facing a crisis like this. I have to wonder, was this what it was like during the Nazi's rise to power? Did other nations turn a blind eye and say "not my problem"? Now the formerly so called leader of the free world has been taken down by the oligarchs and so many countries and people are saying good luck, get fucked. I guess it's fine to overthrow some back water country in the name of "democracy" but the US can rot right? Not like this will have any impact on global relations or climate change, right?

    To be clear, I'm not attacking you, I'm just frustrated to see this happening around me and seeing so little support for the people here that want absolutely nothing to do with it. There are a lot of people here that don't deserve what's coming, that have voted, campaigned, protested and argued against it, and I really wish people took the time to understand that nuance to not just this situation, but everything.

    To those that lend encouragement and support to anyone standing against this, thank you, whole heartedly, because we absolutely need it.

  • You seemed to imply with your bolded quote that this was inconsequential, so I only mean to point out that according to the title of the article that the attacks on NASA have started in a concrete way, not merely speculative anymore.

    My new addition.

    Up until now, I've never bought a brand new guitar, so I figured I could make up for all those savings and get something nice!

    Issue with WiFi on fresh Bazzite install

    I'm hoping to get some help here. I finally took the plunge and installed Bazzite to a spare drive, and during the initial installation setup I was able to connect to my wifi. After booting up for the first time I noticed it said no connection. I see the wifi device listed, but I don't see anyway to connect. It doesn't find any networks. I've searched around but haven't found any solutions yet, and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

    I greatly appreciate any help here, and I'm happy to provide any further information if necessary.
