The stupidity and complete incuriosity of most conservatives turns me off, but the sanctimony and the “I’m the most specialest boy/girl” nature of liberals repels me just as much.
My tribe is the tribe of talking to earthworms and little birds, I guess.
The ’90s weren’t that great – by Cartoons Hate Her.
Wow, this is powerful stupid. Just fucking idiotic.
She completely and totally misunderstands and barely acknowledges what people miss about the 90s and why it was not exactly a completely better time, but a very different time with an extremely dissimilar feel as compared to now.
This article is ragingly fucking full of shit, I’ll state again for the record. Just clownish in all the worst ways by someone who was just a bit too young to get the full 90s experience. This profoundly clueless article could’ve actually been good but she was simply not smart enough nor perceptive enough to write it.
When someone pens something like this that misses the entire point of the discussion, it causes one to wonder why did they bother? Why produce obviously shoddy pap? Is fighting against straw men really that much fun?
Anyway, the reason people miss the 1990s is that it was an incredibly optimistic time. They miss that feeling. The Berlin Wall had fallen; Communism had been defeated and the pall of nuclear war no longer hung over all of us. We thought we could fix the world and that we all were on the verge of a better future, unburdened by history and all its hatreds.
This feeling, this spirit, was everywhere then. Yes, even among adults (it’s not just childhood nostalgia). Everyone, nearly, believed it, felt it, wanted it to be true and wanted to make it come true.
That’s why people look back so fondly on the 90s and miss that time so much. They miss it as much as that article misses the point.
Poland and Sweden seem to be the only countries in that region that realize there is likely to be war in the rest of Europe soon.
Bold move, attempting an in-place upgrade on a domain controller that was also serving DHCP. Crazy.
YOLO, I guess.
Time to seize roles on another DC and call it a day on this one. Either recreate DHCP or attempt to grab the DHCP database offline and copy it over somewhere functional. I’ve had to do this before in cleaning up someone else’s screw-up.
This is the kinda crap I used to have to deal with routinely.

The tech bros have front-row seats at Trump’s inauguration, but what they want goes way beyond that.

My Windows Computer Just Doesn’t Feel Like Mine Anymore.
Windows is now a user-hostile ad-optimized data-thievin’ despicable disaster. The first time I saw an ad for fucking Candy Crush in Windows I vowed to never use it for my main OS again.
Watching Microsoft shills (some of whom are not even being paid — now that’s sad!) try to sell us on this like a two-bit carnival barker has been quite the amusing experience. But if you tell people some harmful change is made for “security,” they’ll believe just about any outlandish thing.
It’s sad to see a lot of the left embracing Rednote as China cleverly cozens them. China is not gonna save you from Trump and the idea is fucking clownish. But people in general believe what makes them feel good, no matter how doofy.
Meanwhile, in reality, China is most likely to turn their bodies to ash in 2027 or 2032. Russia is not far behind, there.
The return of Trump was also made nearly-inevitable with fourth wave pseudo-feminism declaring all men inherently evil “Schrödinger’s rapists” while claiming all women are angelic by nature because they are naught but tiny little blameless children, even up to their 40s.
That just ain’t how people are, and men are tired of hearing about it. Even I am extremely over it, and I didn’t vote for Trump.
The world became a lot more dangerous when chipmunks started becoming vampires and some garbage bins switched to a carnivorous diet.
Be careful out there.
Insane, hilarious situation going on at Walgreens right now:
– Walgreens replaces 10,000 fridge doors with giant computers
– Signed 10yr contract w/ vendor
– Screens suck. Glitch, catch fire
– Walgreens tries to end contract
– Vendor bricks computer doors pic.twitter.com/iG5i21i3sI— BuccoCapital Bloke (@buccocapital) January 17, 2025
Another example of play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
The book Gödel, Escher, Bach filled so many people’s heads with so many stupid, bad and wrong ideas. Just a terrible turd unleashed into the world by a daft naïf.

More winning! Total Victory!
Yesterday, the Ukrainian military reported a yet unusual incident, when a unit of wounded Russian soldiers on crutches was sent to take up positions on the front line. Today, a video of this 'assault' appeared.
Over the past few months, complaints and whining from wounded… https://t.co/lxiRVAeD4T pic.twitter.com/BY07ad4nYJ

Ian Welsh: This is what winning looks like! Total victory for my most-adored Putin!
Everyone else: What the actual goddamn fuck?
(Warning: people definitely do die in the above video. Which somehow fucktard Welsh will also see as a victory.)
Pseudo-feminists hating “passport bros” so much is another example of the, “I don’t want him, but I want him to want me. If he doesn’t lust after me pointlessly to feed my ego, then he’s evil and bad” mentality.
It’s toxic.
