Me: Hello niece, what career will you embark on once college is over?

Niece: Marketing.

Me: [audibly] Ah, I see. [inaudibly] Where did our family go wrong???

MAGA are inconvenienced millionaires grifters.

They’re the same picture!

I am usually up on news and I had a political conversation with someone who isn’t. The person I was speaking with said talking to me was depressing.

Well, the subject matter, politics, is currently quite depressing.

…and it doesn’t look like he’ll take any of your guff either!

That’s not dead . . . which can eternal lie, and with strange eons even death may die!

R’amen!

I see that you too ascribe to the Magic Eightball life philosophy.

IODD makes some. I had the older HDD version that stopped working after it got dropped, so now I use this one:

Agree! I do merch and patreon for the channels I frequent.

I run UBO, SponsorBlock on FF. I have many t-shirts and hats from youtoobers. Someone was asking about my hat, I said it’s a youtube channel, then they asked about my shirt and I said it’s another youtube channel. I then thought of all the t-shirts I have in my drawer at home. I’d say well over half of them are youtube channel shirts. Made me think I am too deep down the youtube hole, but there is a ton of good content and I like supporting the ones I watch and enjoy. So merch is how I do it so I can be their advertisement. I may not even wear it much, but I’ll buy to support them and to tell others about their channel.

The olde ones are nice. Not sure about the newer ones. I have two T420s and one T430. The 420 was the last of the chicklet keys I think. Can swap CPU/RAM as well. The 430 has the CPU soldered in like most major brand laptops do meow.
