Now wait a minute, did we all collectively decide to forget the most impeachable offense of any recent presidency? Remember when President Obama wore a tan suit? A TAN SUIT???

    Or even if you take the bribery angle out of it, the less politicians earn, the less it incentivizes working class people from going into government because they need the money. The net result is you end up ruled by the wealthy (including those who will advocate for pay decreases for congresspeople, which just worsens the problem).

    Just finished Last Argument of Kings this morning and I feel so conflicted about it D:

    Still an enrapturing series. I love Abercrombie's writing style and Steven Pacey is the best audiobook narrator I have ever listened to. Give The Devils a go if you haven't read it yet—it's the same gritty fantasy as the First Law but adds some much appreciated humor and levity into the mix!

    Glad this is the case but god DAMN if it isn't sickening and so stupid that people have to crowd fund life saving medical procedures. Completely embarrassing for this country.

    I'd like to propose another immigration reform bill: the CHIP ROY Act. The bill would allow us to deport, denaturalize, and deny US citizenship to Christian Hypocrites, Islamophobes, Pedophiles, and Racist Old Yokels.

    I'm giving "explicit notice" for the entire judicial system to EAT MY ASS. Fucking do something already. This continual warning bullshit has worked wonders so far. FUCK.

    Well technically a power outage broke my system. My machine lost power in the middle of a pacman upgrade which left me able to boot, but with very limited functionality. Thankfully I keep an emergency live USB laying around for just such contingencies and was able to complete timely repairs. For the record, if anyone else runs into this problem the Arch Wiki has instructions on how to proceed.

    I cannot express how much of a relief it is to have a system which is designed in such a way to enable this type of diagnostic and repair capability. It was also a great reminder to revisit my backup and recovery options which will be one of this weekend's projects.

    My wife had a problem with her Windows 11 PC the other day and I literally couldn't even figure out how to begin to diagnose the issue, let alone fix it. I am so thankful for the Arch Wiki and the extensive documentation available to cover these types of situations. I know Arch will forever have the reputation for being a "hard" distribution, but not having to feel helpless when something goes wrong is so nice!
