The good news is, if a Civil War does break out, this side is definitely going to lose.

Going on and publicly stating and advocating killing someone ... as far as I am aware... can lead you directly to jail.  Then you go after a goverment official ... that is a whole different level of trouble.

It is entirely possible that there are FBI files opened on each and everyone of those individuals.

She has a simple solution to her problem. Move back to the country that flies that flag. The way to shut these people up is to publicly point out their hypocrisy.

Don't tell her. just send her. She committed a crime. Toss her out. (unless she is a citizen if so throw the book at her. )

I had a similar encounter. I was either a vampire or warewolf. I can't remember. I never had that encounter otherwise. I believe I was above whatever level was needed to be able to  start the vampire/warewolf campain.

Couldn't help but laugh at his cat interrupting him. lol

Reminds me of my long gone black cat, Miles. RIP Miles.

I had a relative that had a black cat it was HUGE. The dam thing slept on its back and snored. Was terrified of rodents and if you dropped him or he fell he fell on his back or whatever. No landing on his feet this guy. (HUGE not fat. )

Minature realisim of scale painter.

Steam OS update

This is bullshit. Pure bullshit.

I've seen some serious cringworthy post on Linked in. Post that even college career advisors would say is stupid being posted.

This USAID meltdown thing is out of control.  Never in all my years have I seen Democrats loose their shit like this.  I think the DC ecosystem is realizing that everything they've been doing since Carter is getting ready to come crashing down around their ears.  I'd be shitting myself too if I finger-fucked the books for almost half a century,

I'm beginning to think the 2020 election chicanery, COVID, Trump persecutions, Biden's disastrous term and every woke overreach was all for the best.  It was a reality check for normal human beings and the pushback against it all is what the country needed to survive.  Democrats not only lost the election, they lost the culture war and their voter base as well.

Was he serious about the Oscar Nomination? Seriously?

Saw that earlier; not surprised but I didn't put USAID/Politico and Gamergate together until I watched it.

In other gaming fuckery; Wizards of the Coast removes orcs from D&D to 'fight racism' since these Leftist pea-brains somehow conflate an inherently evil fantasy race with real life black people.  Just a casual observation here; if you see an image of an orc and the first thing that pops into your mind is 'they're black' then YOU are the racist.

I actually love Orcs in D&D, Skyrim and such. They are the original bad asses.  I played an Orc in a D&D game and everybody loved him. I played them several play throughs in Skyrim. They are AWESOME.

I also love how they "Wizards of the Cost" believe that they can "remove" a staple of the game and think that players won't use it. That onlly effects the official league play, not actual players. In fact, it is even more likely that Orcs will be used even more.

The next time I get a chance to play an Orc in an D&D game I will most fucking surely play an ORC. I will make him the biggests baddest motherfucker that I can. If I ever play as a DM, the only rule would be every player would have to be a fucking ORC. They can be whatever class they want but they have to be an Orc. Not a half Orc a full blooded f***king ORC.

Shitty politics move. You can't get offended for a race or ethnicity more than they are. I haven't heard anyone complain about Orcs being black. Likely because they would be laughed out of the game/thread etc.

I reimaged my gaming rig. I need it to do my gaming for I don't know how to do and correct it and get some of my games running in Linnux and 2 some of the games particuarly mods aren't reliable in Linux ... yet at least. On line games with their protecitons are also an issue. DRM as well. (for those games I have that have it. )

I sent it up the "microsoft way" and fought every fucking highacking option it tried to give me. However, unless I am mistaken, it forces you to use One Drive to back up at least the minimum of your Documents folder, PHotos and I believe Video folders that come with your account. When setting it up it didn't let me turn those off. Once it gave me a warrning that I was running out of space. I was like WTF I have a terribyte drive. I know I am not out of space. When checking..  the free 5 gigs they give you was almost used. Yep. NOt only do you have to use their one drive and can't get out of it, the default folders that they give you. The same default folders that are used by almost every fucking microsoft program ... the very same folders are locked to the one drive which if you want to put more data on your documets ... you HAVE to purchase Microsuck 365 or their One Drive service which gives you a Terribyte.

Eventually support for programs will stop. Browsers in particular will stop.

However, you could just install a VM in your Windows 10 and install a simple linux or even use the free windows image to get to the web. Then all you would need to worry about would be your other software if it works for you going forward or if you NEED an update to do your work. (if you use windoze for work)

I have been moving ever more and more into Linux getting better and better at using it and learning more and more about the programs and how they can be used for microsoft / Windoze alternatives. I will be honest, many don't have the polish that Windowze programs do but they are free and usually without spy ware or other such bullshit that you get with Windoze.

Prediction: New games published by Microsoft will have a Windows 11 hard requirement.  Want to play TES6 on Windows 10 or Linux? Tough shit.

If they keep up with the DEI, pronouns and other bullshit .... they can keep the game.  I won't care.

@ritualclarity Do you use bottles? I've got some really old Windows games on discs that I want to play again, and I'm curious if I can use this.

Run Windows in a Bottle

No, I don't. I also never heard of this. 

You know that virutalization is built into Linux? Qemu. The rest is tools.

I don't have my machines combined ... yet.  I prefer to keep a dedicated windows machine for my gaming as I don't really need to use anything windows when I am on my Linux machine.

Thank god I don't watch all that bullshit spouted by such youtubers. I am usually caught off guard when something blows up and people start talking about it. I have to go and search the web to find their little turds to know what the fuck everybody is bitching about. Yep... haven't learned to just fucking ignore those little turds and their shit they spout. But come on, sometimes the shere stupidity of what they are doing is just so dumbfounding and at the same time entertaining. It is difficult to avoid.

Stupid to think that someone actually chased someone with a rifle in their hands trying to do bodily harm to them with a skateboard. He should be lucky he can still ride his skateboard. Though, falling off of it may not be as pleasant I presume.

He saw a kid. Thought is shit was big enough to put that kid in his place regardless of a gun. Found that shit out fast.

Then after trying to do serious bodily harm, chase the kid, and got shot for his shit. Thought he would put him in jail. Punish him for shooting the gun to defend himself. Lost that shit as well. Bet he feels really good now. Who is he going to blame now? You know he can't take responsiblity for his part in the actions.

If it helps I haven't had any issues. Firefox or Chrome.

I just hope to god this is just parody or view seeking and they aren't real.  I hope so as if they are, we have a worse epidemic of mental illness in society than I ever thought possible.

On a side note. That person that stated we need to "strap up". Seriously? Who do you think would win that situation? Those on this video melting down and loosing their f***ing minds or the republican gun loving citizens. Who do you think would win?

This shit is proof that we need gun carry rights. People are just fucking crazy.

Google is facing a class-action lawsuit for stealing user data when Chrome is in incognito mode. No doubt Microsoft will face a similar lawsuit if they're caught doing this. They really have some numbskulls working there if they think they can get away with this.

Yes, I am aware of Google's theft of the information when using Incognito mode. I didn't post it here as I didn't want to break the rules!   LOL.

I am sure there are other sources of infomration from Google, Microsoft and even Apple where they steal information without properly informing the customers. Why can't they just tell us? Maybe becuase it is super shady Low, and a shitty move.   Something if people truely knew would loose their shit.

Windows stealing your browser information (Edge?) Even if disabled.

Now forcing updates to the newest verson ...WARNING.

With all these bad actions and problems.... now is the time to raise the cost for Office 365!

So because he meets with the incoming president the Democrats are but hurt?  Are they thinking that the USA will be wisked away to the land of OZ?  Do they think that if they put their fingers in their ears and keep on repeating Nananananananananan it will go away? WTF. Seriously?  Trump is President. Not only is he president but he was recognized by both Biden and Kackles as such. NOT talking with the incoming president to discuss things of importance for his state is just plain stupid. Doesn't mean he has been brain washed or something. So far his actions are in good faith and show consideration of potential policies as they will be played out in a Republican majority held house and Senate.

Putting up a wall and going nanananananan with your fingers in your ears will net a complete domination of the country. Not even be willing to meet and discuss polices with the opposite side is retarded. Just plain stupid. You need to work with them. YOu will need to compromize with them and yes, you might not get everything you want but that doesnt' mean go off and cry out your eyes and point and hurl names at everybody that doens't want to do what you want to do. Republicans were elected ... with a majority ... record voting for a reason. If Democrats don't want to meet with the Republicans then they need to seriously meet with each other and have a "come to jesus" moment and ask themselves what the fuck just happened followed up with what the fuck do we need to do so we don't get so badly beaten and humilated again. There are plenty of sources on Youtube and right side individuals that can give some hints if they honestly want to improve themselves. They lost because thsoe that would normally vote Democratic ran for the Republicans .. they need to let that sink in. Every demographic, black men, hispanic men, young men, and many different groups of women as well (even with the HORROR of repealing Roe vs Wade and all the complete lies of what Trump was doing etc.)  That should really tell you, Democrats are really fucked up.

@Vancleef keep in mind the man orc is a different species from the traditional Democrat. As far as I know since the beginning. A self starter and promoter. From my understanding (and the article) he pretty much made his career on his own. I doubt he drank the cool aid of either side. That is a good thing. It appears that he thinks what is best for his people and works towards that. His meeting with Trum shows at least to me, that he is willing to work on the problem(s) and understands that he will have to accept good ideas even if they .. heaven forbid come from Republicans. Doing so will likely help hiim get the resources and aid he needs for his people and help prevent some bad policies as well.

https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/15/24344209/microsoft-365-office-apps-windows-10-end-of-support

They won't support their office options after Windows 10 end of life. This might sound normal and reasonable however, they charge for support and critical updates after this point.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/faq/extended-security-updates

If they are giving critical udpates and such for those that pay, don't you think that would include Microsoft Office 365 support? Being that buisnesses mosts likely would still use it with their Windows 10 OS.  If this is the case, then Microsoft can support the base OS with these updates to cover their Office suite through this time as well without any extra charge. Which means they are attempting to either force you to update to the newest OS or pay them $$$$ to use the old OS and get any support for it and Office.

The reason people still use the old OS is it came with their computer and they still want to use it as they bought it and not ready to upgrade or for many tech people, they HATE THE BULLSHIT that Microsoft is doing to the newer OS.Currently they have gamers over the barrel if they want reliable supported use of their games they buy. They have content creators often times stuck over the same barrel due to specialized software they need or drivers for devices that are only available for Windows (often getting support for the most current OS ) 

https://www.techradar.com/computing/windows/windows-11-hits-30-adoption-and-its-about-time-so-is-microsofts-ai-gamble-finally-starting-to-pay-off

Even now as Windows 10 is being discontinued shortly Windows 11 has only reached around 30% as of August of last year. I'm sure that much of this is just that old Windows 10 machines died and new computers were bought to replace them. This is really bad in my opinion as this as far as I know, takes into consideration businesses purchases as well.

https://www.makeuseof.com/why-most-users-havent-upgraded-windows-11/

The above are reasons common computer users aren't moving to Windows  11.  For those that are like many here. The hoops and restrictions to local accounts and registeration, gaming performance (mentioned in the article) and other restrictions that weren't present on previous operating systems are our reasons. 

Keep in mind that many were on Windows 7 for many years when Windows 10 rolled out. For many they moved to Windows 10 when possible instead of just jumping to the most current OS like a Mac user or Linux user or even Android (for phone ) users would do. What would make common sence if Microsoft wasn't screwing up. One such occurance is why this thread was started in the first place.
