A game programmer for 20+ years, but my day job is fiber network design. Feel free to talk to me about anything. I am into game development, music, reading and politics. My current games are Factorio (Pyanodon's mod), Far Cry 4 & GemCraft Frostborn Wrath

I don't have any professional connections in the programming world. I tried to use LinkedIn to do that - but noooo, you have to be a premium member to actually contact anyone!
I'm done with them, I'm not looking back.

I was playing FF3 (or was it 4? I don't know. Chaotic times for FF then), and it just didn't have the same feel as FF1.
I'm not even sure what game was after that one...

Wait... attack drones from which country?
If it's Ukraine (and proceeds go to help Ukraine), it might be worthwhile. If it's from some place else (like maybe Russia)... no thanks, man

And you know what? If Trump has his way, none of us will see a penny of the money from that oil.
Trump will funnel all those profits directly to him, and nobody else. He'll drag our country into a war for his own gain.

Ya know? You're right.
People want to argue for the 2nd amendment over the right to defend yourself. But you don't need a gun to do that. There are plenty of other things to use for defense.

Me, I think a lot of people were already left. But Trump has brought us out of the woodwork. People are getting involved in politics now, and protests too.
That's a good thing, and it's having positive effects. We can win this, if we keep working on it.

Stores are only motivated by money.
If they have guns, they'll sell them to the highest bidder. Who that is or what they do with it isn't their concern (so long as they aren't harmed).
If you want companies to care, they'll have to be regulated to care, and then face consequences for ignoring them

What about the shooters who have no criminal record? How is 'get those people off the streets' supposed to fix that?
Crimes come down to a means, motive & opportunity. All they're missing is the motive.
But if you take the guns, they lose the means.

There are many Dems who are also paid by the NRA, and will vote in the NRA's best interests. Don't count them as our allies.
These & corporate Dems (who only support corporations & get rich doing so) need to all be voted out of office, with the GOP.
We need people to represent us, NOT them.

I'm fine with it; you've probably been here.
What I get annoyed with is people saying "there's 340 million of you. Why don't you just surround the capital?" They don't realize the US spans an entire continent (it's a 39 hour drive from LA to DC, for example). We can't just all show up there

So that's a third of the population, now looking at unemployment.
People are going to be begging for a job. Then companies can pay pennies for backbreaking work.
The rich love a recession

I'm not convinced that Trump won legitimately.
How does he win all 7 battleground states - by just enough of a margin to prevent recounts? Harris was filling stadiums, and he had to pay people to be at his rallies.
Trump made Musk the head of DOGE for winning the election for him.

Yeah... but that's the thing about all billionaires.
All us poor people are spending all the money we earn. Billionaires? Money flows to them, and it... stops. They don't spend it, and it accumulates. It does nothing in their hands.
They literally pull energy away from the economy.

If they want all that, they shouldn't be in politics.
But ur probably not talking about those people.
I cant speak for others, but I want them to stop hating on everyone that's not exactly like them. Leave them alone.
And do some research on who they're voting for. The GOP only vote to help the rich

Because they're rich, and got rich easily (they were born rich). They think being poor is a moral failing on our part. They think we're beneath them.
So we're cattle to them, and their job is to maximize our productivity, while ensuring we remain figuratively caged.

All I want for Christmas is Trump out of office.
I really don't care what happens to him after that, so long as he stays out of politics. Go live in a mansion for the rest of his life, fine by me

So basically, Trump is interfering with the oil market now. The ship was either buying oil from Venezuela, or selling oil to them. Trump is preventing that... and bragging about it.
Are oil companies going to sit by and just watch? Because it's not going to get better on its own.
