    Done. Now what? Vote for the “grab 'em by the pussy” guy? This is the not a hypothetical. What the fuck can I really do to effect change? Because it is needed.

    e: Full disclosure, I voted for Biden because he was better than the alternative (bad vs worse). Now, he is directly supporting genocide and I’m faced with worse vs worse and will not vote for him again. It’s easy to snark and meme behind a keyboard, but what can a regular person in this country do?








  • Oh man, everything. I’m fairly old, but there’s always more to learn.

    The first thing that comes to mind is how someone can be against Palestinians being oppressed and displaced. Then, when they push back get hit with a disproportionate respone. However, when it comes to Russians attacking Ukrainians on their own soil, it’s ok. Maybe I’m missing some history here, but I seem to be in the minority that is pro-Palestine and pro-Ukraine. People should be able to forge their own destinies.

    Something else: I’ve seen first hand the downside of late-stage capitalism, but any time I dig into some alternatives I start to have trouble seeing some issues such as how those ideas can scale. Then I hit the “death to America” wall.

    Honestly, a lot of this is new to me since joining Lemmy, so I’m still figuring things out.












  • I wouldn’t consider myself an audiophile but the Grado 60x were probably the best sub-$100 headphones I’ve ever owned. I like how open headphones sound and used them at work because I didn’t want to miss it if someone was talking to me. I worked in a fairly quiet office, though so if you are in a high ambient noise area it might not be your best bet. I’m currently using the Sennheiser Game One (Game Zero is the closed version), because it has a mic. I got tired of having to take off my headphones and switch to my phone headset twenty time a day.
