Artist, musical performer, and former derby skater from the Midwest.
I’m single, childless, and married to freedom and adventure.
ACAB, Anti-War, and I hate Democrats, Republicans, and billionaires. (Yes, even your favorite billionaire: the pop star, the philanthropost, the legendary athlete, or the soft-spoken investment guru who cosplays as middle class.) With each passing day I get a little closer to hating everyone.
Also, I refuse to use Donald’s last name out of hatred for the man and his brand, FYI.

EU’s tech regulation is so much better than in other regions of the world. I’m currently working on changing my consumption over to European tech and software products where I can.
Yeah, I’ve got Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on my sale list to watch out for due to price too. I love that so many franchises are making video games that are just playable movies, but the cost is a tad insane. In time it’ll hit my price point, and until then, I’ve got plenty to play.
I’m with you. I save copies of all my music files externally.
For those who still want to stream though, use Metrolist. Works exactly the same as Spotify and is a FOSS/No Ads product. I made a YT video about it recently.
His ban on “assault” weapons was useless since they all come from out of state anyway
I agree with much of what you post here, but not this.
Even if he’s accomplishing making it inconvenient for criminals, gun nuts, and wannabe mass shooters, that’s a good thing. Legislation on guns in this country is never going to be perfectly effective because of the Federal Government, but making things harder on the local level is 100% a good thing.
Not sure who the bags of douche downvoting this are, but good on you for asking questions and learning new things. Glad to see people in the thread are engaging with you positively in response.
I went 30% into international funds after the first recovery from Donald’s tariffs in spring 2025, when it became abundantly clear that our former trading partners were all hammering out new trade agreements. (Which take 1.5 - 2 years to take effect, but eventually they will and it’ll affect the US adversely.)
Been meaning to rebalance into money markets and bonds with how crazy this year’s been. This just makes me want to do that faster.
America is being hollowed out with no plans to address its effects on the poor and working class, apart from cutting the social safety net. This is happening in a time when it’s been criminalized to be homeless in the US and, if you’re scooped up, you can be forced legally to perform prison labor.
I don’t understand anyone who is actively patriotic in this country.
It’s a nice thought, but the people in charge have too much of their personal fortunes wrapped up in AI to offer us any real agency in whether or not we use it.
However, depending on the product, you can actively choose to use it less. I made a video on my YT channel a few months ago about steps you can take in order to (over time) train the YouTube algorithm to offer you less AI slop, but yeah, there’s no magic bullet unless you actively seek out and use FOSS applications.
That is a little lame.
