gourdy.bsky.social @gourdy.bsky.social · 03/10/2025They're not only doing it, but they are also blaming the Dem leadership for it. I peruse local right-wing groups, and they seem to have bought it hook, line, and sinker. They just can't stop talking about "trillions for illegals." 010

gourdy.bsky.social @gourdy.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Just checked your vids after a follow. It's all "Bitch bitch bitch bitch." Woke this, woke that. Everything sucks. Everything is terrible. How do you not get tired?! Y'all need a new hobby 000
gourdy.bsky.social @gourdy.bsky.social · 17/12/2024Same for incredibly nice taxi drivers! Some people are a pleasure to chat, and you get an interesting story. 010
gourdy.bsky.social @gourdy.bsky.social · 17/12/2024This whole Ciri conversation shouldn't even be happening. It's so incredibly daft. I would love to chat with one of these fellas in person, because it's almost intriguing to hear what sort of brain deficiency they're working with. 000
gourdy.bsky.social @gourdy.bsky.social · 05/12/2024Senator, I recommend getting your domain registered for your handle, so it's easy to identify you. I imagine your team should be able to figure out how to do that. 000
gourdy.bsky.social @gourdy.bsky.social · 02/12/2024Seriously, every other shitty thing I can think of can be tracked back to Reagan. Technically, to anti-New-Dealers before, as well, but Reagan just stands out as a singular axis of bullshit 040

gourdy.bsky.social @gourdy.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Ads in start menu is next level insanity! Ads in my OS period, are. It takes entirely too much effort to quash all of the intrusive noisy things. You can, there are various debloat options out there, but the stock experience is 1999 malware pop ups levels of noisy. 210
gourdy.bsky.social @gourdy.bsky.social · 01/12/2024I got the AMD one with an 8xxx something, and performance-wise it's been quite decent. Still worse than an M, and more power requirements for equivalent operations, but I have not had the kinds of issues you're describing. For me it's been a lot of build quality (kb, display, etc tc) and annoyances 120
gourdy.bsky.social @gourdy.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Part of it is probably Intel too. From what I've read, the new gen is verrrry toasty. Feels like Intel is undergoing another Pentium D life-cycle wirh ever increasing power and heat envelopes leading to self throttling CPUs. 110
gourdy.bsky.social @gourdy.bsky.social · 30/11/2024The old Intel Macs could be doodoo due to lack of power and heat throttling, but with the M CPUs, that fixed the bigger knock against them. 030
gourdy.bsky.social @gourdy.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Yep! I have an M2 Mac for work, and bought myself a top tier Lenovo P14s. Every single thing is better about the Mac. Trackpad, screen, kb, lack of annoyance from Windows, fingerprint scanner, battery life. It would be a huge downgrade to go to Lenovo from a Mac. 240
gourdy.bsky.social @gourdy.bsky.social · 30/11/2024That's something that comes to mind for me when hearing someone exclaim bs about soc media being a "town square," as if that means anyone can say anything. Real life doesn't work like that, and in a real town square/bar, there'd be quick fist-based moderation. 030
gourdy.bsky.social @gourdy.bsky.social · 30/11/2024What are some good games that are easy enough for a toddler to get into? And what platform? I'm thinking of getting a Switch as Nintendo is typically better about having entertainment for the entire family. Or perhaps I'm jumping the gun and should just wait on the games, screen time n all... 000
gourdy.bsky.social @gourdy.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Even getting stock Win11 from scratch is an absolute nightmare. Pop up, after pop up, after pop up. Hey, want some widgets?! What about OneDrive?!

gourdy.bsky.social @gourdy.bsky.social · 28/11/2024Headline: "Young people don't want to visit MAGA family!" Replace MAGA with any other cult and it will make more sense to you. "Young people don't want to visit their Scientology family" 000

Hoda and co are just chatting the entire time *about* the parade, but the only things shown are the performances and ads. Please, less Hoda and co, more parade! What's the point of tuning in just to stare at them talk?! 000
gourdy.bsky.social @gourdy.bsky.social · 27/11/2024Could be! That was the name of the game in VC world for a while. Not sure how it is now. But, perhaps! 000
gourdy.bsky.social @gourdy.bsky.social · 26/11/2024And yeah, as far as the price of gas goes, I don't see what incentive anyone has to sell gas cheaper. OK, so people buy more of it, but then you are making less money on it - so why bother? You need more storage, more transportation, and more workers, to make all that extra oil. 000
gourdy.bsky.social @gourdy.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Remember when oil dipped below $0 during COVID? That was due to a drop in demand. Suddenly producing a ton more would not be as extreme, of course, but it also would upset the balance of cost: www.eia.gov/todayinenerg...eia.govCrude oil prices briefly traded below $0 in spring 2020 but have since been mostly flat - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) 000
gourdy.bsky.social @gourdy.bsky.social · 26/11/2024You have to store that oil somewhere. Storing it is not free. If they are at equilibrium in terms of moving the product at a price, there's really no reason for them to pump more oil. If they have to store that, it actually costs them more money. And selling more causes oil to go down in price. 000
gourdy.bsky.social @gourdy.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Overproduction leads to lower prices. It's a balance. If they flood the market with too much oil, price goes down. So now you're making more, but can't charge as much. Lower margins for net zero gain. 100
gourdy.bsky.social @gourdy.bsky.social · 26/11/2024He's also opined about COVID being racially targeted to spare Jews and Chinese. He claims to no longer believe it, yada yada. Perhaps he doesn't. His pattern of thoughts however shows that, even assuming he no longer holds this opinion, we can assume that he believes some other crazy now 020

gourdy.bsky.social @gourdy.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Haha, and violent doesn't even begin to cover it! I looked this up. Technically speaking, my Kassandra is responsible for, potentially, up to half of all deaths in the Peloponnesian War (based on Wiki number of "at least 18,070 soldiers" and Kassie's ~10K+ kills). "Are we the bad guys?!" 000
gourdy.bsky.social @gourdy.bsky.social · 26/11/2024The fact that Valve managed to gamify purchasing of games is a brilliant twist of marketing! 020
gourdy.bsky.social @gourdy.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Some of that stuff cracks me up. Like Dragons Effin Cars, or anthromorphized big-booty bees. a) someone thought of it; b) someone drew it; c) there are enough people *into* it for the thing to spread across the Internet! The hilarity is in the absurd! 110
gourdy.bsky.social @gourdy.bsky.social · 26/11/2024If I see them, out-crazy them. There's no way to actually reason about it, I've tried. Eventually, "Uncle Bob" will move goalposts to immigrants, trans kids, vaccines. Doesn't help that the entire side of family is "Uncle Bob," so no one is going to be happy about "Uncle Bob" getting fact-checked. 010
gourdy.bsky.social @gourdy.bsky.social · 26/11/2024It's interesting to read this article from Feb 2, 1933 issue of Der Israelit, talking about how Herr Hitler could now tone down the "demagogic appeals to heat up mass gatherings," since the party gained power, and they would never take away anyone's rights, in part because of checks on their powers.germanhistorydocs.org Jewish Reactions to “The New Situation” (February 2, 1933) | German History in Documents and Images 010
gourdy.bsky.social @gourdy.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Ah, the automated solution's accuracy is lacking? If it's mostly false negatives, it could be used to filter out the most obvious stuff, reducing overall volume on humans. 110
