Just when I needed to see the picture of a cup. Perfect timing!

We live in the dumbest of times. Someone just told me they don't understand how a transport could be 40% above quote. They quoted 4 trucks and needed 7. I looked at the quote. Done with AI. Space use on trucks fully maximized. AI played Tetris. Problem is that there's no way to load. We'll done.

Covington? What in the world? How did i not catch this? And how did my autocorrect screw that up? I shall ponder the meaning of this...

The Abiding Dude @theabidingdude.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Well, there's hope. I don't think I'll see it in my lifetime, but you never know.

True, but we need people to want to get rid of parties. This entire country runs on an "us vs them" mindset. Parties are just the political extension of that. We need to change the entire state of mind to get rid of parties. As a people, we're not smart enough.

Got flu and Covington shots last week. Got bandaids with smily faces on them. Of course, didn't take pictures...

Fetterman was fine with the rules until he got elected. I grew up in a country where parties exist, but there were more than 5. No party was strong enough to govern alone. Coalitions had to be built to govern. That meant better government. Not even this can happen here. We are locked in. Sadly.

The Abiding Dude @theabidingdude.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

There aren't parties in the Constitution either. If one runs for a party, they follow party rules for nomination. I'm all for getting rid of parties. Don't think it will happen here, though. For several reasons.

If not primaries, who decides who the nominee is? I vote in primaries. I was not aware that I am in a small number of party loyalists.

They are buttons. As long as they do what i want them to do, I don't care how pretty or not pretty they are.

The Abiding Dude @theabidingdude.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Again, that's why we have primaries.

The Abiding Dude @theabidingdude.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

That's why we have primaries. If he ends up the nominee, he has my vote over any republican.

The Abiding Dude @theabidingdude.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Let's win a general election first, shall we? So far, the wins on the left only happened in reliably blue areas or primaries. Without people on the moderate end of the spectrum, you won't find a governing majority.

The Abiding Dude @theabidingdude.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Oh, I will pay someone. But they can now look at what I have I mind instead of me trying to explain it without being able to convey what I'm thinking in the right terms.

The Abiding Dude @theabidingdude.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I'm not categorically against AI. I am categorically against hyper scaling this shit by building data centers en masse so one of the 5 richest assholes in the race can be first to built the model that eventually kills us all.

The Abiding Dude @theabidingdude.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I got one. I was looking for a logo for a while now. But I'm graphically uncreative. So I had AI create one, tweak it, tweak it again. Now I can take that to a graphics designer to make me a real one based on that. I could not have described what I wanted until I kinda saw it. But that's really it.

Don't worry. In 5 years this will be one of the cooler years of the past.

Yes, the emergency is over and it has shown that the expectation is that employees find ways to work wherever and whenever the corporations demand to keep them making profits. In return, corporations don't give a shit about those employees.

After 75 years, the United States has finally secured the right to continue having rights it already had, but now with branding.

The world has always been very simple for those whose mental capacity does not extend far beyond "eat, sleep, shit", and Trump is a prime example of just that segment of the population.

Let me check my schedule to see if there's an opening for a moment of pity with the guy... No, not looking good this week, next week, next month, next year, next few decades... Yeah, I guess it ain't happening after all.

The Abiding Dude @theabidingdude.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Yep. I was torn between the Fold 8 and the Iphone Duo. Then I watched the Duo announcement and pulled the trigger on the Fold. The Duo is nice, but the Fold is ahead in the areas that matter to me.

I cannot imagine ever being so horny for power that I would cling to it as much as this mummy does.

A group of people like that is called a bunch of assholes. That's well established science.

Makes sense if you're an idiot. Still waiting for my Doge check, and the Tariff one... Fuck those guys. Sideways. With a cactus.

This is why I loved the Surface Duo. Closed meant off screen for real.

The Abiding Dude @theabidingdude.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

I will look at it in 5ish years when my galaxy fold is due for an upgrade. Might not buy it then either, but I'll look.

010

The Abiding Dude @theabidingdude.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

I'll never get over those curved edges. They look OK in tablet mode, but they're super ugly when folded. That design needs work.

001

The Abiding Dude @theabidingdude.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

The Microsoft Surface Duo would like a word...

010

The Abiding Dude @theabidingdude.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Got the Samsung Fold 8 and the new Galaxy watch for less than the starting price of this thing. I kinda like the Duo (oh the Microsoft memories). I keep my phones about 5 to 6 years, so but the time I'm ready to look again, this will probably be interesting.

011

The Abiding Dude @theabidingdude.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

The Duo name will always remind me of Microsoft.

The Abiding Dude @theabidingdude.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Look, I'm not a socialist. Never was and likely never will be. I'm a moderate. I believe in lasting progress through incremental change. However, I understand that you can't incrementally fight fascism. So, I will vote for whoever is the alternative to the right this fall. We all should. Full stop.

The Abiding Dude @theabidingdude.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Beating Trump and the GOP will be a most important first step. However, if we want to move this country back on a path to fulfilling her promise, we must take down the entire oligarch system without exception, billionaires and mega corporations alike.

The Abiding Dude @theabidingdude.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Went for the Galaxy fold 8. Folded, the size is close to a mini and since I can unfold it, I also get a small tablet. Big price tag, but I got a great deal on a phone and watch bundle.

The Abiding Dude @theabidingdude.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Been there, done that. Hated every bit of it, but like being alive for longer more. You got this!

And under Trump, they're going broke. In prison, you at least get 3 meals a day...

Those are pre-correction numbers. By now, you folks should have understood how this works...

Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and wait for the downward correction that will be coming...
