Technically yes, but it's ancient and almost never used. Someone got me one of those toy NES things that's plugged into it, but I don't use it much
. I need to donate the tv (no one on free cycle offered to take it) or send it to an e-waste place. It's very heavy so it mostly just sits there.
I just saw a play that has a plot point about how someone gets robbed by some racist, well connected shits, and the police won't do anything to help. The closest he gets to justice is vigilantism, where he hunts down and shoots 3 of his assailants dead. Only then does anyone start to listen to him, but when he agrees to talk peacefully they shoot him dead.
I'm not sure "the only way you'll get justice is with your own bloody hands" was the author's intent, but that seems to be the message.

Some people are very fragile and have poor emotional regulation. When they see other people doing good, it makes them feel bad, so they lash out.
Environmentalism, biking, veganism, all commonly evoke this behavior.
The confederates should have lost everything. We probably would have had to occupy the south for decades and have routine public executions of klansmen, and there wasn't an appetite for that for various reasons.
Mistrust and anger with the federal government appears to have contributed to a willingness of some of the jurors to nullify, meaning they refused to side with prosecutors to send a larger message, people familiar with the jury’s deliberations told CNN.
Good. Nullify everything these assholes do.
That would be even more depressing, somehow.
"National health care passes - Cancer, depression, and bankruptcy rates plummet"
Honestly, I'd accept Trump taking all the credit and putting his ugly face on every hospital if it meant good service
Do these stories change minds, or are conservatives such masters of cognitive dissonance that nothing at all will cause them to defect from their in-group?
I keep seeing job posts that have requirements like "must be excited about AI tools". If the shit was good people would be excited on their own.
It's all slop from the worst, soulless, people.
If I'd made 500k for a couple years I'd be happily retired at like 40. Buy a home for less than $1mm, then live off the interest and safe investments
Rich people are bad at money.
Sometimes the manual steps grow like weeds. Where I'm at now, they haven't invested in automation much at all. Now deploys take all day. Making a code change is a sweaty manual regression search process. It's bad.
It's a post-truth world for many people and maybe always has been. Feelings are the only things that matter. The "facts don't care about your feelings" line was, as always, projection.
Well, yes. The only things that change people's minds are peer pressure and horrific trauma. People generally believe what their trusted in-group folks believe. And given how many stories there've been like "my family was abducted by ice and i spent a month in jail, but i'd still support trump" I'm not sure about trauma.
One difference that sets maga types apart is their "in-group" is overflowing with liars, fools, and other scumbags. Healthier people consider better people to be in-group.
