Feel like I'm in between.

I usually wear simple, single color Tshirts, a light jacket, and one of a small stock of pants.

In a sense I dress just for me - easy and simple means I don't have to spend time choosing, which I do like. A light jacket let's me easily get warmer or cooler without having to completely change.

In another, I dress for others - I don't wear graphic tees very much since high school because I don't want anyone judging me for what I like, or misunderstanding and prejudging me. With plain tees, I just don't have to deal with that particular social anxiety.

A lot of us thought this would happen if Trump won again. I don't think any of us thought it would get this bad this quickly, but definitely within his 2nd term.

Just to be clear, when I say I blame Democrats, I mean I blame the Democratic party, the Democrat leaders (Pelosi, Schumer, etc), and their apparatus. I can see how you thought I was blaming voters, but I assure you that's not what I meant.

And yes, I agree. The GOP are officially fascists by virtually any definition of the term.

I'm not sure the specific blame the above commenter is referring to, but I blame Democrats for two things.

  1. They failed to recognize and truly fix systemic problems because the actual solutions aren't market-oriented.

  2. They dragged their heels on prosecuting Trump when he was out of power long enough for him to escape any liability and ultimately establish... this.

It's just supposed to be headphones, I think.

It looks meh on its own, but it does look better in context with the rest of Muse Group's logos. But I'd start from scratch. I don't think anyone likes the logo.

Flared bases, people!

Not in real life, but there's a children's educational show on PBS called The Kratt Brothers where "creature feature" and "creature power" are relatively common phrases.

I'm unsure. It's been a while since I tried. I'll do some troubleshooting when I get a moment.

I've been running a jellyfin server for a while now but barely use it. For some reason I can't get other devices on my local network to be able to sign into it. One out of ten times it'll work, but the other nine times it just doesn't and says it can't connect. I dunno. Probably a me problem.

I mean go for it I guess.

Nah, it would have to be the Fox News style full court press deception to have the intended effect.

Most people would be convinced something is true if a huge swathe of people they trust say it's true. (Myself included. I just try my best to vet trustworthy sources to begin with.)

Fox News accomplishes this by getting you to distrust all other sources and then serve you a variety of "charismatic personalities" all parroting the same propaganda. This is how they cultivate false consensus.
