i’ve tried every way i can think of to make it so my gaming PC’s mouse won’t wake it from sleep since it seems like even a gust of wind will move it. nothing seems to work. Windows device/power management is the fucking worst

Principles have a price. Anyone can stand up for their values when it’s popular and easy, but principles are tested when standing up has a cost.

i truly don’t understand why Portland needed to go from “Burger Week” and to “every week is a different food week” but i guess it’s “Wiener Week” and i do love a good chili dog (RIP Sonic)

when i saw this post quoted earlier, i assumed someone else had written it. when i saw that Manton had written it himself, in the third person, i was flabbergasted. but that didn’t last long, because it’s just par for the course. he’ll keep making it all about himself.

I hope one day, if I get through this with my sanity and health, we look back and find it odd that in the first week of Trump’s 2nd term, looking for someone to blame, all eyes turned to… Manton.

“MEGA” —DHH

Trump is back at the helm of the United States, and the majority of Americans are optimistic about the prospect. Especially the young. In a poll by CBS News, it's the 18-29 demographic that's most excited, with a whopping two-thirds answering in the affirmative to being optimistic about the next four years under Trump. And I'm right th...
