It’s not as though that power structure behind the economic system is leveraged to dismantle and destroy competing economic systems or labor rights or anything. Yeah, totally and completely separate and never the twain shall meet. The CIA definitely didn’t use economic terrorism to force countries to submit to US cartels business demands.

Nothing has ever happened, like say, the US corporations using their wealth to dominate the court systems and laws of other counties to do something like put media “pirates” calling themselves “The Pirate Bay” in prison for things that were legal in their own country to enforce the US’s own draconian capitalistic IP laws.

What an absolute crock of shit dude get a grip. Capitalism is oligarchy by any other name.

G.L.O.S.S. comes to mind. Too short lived.

A show I forgot from my prior post because it’s so new is Joe Cappa’s Haha You Clowns on Adult Swim. It’s very loosely modeled after the classic sitcom My Three Sons and follows the loving and earnest adventures of 3 beefy Chad teens and their love for their equally beefcake father who recently became a Widower as they lovingly try to fill his broken heart with love. The sincerity rounds the bend to being absurd and funny, but the relationships on display are all loving and healthy.

Joe Pera Talks With You

Joe’s love for his grandmother will make you cry. Then his best friend Gene’s sweet relationship with his sons will make you cry again.

The Midnight Gospel

It’s only really in the final episode of the series, but Duncan Trussell’s relationship with his mother was beautiful and sweet, as evidenced in the finale of this short series.

Nathan For You

While Nathan For You really isn’t about Nathan Fielder’s relationship with his parents and they are only minor characters in the series, in their few appearances, you can tell how much love and respect he has for them. His father loved Taiga soft shell jackets, and as a Jewish family, his father was devastated when Taiga paid tribute to Holocaust denier Doug Collins in one of their winter catalogues. Nathan would go on to create an entire company dedicated to making soft shell jackets in the style his father liked called Summit Ice Apparel so his father could feel comfortable wearing clothing from a reputable company that didn’t promote Holocaust deniers. 100% of the profits of Summit Ice go to the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist

As noted in a comment reply about Bob’s Burgers, largely made by the same group of people behind Bob’s Burgers, but back in the 90’s. A sweet relationship between a single father and his aimless but golden hearted adult son.

Before Bob’s Burgers there was Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist, which is where H. Jon Benjamin (voice of Bob) really got on the map in the 90’s. He was so young back then, he played the son.

But I always thought it was a very sweet relationship between a single father who was very understanding and patient with his twenty-something year old son who was perpetually without a job and very immature. So patient, so kind, so loving, no intent ever to kick him out and make him “grow up.”

In fact, Dr. Katz, Home Movies, and Bob’s Burgers are all Loren Bouchard projects. He was a writer/producer/editor on Dr. Katz but he was a creator on Home Movies and Bob’s Burgers.

Fun fact about Dr. Katz. Jon Benjamin’s character, Ben, was infatuated with his fathers secretary, Laura, who was played by Laura Silverman. Even though in the show her character couldn’t stand Ben, in real life Jon Benjamin and Laura Silverman were dating at the time.

I wouldn’t delete stuff from the laptop manufacturer right away, but the AdwCleaner is an AdWare cleanup app from Malwarbytes and can be safely removed as it had nothing to do with Windows Defender.

Even if you were running a VM, bare minimum suggested space for Windows without many apps installed is anywhere from 60GB-80GB. 100GB is really about as low as you really want to go in terms of partition size. If you wanted a performant Virtual Machine, with ability to install other applications, you would want to give it that much space, which means it would still be taking up that much space on your drive. Depending on how much RAM you have and your page file settings, a significant portion of that space you’re looking at could just be a page file for swapping data in and out of RAM.

Have a good none, Bob

It’s not like the economy isn’t purposefully being wrecked by the current government administration or that they’re not trying to purge as many workers as possible to pump up unemployment and reduce the number of people who can patronize a small business and it’s not as if the government isn’t picking winners and losers and it’s not as if the tariffs don’t impact small business more than big business and so on and so forth.

But sure, believing stupid shit like you can fight and survive in a rigged economy where competitors a hundred times your size want to crush you economically and legally totally makes sense and isn’t moronic at all. /s

This post references this is [USA] in the title and even when it comes to Wall Street the entire economy is hinging on a small number of massive businesses with absurd valuations at the moment.

She says that if I can’t even have the courage to “go outside often and be a ‘normal’ human being”, I wouldn’t be able to handle/manage the assets/investments they have. (Small bussiness, won’t go into detail about it)

Your mother is a giant fucking asshole. Neither of those things have anything to do with one another. Nerds have created whole businesses online while barely seeing the light of day and have become millionaires and billionaires from it while barely seeing the light of day.

Secondly, if she really think their “small business” is going to survive the purposeful collapse the wealthy are going to put us through, she’s not just an asshole, she’s also a certified fucking moron.

Maybe I’ll go and pick their brains. I have had numerous failures but maybe I need to be using something other than VMware or something.

I just know I have tried suggestions from lots of reddit threads and they all failed to make a successful boot to even begin to install.

I have tried and failed this too many times to count because I have an AMD processor.

This property of water dates back to the story of Archimedes in the tub shouting “Eureka!”

Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Further especially with powers granted from an injectable serum, the kind of people naturally drawn to it will already be the kind of people seeking power for their own ends.

Look I know Bandcamp got a bad rap for being bought and sold a few times but they still have Bandcamp Fridays and that coupled with my own streaming server at home seems like the ticket to me.

And Christianity isn’t technically monotheistic either, as it has the trinity of God, Christ, and the Spooky Spirit… errrm… I mean Holy Ghost.

The book of Job is literally written in different parts in entirely different dialects that were spoken hundreds of years apart. The opening and ending is from the older dialect, and written much like a folktale. The middle is newer and written much more like an epic poem.

Even the a single book of the Bible comes from numerous sources.

I have a sinking feeling he will outlive me despite being twice my age but that’s because I expect that the new Medicaid work requirements that kick in in January 2027 will end with me kicked off Medicaid and unable to afford my cancer medications.
