    Politics concerns everything, and everything under the sun has a political component. You can’t extract human relations from governance and political action.

    Political (n) Of or relating to views about social relationships that involve power or authority.

    One of many meanings, but the one most relevant to this post.

    Also: Exhausted with the same damn argument of “Why does everything have to be political, there doesn’t need to be politics in x,y,z thing!” Jesus, the root of the word politics is the Greek word ‘polis’ which meant anything having to do with the citizens, the people, so yes, it’s all goddamn political.

    Polis (n)

    1. City
    2. Community


  • Some are talking about power consumption in this thread and I’ve had similar ideas. Gone are the days where I can run a beefy spec’d desktop in good conscience, it’s just such a resource hog. I have a laptop that stays in hibernate mostly. My other idea for a low power consumption home computer was to get a Le Potato single board and pair that with an e-ink monitor (there’s some really nice ones out there) which I think was sitting at maaaaybe ~5kwh. I think the more we can limit our power consumption, the better, all that electricty directy translates into coal being burned and additional CO2 being created. I’m no luddite, but it has impacted how I consume media which is now very mindful of the impact watching a few episodes/playing a couple hours of games versus just one or two hours of content on any given day.

    Buuut it’s your guy’s fault, if only you’d have voted for the less evil of the two evil guys we’d have a waaaay less evil guy doing less evil guy shit and being waaaay less evil-y obvious about their evil shit. Don’t you see? You made it obvious that the evil guy is an evil guy, instead of the less evil of the evil guys, damnit!!!
