It's a low bar, being less about knowledge and more about willingness and curiosity.

There are tech savvy people in every generation and some dumbos. IMO the low bar for being tech savvy has nothing to do with PDFs, it's whether or not you can install a functioning operating system on a device. Anyone who can do that can figure out any of that other stuff.

Agree, but right now we have bigger fish to fry. We are in chemotherapy mode to save democracy, anything that hurts Tesla is good for now. We can debate the pros and cons of the dealership business model if we survive.

One of big hurdles with therapy is finding a therapist that won't gaslight me with capitalist propaganda when I express political or career angst. Being well adjusted to an insane system is not the goal I'm looking for.

The voter turnout was very low, Trump's active supporters are more like a third of the country, which is still too much, but not insurmountable. And many of those were just one issue voting dummies. I think Trump's hardcore base is closer to 20%.

I assume you mean piracy, but I think you misunderstood. I have no desire to give JKRs works any of my attention and I regret my past love of HP. She is a disgusting bigot and her legacy is forever tainted for me. I'm simply not interested.

Harry Potter is already dead to me. Fuck JKR.

No one is looking to incite a civil war, even if many people on both sides fantasize about it. War is grueling and terrible and we are still too comfortable to risk it. BUT. I think preparing ourselves for the eventuality is wise. Really the best move we could make would be a general strike. It'd be a bloodless deathblow to this stupid stupid situation.

Honestly if we treated each other as well as we treated dogs we'd already be in paradise.
