  • I have mine set up in groups, per hard drive.

    Documents is set up for projects. Downloads gets grouped every few months and turned into a backup downloads folder on the backup hard drive.

    So it goes from C:/Downloads into H:/Backups/Downloads/Downloads-11-19-2024

    Every other hard drive is mostly just games, so it’s set up by project and the Games with whichever launcher.

    I don’t have many projects that go more than 6 folders deep, most would be 4 at most


  • Pepe was a neutral meme. He is not anymore.

    The sad reality is that he is a politicized figuredhead for fascism. You can try and use him, but you need to be aware of how others use him, and it will end up reflecting more poorly on you than it will help reclaiming him.

    I suggest looking the links on my comment linked, but at the very least on your own look up, “Pepe meme Putin”, and “was Pepe at January 6th”. People are using him to storm the capitol and dressing him up in an iron cross to assassinate political figures. That’s not just casual memes :(

    I say this as someone who grew up with his era of memes (my first memes were icanhazcheezeburger which was the precursor to RageFu). I remember his good days too man.

    But Pepe got Alex Jonesed. He got assaulted by the MAGA cult and they put him on a cross like Jesus and now he’s dying for their sins. I don’t think we can save him.
















  • was guaranteed to lose against Kamala and then far-right would splinter and die out and everything would be fine again

    At this point the only thing I’m hoping for is that this happens in 4 years when Trump can’t legally run as president again. No figurehead, no MAGA.

    Wishful thinking, but possible.

    As for the democratic party, yeah pretty much. I think it’s been clear for a while that voters are unhappy with the DNC and reluctantly accept the lack of actual progressive policy. Much like the Republican party has been split from MAGA and “classical conservatism” for lack of a better phrase, the Democratic party has been split between liberals and leftists.

    The difference is that classical conservatives will always vote in party lines, making the MAGA figurehead their guaranteed pick.

    Democratic don’t always pick their party line. Sometimes we get independents or multiple Democrats, sometimes we just don’t show up to vote if the candidate isn’t as good as they should be. So like many have been saying, if we get an actual leftist candidate, it’s possible we would actually have significantly higher voter turnout.
