They have 4 years to tighten up. I'm not optimistic. The only victory they have had since Obama was a fear victory.. nobody wanted Biden they were scared of trump. That is played out.

The right did a good job of parading him around as an anti-establishment, for the common people candidate. I don't think that's true, but a lot of people do.

I hope the D party reorganizes as a populist anti-establishment party and holds a ranked choice primary with some young actually left leaning candidates who can't be bought.

To be honest, if the D party don't reform and earn my vote, I'm not giving it to them out of fear anymore. Before trump I had a "no lesser of two evils" policy for voting. And I'm going back to it. They had 4 years to plan, hold a primary, do some prosecuting of rich criminals, understand why Trump's popular and strategize to beat it, literally fucking anything. Did they?

I'm over it, they can run a fair primary with some progressive candidates and let the people decide, and then I'll vote. Tired of whatever they're doing and it looks like a lot of others are as well. Hope they figure out the obvious issue they have and fix it. Since its a two party system they're hogging the only route that the left has to success and fucking it up remarkably bad. Like I could do a better job and I'm an idiot.

Mainstream tech adoption needs a neat clean wrapper imo. I think that's the biggest missing piece to fediverse, people want pretty, simple, plug and play.

If a wrapper like that could be put on top of/combined with all the good qualities that the fediverse offers, I think it would create optimal conditions for slow adoption.

I used to do a lot of jiu jitsu and the gear gets so sweaty and gross beyond belief and it gets a permanent funk. I tried everything to get it out, but here's the distilled formula. Sometimes.. stuff is beyond repair

  • Use less detergent. Counterintuitive, I know. But this actually made a difference. Something about extra soap staying on clothes and bacteria growing? I always thought more soap = more clean = more clean smell, but this did seem to make a difference. If they instantly stink once they get wet, this could be your issue.
  • oxiclean odor blaster. Soak the clothes in it as per the directions for a couple hours, then throw a little in the wash.
  • quarter cup of white vinegar in the fabric softener (more is not better) and an extra rinse after.
  • consider small amt of borax in the wash
  • line drying in the sun
