His whole plan was to avoid jail, I don’t think he gives a damn what happens next beyond his own enrichment.

Cheese grater.

I can’t speak for OP but personally, I want to help as many small lil communities as I can as I think that’s the best way to expand.

Canadians, season 1 is available for free on Gem!

I shamefully haven’t watched much Voyager since it was on and my first thoughts were that Janeway met Santa and thus the show was a lot crazier than I remember.

(Yes, I’ll make time next pandemic. Which RFK is doing his best to hurry along.)

As far as I understand it, that system is also why our eggs still cost normal amounts. (If a farm has to cull their birds because of avian flu, it’s not millions of chickens.)

Stabilizing might not be quite the right word I’m looking for. But for example, trying to connect a new wifi card etc. Or when one program updates but this causes instability and you have to undo the update. Even from the handful of linux wizards I know, their battle stories with updates or new configurations are enough to terrify someone.

In what way was your response meaningfully different from your original comment?

Are you an llm? Most humans, instead of restating what they’ve already said, actually read the comment to which they are replying.

Wait, this seems silly. You are in effect saying that it’s wrong to blame those who stayed home because some of them would have voted for trump? Like, we’d still blame those people too had they actually voted trumo.

The blame isn’t just because you voted for trump it is because you didn’t try to stop him, which applies both to those who voted for him and those who didn’t vote.

I think you’re missing the point a bit.

Both BuyCanadian and BuyEuropean are about supporting their respective economies as they are boycotting America’s.

For Canada, we’re looking at a recession (brought on by our “ally”) so people are trying to help fellow Canadians out as things get rough and people lose jobs.

While I support FOSS and recommend them in threads etc I fully understand why they don’t meet all the goals of those movements. (That being said, I think one of the most rocking counter punches would be EU investment in stabilizing Linux enough to make it a feasible alternative to Windows/Apple for casual and corporate users, solid shot to 2 of the magnificent 7.)

I think the UK at least has talked about putting troops on the ground as part of a peace deal which is huge.

Finished off a poop, for the glory of the empire!

What an interesting pair of choices; “I’m going to look into a month old asklemmy thread to be kind of dick.”

You must be a fascinating person with a thriving social life.

Cheers.

Physically, most of us are way weaker and in worse physical shape. (Look at old time photos for far people, or sideshow people labelled as “world’s fattest man” who would not raise an eyebrow lumbering through walmart these days.) I wonder how the balance of more manual work vs our sedentary and fatty lifestyles would play out.

I also think folks were more ready to die or get hurt as that’s just how things happened, so probably more willing to be beaten as part of a strike etc.

I have no idea what point you’re trying to make other than, I dunno, some crazy shit like everyone who disagrees with you is a Zionist or something?

But I stand by that post, if you voted for a third party, you helped trump. If you’re trying to wrap your stupidity around the plight of the Palestineans you either aren’t following the news or never really cared about them in the first place.

I get that this is probably the first humanitarian crisis you’ve seen on social media and pretended to care about but as you grow up, hopefully you’ll realize there are sometimes unfortunate restrictions around your choices. While I would have loved a better option than the Dems, the choice was them or trump. If you voted third party, you helped put an administration that is absolutely hostile to them and worse than what would’ve been the case otherwise.

Sorry if reality sucks but whining about it like a petulant child isn’t going to change it or rally others to your cause.

Ahahaha, “As long as you’re respectful one can disagree.” And a paragraph later “hey, this guy pointed out trump would be worse for Palestineans that means he is down with genoicde!!!”

Could you prove my point much harder?

I think on the Left we have a “virtuous” cycle/feedback loop that results in increasingly outlandish positions.

Essentially, for most people there’s a serotonin feedback when people upvote, applaud, reteeet etc. People, responding to incentives like anyone else shift their online discourse to match.

Similarly, even beyond the positive feedback, on thr Left no one wants to be a white cis male contradicting the feelings, emotions or arguments of a POC or LGBTQ+ person.

The Right doesn’t really have this problem as the Far right opinions are generally understood to be reprehensible to most people so those movements have evolved to work on dog whistles etc.

It’s a structural issue but one that puts us out of touch with the mainstream (consider defund the police, transgender athletes or immigration until we were getting murdered in the polls and it was too late to do anything.)

I’m loving it.

“This and that.” “Lotta guys into this and that here.” “Noble profession.”

I certainly think so! Though admittedly, I, like many Canadians, am feeling all extra patriotic given America’s threats and bullshit.)
