  • Can you guarantee generations after you will continue to do that or won’t backtrack on that work? Because the US did do what you’re saying in the past.

    No I can't, and our current government seems to bet trying thier best to roll back some of the gains of the last 20-30 years.

    Point is, you’re judging a country’s entire history from a position you’re in at the current moment in time. A position which isn’t guaranteed to last.

    And the twat in the OP is being held up as a right wing white rule type. He has spoken their quiet parts out aloud, but the article in question starts with Abraham Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address", (that is problematic in it's self) as the counterpoint to the current governing right. I'm calling that out as being a nation building colonial speech.

  • I'm not. My country is pretty fucked in this regard - but at least we acknowledge and are

    <semi>

    trying to work to right some of those wrongs

  • I could ask the same of you if you don't want to acknowledge America's dark history

  • I'm sorry, but the article starts with “Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, on this continent, a new nation,..." in its first paragraph.

    That statement in and of it's self screams of a white, conquering, nation building colonial power.

    He may be saying the quite bit out aloud, but your nation was built on death and repression of an already existing group of peoples.

  • You could even go the Oracle route on their free tier, probably has more compute than many $5/m VPS, although the learning curve is MUCH steeper than a simple VPS

  • and wtf do Emu's have to do with either the UK of NZ

  • Was it that hard? The UK was the subject and NZ was mentioned as the comparison.

  • “If these Tariffs ever went away, it would be a total disaster for the Country,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. “If allowed to stand, this Decision would literally destroy the United States of America.”

    If you cant stand on your own two feet - go fuck your self

  • Well all of it has to come back to the exporters (we pay it all, as trump always says) /s

    I know the current thought process is that the US consumer pays this, but I know of exporters that have been told by the big chains in the US that told the exporter to take a hit because they feel that they cant pass on all of the tariff to the US customers

    So not only is he fucking with you, but also with the rest of the world:

    • US customers pay more and buy less
    • Exporters get bullied by large US importers
    • Exporters get stung twice, Less sales and lower margins
    • Exporting countries economies suffer because you fuckers let that fuck-wit in again

    /end rant

  • /me tries to understand that comment and fails

  • to be fair it wasn't the complete church, it was rebuilt in part in the mid 1700s

    <Edit>

    it looks like the church is mostly intact from the very early 1300's (first vicar 1309) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Cuthbert%27s_Church,_Darlington.

    NZ was first settled about (current data) 1320-1350 (the earliest date that I've seen is about 1280)

  • Lived in the UK for a while - Squirrels, and the fact that the church in the town we lived in was built before ANY humans set foot in New Zealand

  • WTF - this is as an out sider

  • You may just have a choice:

    • TB, on the rise
    • Yellow fever - a real risk
    • Dengue - Yep that one is gaining momentum

  • From the outside, how is that functionally different than now?

  • um, they don't

    Each run their own jellyfin server and I guess their own jellyswarrm to access al of their friend's servers? - Not read the docs though

  • /me needs friends 😪

  • Look for the double em dash, chatGPT loves it.

    I have no real issue with someone passing a post through a LLM to expand on a thought or to help with English writing (as someone with dyslexia this can be very handy)

  • All good, taught me again not to rely on chatGPT. I even said I needed to find the right BD table and field and it lead me down a rabbit hole of editing config/env files

    Fuck AI
