I do not owe kindness to those who oppress others. I will assume good faith and intelligence until proven otherwise.

Kill all Zionists, from the river to the sea. That includes you if you're offended by this.

I love being hated by Hexbear because I know they don't go outside. Being outside their basement is all I need to be safe from them.

  • The way to prevent a new party from being a spoiler, is having the neoliberal DNC not running a candidate.

    Since they clearly aren't interested in winning or stopping Trump, nothing would change.

  • All of those are already happening with or without her in charge. One party actively wants all fo that, the other party doesn't fight it.

  • Hexbear has a lot of good things, it's just it's users are sometimes a pain.

  • DNC: "Best we can do is approving of Trump's horrid cabinet picks, voting for internet censorship, and abandoning queer people because trans people are icky."

    I'd be way more enthusiastic to vote and donate and advocate if Dems weren't just shooting the democracy they claim to protect in the foot and then handing Republicans the gun to keep it bleeding.

    I want them to actually fight Trump. Or follow on the promises of arresting him from 2021 to now. Or enact policies that don't make people consider fascism because they're desperate and fed propaganda.

    But that would cost money and anger the donators who back Trump and them, so controlled opposition it is!

  • Spending millions a day to shuffle around people instead of actually saving money by putting them in unoccupied homes.

    Can't wait until the DNC picks him for me tells me this was actually a good thing, like platforming Charlie Kirk and Steve Banon, and saying trans people are actually disgusting with them.

    • Talk to your union
    • If you don't have a union, form one
    • If no one else cares, get a new job trucking
  • I keep my keys on a dog leach clip on my belt loop, but I am sorry to hear that.

  • I keep one in my keychain for the random instances I need one, especially when I'm away from home.

    It's come in handy more than I thought it would.

  • "You don't understand, this cop is on the side of the people. Please ignore all the others who weren't when we said they are. This is the good apple in the rotten bunch!!"

  • .world is full of them, it's maddening.

  • Coke was good, New Coke sucked, and when they went back to Coke Classic, people were so happy they didn’t even notice that they swapped out the sugar for corn syrup

    While I agree with the general statement of your comment, I do wish to be a bit "um actually 🤓☝️"

    The new product continued to be marketed and sold as Coke (until 1990, when it was renamed Coke II) while the original formula was named Coca-Cola Classic, and for a short time it was referred to by the public as Old Coke. Some who tasted the reintroduced formula were not convinced that the first batches really were the same formula that had supposedly been retired that spring. This was true for a few regions, because Coca-Cola Classic differed from the original formula in that all bottlers who had not already done so were using high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) instead of cane sugar to sweeten the drink, though most had by this time.[11]: 183 

    The putative switch was planned all along to cover the change from sugar-sweetened Coke to much less expensive high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), a theory that was supposedly given credence by the apparently different taste of Coke Classic when it first hit the market (the U.S. sugar trade association took out a full-page ad lambasting Coke for using HFCS in all bottling of the old formula when it was reintroduced).[11] In fact, Coca-Cola began allowing bottlers to remove up to half of the product's cane sugar as early as 1980, five years before the introduction of New Coke. By the time the new formula was introduced, most bottlers in the U.S. had already sweetened Coca-Cola entirely with HFCS.[2]

    New Coke was a major fuck up, but it wasn't a cover up for swapping to HFCS. Reagnomics/shifting safety laws enabled it being used, before New Coke happened.

  • Never have, never will. I've become disillusioned with the platitudes that the DNC sells the public. If they want to win, give them something that makes them not consider fascist lies of how they'll make everything better.

    But instead its means tested, racist, classist solutions that only major revisions to laws and the way a government operates could fix. And no politician wants that.

  • A more complex but more commonly used program is rsync

    rsync -rav /home/user/Documents /mnt/usbdrive is treated differently than rsync -rav /home/user/Documents/ /mnt/usbdrive which is different than rsync -rav /home/user/Documents /mnt/usbdrive/ which is different than rsync -rav /home/user/Documents/ /mnt/usbdrive/

    It's a great tool for making copies onto drives, even servers. But man you have to double check how each folder path is laid out, otherwise it'll write the files of one folder to the main drive, unorganized.

  • I mean, I already am ignoring the medical advice he gives me.

    I sadly can't ignore the medical advice he is giving the country as a whole.

  • I believe most presidential libraries have things beyond books. Things part of the president's legacy and personal equipment.

    That said, I don't think any building could hold a 747 without being a hanger. And that's going to be a very empty building, even with a gift shop selling MAGA hats, sharpies, and other junk.

    Maybe they can have a physical representation of the documents stored in a bathroom?

  • Democrats are the Leopards Eating Faces Party, Republicans are Let Leopards Run Free Without Regulation Party.

    Every time they give Republicans an inch, they'll take a mile. And then publicly cry "Giving them a mile was a mistake, we wanna walk back a foot!"

    If AOC is targeted, wanna bet enough Democrats vote yes to remove/arrest her in appeasement of Trump, thinking they'll be saved?

  • STAR voting is the best, IMO. I use it online for whenever I have to do something that requires a lot of community involvement, as FPTP can be negative, an sometimes a simple rating system works best for "who gets to be on this mod team more".

  • Dick Chaney, the architect of the war on Tower helping to enable the fascism that Trump has started, welcomed with loving arms claiming that this will somehow magically, mythically enable anti-trump Republicans to for Democrats.

    Person with a plan to stop Republicans? The DNC hates them.

    I think at this point we have two fascist parties. One just pretends to put up a fight.

  • They'll never have an honest primary, anything but FPTP, and support term limits. They get in the way of being rich while feigning support of minorities.
