I always thought I hated career politicians until trump came around.
The difference in skill sets between someone who spent a lifetime navigating politics and someone who spent a lifetime conning people is monumental.

Never change my man

The obviously intentional premeditated extrajudicial killing of Michael Reinoehl is another one, and a scary precedent.

“Her favorite was, she’d be in proximity to me — either near the elevator, or in the lunch line, or at one of the ice cream socials — and she’d say, ‘What is that smell?’ and she’d recoil from me,” Carroll said. “She would say it in front of other legislators, and it was humiliating.”

I love this move. Should I stop doing it to people?

recapitated ,

Some people honed a technique that does what a bump stock does without one. It's all really inaccurate obviously, but also obviously horrific for soft target crowds.

recapitated ,

NC deck could be cool but I found it really disappointing.

recapitated ,

Drop everything and do what exactly

recapitated ,

I'm pretty sure the only way to solve this is by an extension of politics though another means. Are you ready?

recapitated ,

Poor you

recapitated ,

Oh I didn't even notice the block button. That's actually less effort than typing out "please block me". Thank you for the last lesson you'll be able to give me!

recapitated ,

I would like to hear some encouraging examples for the has part of "can and has". (Bearing in mind the chart from this post)

It seems to me that market forces are in charge of us, and I don't believe we're going to escape the death spiral we're in. I would of course love to be wrong.

You're not wrong but the subject of the article is smog

recapitated ,

Here I sit, same as ever.
Took a dump, pulled the lever.
The toilet clogged.
The water flowed.
Look out world, it's a motherload!.

Why is it my favorite? I have no idea... Probably because I'm awful.

recapitated ,

I read this twice and I'm not smart enough to understand which part of it Trump owes money for.

recapitated ,

Minor threat

Bad brains

Early black flag / circle jerks

Negative approach

Infest

recapitated ,

This was not on my bingo card.

recapitated ,

Sounds like a lefty

recapitated ,

My point is >8 years ago only the left seemed to notice inappropriate NATO operations. Now that there's an actual threat at stake where NATO is extremely important, the right is losing their mind about NATO. It's fucking wild.

recapitated ,

How soft on crime of them

recapitated ,

So, it is really important to recall and reframe these statements. But I really hate "news" about old news "resurfacing". Because it's literally not news and hasn't been for a long time.

It's an expenditure of the outlet's credibility to do the job of a different type of media. Even if I agree with it, I just expect The Independent to be slightly closer to a tabloid than a serious publication now. Let the DNC & pundits field this messaging.

Totally random social media person is another bridge too far.

Oh well, since it's here anyway I hope it helps at least a couple people move their mindset forward.

recapitated ,

Rule 34 was really just copypasta to start with.

recapitated ,

It's a two way street. I'm not a veteran but I do not care if my political opponent displays an inverted flag. It's meant to be a signal of recognition of distress. It's not even necessarily unpatriotic.

recapitated ,

Take the high road, we're all supposed to be neighbors first.

recapitated ,

Does your family want 2 CDs?

recapitated ,

Same thing as last time.

recapitated ,

Usually they go less far in practice than their promises, because our government was designed to be gridlocked.

recapitated OP ,

FWIW I am also weirdly appreciative of the government accountability office watchdog report, in case this helps with direction.

recapitated ,

Congratulations, you re-implemented /b/ on lemmy

recapitated ,

This has left me with ripples of giggles for days, btw.

recapitated ,

Not if a business is in control of it

Then slammed, and flattened again, and then kneaded, rolled, blasted, and risen. Then he's gonna get SLICED.

On a political spectrum, the term libertarian should relate to anti-authoritarian. So, I can see how the case can be made against socialized healthcare for them. It's not really about true freedom or liberty. And in the US anyway, it's largely just facade co-opted by the fascist [authoritarian and wealthy] right wing, ironically.

The word "Libertarian" in US has less relation to the dictionary definition than "Republican" and "Democrat". These are names of parties over here, even if they have a namesake of governmental mechanisms.

Examples:

Ron Johnson said in a single breath that he was a libertarian and opposed the legalization of marijuana.

Find the average "libertarian" policy position on border policies.

US politics is unfortunately entrenched in tribalism rather than searching for the right tool to match a job or solve a problem and maximize outcomes, the libertarians over here are no exception.

recapitated ,

I think before folks downvote this for being a flawed opinion on its face, they should remember what the actual question was, and this statement wasn't lodged in a vacuum.

Now if actual libertarians are downvoting this I'd love to hear their corrections.

recapitated ,

That categorization is really helpful for understanding this mindset, thanks!

recapitated ,

Please do elaborate

recapitated ,

Well, the great news is these forums are vastly inconsequential.

recapitated ,

I think you're overestimating how many voters are deeply against Israel's assault on Palestine, while also underestimating the ability of those virtuous people to understand the landslide of harmful outcomes that would come with another trump presidency.

recapitated ,

Yeah I mean I could have qualified my statement better but you know if they are voters, and they go to the polls, and Palestine is on their mind instead of domestic matters, they're not going to pick the other guy.

Read this in Rodney Dangerfield voice

Nextcloud appreciation post

After months of waiting, I finally got myself an instance with Libre Cloud. I was expecting basic file storage with a few goodies but boy, this is soooo much more. I am amaze by how complete this is!!! Apps let me configure my instance to fit everything I need, my workflow is now crazy fast and I can finally say goodbye to...

recapitated ,

I've been running it for about 6 years, literally never did me dirty.

Docker compose pull every couple weeks, bump the major version whenever it's time, migrations always work.

recapitated ,

Sorry you're getting down voted so much. I personally don't have this problem, but if you do it's a valid experience. UX is not easy to get right for the masses.

recapitated ,

Please define illegitimate electoral college.

recapitated ,

I agree with you that it's outdated and a terrible fit.

Until we effectively replace it in law, unfortunately, it's literally not illegitimate.

recapitated ,

Don't interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake.

recapitated ,

I honestly envy them.
