I’m moderately citrus to know why we have caddisfly casings from the 1970s. Seems am odd thing to keep for so long.

Empty words should never be considered as a start.

No policy in the world will stop minors from using the app. I can’t tell you how many “I am 18+” dialogues I clicked on when I was younger. You want access restrictions.

Do you want to scan your id every time you open the discord app?

On the one hand, I suppose that depends on who is defining “basic human rights.” I’m pretty sure the Trump Convoys would claim that’s what they were doing.

On the other hand, the question was on riots, not on rights. Not all riots are justified.

This is the same as any major conflict. People want to try to work thing out without violence. The times that does happen are unremarkable. The times it doesn’t happen, we can judge later weather it was the right thing to do.

If voting could stop fascists, then in 2020 when Joe Biden got more votes than Donald Trump, he would have been president. There would have been a democrat in office from 2021-2024. And your fantasy world sounds nice, but it’s not what happened here in the real world.

Is this some kind of advanced sarcasm? Because I’m not understanding what you’re trying to say.

I can’t recall a single time in history where voting has defeated fascism.

Fascists mostly start by winning legitimate elections. Defeating fascism with votes would just look like Clinton winning the election instead of Trump.

You might as well say that you can’t recall a single time when having a visible security presence stopped a robbery.

I like huge anime titties more than this guy, but I have the decency not to advertise the fact to my neighbors.

I don’t know the meaning, either. Temba, his arms wide?

Agreed. With the added bonus that we have too live in the system while we burn it down. I’m not a huge fan of the idea, but then, I’m a maintainer by nature.

I have nifty tech, yes, but I also have vaccination deniers, Nazis, and my fourth “once in a lifetime” economic crises. I’m never going to buy a house. I’m never going to retire. I’ll probably never even pay off my student loans.

I personally think that, largely speaking, if imports are cheaper than local production, that’s a good thing!

I’m hardly an economist, right? But I agree with you, broadly speaking. But first covid, and now Trump round two is showing is the weakness of global integration. As long as everything goes smoothly, it’s jam for everyone. But let something screw up the logistics, or someone duck up the balance of trade, and everything can go to shit really fast. There are lots of things we can’t make here, but we rely on them. That is less than ideal.

I don’t know that tariffs are the way to address that issue, or even if it needs to be addressed at all. O do know that the way Trump is doing it is all wrong.

I’d go with “deshittification,” myself. It’s not important how or why they are shit, just that they are, and the laws in question prevent us from fixing it.

The airport tried that shit on me today. I was able to make it print me a boarding pass, though.

I’m becoming a luddite in my middle age.

I think that’s a feature, not a bug.

I thought the whole point of Linux was that there was one for everyone? A computer itself is an incredible potent tool, but most people just want to use Facebook and YouTube.

How’s that working for you? I’ve got a surface, and I like it, but I know that Windows is not exactly an efficient piece of software.

I’m old enough to remember them promising, repeatedly, that the nude scanners didn’t, couldn’t save images.

Joke’s on them though. They can’t delete my pictures fast enough to avoid the trauma.

If there was a viable non-genocide candidate, o wolf have voted for him.

Most of us are not getting richer, nor working shorter hours, nor living better than our parents. We’re past “services” and on into “parasites.”

In principal, tariffs can prop up domestic industry that is having trouble competing with cheaper imported products. In practice, this winds up being really complicated, because the world is a lot more interdependent than it was 80 years ago.

“I’m sorry you saw half a completed film and fell in love with it. But I want it to be the way I want it to be.”

And we want it to be the way we want it to be, and we are the ones who put money in your pocket.
