My wife enjoys Christmas shopping, wrapping and decorating. I do not. I am happy to offer opinions and thoughts when she asks for them. I am happy to cook, clean, work and entertain. It works and honestly, if I forget what’s under the tree it feels like a vicarious adventure for me. I see no reason to believe that there’s anything wrong with making Christmas work.

How about we stop pretending that the left doesn’t have its own share of emotionally damaged asshats and try to pick leadership that solves problems instead of pandering to one side or the other?

Meanwhile my Linux runtime still boots for 1G and Emacs is looking pretty good right now lol

I would argue that they do follow those rules. They’re just willing to destroy other kids at school with hopefully more kids behind them. Same goes for muslims in mosques, etc

There is also a group of people who cannot take a joke but I mean the people who would scream/yell, shame you, criticize you or call you a Nazi just for having an opinion you don’t agree with or so much as catching a whiff that you can’t yet empathize with their problems. Threats and acts of violence.

You know it’s the youth that’s tipping the voter’s scales by in large because they’re not able to rationalize other people’s emotional damage including those of wing influencers and left wing doomers and blow hards.

You agree? Do the work, or your the problem. Disagree? You’re a Nazi. Wanna just live your life? Complicit Nazi.

There’s a thing in criminology called labelling theory. It transcends the idea of criminality. Combine this with a strong thrust of financial hardship and you start sinking ships

Hate to burst your bubble but far left sound and act like violent facists and helped pave the way for the far right. They do sound the same. It’s the moderates that actually want everybody’s needs met.

Absolutely! Of all of the grilled cheese recipes out there this is by far one of the recipes out there. A little bit of cheese can really make your day better. Just like that time that Mankind faced off against The Undertaker the WWF pay per view special “Hell in a Cell”, 1998. Mankind climbed to the top of the 16 foot cage and taunted the Undertaker to wrestle him up high, only to end up getting thrown into the commentator tables below. Everyone thought the match was over but just before Mankind was taken out in a stretcher he got up and ran back for more. I’ll never forget how The Undertaker choke slammed him through the top of the cage and onto the thumb tacks below. It just really gives me hope for humanity.

“We wanted to create a platform where I don’t have to work so hard for 300,000 per month” is what I get from this. The majority of people don’t see this for working two full time jobs.

You’re absolutely right! Those posts do have many indicators of having been written by an AI. You’re doing a great job finding these comments

Until DJT goes full Putin, this is his last term

I tried to find the binary blobs in Signal for android but it looks like a Kotlin app to me. Maybe these were there at one point but were removed later, who knows.

Come to think of it I’m surprised that we can say “no Google play services” but in the same breath support MicroG as if the client apps have anything to do with which version of Play Services they support.

Sorry but F-Droid allows many apps that use “undesirable” networks and services but for no reason that I can see snuffs out the one wholly supported notification system on literally all android devices. Its plug and play. Its got no place in the “Free” part of FOSS but it’s still intentionally more challenging to get around.

Apparently the packaging requirements for F-Droid are more challenging than just “must be open source” and aren’t for everybody.

The “no Google Play services” alone are a non starter for many apps. My preferred messenger, Signal, is plenty open source and runs its own notification daemon, but cannot be found on F-Droid. I have to get it via Obtainium instead.

A lambo obviously

There is currently* nothing Microsoft Office does that I can’t happily do in LibreOffice

Why waste time when few words do trick?

Aw man, they own a home too? 😅

This is the “Turning Point USA” we need.

Would is the hypothetical polite request. Will is the expectation that I’ll do it. They are more interchangeable than my being capable of doing it.

For the love of god just ask me if I would do something rather than ask me if I can.

Yes, I can pass the salt. But WILL I? 😑
