“The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.” Anatole France

This is exactly how he got elected in 2016. All he does is lie and attack and people believe him. If the moderators pushed him even slightly on his lies instead of allowing him to spew whatever bullshit he wanted for two minutes, the night would have gone much differently. Instead, Joe had to spend half of his time refuting clear lies instead of talking about his accomplishments.

Compared to what they were likely thinking, “Blacks for Trump” is downright progressive for them.

I love how they advertise “up to 20% off a steam deck,” but that’s only for refurbished and there’s none in stock.

Tarantulas are extremely fragile creatures. She probably killed that poor thing.

On the flip side, if it’s a new world tarantula, then they have highly irritating hairs that they’ll spray in the air. Those hairs would be more dangerous than a bite, as a spider has little to no interest in attacking an ape 50x its size.

Well, it’s not wrong…

It means they are pushing on both the brake and accelerator at the same time. In essence, they are revving the engine, engaging the power train AND applying brake force to it all at the same time.

What frightens me is when you see a vehicle put on their brake lights while they are clearly accelerating. I tend to back way away from that type of driver.

A strict history centric approach would make him property.

Does anyone else feel like she’s ramping up her media attention for a 2028 presidential run?

It just seems odd since she went silent after 2016 and now it seems like she’s trying to get in the headlines again.

God I hope she doesn’t run.

The Black Panthers open carrying is exactly what led California governor Reagan to enact the strictest gun laws in the country.

The solution to the paradox of tolerance is looking at it as a social contract. If one person tries to use your tolerance to violate your, or others rights, they are no longer protected by the agreement and do not get to benefit from it.

I wish I could find the article about it, but I can’t seem to find it now. Sorry.

Yes. Like many other suburban white folk, I had an all too naive view on racial issues. While I didn’t think all racist issues had been solved, I didn’t realize how bad things actually were.

I try to look at it like this: before 2016, I thought this level of hatred, bigotry and cruelty was an outlier in the right. That most of them just wanted tax cuts and weren’t hood wearing racists. I’ve since learned that the “outliers” are the party and the “moderates” are the actual outliers.

“When someone shows you who they are, believe them.” Maya Angelou.

This was the catalyst I needed to switch to self hosting rustdesk. It was a bit of a pain setting up, but people comfortable with cli would handle it much better than I did.

My counter argument for people saying we can terraform other planets: we can’t even keep the planet designed to sustain us viable.
