If trump would stop being a weird fascist people would stop talking about him, just saying…

I voted bud, just not for Harris. I.don’t.vote.for.republicans.

If national democrats want to platform all the pre 2016 republican policies, I will not vote for them.

Lots of down ballot stuff, so take your win.

The democrats are incapable of solving those problems…

I don’t vote for republicans… If you pander to and platform republicans, I will not vote for you. If you plan to put a republican in your cabinet, I will not vote for you. If your immigration plan is just the republican plan from 8 years ago, i will not vote for you. If you insist that I must support genocide otherwise there will be more genocide, I will not vote for you…

I know, I was going to use ~10 years, but used a conservative number so I could source it undeniably if pressed.

If we had an unlimited timeline I’d buy that, the problem is climate change will make all but struggle inevitable in ~75 years at the rate we’re destroying it.

Famine, water wars, and billions of climate migrants will destroy any hope of an egalitarian revolution…

is it overengineering or just a push back against “make each program do one thing well,” and saying yeah but I have n things to do and I only need them done, well or not I just need them done and don’t want to dig through 20 files to do it…

love sonarr, radarr however never quiet worked for me. It doesn’t like my network drive and then when I got around that it had this bad habit of downloading movies it already knew I had again…

You wanna know something cool though? If I was alcoholic instead of depressed, I could get help for free.

Okay? It’s objectively a good thing for alcoholics to get help. Getting equal care for other issues is the goal.

Don’t be a crab in the bucket.

Yes they’re used, but they’re not THE ONLY method of control as it was in this disaster of a sub.

If you think that trump is capable of that then you admit the American system is so flawed that a diaper wearing dementia ridden criminal is all it will take to bring it down. That Pax Americana is on the death bed and electing Biden is just kicking the can down the road.

Without the looming existential threat of the climate apocalypse and the inevitability of children born today fighting in the water wars, Biden might be fine, but we need action now and anything else isn’t just lesser of two evils, it’s complete failure in our lifetimes…

”Both options are cliffs!”

But they are though.

The cliff drivers aren’t getting off the bus, even if we vote them down this time, if we don’t change the system that allows them equal opportunity to drive us off a cliff they will eventually force it off the cliff.

Biden has long supported the system that allows it, prides himself on being able to find a middle ground with them, and though he talks about not going over the cliff has no long term plan for dealing with those that do, because again he believes in the system that allows them to want to drive off the cliff.

I believe I’ve stretched this metaphor about as far as it will go, but I’m going to try stretching it further.

There are actually two cliffs, fascism and climate change, even if we pull the bus away from one cliff we’ve still got the other in front of us and basically no one is even pretending to deal with that.

And to leave the broken bus scenario, I’m just going to say if you believe that a trump win will destroy American democracy, that we can’t defeat his corrupt, senile version of fascism then the next republican demagogue will have no problems.

“Normal guy in 2000”

as someone who was into computers and in high school in 2000, that that was not normal.

even if yo mean normal computer literate person, not even then… Most people did not run their own servers, was it more common, yeah, but it wasn’t a given.

Things were only free if you were into piracy, everything cost money though without as much marketing, but then it wasn’t a huge market…

Also ads were everywhere and worse…
