Yeah. The far-right border bill that aided in the demonization of immigrants we’re seeing today. The fact that so many democrats attached their name to it only served to launder the right’s racist fear-mongering about immigrants.

Fuck that bill. It’s bad policy and bad politics.

The Green Party literally turned in a referrendum form instead of a ballot form. The judge approved what they turned in.

This fuckup is 1000000% the fault of the unserious members of the local Green Party. They may as well have signed it in crayon too.

Maybe next time, The Greens can take their jobs seriously and run a serious candidate and file the correct forms instead of whinging at the Democrats for their own mistake.

Now the question is: is Jill Stein 🤔?. The people will let democracy decide on their ballots.

She didn’t. She just said “as a Jewish American” and whomever transcribed it added the #, I guess for the engagement, which is good because the message that Jewish people stand against ethnostates and genocide is one that unfortunately many people still need to hear.

So anyway, god bless Chase Oliver, Jo Jorgensen, Gary Johnson, Ron Paul, and all other right-wing spoiler candidates. We thank you for your service o7o7o7

Also, we had this exact same conversation a few weeks ago, and it’s …interesting… that it followed the exact same dialogue tree and not at all suspicious of the integrity of your account… 🤔

I never said anything about fairness. You keep fixating on it.

US electoral politics have nothing to do with fairness. They are downright anti-democratic. Gotta play the game and make as few tactical mistakes (like voting for Grifting Jill) as possible.

I support actual left-wing parties when they’re viable, but Jill Stein and Cornell West need to fuck right out of presidential elections and end their grift. The Greens and other third-parties that run in other elections they can actually win have my support and my vote.

Not a question of fairness for me. It’s a question of if it’s more likely to bring good things or bad things. Spoiler for repugs = good. Spoiler for dems = bad.

I wish the right-wing spoiler candidate the very best o7

The boss makes a dollar,

When people hear the concept of thought crimes described to them, they rightfully recoil in disgust at that kind of dystopic idea. However, euphemize the concept as intellectual property, and for some reason, most people are fine with it.

The New York Times is a right-wing rag, and we should stop pretending it’s not.

I’d love to see him sporting an orange beanie to match his jumpsuit.

Good point. I edited my original comment. Thanks for providing a more positive perspective on this :)

You can’t open a restaurant that doesn’t comply with food safety law. This is a “skill issue” on Musk’s part. Not censorship.

Typically, I would agree. However, what is happening with Twitter and Brazil isn’t censorship; it’s Twitter refusing to appoint legal council to respond to any legal complaints within Brazil’s jurisdiction. Musk has made the conscious decision to have Twitter not be legally-compliant with Brazil’s laws, therefore Brazil doesn’t allow them to operate there.

Sorry. To clarify what I meant: the “bummer” is that I want the situation with Starlink, Twitter, and Brazil to result in the permanent downfall of that dogshit site, and severe fines for Starlink so that other countries can look toward Brazil as an example of how to deal with the kinds of social media sites that allow disinformation to propagate.

The fact that Starlink has agreed to comply takes off some of the heat, and therefore leaves some of the territory of fully exploring the legal ramifications of holding reich-wing billionaire freaks somewhat accountable for the shit that their companies do unexplored. Yeah, it’s good that Twitter is still forbidden from operating in Brazil, but I would have liked for Musk to face more repercussions through Starlink as well.

I hope that the EU still takes action against Twitter though, with or without any additional escalation involving Starlink.

Silly question: what’s the difference between the otf and ttf fonts?

Edit: thanks for the explainers!

That’s a bummer. I was hoping EU countries would be inspired by Brazil to actually enforce some of their laws and ban Twitter as well.

Edit: as vxx pointed out, there is a positive way to interpret this outcome, and I was probably being needlessly pessimistic.

I know a bunch of people that own Steam Decks, know nothing about Linux, and have no idea that their games are running on it. I’d say it’s pretty easy now.

“Karen compiler” is almost perfect, except unlike Karens, the compiler is delightfully helpful with the error messages it gives you (usually). It usually gives a straightforward error, an error code, and sometimes, an easy fix.

As someone that started with Rust, but just yesterday had to fix some C++ code, working with any other compiled language makes me shudder. I have nothing but respect for devs that have to wade through stuff like that.
