And Democrats are "merely" authoritarians who 1) have colluded with fascists for decades to secure a duopolistic stranglehold on power, 2) have endorsed many of the same positions, historically, 3) place power above all else, including risking lives by boosting the cred of a literally insane psychopath fascist so they could win in 2016, 4) share many of those fascists views on privacy, personal security, freedom of expression.

Democrats only look good when compared to fascists. Is that really the best we can do?

The real issue here is that this has been a strategy of the DNC for years. As much as they'd like to deny it, they are responsible for the rise of Trump and extremism. But we'll be asked to pretend that didn't happen, again.

When you endorse racist fascists to win, you're no better than those wh osupport them.

Israel is not a protectorate of the US but an independent and democratic country whose citizens are the ones who choose the government

Okay cool, can we stop supplying weapons and Intel now?

Constantly having issues

You're going to see a lot of issues on Linux boards because people go to then for help. I've been running Linux since 2020 and though there have been hiccups, its been remarkably reliable. Having said that, when there ARE issues, it can take some digging to find answers.

Is it not stable

Moreso than Win 11, in my experience. I use Win 11 at work and I've needed a system wipe twice. Once because networking just... stopped... and once because appx apps decided not to load.

Ongoing issues

Plugging PopOS as a good "set and forget" distro that is easy to grasp. The workflow is very MacOS and the tweaks they've made make for a friendlier interface v Ubuntu, IMO.

Part of it is either Reddit manipulating search positioning or Google (most people's default search) prioritizing Reddit results. Searching for answers to questions often results in a half page of Reddit links. They may not be relevant, but that doesn't become apparent until you're there.

he was ordered by a judge to stay away from Washington and its museums and public monuments, prosecutors said.

Speaking of the Constitution, barring someone from an entire CITY seems to be rather outside of the spirit of the document itself.

Yes, I recall when they had a policy of never allowing account deletion.

Aah yes, the corporate whiner strategem.

"We overextended and now we have to sell at a loss! Help us, Obiden wan Joenobi, you're our only hope!"

Yeah fuck that. At least these fucks have a hard reset button if they fail. I bet most indebted people wish they could "realign" with little personal cost.

I'll take a 20% subsidy to offset my costs too, thanks.

I mean, they let themselves get bought by Yahoo and they banned erotic art. Its like they want to fail.

Aah, the infamous "they." The enemy, the other, who is both villain supreme and the means to justify inaction.

Voting in the US works at the local level, arguably sometimes at the state level. I've seen it work. That it doesn't work at the higher levels has less to do with conspiracy and everything to do with the fact that (in the U.S. at least) both Democrats and Republicans have been colluding to close out opposition for years. That has nothing to do with capitalism and everything to do with power. Absent active engagement, every system falls to greed and power.

He misspoke.

He meant "total genocide."

 

Sorry for the mere preview; I'm not sure how to upload multiple images on Kbin, if there is a way at all.

If it piques your interest, you can find the rest of it on my Erisly profile here.

So what is this? Basically, we've created a comprehensive random person generator for the Western Heartlands (where Baldur's Gate takes place) based on demographic data gleaned from Forgotten Realms sourcebooks. We use it to replace the rather lackluster Reincarnation table, to generate people in the world, and to brainstorm new character ideas.

Use, enjoy, or ignore as you like!
