This exactly

Especially considering trump’s opinion on them and Israel’s stance on the election (wanting a trump victory) those should have been major red flags about a trump victory if you cared about Palestinians.

Voting the lesser evil is often how politics works. You pick the candidate you yu hate the least and try to mobilize more people in the future to get the policies you want.

Trump has been strong on his opinions on both Ukraine and Palestine, and his opinions were fucking terrible.

Those that didn’t vote against that are a problem.

I’d say that consuming content that only confirms your biases is a form of failing media literacy as you’re failing to see the biases inherent to the content you’re consuming. There’s the flaw of “I think it’s this way” seeking out that content and not seeing that it’s poorly sourced (if at all) and eating it up.

Not to mention the role that content suggestion algorithms play in reinforcing that behavior and providing you with even more content along the lines of the biases you’re reinforcing.

It’s a complicated can of worms for sure.

The funeral industry (in a nutshell) is hella expensive

Cost of the plot, scheduling, cost of a casket, prepping the deceased, if there’s anything special there’s that cost as well, etc

There’s a reason I tell my family that when I die, cremate me and put my remains in a coffee can. If you wanna schedule some kind of event do it completely removed from the funeral parlor.

My fellow Americans, you need to reach out to your representatives to ask them to push for legislation to repeal the Comstock Act.

Remember, if it’s still on the books it’s just waiting to be used.

Don’t let it be used, push for it to get officially repealed.

Don’t know how I missed that vid as I’m subbed to Jeff Geerling

Damn that’s an informative video though

Damn I’m happy to hear they’re alright and I hope he can get that straightened out quick

Wait, what’s going on with LGR?

I don’t have xitter account so I can’t see what’s going on

The last thing I want is to normalize dehumanizing people

Maybe it comes from being a part of a group that has historically been dehumanized but it always leads to bad outcomes

A different driver set for each chip architecture maybe?

NGL that sounds pretty cool, judges earning a title for Serving their nation as a member of SCOTUS.

And of course coming with a nice retirement package and a lifetime ban from working for companies who cases they over saw as a justice.

The median voter. So yes, the clueless.

Having a supreme court justice for each judicial district seems like a good idea to me, for a total of 13.

And also having term limits would be great.

I’m unfamiliar with the “Rust” situation, has something gotten crusty or something?

me to Intel

He technically did get impeached for that, he didn’t get removed from office (which is infuriating) but it was one of his impeachments.

He definitely should have faced more though

I’m enjoying Linux Mint so far

I’m thinking I may hope around to a distro using a newer kernel but meh

Mint is pretty nice

Edit: My “meh” is because Mint has been super stable for me and I’m not really sure that the effort to switch distros is worth it given that my systems are already rock solid.

Personally I’d support the people hosting the instance you like

They do a lot of work hosting the sever which is very much not free

After a lot of struggle and multiple failed attempts, I quit drinking

The first attempt I got sober for the sake of someone else but never addressed the cause of my addiction. So when they died I fell off the wagon really fuckin hard. (This was also the only attempt at sobriety where I experienced withdrawal symptoms)

The second attempt I tried to get sober my life had gotten so much worse by that point and I didn’t have any idea of healthy coping mechanisms so that one failed after a month.

The third attempt I had addressed some of the issues but I didn’t have a healthy friend group that could accept me for being sober. So that attempt failed because I didn’t want to lose my friends that I had gained.

The fourth attempt came after my doctor told me I would be dead before 30 of I didn’t stop. My current friend group (the one from attempt 3) weren’t supportive of my plans to get sober. And even told me to find a new doctor as my was apparently “too stupid”. I was beginning to show signs of liver damage pretty bad at that point so I made the call and cut them out of my life.

I got sober for me, I went from a fifth of at least 100 proof alcohol every night to zero. I quit cold turkey.

It was so fucking hard. It was literally months before I no longer had to fight the urge to suck spilt liquor off the floor when I smelt it. It allowed me to face my mental health head on and actually deal with my problems.

And over the years it has only gotten easier to stay sober.

If anyone has any questions feel free to ask.
