Stunning, I wish my Dahlias were that healthy.

I try not to downvote just based on disagreements, but based on degrees of bad faith, at least on politics. My upvotes are definitely progressive and anti-genocide. With this topic I think it’s fair to say that every comment defending genocide is inherently bad faith.

I wouldn’t personally care too much how mods vote, so long as they’re not botting. It is far more concerning to see reported instances of violent rhetoric being ignored on an instances and that may warrant clear cases being reported to the instance mods.

It could be beneficial to the world news portion to adopt a similar recommendation in their rules to politics, which is recommending that they vote more similarly to Jordan, EG not downvoting people who make real arguments to support their points. The point of these discussions should be dialog between competing viewpoints and it gets hard to do if they’re downvoted into oblivion for not knowing something you do or vice versa. It would then also be much harder for mods to justify their votes on validly sourced genocide coverage. Just my 2c

Wanting freedom is now the same level of evil as genocide? This is your brain on propaganda.

Pardon lawyer? Just call him what he is: A fascist recruiter.

Something as powerful as an M3 at the very least could be used as a folding@home client. Other suggestions would be a rendering farm machine, a retro emulator for higher end consoles like PS3+, or part of a carputer since it’s got GPS and is quite efficient.

Did Josh Hawley even say thank you? Looked like he almost pissed his pants.

Iirc Trump steaks are frozen. Walmart steaks are quite good and never frozen.

Can’t speak much on that, but I can tell you that I worked on the computer of someone who used high contrast settings to help them see the screen better and after visiting 3 or 4 major websites it was clear most don’t account for background gui changes and will use less code rather than forcing it, which leads to white on white or black on black text. Part of why I was there was it was getting worse, and so they got a 55" TV as a monitor, which allowed them to go back to standard windows appearance and avoid all the nonsense.

“Dual loyalty” is never targeted at zionists, it is targeted at jews (and catholics for a different reason). It is still a racist bigoted trope.

That would be one of the less alarming things in the Skywalker family.

Stay in power forever.

Move all of the resources away from those they don’t like to those they do.

Subjugate women into sex objects owned by men who don’t view them as valuable outside of that framework.

Fortify their survival in luxury escape zones while dictating orders to those that made their money for them.

Start micropenis wars.

Maximize the safety of pedophiles.

Kill off the poorest Americans to lower all ships, knowing theirs will sink the least.

Biden had zero chance of winning even based on the more accurate polling that his campaign had. Polling, by the way, that he ignored for literally months that could have been spent shaping Kamala’s campaign or running a primary. The polling showed over 400 electoral votes to Trump and Biden in his infinite stubbornness only subscribed to people that stroked his ego (Joe Scarborough) and refused to step down until leaders like Nancy Pelosi started threatening him.

Much like Florida’s campaign to make trans identity into a mental illness, this is a long con to give prosecutorial power against people at a later date when they decide the mentally ill are, “useless eaters” as the Nazis called them. It may seem extreme, but RFK has already signaled a disdain for neurodivergent people that’s blatantly ableist and borderline eugenicist.

The realm in which he picks his fights is full of people who get off on being “above the fray.” Every time he attacks someone who can defend themselves, he quietly stops in a hurry.

More intelligence could do the guy some good. He can’t answer basic questions about things like his responsibility to abide by his sworn oath as well as how many signal leaks there have been at any given moment.

Lol, yes – Let’s hear from a conservative opinion piece and also the founder of Citizens United’s pet propaganda project to make our point about a factual event. I do appreciate the citing though, please keep doing that just with real sources.

Dejoy was step one. This is definitely step 2 or 3 at least. Arguably not making Amazon pay taxes when they’re one of the heaviest users of interstates was also a step…

The irony of that being hosted on NYT is palpable.

2 things missing that are more important than any of that:

Endless money and the freedom to lie endlessly. When you have standards, things take longer. Doing otherwise forms a weak government akin to fascism where you need an enemy at all times.

I guess definitionally Trump sycophants are extremely tolerant of the smell of shit.
