Nevermind, they went with an election denier that would love to drag us into fascistism as fast as possible. Hopefully every R in a purple district is replaced come election time.

Obviously if you're blackout drunk because you "like beer", the abuse never happened. /s

" Am I being detained or am I free to go?" If detained "then you shut the fuck up!"

The right is too far right of the moderates to agree on anything. They need a few purple state moderates to lay down the future of their seat and sit down with the Democrats and work out a compromise. Being in a purple state and you save the house it just might work out for them. Current course is likely to get them all primaried OR replaced with a Democrat next election.

That was added during the cold war by lunatics that thought it would protect us from communism somehow.

It is a way to segregate the "worthy" from the rest (or vice versa I guess depending on if your "worthy" or not).

This is also the reason that immigrants became "illegal". If they are legal you have to pay them a real wage/benefits/pay taxes for them. If you make them "illegal" you can have very cheap labor (slaves) that can't rat you out or they are deported. They also only give corporations a slap on the wrist when they "had no idea they were illegal". Then the corp just replaces them with "new hires" who are totally "NOT illegal" and starts the process all over until the next time.

Sync (at least for me) is broken with the latest rc build. I'm fine with this because I'm the silly that is running alpha/beta/rc builds of lemmy on my instance.

I tried many waiting for Sync release on Lemmy, but nothing felt as complete, it's just far and away the best IMHO.

It means that the alarm bells went off and people paid more attention to capitalism, and voting in people that actively worked against them, because those elected officials treated people they disliked even worse. Then we got a wanna be dictator that went full "journalists are an enemy of the state" because they say mean (TRUE) things about him. Journalists now choose between being able to eat, or sounding the alarm that costs them a job (and falls on deaf ears).

Probably because in a free from authoritarian government the free press is supposed to be the ultimate checks and balances on personal liberty. When you can't even write something negative about a leader without being dismembered in a hotel and disposed of in duffle bags like trash, that should be ringing alarms for anyone that isn't licking boots.

I don't think putting your head in the sand makes all the world's problems go away, just makes you ignorant and less prepared to handle them.

Yes, no predefined list ships in the code, just the ability to add words to the list.

There is a language filter still that any admin can put words into.

I LOVE other things on a schedule, me on a schedule is a day ruining mental drain that gets me all spun out.

I figured I was just going to have to wait it out, but wanted to post just as a cover all my bases thing.

He also allegedly liked busting in on sub-18 year olds at those pageants as well. He also allegedly had a long history of using "illegal aliens" as labor so he wouldn't have to pay them and they had no recourse.

Listen/watch episode 300A & 300B of The Dollop podcast on Trump and be amazed he went this long without someone (he couldn't counter-sue away) bringing charges.

Agreed, when you can look and see one side has the support of the KKK, Proud Boys, and the 3%ers on top of chanting "Jews will not replace us" and dubbed "very fine people" by the leader of said party. And on top of that they also have those that believe in Jewish space lasers, lizard people, and pedophiles everywhere drinking children's blood. They believe in the "attack on Christmas" and Jews bringing Armageddon where they will all be saved.

If you can look at any of that and be like, "well the other side..." then you have chosen a side already, and it's not center. It's probably also time for some self reflection if that isn't who you are.

Sorry as someone with ADHD and Autism, my need to have all the facts but not being able to wait for people to eventually get there is sometimes near impossible and is a constant internal struggle. This is especially bad/difficult at work.
