  • Because we Citizens need ways to evaluate the people who are running for office to decide which one you want to give her a vote to.

    You’ve had plenty of time to do so for both candidates, as both have recently held office.

    Name one presidential election cycle where no debates were done in modern times.

    This is moving the goal posts, and a bad way to evaluate the necessity of a given debate.

    It would be immoral for someone running for office to not put themselves up for evaluation via debates. No one is owed blind loyalty.

    I’m not suggesting blind loyalty. It just seems odd that you’re trying to say the public won’t have a chance to evaluate the options when that clearly isn’t the case. Trump held office from 2016 to 2020, Biden from 2020 to 2024.

    If anybody doesn’t already know what these guys are about, then a debate won’t solve that, as they already pay too little attention.

    And besides that, the immorality of platforming insurectionists far outweighs whatever immorality could arrive in the form your suggesting.



  • Try to put Programs such as Firefox , emby in startup of linux

    Ignore me if you’re not still looking for solutions.

    IIRC, some distros have a way to do this through the gui, some don’t. I’m on LMDE, and it thankfully does have a gui to set startup programs.

    But all distros should be able to do this. Here are some a common ways:

    Instead of a complicated script, your command would literally just be “firefox”, or “emby”. You might need to search for what the command for a given program is.

    It’s nowhere near as simple as it should be, but it is certainly possible.

    [Spoilers]

    Act 3? The game bugged out in act 1 when Shadowheart tried to kill Lae’zel. It straight up didn’t show us the cut screen of them fighting, and defaulted to Lae’zel dying when we failed to stop it in a cutscene we didn’t get.

    The end result being that Lae’zel just didn’t interact with the party for a month, and then suddenly drop dead, bloody on the floor after a patch.




  • And if your electricity isn’t sourced from renewables, you’re just kicking the problem down the road.

    Partially. With the exception of maybe coal, fossil fuel energy plants are more carbon efficient than an internal combustion engine can be just due to difference in scale.

    The better option is to have it powered through 100% renewable, but it isn’t an automatic lost cause.



  • Lol. But YOU are the person telling me to vote lesser of Two evils.

    I don’t see how that has any relevance to my pointing out how ridiculous the “what if everybody suddenly changed their behavior and did X”.

    YOU are the one refusing to change for the better.

    You’re the one abstaining from voting, therefore refusing to help make change happen.

    I on the other hand am voting for candidates willing to bring election reform to fix the two party system issue.

    You’re the problem. you are the reason 3rd party candidates don’t get enough votes

    It’s an inherent bias in the FPTP election system we have. I’m not responsible for the inherent mathematical behavioral flaw in the system I never agreed to or created.

    Am i being clear?

    You’re being clear. I understand perfectly well what you’re saying. But you’re failing to understand how emergent behavior works.


  • YOU are here telling people not to vote 3rd party…because 3rd party candidates dont get enough votes.

    I’m saying don’t vote 3rd party because it splits the vote. That’s the inherent flaw with the current system.

    As much as biden would have you believe, a vote against him is not a vote for trump. And i don’t care how many times you say it.

    It may not literally be a vote for Trump, but in effect it is. The boomers who vote for Trump are the most reliably voting bloc out there. They WILL be voting for Trump next election.

    And standing idly by makes you complicit.


  • Then why are you accepting it?

    I’m not. I’m specifically voting against it where possible.

    A vote for biden is support for him to continue doing what he does. How do you not see that ?

    Not really. A vote for Biden is a vote against Trump.

    50 is bigger than 5. So I’ll vote for 5.

    While I can appreciate that. ( although its probably a waste of time)

    I’m aware it’s largely a waste of time. That’s why I do it at work when I’m trying to kill time.

    You are actively pushing people to vote for a party who absolutely supports the genocide.

    The democratic party is split. That’s not good. But in comparison the republicans are at nearly 100% support for the current genocide, plus they are cool with a second one in Ukraine.

    Both sides are not equal here.

    Biden supports genocide , you support Biden.

    You support genocide.

    I don’t support Biden. I voted against him in the primaries. I hate his policy just as much as you do. You can vote for a politican without agreeing with 100% of what they do.

    I’m doing what I can to reduce the impact of this country’s terrible politics. And that start with making sure the least bad politician is the one that gets in, because doing nothing means the worst option (Trump) gets put in power.

    I could just as easily say you support genocide.

    You support Trump. Trump supports genocide. Therefore you support genocide.





  • And yet everything still sux.

    You’re not understanding. Everything sucking is better than everything being made intentionally worse.

    You: Would you like to eat dog shit or cardboard. ?

    Me : I don’t want to eat either

    You: you must choose cardboard or we will have to eat dog shit every day!!!

    Fixed it.

    Me: What if we found something other than shit to eat?

    You have not found something better. There are three options:

    1. Cardboard

    2. Shit

    3. You waste your vote and have to eat shit.

    So why you think picking number 3 is the best option is beyond me.



  • The genocide is ongoing under the biden administration!!!

    Better than trump is still fucking awful. And I don’t support it.

    So you’re going to allow Trump to make it a bigger genocide?

    Maybe if all the people here telling me too vote biden, didn’t . and instead supported better independent candidates, we really could have change.

    That would be really great, but that’s a fantasy. The reality is that we are stuck with a two party system.

    But your going to do the same thing we have been doing for decades, and insist I do the same.

    I’m insisting that we prevent things from getting worse, and in the background we fix our two party system.

    Meanwhile you’re insisting an option that makes things as terrible as possible, as genocidal as possible.



  • Biden ran on debt cancellation, not a debt forgiveness of loams already eligable for debt relief.

    This did nothing for me and thus I will give biden nothing.

    You said it was zero but it wasn’t.

    Do you? Your only argument is better than trump.

    On basically ever single issues Biden is better than Trump I’m at least some way. That’s about as good as it can get in our two party system.

    You deserved to be mocked, your playing into the same lesser of Two evils logic they were using with George W bush.

    You’re just using ad hominems. And it shows how dogshit your arguments are.


  • I threw my vote away when I voted for biden. I got exactly zero of the things I wanted

    It’s better to not get the things you want than to get fucked by Trump destroying everything.

    Not to mention roe v wade got overturned. But that’s totally different because the dems are… Powerless to make real change? or even to keep things from sliding back?

    You are really misinformed. Roe got overturned directly as a result of republicans getting voted into power. Trump had a shit load of judicial appointments, including 3 SCOTUS appointments.

    The appointment Biden got was only able to maintain the status quo instead of making things worse.

    You’re literally blaming the democrats for the republican’s evil actions.
