Firefox and noscript will get you almost any wapo article.

edit: article is worth the read.

I think the issue here is, in typical conservative style, they just take and never offer anything in return.

quite telling that no woman will have this weird freak.

I try not to judge with incomplete facts…

but damn, do I hope the fucker is now blind - you know, to ease the terrible pain of having to look at people with (assumption incoming) a different skin color from his. you are the problem. fuck you.

signaling that mascweirdulinity like a lighhouse.

fun fact: the long term trend for number of US choking deaths per 100k of pop. does appear to be increasing again after 2017. 🤔

“Man to man, you know we can do better [than] Trump.”

that got me, right there. direct. no fluff. makes a statement that you have to think about to challenge.

“how do you remove your hand from a lion’s mouth?”

“very carefully.”

the real insanity is that your excellent observations are being downvoted.

people just have to create their preferred echo chamber any where they are and we all suffer for it.

this resonates so much…

“ok, which one of you crackheads decided an unconstrained recursive C function was a good idea right her… oh.”

this thread is it in a nut shell. the x11/wayland situation can trip things when it really should be super seamless. that will be fixed soon enough.

if you are ok with an Ubuntu base (which these days is drifting further from its Debian base) then regular mint is great.

if forced…

1. Debian stable (or sid if you loathe/love yourself)
2. lmde
3. mint
4. something other than ubuntu
5. …
6. ubuntu

not hating on ubuntu, its just been moving away from where I am at.

idk, I think dejoy is your standard sycophantic flunky. whoever has the power gets to tell him what to do and he will do it faithfully.

quassel and quasseldroid. its client-server, always on irc connectivity but does require a little setup.

you can access irc servers (if acceptable) and the quassel daemon via Tor. might just change the way you think about irc.

edit: word

just finished watching the full NABJ interview for the second time. she’s good. I mean, Obama quality good (re: politics, not policy). if she believes what she says (I heard - cuz , the feels) and is able to follow through, she can make a positive difference in this country.

if you have a political fence sitter in your life. please find this interview, watch it and share it.

edit: I have now seen lots of “she so scripted” posts on teh interwebz. pretty sure these are all astrorturf bleed over. watch the video for yourself - I came away satisfied with her as a human being and, potentially, a president. polish does not always mean scripted, my peeps.

it was a good interview for her. due in no small part to some well thought out questions from the hosts.

hard hitting it was not (great questions, but gentle followup), but it gave you a pretty decent view of a caring, thoughtful human being who wants to help.

I actually thought its was not particularly scripted. it seemed to be a genuine conversation with a US presidential candidate. she was careful and generic - no one may want that, but at this moment perhaps it really is her best option.

how her genuine human experience translates into us domestic and foreign policy is a total unknown, but I will always support the human being over an ambulatory orange ego.

just when you are sure this article is going to fluff out on you, it doesn’t.

But how does AI tell when someone is most likely lying? They’re smiling like an American.

I was oddly surprised at how I connected with this article. a useful read in a defining epoch.

'member when your dad/friends/strangers told you “don’t put your dick in crazy”? (for those of us with)

there is way too much crazy in this scenario to even begin sorting it out. its literally a null in the universe. a divide by zero, if you will. shits so weird now we need an event horizon to hide this naked singularity.

a rare (and minor) snafu for DN.

don’t how old you are, but will is old school republican. hails from what what was known as the “intellectual” appendage of the gop’s corpse. dude is wrong, but not dumb.

if we set aside the accelerated rightward sprint of the democrats since the 1980’s, a public kamala endorsement from him really is kind of a pigs flying moment.

this move might signal to the remains of his caste that its ok to secretly pull that dem lever or just sit it out. effect will likely be minimal, but not inconsequential in a super tight race.

what is more intersting is that parts of the lobotomized right are still making gurgling noises.

this thread. this thread is… heartwarming! immagonnacry!
