were scammed

You spell ‘failed critical thinking’ with a w. Okay.

You just look down on other people instead of trying to understand why they did what they did.

Strong anti-generalization assertion.

Except

You are the reason I dislike liberals.

Ah shit, you opened with a cheesy generalization. Validating to see the"every accusation is a confession" thing holds.

But let’s get into it.

• one was bad but could be swayed

• one was worse on all counts for all criteria, was only getting worse, can’t be fixed and would tear down all the checks and balances that make government work

They picked the second option, overwhelmingly, despite the massive damage to the very fabric of the nation and the insanely worse prospects for them as a recognizable minority.

Logic it out.

That’s not happy laughter. That’s “look at the thing you’ve done to all of us” laughter.

Let’s be discerning: there was the potential for a better path out of this, but people decided on the definitely-worst-case-for-everything option on this binary choice, to ensure everyone suffers as much as possible in every situation, most assuredly during the belligerent invasion by Israel.

It was explained over and over; you need more time?

Is there a reddit-free option?

Fair. Painful and mean, but also fair.

I cannot. I have seen the family car twice since she traded in our old one to get this one - it’s been a year - and ridden in it once for an IKEA+Starbucks white-kid Sunday fun day.

I cannot abandon it for I cannot prove she hasn’t abandoned me and taken it with her. Every night is a mixture of relief and joy as she steps out of the elevator, as it means she’s back; and she’s also gorgeous so there’s that too.

Oh shit. Me and the family dog have too much in common.

So anyway, I can’t comply with this imperative. If you added an article it wouldn’t sound like Phil Hartman’s SNL lawyer character.

Yeesh! I forgot about that one; maybe because it made me think sad things about Americans. Learning this week that half of the population isn’t literate enough to read a prescription bottle, well that’s reignited sad thoughts and worries. #noChildKeptBehind

There’s someone on lemmy from my building. It’s only about 350-400 units.

Wood? You mean Fire’s Favourite Food?

probably have two last names.

Savage.

Careful. The yaml cult will come after you in a long and formless column, and only self destruct when one of them is a step too far to the left.

Oh God. Please, use anything but Ansible.

So it’s more efficient on time?

It’s the trope used by kids right now. It’s the next “litchally”.

The “hmm, america seems to be lingering in late-stage and my friends want a collapse before bedtime so…” crowd?

Zoom works for video. I test it a few times a week for a few hours with a few contacts each time.

And a few beer.

It’s a vPub most of the time with some tech thrown in.

I hate to say it, but FB Messenger is reliable for me too : starts well, sounds good, video’s clean, ends cleanly . I need to remind mom how to start that call when it’s with her on her old portal unit, but yeah. Cambridge is the worst thing to happen to good products like M and Portal.

I think I don’t like that Microsoft has access to stored chat messages between kids.

really tall guy from Jack Reacher

That’s Alan Ritchson. I think he can bench a dump truck.

Reconsider hikvision: they were recently dropped as an option for many organizations due to some new data leak, and removed from gov buildings in a number of countries.
