Is there a source for that response? It sounds good, and I’d like to read a reasoned argument for the paraphrase.

He says thank you, and you’re pretty, too.
Wages not tracking with costs and inflation is certainly a problem; corporate America and, specifically, Wall Street investors reaping the most benefits from growth is a cancerous tumor that will sink the country if not fixed. However, trade jobs are essential to the country. Not everyone gets their mommy to but them a car and pay for their degree. Not everyone wants to go to college, get a white collar job, and sit in a cubicle for the rest of their lives.
If you’re not getting paid enough, Unionize.
I love Zoey.
But do not tell my boys. One would probably love Zoey, too - he’s a cat’s cat, and a white-ish version of Zoey - but the other is fantastically jealous.
Friendly, pretty, outgoing, and wants to be involved in anything anyone is doing:
OK. Wow, I didn’t know. I don’t really track her.
That’s unfortunate; I guess there aren’t really any strong moral leaders, after all.
Yup. And in the meantime, work to support the change to government that’s needed to allow third parties a chance. Support Approval Voting, or Ranked Choice Voting, or whatever is being most successful at your local level. Lobby your representatives to eliminate the electoral college. Support NPVIC, especially if you live in a state that hasn’t yet signed on.
You said forget third parties. OK. Trump wants a 10% tariff across the board on all imports. He’s said he thinks the Israelis agent going far enough, and should exterminate the Palestinians. He’s already cost women choice over their own bodies.
So, yeah. Work for initiatives that will allow real change; and in the meantime, swallow your gorge and vote for the lesser of two evils, because that’s the only kind of vote that counts.
I make no excuses. We’ve seen what Trump presidencies look like; the last was bumbling and did massive damage to civil rights, the next won’t be. Project 2025 ensures that.
Biden’s biggest crime has been supporting Israel. His presidency was categorically and measurably better for the US than Trump’s. Aside from Palestine, he wasn’t a bad president. Now, if Trump wasn’t saying that Israel isn’t going far enough; if Trump were supporting Palestine, then there’d be something to talk about. But he isn’t, and he did terrible things to our country while in charge, and should never be allowed near the White House again.
The word has negative connotations, but I stand by it. I an not saying there result isn’t stronger, but if you extend cultural mixing out to the maximum - say humans and the planet survives another thousand years, and global travel is no harder than traveling to the next town over - what you end up with is homogeneity, and this would be sad, I think. Imagine it: the entire world speaking some pidgin derivative mashup of Mandarin, English, and Hindi, with essentially the same culture everywhere on the planet. Just as has already happened, languages are lost, because nobody speaks them natively anymore. All that’s left of the original cultures are some UNESCO sites and preserved old movies. I can’t say the world wouldn’t be stronger for it, but in the process, something irrecoverable is lost.
That’s a decent solution. I was referring to The Paradox of Tolerance. You can disagree with Popper, but it’ll take more that a couple of sentences in Lemme to convince me.
So, you’re on favor of enslaving robots.
Duly noted, H-#1D0146641.
Maybe. I’m not that suspicious, and I think even Jill would balk at that if she knew.
I don’t believe she’s intentionally trying to be a spoiler, or is immoral. I do think she must be fantastically naïve if she thinks she’s doing anything other than helping Trump.
Are you aware of just how much money is hidden behind shell PACs? I’m speculating because I don’t have the resources to track down who’s behind who; who’s behind who on every contribution.
Individual contributions are safe, and it’s good for her that enough individual donors she qualified for matching funds. I mean, it’s a pretty low bar; $5,000 in (each of) 20 states, but, yeah, it’s good for her. It’s enough to run how many national ads, do you think? It’s nothing compared to the millions being spent by the other parties, and - you did make a good suggestion. I should go and see just where her contributions are coming from.
I’m not an investigative journalist, and my interest in this is so low even posting comments on Lemmy is taxing my patience. But I will say: better statisticians than myself have said that Ralph Nader had a significant spoiler effect on Al Gore; Ralph Nader gave the presidency to Bush. I contributed, because I was young, ignorant, and I hated Tipper Gore; and I voted for Nader.
Nader never had a chance; he didn’t come remotely close to being elected. By voting for Nader, I was helping Bush.
Bernie helped sink Hillary; his lukewarm endorsement, and the vitriolic intrangency of his base, tipped the scales. If the Bernie Bros had all voted for Hillary, history would be much different. We wouldn’t have an activist, right-wing supreme court - the single biggest damage Trump caused in his term.
As long as the US uses the Electoral College and First-Past-the-Post voting, this is the reality. Idealism will not fix it: voting for third parties won’t fix it. No third party will win even a single state, much less the election. And while I try to have patience with idealists, I don’t think the world can afford to faff about with people like Jill Stein. The world can’t afford to have younger people learn the hard lesson I did. Votes count, but only votes for major parties. Other voters may as well stay home for all the harm they’ll do.
Well, by your post history, you’re merely an antagonistic troll, but: you’re wrong.
I’m with you; I prefer date versioning for many things. Semver does work really well for things with exposed APIs; it’s a stretch to justify using them with user tools, and especially GUI tools. Semver is used to great effect in Go - which is how it should be use: mainly by the language’s module management system. Outside of that, it’s human readable, but like XML, its main value is to machines, and only secondarily to humans.
Calendar versioning is far more human-oriented, and so more useful for things without exposed APIs or module tooling.
@best_username_ever mentioned Semantic Versioning. It’s an actual spec. Not everyone follows it, and it doesn’t make sense for a lot of things, and far too many people are dogmatic about it. But it’s a good thing to read, and it’s not long.
A related, but not tightly coupled, spec is Changelog. Used together, and used correctly these two are nice for users.
Did they watch the same debate that I did?
My problem is that I absolutely loath gardening. I love the gardens; I hate the upkeep. Weeding, tending, watering, repotting, fertilizing, pruning… I’d rather clean toilets. It’s so hard on my back, I’m miserable being outside when it’s hot or humid, and we don’t control the weather.
Someone’s taking care of all that. It’s lovely… if it’s someone else.
I would not be surprised if a lot of money was funneled into third party campaigns during general elections by PACs of the two main parties as a spoiler strategy. I would be shocked if you tracked campaign contributions to the Green party and to Jill Stein in particular, and didn’t find that most of it came from some Republican PAC. If Jill can siphon any votes from Biden, all the better for the Trump campaign.
The Democrats probably do it, too, except Republicans locked out dissent with the “Thou Shalt Not Defy Our (current) God, or we’ll destroy your local race with vengeance next chance we get” tactic, and it works. Many Conservatives may disagree with Trump, but they’re all terrified little bitches of standing up to him because they’ll get dumped on an lose their jobs if they do. So there’s fewer spoilers for Democrats to fund.
But I’d be real money that most of Stein’s financing comes from conservative PACs, and that’s why you only see her pop up out of here gopher hole once every 4 years.
The Paradox of Tolerance says intolerance must not be tolerated.
Crush them. Brutally, if necessary.
I’m honestly not sure why he doesn’t just have all of SCOTUS murdered, and if anyone in Congress moves against him, have then eliminated as well. Do Trump in, whole he’s at it. Full on blood bath.
Tell me why not?
