And here we are Schwartzless.

It is a .ml, they are here to say what the CCP tells them to, not argue in good faith.

I don’t have the source, but I am almost certain the constitution, per the founders, was meant to be rewritten every few years…or at least edited.

Most Americans have your back too…it’s just our messed up voting and education systems that let the lunatic fringe gain all the power. For a representative democracy, it really doesn’t represent the people.

I wasn’t calling you out or anything, but yeah, culture changes, what people are used to changes. Also, people have always moved to the path of least resistance through history…hell we don’t use metric in the US because the easier metric system was too hard for boomers and change is frightening.

That is a disconnect the Linux community has. A complete lack of understanding of how little everyday, well known, base terminology is understood by newbies asking questions. They want to help, but are very bad at it until the asked has a certain level of understanding, and people don’t want to make it over that hump without help. It has always been a roadblock into onboarding more Linux users, and a wall many bounce off of.

Yeah, this one gets me, but you are exactly right with “years of experience”. Something goes wrong on my GFs MacBook or Windows PC and she just googles fixes, something goes wrong on her Steamdeck and she hands it to me “I don’t know how to get around the desktop mode”…GOOGLE IT, LEARN, YOU ARENT STUPID! sigh

It’s simpler that all that. Turn on new computer, open browser, install steam, install games, play games. Anything more complex than that makes it unusable. People have zero time to deal with even a slight hiccup. It is annoying to watch as people are getting into steamOS on Steamdeck and every little thing is the end of the world. I have seen “oh, to get that one to run smooth you gotta set the FPS locked to 30” met with “nah, I ain’t got time for all that, I’ll play it on the Xbox”.

I don’t know what the fix is, outside cloning windows GUI and making an ultra safe and familiar entry Linux (the replies will be various lists of “just use x,y,z” and “get this one and technobabble the dilithium crystals into the frondulator” and that just pushes people away instantly…there has to be a tiktok-dumb entry level OS before any real migration happens.

I would never claim involved conservatives are capable of learning.

Do not underestimate how little the VERY VAST majority of people know about government or politics. I recently explained blue/red, left/right, lib/con, progressive/regressive are all related and blew someone’s mind. Then they asked “which ones are the bad ones” and I said “that is subjective and it depends on your views”. After very little explanation, they were socially liberal but fairly conservative fiscally (keep in mind, this was a disconnected completely normal person just going from day to day). It is hard to imagine, with the news and all, people not knowing the basics, but that really is the default. They often only know what they have been told growing up and nothing else.

NGL, I am for a future where we survived this and calling someone trump is the modern equal or replacement for Hitler. We already are echoing Rome.

Ok, I don’t support these clowns, and I hate that this is the way the public is finding out, but isn’t it nice that people are starting to truly see how incapable, incompetent, and corrupt our elected leaders have always been?

I gotta dust that boxed set off and watch it again.

A small % are trained to, and actually do, kill. Which isn’t the point of the comment anyway (except your comment proving the point being made). Also, your last line is incorrect.

Nope

“I can’t believe someone would be so stupid as to fall for trump”

“Everyone who works in a factory is dumb and lazy and should be doing something better”

Wonder why he got elected.

That isn’t how quotation works. Reading comprehension failed you on the second point.

I very much can believe people are stupid enough to fall for trump’s scams. Our education system is in shambles. For example, imagine an adult that doesn’t understand quotations.

As for the second “quotation”, I said nothing about “Everyone who works in a factory”. I could have also included some positive examples, as those parallels exist as well. I assumed that was incredibly obvious to the point of not having to be stated outright, and would be excess verbage that didn’t directly communicate my point. My comment was more of an indictment of SOME soldiers. People ignorantly put them all up on pedestals, but if you look around your workplace, you are going to see a few of those shitty people, you get the same among the enlisted. It isn’t “everyone” by any stretch, just like in a factory. They should be judged by their merits and qualities not their job title. Some, maybe even a lot, do earn it, but not all and not by default. Idolatry isn’t healthy, look at those maga fools for an example why.

To your last point; again, imagine an adult that can’t parse information, makes only negative assumptions, doesn’t know how to use quotations. That level of ignorance, persecution fetishism, and lack of critical thinking is a product of a poor education system and the poorly educated and fact-inoculated is how we have so many trump supporters.

Hope that helps clear things up. Have a great day.

People don’t understand soldiers. You get discipline, confidence, structure, and community, but it is just a job done by normal people. I know door kickers that are just chill normal folks and one that refuses to own a gun. I know a Ranger that worked against governments and trained people to rise up against their oppressors, that fell for trump (and I miss that dude a lot, he is genuinely a good guy and was a hero of mine until he went MAGA…he fell for the deception and I couldn’t pull him out. I get real bad “left a man behind” in the pit of my stomach when I bring him up…fuck.). I know an MP woman, that was in and active for 10 years, that is an adorable little goth chick that works at the local hippy co-op store.

If you work around people, especially a factory or blue collar job, look around, those are soldiers. Dumb ones, lazy ones, ones that should be doing something great but aren’t. it is a little less equivalent when it comes to combat roles, but you still have a spread, it isn’t like the fantasy portrays.

Get better racking.

As long as it doesn’t share the same trash mods from reddit, sure!

That’s a lot of not making a point. The girl in the OP is still worried about walking at night and the most common threat to a woman in that situation is still men. You didn’t counterpoint any of that, so it is just you shouting into the wind about stuff no one is talking about. Cool.

Yup, and as a guy, I am not going home with two women that approach me in a bar after I flash some cash. Know your attackers and keep safe from them.

Edit: wow people misread that. I agree with OP.
