It’s not often that the most privacy conscious choice is also the most reliable, easy to use, and flexible option for something, but Home Assistant checks all the boxes.

On a completely different subject, have you seen those dragon drones being used in Ukraine? Just a cheap drone and a little thermite does soo much damage it’s insane.

Those aren’t mutually exclusive.

It’s the next chapter, but it’s always been where the story was going. The oligarchy has been running things since at least Reagan. Now the mask is off. Now it’s reaching the suburbs. You think being under the thumb of the rich and powerful is a new experience in America? Check your privilege.

$5000.00 will buy me a lot of ketchup…

…or a dozen eggs.

It always has been.

That’s the only reason I’ve ever done much of anything in shell script. As a network administrator I’ve worked many network appliances running on some flavor of Unix and the one language I can count on to be always available is bash. It has been well worth knowing for just that reason.

It didn’t help my kids growing up to have Trump in the Whitehouse either.

That door can be made to swing both ways.

Anyone can be a pedophile, regardless of other characteristics. The major champions of actual sexual abuse of minors today are politically right wing. Compare age-of-consent laws in red states to blue, or advocacy/performance of child marriages, and a pattern appears.

The conflation of evidence-based methods of sexual education with “sexualizing children” is a bald faced attempt to make kids more vulnerable. Kids trained in the importance of consent are far less likely to keep quiet when dealing with an abuser.

I would not concede, as you have here, that there was ever any appreciable link between trans advocacy and sexual abuse advocacy. The fact that some people somewhere advocated for both is true of any movement of sufficient size.

If you can’t organize a political movement, you definitely can’t organize a revolution. Also, if history is a guide, the people with wealth tend to end up in power after a revolution.

Run for office, or find someone worthy and get behind their run. Don’t worry about Republicans for now,vee have to defeat the Democratic establishment before we will have the ability to fight Republicans.

The word fascism is rarely overused, people just don’t understand that fascism is the most common political ideology in the western world. People think that fascism only applies to jack booted thugs and concentration camps when it is really just banal bigotry and arrogant incompetence.

That’s not a new war. It’s the war behind all the other wars.

Jury nullification.

Just read the whole thread again. No guilt trips, or anything that could be interpreted as guilt trips. Nothing even close really. Persecution complex much?

If you say so. My strategy has gotten a hell of a lot closer to hurting the establishment than any of yours though.

Did you see me guilt trip anyone? I’m just mocking your unbelievably self-unaware rant attacking people who did vote for a candidate that had a chance. I don’t do guilt trips, but stupid is as stupid does.
