That was such a wild time with a new scandal or two every morning. I don’t blame anyone for forgetting.

I hope to God I don’t ever have to explain to my son or daughter how Trump got elected a second time.

He withheld aid from the president of Puerto Rico. Which… Was him.

To attack a narcissist, you need to attack the cracks in the reality they paint for themselves.

It just so happens that as someone who has been an enthusiastic and professional grade debater for 40+ years, Harris also knew exactly how to do this without getting his mud on herself, and she knew to do it just as he was hoping to hit his stride.

It was great to watch. So many politicians from so many walks of life have been completely humiliated by Trump’s ridiculous persona. He’s so inflammatory, so full of lies, and so narcissistic professional politicians have been reduced to flinging his poo back at him. Instead Harris made him wallow in it.

See if it’s supported by Lineage OS.

Real talk though: why would he ever rule out future possibilities?

If you think Jill Stein represents any sort of real leftist ideology, I have a number of bridges to offer you.

Amen.

“…wants his platforms to be “neutral” in politics, and that he regrets removing or downplaying some content, including COVID disinformation”

To quote a great man: “Reality has a well known liberal bias.”

Yes. The electoral college is nearly unwinnable with Texas, NY, and California stacked against you. The GOP would have to actually run on policies that people want, so…

The answer, as always with extremism, comes back to indoctrination, disenfranchisement, and finally, radicalization.

There have been tons of studies in this, but at a high level, men are indoctrinated by constantly being put under a lens of toxic masculinity by their peer groups and male role models.

Then they become disenfranchised from “mainstream” ideals, not hard to do with the mental health crisis and wealth disparity we see in the world every day. Or the simpler method of being raised in a small community (a church or small town) where such progressive ideas are frowned upon and demonized.

And finally, they search for meaning and inclusion in an ‘in group’. This is natural human behavior, and is preyed upon by a laundry list of bad actors who are all too happy to offer answers, meaning, and most of all, some nebulous group to blame and attack for your problems. This step in particular has become easier and easier for more extreme groups with the advent of the internet.

It’s a vicious cycle. And that’s not to say the victims here are blameless, because of course they made their choices along the way, but they are indeed victims.

I guess it depends on scale.

I saw the bastard press the spatula down on burgers he was grilling.

Than they should have A) not fucked up the ruling in the first place and B) had a timer going and pointed to it and said “sorry, not going to review, your challenge time is up”.

100% they fucked up. That’s not either gymnast’s fault.

Anybody who asks this seriously, point them at the Minnesota state budget. Walz pulled Minnesota out of a deficit and into a serious surplus.

I think it’s very telling that through his tenure in office here in Minnesota, the local QGOP’s best attack against him is that he spends money (on good things) and his tax policy produced a surplus (because he fixed the deficit).

He is a vet, a devoted family man, and an avid fisherman and hunter.

He’s exactly what they fear most. A blue collar progressive.

So he’s not unassailable. You can attack his policies. But the problem is, they’re fairly popular and have made Minnesota safer and more prosperous than all our red and purple neighbors.

I will add that the local media in MN has cast Minneapolis/STPL downtowns as a horrifying, unsafe, ruinous hellscape following the riots that followed the murder of George Floyd. This has in the last year or so become less impactful as rural folk have started coming to the city again for sports games, etc. But that is another attack vector I’ve seen them get some mileage out of.

+1 for Gitlab. As the number of developers increases the features of Gitlab will get more and more important. Only OP can say, but if they’re closer to 9 developers than 2, I think it’s a safe bet they’ll need the extra features sooner rather than later.

So release the official counts and let people compare their voting slips? Don’t arrest your opposition?

If it quacks like a dictatorship and stinks like a dictatorship…

Because the official evidence is held by the incumbent government. The evidence we do have access to, from extensive exit polls by neutral auditors to the mandated voting station slips (small pieces of paper that each voter is issued giving them the electronic count so far at that station) both track a 60 - 70% lead for the opposition.

In response, instead of releasing the official report, the incumbent government has brutally crushed several protests (even killing protestors), arrested the opposition, and claimed victory. Not exactly the pattern of behavior of an innocent victor.

No… Let’s be extremely clear. This is a dyed-in-the-wool conservative. A real conservative, not one of these corpo-christo-fascistic assholes wearing conservative skin-suits now.

These are the people we’re supposed to be working with. They slow down progress a little bit to let the ideas fully bake. They moderate cultural change ensuring society keeps an eye on history and doesn’t completely leave behind the elderly and rural. They have a valuable place in our government and our society.

These days in America they have largely gotten lumped into the “moderates”, “undecided”, “centrists”, and “fence sitters”, while actual fucking fascism entrenches itself deeper and deeper into our government.

Democrats need to be forming coalitions with them and offering them a party at the table separate from fascist MAGA, but also separate from Democrats. They’ll pull voters away from MAGA and undecided, costing Democrats very little but emptying the floor from under the modern GOP.

Its dangerous to send goalposts flying around that fast, be careful or you’ll hurt yourself.

Your response is condescending, arguing from ignorance, and arguing in bad faith. I will reply this time, because once again you’re trying to build an argument on extremely shaky ground and I don’t enjoy people spreading ignorance unchallenged. However I won’t engage any further and feed whatever you think you’re getting from this.

I haven’t suggested that people should use Obsidian over OSS solutions. I was simply pointing out your argument against Obsidian’s architecture was poorly founded.

The data you’re insinuating will be lost is pure FUD. While the format isn’t standard markdown, none of the well implemented solutions are, because as you so rightly pointed out, markdown has little to no support for most of these features.

However, obsidian’s format is well documented and well understood. There are dozens of FOSS plugins and tools for converting or directly importing obsidian data to nearly every other solution. Due to obsidian’s popularity, it’s interoperability this way is often far superior to FOSS solutions’.
