WTF is with the asinine left/right meter at the bottom of the article?

What you wrote is gone. From what I remember of it, if that’s what you were trying to say, you needed to word it better. To be generous.

What are these “sides” comprised of in your mind? Who specifically are you accusing of being a “terrorist”? In Palestine - the entire population? The ruling political party “Hamas”? The militarized subset of it, the “Al Qassam brigades?” Or only the specific members thereof who engaged in war crimes at any point - the few of that group who are still alive? What definition of “terrorism” are you using - the “using violence to influence political opinions” which characterizes every government that’s ever engaged in war? The Palestinian people have had their country stolen and have been corralled off from the surrounding world by a military occupier in the tiny subset of it that remains - they have a legal right to self-defense, and the very existence of “Israel” as a state has come at the cost of the absolute violation of their sovereignty and human rights, solely to impose the imaginary, invented sovereignty of an immigrating colonizing population, that was hoisted on them against their will by another colonizer (the British). Using the word “terrorist” used in this context is insane. It seems to hinge on the relationship of Hamas with Islamism, which isn’t even absolute, because it’s a pluralist, “big tent” party. Beyond there, what, it’s based on them having darker skin or being Muslim, which is what that word evokes for the more brainwashed Americans anyway. Rather, armed resistance in their case - as much as we’d all like to avoid violence of any kind - is legally sanctioned self-defense against a militarily aggressive entity, who has their territory and people under military occupation.

You need to educate yourself more on this topic and clarify your thinking.

Fuck the TSA and everyone that works there though, abolish the TSA.

…the candidate the population votes for. Did you need that to say “who”?

Man, Corel Linux looks like a vibe. The box looks familiar but don’t think I ever used it.

Guy’s dead, no evidence either way, so asserting that’s wrong is about as baseless as asserting it’s right. Things like that are far from unheard of.

At the same time, “what the population votes for is what the population gets” ignores that we are often only presented with crappy options to start with.

It does not ignore that, rather it explicitly takes that into account.

The caveat to my statement would ONLY be “so long as we’re using this system.”

Please focus more on accurate logic.

80 million Dem voters (depicted as “crowd of NPCs” meme): “We are voting for Democrats in the near term because there is no other option”

The hard fact is that what the population votes for is what the population gets. They have completely given up their agency and just accept this impotent logic of “we’ll take whatever the most obvious/most apparently easy option is, that isn’t a Republican”. It’s a cyclical problem, the voters don’t care enough to force politicians to be good, and the politicians don’t care enough to court voters.

A lot less than Americans think. Going from memory it’s about 6-8% of calories.

Not really “appeasement” of course, more “capitulation” - by all indications he’s a plant.

I don’t think this is a well-defined term, so not much point in arguing about its definition.

Cause there’s like six other distros based on it. The point is that a package manager especially is a huge part of what differentiates the general experience of using a distro, and how a derivative distro works. And sure, lots of other details. Something like Manjaro, Artix etc. is basically cut from Arch as a template, often incorporating upstream changes or packages, with downstream changes based on differences of opinion.

“Conveniently?” I’m not making a case against Arch. I’m literally using an Arch derivative. Just not trying to sit here listing every single customization they ever made. Chill the fuck out.

I’ll tell you, nothing bricks as hard or as irreparably as Windows. I have never had to actually reinstall Linux due to some problem (though it’s a good practice security-wise).

A package manager + some packages in the base system maybe, is basically a distro template. And maybe some kernel tweaks, or a built-in DE/WM. Or opinionated init system maybe.

The abyss in the enforcement of international law, and the absence of any conscience, gives rise to the “just one more chip” approach to land seizure. The settlers also largely have an insane sense of entitlement to the land based on their religious mindset.

Doesn’t that work with just a big USB stick? I’ve definitely plopped a Linux HD in a new computer and had it work with almost no changes (fstab and maybe adding graphics card support).
