“Ωmega Mart - You have no idea what’s in-store for you!”

spudwart,

This feels like a Samsung Advertisement.

spudwart,

For a split second I thought this was in the US.

And honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone told me this is already Law in the US.

spudwart,

If only Jafar had trained a bit more. He may have been to strong for the dragon to kill him.

Also, depending on the era. Shen-long will grant 1, 2 or 3 wishes.

Gameboy is an Aesthetic.

IMO - Racial/Ethnic/National Coding isn’t inherently wrong. But using that coding to push Stereotypes and oppressive mindsets is.

Rule of thumb, if you’re worried you will in some way cross that line, don’t do coding.

He and the GOP have been shouting their intention to go full dictatorship for months now.

It’s not sensationalized if its from the horse’s mouth.

spudwart,

Roe v Wade is gone & Abortion Laws are in full swing.

Net Neutrality was killed.

Trump made an attempt at building the border fence, which he claims was because the wall was more of a security issue than a fence they could ‘look’ through.

Trump attempted a Coup.

Trump is not your wishy-washy, wealth-hording politician of yore. He is a power-grabbing fascist with literally no filter. He tries to keep quiet, but he’ll say the quiet parts out loud.

If he had managed to maintain his office, he was basically inches away from gutting public education.

And this was what he was doing to be ‘reserved’. He told his audience to ‘wait’ until he ‘won’ reelection at the end of 2020 in regards to ‘dealing with fauci’. Which implies there are other things he was waiting to do until he had secured his final term.

The only reason his insanity didn’t happen all at once, was because of the initial whiplash between the old mask-on GOP and the new mask-off GOP. They lost out in the latter half of his presidency when the democrats took back the house.

if Trump was certain he could have instated his dictatorship in his first term, he would have done it. The new GOP is not like the 90s GOP. There are certainly those who feign ignorance and dissidence, but when push comes to shove, they tow the line.

Why would so many states have abortion laws ready to go? Why would so many states have complied in the attempt from Trump to steal the election?

If you think the GOP is bluffing, you are not paying attention.

spudwart,

Honestly. This is a social network platform. Assume all you post and share is being collected via web crawlers and data brokers pulling from the api.

spudwart,

They mean programmers that will work for $7.25/hr.

spudwart,

You’re joking, but give it a few months to a year.

This will be a republican talking point for doing away with public schools.

spudwart,

I swear reality forked in 2020 and this is the bad ending timeline.

Your options:

  • Genocide overseas & decent domestic policies
  • Genocide overseas & Genocide domestically
spudwart,

This is not a winnable situation. This is a two party system with a lesser of two evils option.

But we cannot consistently remain on the edge forever. If we pass over that line. And we have trump next year, it will be our last election.

We’ll either have a civil war and finally revise the system or end up like Russia.

Alternatively we can stay on the edge a little longer and build up a different strategy. Maybe A third party that only runs non-president candidates nationwide. Running in off elections and non-presidential yearsto gain seats and national trust. Maybe reforming local laws to make PACS less effective to avoid situations like the current one.

It’ll be slow and not ideal, but it’s a better chance at improving things then flipping the switch and having the dictatorship now.

Either way Palestinians die because we don’t get a say in that. And to end off this little rant.

Biden is enabling the genocide because his PACs have his hands tied. Trump would be cheering on the genocide because his PACS and his base would support him for it.

spudwart,

Theres the Fascist who will keep the veil of democracy on and avoid total outright Fascism or the Fascist who will burn democracy to the ground and have outright Fascism.

Voting for anyone else is at best throwing your vote in the garbage and at worst voting for the greater of two evils.

This was never an issue of “Voting for the good guy” that hasn’t been an option for as long as I have been alive. This is an issue of biding time to build up a strong enough third party, and we don’t even have a strong enough third party to have a presence in congress or the senate

spudwart,

But there have been active courses of action.

The Presidency is one person, with increasingly too much power.

Unions have been exploding in popularity, various local elections have been swinging farther left than the standard democrat playbook.

The people are not voting democrat because they are content with them, they’re voting democrat because there is not another viable option.

It needs to start local and grow. We need a proper left-wing party, if we can ever get organized enough to do such a thing rather than relying on what already exists.

And as I said, I think the best course of action is a measured approach. Local Elections, Off-year elections and non-presidential elections. Grow in numbers, gain public confidence and start snowballing.

The reason why third parties are progressively weakening is because of a lack of faith, and third party’s consistent decimation in the presidential is a big part of it.

Its counter intuitive, but voting third-party hurts third parties in the long run if you focus on them primarily during presidential elections.

I’m not the standard “Oh the third party will never win type.” I’m actively against trying to run before we can walk.

Confidence is a big deal in elections. It’s more obvious in Primaries. If people see a candidate they like in the Primaries, but they don’t think they can win against the opposition candidate, they will not vote for the candidate they like. They will vote for the candidate that they have the most confidence in even if they don’t like that candidate.

We need to start a from the ground up political party that’s entire focus is to stay out of the view of presidential elections, We need to start focusing on bringing Ranked Choice Voting to as many locations as possible. And it will be a long process. But it’s far better than repeatedly doing the same thing every election cycle.

We always have the situation of 99% evil vs 100% evil both with a roughly 50/50 chance of winning and a selection of third party candidates who are decent but have 0 chance of winning.

Third party candidate loses, 99% or 100% evil wins. Third Party yet again becomes less relevant and less considered. Repeat. This cycle can only end if we stop focusing on the obvious losing strategy.

If you can own nothing, then nothing is theft.

If you don’t treat people as people because of a disability, you have both violated the social contract.

spudwart,

Okay but are we gonna ignore the obvious and lazy AI generated article image?

Someone typed in “Intel Arc GPU Driver” and got a literal truck with a second crate on stilts.

I guess it took some effort to edit the proper labels and iconography on.

spudwart,

Nah, you don’t understand.

Your cat kills a dragon and drops it at your doorstep.

The treat isn’t a request.

It’s a demand. And the dragon is a warning.

spudwart,

I haven’t played on my farm in a hot moment, maybe I should get back to it.

spudwart,

Arch users speak for themselves.

spudwart,

I think we’re the “left wing morons” that are being referred to here.

spudwart,

A fabric demoistifier.

spudwart,

Indeed it is that time, and they will do it completely unironically and without any self awareness as well.

spudwart,

It just gets slightly larger every time it increments.

spudwart,

Well, I use wasabi to clear my sinuses.

And that feeling is certainly memorable.

spudwart,

Yes technically it’s not real wasabi.

But root beer sold now isn’t technically real root beer.

And most American foods are varying degrees of fake anyway.

In the US, fake foods are often preferred over their authentic originals.

spudwart,

We’re in the “dropping the act” phase of capitalism.

This is just standard monopoly-speak these days.

Typically this is something I hear more commonly within businesses.

Unsurprisingly the business thinks business is the most efficient way to run anything.

Begun, the Holiday Wars have.

spudwart,

The War on Christmas is real.

And I’m tired of pretending we started it.

They struck first. Invading Thanksgiving and New Years. But like all memorable wars they started within their own borders.

Conquering the lesser known holidays in their ranks. As well as the weekends. Then they expanded into November and January. Then into February and October.

The war continued until they had conquered Halloween, Labor Day, and it had gone so far that they had conquered July. “Christmas in July” they said.

11 months of Christmas. They had almost taken it all. Then, just as all hope was lost, just as it been considered a lost cause. They stopped.

Christmas stagnated. For 60 long years we waited.

Enduring losses and louder (and earlier) Christmas carols. Planting their lights and decorations unto our territories. Creating propaganda and even launching pressure campaigns.

Labeled Humbugs, Grinches and worse for daring to stand against Christmas.

But slowly as the songs got older, and the propaganda aged. Fewer and Fewer dared to pressure those who stood against Christmas.

We took our months back. We didn’t even know It, but we had just awoken a sleeping monster.

As we regained July and September, we slowly took back the early months, may, April, march…

We managed to start encompassing the holiday season. That’s when it began. The War on Christmas, or so those on the side of Christmas claim. But we know better.

Happy Holidays.

That’s what we do as cat world police, we make the world a bett-

“Ron stood there with his Ron shirt.”

spudwart,

It’s not terribly expensive or hard to do.

spudwart,

Okay, this is obnoxious and all.

But what the hell is ‘narcing’?

spudwart,

240k/yr !?

shreds CS degree

spudwart,

Huh?

spudwart,

Can we go to the alternate timeline where “Schway” takes off.

spudwart,

A bad standard adds to the pile.

A good standard crushes the pile.

Example: Git and Linux.

Proof: what are the other source management softwares? (Don’t mention Mercurial, that’s cheating).

Also for Linux, it’s down to the license and history. Linux isn’t a bad investment because all commits directly to the kernel are given freely to all. And it’s not Unix. It doesn’t have the stain of AT&T and their sue happy ways. Also Linux dominates all computer markets except for user desktops. Servers, phones, application specific utilities, etc.
