I mean, sure but Dems only really have a chance because Republicans continue to run the shuttiest candidates imaginable. That is absolutely true

Like, Obama won partly because McCain chose to run with Palin. It’s not the only reason he won, but it’s silly to think it wasn’t a major factor - especially considering everything we know about white American voters, that’s been made just as clear as it ever could be. I bet it was a tough decision for some/many Americans

I’ve always wished I could feel like the choice in a general election was a hard decision, but alas I’m working class and brown (and believe in science)

That sounds really rough. I’ve been smoking, used to dab for a while, daily for like 15+ years and I haven’t felt that paranoid feeling since high school. I do struggle with munchies but my eyes never get red anymore so that’s a plus. I think you probably need some therapy (but I think everyone does). It could be related to anxiety - I definitely have issues with some of that. You also can’t force things. You’re emotions are trying to tell you something and you have to try and listen. In my experience, emotions are very tough to sort out when I’m high - still working on that

It’s worth keeping in mind most people online will usually not have similar experiences to a daily smoker/user. I’ve noticed most people in trees subs have tried weed once or twice, and have typically not smoked daily/regularly. That means their tolerance is typically never impacted. You can still totally take their advice but I’ve always felt it doesn’t apply as much to me or any daily stoner/heavy user I’ve ever known

Hey now, maybe their entire family consists of nerds and trans chicks

Sorry but what the hell is xorg? Is that another place like 4chan or something

Fair enough. I still wish I could just accept the risk and click a button that forfeits my use of Microsoft support or something

I could totally get on board with that.

I’ll definitely do it once I work up the energy… or more likely Microsoft forces me to move. lol

I thought you were gonna make a joke about linux users having to fix some random issue that popped up on linux

Idk… it’s been a while since I used it and I always had issues that took hours to troubleshoot. lol

You just helped me realize all the people that make a big deal out of getting monthly “security” updates for their phones are probably just dumb teenagers!

I hate mandatory updates with a fiery passion

Glad it wasn’t too bad for you/y’all.

Unfortunately, I wiped my computer Thursday night before our company mentioned anything. lol. I ended up finding out about the issue on Lemmy/Reddit. My company didn’t send anything out until this morning - which I still find insane, my laptop crashed and started looping around 7p (took them like 12 hours).

My laptop just rebooted while I was working so I assumed some program I’d installed caused it (explorerpatcher). I tried everything, safe mode, system restore, uninstall updates. I figured the only option left was to reinstall windows. Done it plenty of times on my personal PC

Oh well, lesson learned. Shit’s totally fucked now. It won’t even connect to the Internet. lol. Definitely a Monday problem though

Good thing back in the day there were probably very few cult leaders…

Does anyone wonder about how the story of Jesus being plagiarized from the Egyptian myth of Horus affects the narrative about the Jesus that supposedly lived and died a century earlier? You know the one that happened to have incredibly important political value for the established leaders of the time?

No? Me either. Praise Horus!

I absolutely hate that. What’s wrong with just entering a key? They act like it’s difficult or they’re doing something truly impressive when it’s obvious they’re getting way more out of users having an account

Would something like that only apply to store-bought PCs? Or could they somehow lock a motherboard you bought separately? Sorry, no idea how bootloaders work, despite unlocking em plenty of times on Android phones in the past

One difference is there was already value with having a gmail account. What’s the point of getting a Microsoft account? The only thing I can see is it makes settings set up/transfer easy between PCs and for reinstalls.

Except, if I’m reinstalling, I can’t imagine waiting to copy settings since one of those settings is probably causing a problem and I don’t want it to be automatically set for me. I also don’t use the Microsoft store so…

Does anyone else actually get value from their Microsoft account? If not, It just feels like it’s only purpose is giving them (more) access to your computer. Why would anyone want that?

Fair enough. Stay angry, buddy. Happy learning

I don’t think anyone called you a nazi; you’re assuming that.

You need to work on your ability to communicate effectively with others. I don’t think you yourself would react positively/the way you wish others would, if someone spoke/wrote to you that way. Literally no one owes you anything - even a response. A response from someone more knowledgeable than ourselves, especially on this platform, is generous and something to appreciate. If you’re ok with responses from people that don’t care about things like being respectful, carry on and ignore everything I said

Well fuckin’ teach me then!!

Lol. Seriously though, why do you feel so aggressively entitled to have others educate you? You’re clearly ignorant of the answers you’re looking for but you’re disrespecting others for your lack of knowledge. Idk, just something I noticed - your cross and whatnot

It doesn’t have to mean anything! It gets the people going

I just listened to this, it’s actually a bit before your timestamp, but based on the context of the conversation there having, it seems like they’re talking about actually seeing the dead Palestinian kids. When she says “them” it seems to me like she’s saying we’ve now actually seen decapitated kids, whereas as before we only had hearsay

Sure but the house was clearly divided. That’s data that conflicts with your main premise, no?

Does this recent vote affect your opinion at all?
