I’m often a dick. I probably wouldn’t say anything immediately, and then use that asinine opinion to dismiss anything else the person says later. Forever. They say something about <whatever topic>, “Yeah, but you also think vaccines kill people, so we already know you are an idiot.” Just on repeat on every opinion they voice, until they never want to say anything around me or talk to me.
“There weren’t any campaigns that had failed after they had achieved 3.5% participation during a peak event,” says Chenoweth – a phenomenon she has called the “3.5% rule”.
Me scatching my head thinking,“10% of Hong Kong protested and still got stomped by China’s boot.” I suppose it could be argued that it’s not the same thing.
Exactly my thought. I had a next door neighbor develop schizophrenia, accuse my roommate and I of talking to him through the electrical sockets, and eventually attack us outside our door. He was taken away.
At least 77 million at last count.
Skin is just a lazy way of seeing “the other”. If we all, worldwide, collectively fucked our way to a uniform pigment, we would just find another way to define “the other”.
The link gives some arguments. It’s mostly stupid right wing claptrap.
Opponents of ranked-choice voting argue that it benefits voters with more time and information, leads to decreased voter confidence in elections, and disconnects voting from important issues and debates. Opponents of ranked-choice voting also argue that RCV winners do not necessarily represent the will of the voters.
It goes on to giving statements for those reasons from such respectable organizations as The Heritage Foundation, so do what you want with that.
That is so stupid when Hillary is right there to run! It’s her turn!
Sleep test -> C(or V)PAP machine. I snored horribly before getting diagnosed with sleep apnea and using a CPAP, although especially annoying for a week or so, made a world of difference.
Dude just could have said something like,“Hey, I’m a developer of Plex and have really enjoyed my experience using it. Let me know if you’d like to see something added/fixed.”
I worked as a network administrator years ago. Unix mostly with a Cytrix server for windows crap. A guy I worked (This was 25 years ago), said something along the lines of,“When I deal with Windows all day, I go home just burnt out. I don’t want to get on a computer, talk to anyone, or even watch TV, I just feel done. When I’m doing Unix shit all day, I’m just tired.”
Haha, they are increasing military spending. Showing that reducing the deficit is not the goal at all. They were towing the plane around the flight deck and had some mistake, the tow truck thingy went off the bridge, taking the plane with it. Seems like a design flaw somewhere. Not a big ding to the military, that’s like 0.25% of the available super hornets. Sure is a dumb way to throw a few tens of millions of dollars away, but growing up around the military, I’ve known for decades that the military are great at throwing money out the window.
Oh man. A friend of mine from back when I was at University (30+ years ago) thought it would be a great idea to have a weed planting day. Everyone goes out to any public area that gets enough water through rain or watering, and just plants weed everywhere. I still think it would be funny to pull off.
Looks like a little over a month until the odometer flips over.
My mom’s uncle, white Norwegian, was put in a Nazi camp during WWII. History lesson.
Living in the US, I think a large part of why we can’t seem to agree on anything politically is because we’re using separate definitions depending on which perspective it’s from. It makes conversations impossible.
Your filter list is very similar to mine. Makes a hell of a positive change.
I feel like I’m reading a season opener for Letterkenny.
I’m watching this going from this is freaking hilarious --> this is freaking ugly as fuck --> fuck this world as my thinking went deeper.
The app may be windows only, but it can often help to ask for alternative. And not things like “What can I use in Linux that is the same as <app> under Windows”. More along the lines of “I need to create or do <x>. In Windoze I used <app>, how do I get the same work done under Linux”. Sometimes you don’t have much of a choice, go emulation layer or VM, but often you can find a different path to the same result and once you get used to it, it’s a better solution.
I heard a similar news report on PBS a couple weeks ago. Aside from the obvious, and already mentioned, don’t have kids. Both for the environment, and to not put your kids through the coming bullshit.
