14. Slackware from like 40 3.5 floppy disks.

My cat of twelve years died on my birthday. He had been sick with Triaditis for about 6 weeks and I had to feed him through a tube 3 times a day. Each time would take about an hour and a half.

He was getting better, too. Putting on weight, and ate his own meals for 5 days. But the E-tube got infected and so we took it out 2 days early.

He got home. He vomited. He stopped eating for two days. He started vomiting and acted in pain and so I took him in again. They discovered fluid in his abdomen. He was too skinny from his digestion issues for a further hospitalization and he was in pain.

He slept each night in my armpit with his head on my shoulder.

I worked from home before the pandemic, and so I was with him almost all of the time for his life. I loved his tiny 6 lb ass.

He was a bathroom communist. It could be 3 a.m. and I could check that he was asleep, and when I looked up from sitting on the toilet, the door would be slightly ajar and he’d be in front of me watching the door.

I miss you, little dude.

No CIA member is ever liberal.

So most countries should kick out Israel supporters? That beeper attack was a state sponsored terrorist attack.

Wow.

You’re just straight up insane, living in your own delusional fantasy. Have fun with that.

Gee… I guess the ongoing genocide the Democratic party is complicit in committing had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Nor the undemocratic primary selection of a geriatric without the ability to even debate that the the DNC knew was going senile back in '21 per their own leaked internal reports.

Nor was it the undemocratic selection of the person that ran a campaign around getting the support of fucking Dick Cheney, and said she didn’t disagree with a single policy decision of the afore mentioned senile old man.

No. It was the economy. The economy that was good as the entire DNC tried to continuously tell us, going so far as to call it the Biden recovery.

And the DNC has no responsibility for the economy. They certainly didn’t end every single very popular Covid era program and raise the interest rates so quickly, even though most of the inflation was provably mostly (more then 50%) from collusion of companies raising their prices. They even bragged about it during shareholder calls.

Your comment is so pathetically uninformed it is ludicrous.

You aren’t a responsible citizen, as you put it. A responsible citizen should be informed of current events to help them make the decision on who to vote for.

Go pedal your ignorant defense of the people that handed the election to Trump somewhere else.

No. It’s the campaign consultants that drove a failed strategy based on tacking to the right, and people like you that try to protect those consultants jobs by shaming others.

Saying politicians have to earn votes is not a moral statement in the same way that saying the sun rises in the east isn’t.

It is a statement of fact about the game board that politicians play on. Complaining about that is useless for actually winning. It just serves to protect those that failed you. ie the DNC’s campaign team.

EDIT: What does your view give you? A brief moment of self-righteous joy, with no improved chances of winning. You think trying to shame people you want something from will get them to give it to?

Or do you think treating the people you require something from as a power bloc that has concessions made to it is more likely to get you what you want?

Is an opinion held by people who want to lose an election, and would rather lose than have to entertain a single bit of constructive criticism.

Thanks for Trump. You should be ashamed of having such a short term viewpoint that got us Trump.

‘Logic’ like you just posted is what gave us Trump.

A political parties job is to win elections.

If you know a significant percentage of the population thinks like the person you responded to, and you don’t do anything to win their votes, then you are intentionally trying to lose as effectively as if you worked for the Trump campaign.

It gave us Trump twice, after all.

You know what didn’t? Promising people shit.

Okay, troll.

You have answered no questions, and made no statements that can be falsified.

Just insulted and took no position that could be shown wrong.

You’re just a troll, and a lazy one at that.

Who supported the Khmer Rouge?

Who ended up fighting and ending the genocide?

Who denied a genocide happened until the 80’s, and continued funding the Khmer Rouge until the late 90’s?

These are all simple questions with simple, factual answers. You just don’t like the picture the answers paint, and want to justify the intentional outcome of Kissinger’s designs and blame the outcome on the victims.

It sickens me to see people like the person I was replying to and yourself try and blame the people who were genocided for their genocide and to blame it on a economic ideology that had very little to do with the outcome.

…

Did you really blame a movement that basically existed for twenty years after relevance through US (and Chinese, interestingly enough) machinations and support, and was actually ousted by the communist Vietnamese, on a ‘kill the oppressors’ view?

Jesus, capitalists will say and do everything to blame the consequences of their actions on everyone else.

I use posteo.

If you’re thinking of using your own domain, I would suggest using forwardemail.net

I think you meant xmpp

They weren’t.

Google runs it’s own scans against domains.

Yes.

I made the mistake of naming my emby instance https://emby.example.com

On emby, if you don’t have a session cookie, it opens on an authentication page.

I’ve had Google label it as a mitm attack and get labeled malware three times. It gets fixed in a day or two upon review, but all major browsers block it during that time.

That’s a lot of words to state absolutely stereotypical defenses used by apartheid countries.

Let me guess, you think Israel is in an existential fight against barbarism, like the peoples of Rhodesia and South Africa did, right?

According to Israel, those terror words mean the same thing.

Kind of like how they had the gall to use the phrase ‘deescalation through escalation’

When they don’t self report the ones that are bad, they become bad.

How is that concept difficult for you?

Given your posts, I’m thinking you are a cop. This post certainly shows the absolute utter lack of imagination and empathy that cops have.

You should have become a fire fighter if you wanted people to admire your self sacrifice.
