Hey congrats, @A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world! By getting through that hurdle you most certainly are that savvy of a person. Enjoy the after success glow and welcome to the hacker universe.
Trial and error is 90% of life! Thats how you get shit done!
That home loan was fucking worthless to boot. You know what would save Americans money? Directly building homes and selling them at cost.
Wrong plans, they’re referring to the joke ‘50k small business loan with a bajillion strings attached’, ‘a maybe tax hike for the wealthy, but no transfer to middle/lower income’, ‘here are two tax credits half of which only impact parents and together dont break even on inflation’, ‘absolute refusal to commit to keeping khan’, in short dems to working Americans: fuck you, and here’s some genocide on top. Vote for us because we think we’re the only option.
nationalizing industries will kill innovation and improvements and isnt necessary. you just need to structure the system to promote worker cooperatives instead of corporations. you get the best of both worlds.
Keep telling yourself that. You’ve seen the results of your position. Its a losing position. Your inability to self reflect will lead you to continuously repeating the same mistakes as you’ve done here.
You keep saying that, but I voted; just not in the manner you wanted because I don’t support genocides under any circumstances.
again you chose this. you were warned. people told you. no amount of assertions by you will change these facts. when someone tells you what they’re going to do you should believe them.
🤷 my vote was available, 20 million other votes were available, I showed up, I begged you, harris, biden, the dnc, my reps all year to stop a genocide. I warned you. My state went for harris, as I told you it would. but I fucking warned you what was about to happen.
I. Told. You. What. Was. About. To. Happen. you, like an ostrich, buried your head in the sand and sang ‘lalala evil.’ Now you’re lashing out as if you didn’t choose this.
You. Choose. This. The only person you have to blame is yourself and those mentioned above.
Your willingness to support a genocidal candidate above everything CHOOSE THIS.
Your willingness to play holier than thou and demand other people vote for a genocidal candidate CHOOSE THIS.
Your willingness to put corporate well being over american well being well being CHOOSE THIS.
Its okay to admit you made a mistake, say it after me: ‘I did this. me. but next time I will do better’
Yes Draedron, you can. But you’ve already established your genocidal credentials. The rest of us will continue to mop up the mess you, harris/biden, and the dnc made as usual.
Yarp just sitting with my ballot waiting for her to commit. its a shame really. the MIC may result in the end of american democracy.
Unfortunately, elections are a popularity contest, not a morality test. It doesn’t matter what’s right, it matters what enough voters in the right states approve of.
agreed, and shes losing; all I can do is try and help by telling her what will get mine and apparently other votes.
The difference is that your assumptions are based on pure unsupported fantasy, while mine are based on historical evidence.
the past does not predict the future. but it rhymes. and the past shows the democrats run to the right and lose. looks in harris’ direction
thats, like, your opinion man. all your points are around assumptions about how others will act.
I’ve only made a single claim on how others will act and it was a group that literally said ‘stop the arm shipments to gaza’ and there are 100k of them in an important swing state.
Sure, hold your nose, and when Trump wins you can snuggle say you didn’t directly vote for him, it’s not your fault LGBT people are getting carted off to camps, it’s not your fault women are legally considered breeding stock, it’s not your fault Palestine is a sheet of glass, it’s not your fault we pulled aid from Ukraine and sent it to Israel. Harris should have done more to seduce you into supporting human rights, it’s her fault you helped the greater evil.
correct. you see its a popularity contest, and apparently shes not winning and doesn’t know how to. a shame really. if only the DNC ran a real primary when faced with a historically disliked administration. well you lose some, you win some. but it is a shame and its a shame you wouldn’t put in the effort for all those groups you’re trying to place on my plate. my vote is here for the taking. its a shame she couldn’t check a single box on my list. I hope she pulls it off but for some reason it seems like she wont.
Harris should have done more to seduce you into supporting human rights, it’s her fault you helped the greater evil.
its funny you think your giant list of minority groups who actually have rights and trump wont be able to take them away by himself is more important to me than the 40k people already murdered by the biden admin inability to have a spine. its why he lost support (among a plethora of other issues, like union busting) and just slapping harris’ name on the top of the ticket won’t change that outcome. sorry but the deaths are the greater evil.
Israel is an ally.
Yes, we call this ‘enabling’ and its bad. if my friend goes and murders someone in cold blood I don’t go ‘oh well they’re my friend’ I fucking turn them in so they can get the help they clearly need.
She can’t get those easy votes without losing votes from moderate Israel-supporters.
No one is asking her to not protect israel. but fun fact: they’re not moderates if they’re supporting a genocide.
Well then your actions are irrational because they do not help accomplish your goal, despite your fantasies to the contrary.
thats, like, your opinion man. all your points are around assumptions about how others will act. personally I only decide how I can act. and seems like others agree with me and not you since harris can’t find votes.
Eh, she needs enough votes. She doesn’t need yours specifically. If she can’t get yours, she’ll shill to moderates to get theirs, because strategically that’s much smarter than alienating a large, reliable bloc in order to gain a portion of the much smaller, much less reliable bloc you represent.
you actually don’t know that. and neither does she. shes just scared as are you. I’m about as reliable as they come for votes; I show up every year and vote for people who represent me. if there are none, I show up for the ballot initiatives and leave the candidates blank. Its hardly my fault the DNC didn’t run a real primary to find the best candidate this year because we know harris wouldn’t have won.
Done, like a year ago.
samesies, do it again, repeatedly this week. =) they weren’t willing to do shit a year ago because they didn’t need the votes. now is the time to give them permission.
This is pure nonsense. On multiple levels.
yes, pure nonesense.
not my fault harris is floundering for votes. I can’t help that shes committed to a platform that has historically low approval and is unwilling to commit to anything not even a bar as low as ‘not commiting genocide’ shrug.
if she had a solid platform she wouldn’t be floundering. I can’t do anything about that except clearly broadcast my expectations to the democratic party. which i’m doing daily. you are of course free to do nothing. but harris needs votes to win and I’m letting her know how to get mine. balls in her court.
heres my fence, lets see if she can get over it!
My conscience won’t allow me to sit aside while the fascist party wins
well clearly it will and so does harris’ since shes unwilling to commit to not enabling a genocide. pretty low bar shes failing to step over to get some easy votes. no one has said she isn’t allowed to defend israel if they’re attacked. shes just needs to commit to enforcing the law on the books about supplying arms to countries commiting genocide.
And you’re correct no one can compel me to vote rationally. the funny thing about acting rationally is that the definition of rationality is that it depends on the goal. My goal is to get harris to commit to upholding our laws on not selling to genocidal maniacs like bibi. Harris needs my vote (and others) to do so. just like she needs my vote to protect all those groups you mentioned, which if she was committing to a policy that endangered them I’d do the same thing.
first they came for the palestinians, but I was not a palestinian so I didn’t speak out… seem familiar?
so email your critters let them know you support a embargo on israel and that you want harris to make a commitment in the next week and if she does you have my vote and likely 40K minimum more in a swing state. worry about the zionists another day they’ll be fine. all you need to do is give harris permission. go forth and do so, repeatedly daily for the next week.
have you done the leg work of letting your congress critters know you don’t support biden or harris on israel and that we need to implement an arms embargo? if not gtfo. until then I will continue to advocate people vote with their conscience. because I have done the work. biden/harris are blinking we need to push harder before the end of the month. I’m literally sitting here with my ballot waiting for harris to make an announcement prior to voting.
Because its the same shit. passkeys are essentially passwordless ssh certificates. we’ve had functional MFA for ssh literally since its inception.
na you just dont know how to relax and have a good time in an environment you don’t enjoy. clearly trump does. the guy is a danger to the country but this isn’t a thing we need to waste our time on, just makes you look like a incredibly maladjusted person.
The dude sucks at dancing like most maladjusted white men. i dont see an issue here out side of his rampant racism and fascism. we can do better.
Honestly? I’d be more likely to attend a political rally if they had more dancing and less pomp.
he was probably just on shrooms/molly or something similar. the guy is a menace but seriously? knocking a person for vibing out to music because they’re sick of the campaign trail? honestly i wish he just did that all the time and left everyone else alone with his racist/facist non-sense.
Im proud you took the plunge! Feel free to reach out if you get stuck on anything. Im a principal engineer whose done work all over the tech stack including the linux kernel and wrote my own shell. (Think gnome/kde user interfaces.) And these days im playing with biochemistry:)
