I pray to the universe that that last scenario won’t happen, but I’m totally doing it now if it does.

Yeah actually it was a Belarusian journalist, Roman Protasevich.

How does that work when all of the production happens in other countries now? Is there some scenario where we have a socialist white collar economy? All the rhetoric surrounding Communism fits a blue collar economy where production is still the key driver of the economy. Most “1st world” economies these days are service economies not production economies. Is there some literature on how Communism fits in with a service economy?

These people care more about their “principles” and lack of fundamental understanding of the realities of a first past the post system, than the very real reality of people like us losing our rights.

Everyone who thinks voting 3rd party or staying home is an option is rooted in privilege.

No, it’s because people like you don’t vote in primaries. I vote in every primary for better candidates meanwhile people like you scream how the candidates are awful while staying home during the primaries.

The candidates won’t get better until we grass roots organize and start actually making good candidates popular.

Also I guess losing the majority on SCOTUS and losing abortion rights was just a “hypothetical scenario” when people like you refused to vote for Hillary in 2016?

When will you people learn that, yes, elections have consequences.

Trying to pretend like they might not and Trump might somehow not be worse is being deliberately obtuse and sticking your head in the sand. Wake up and smell the reality.

Please tell me about your hypothetical future where you don’t vote for Biden. Please explain to me what your best case scenario and outcome look like in that situation? Please tell me, what are you working towards?

If you think you’re going to change anything by not voting or voting third party then I have a bridge I’d love to sell you and decades of American history I’d like you to read.

Please explain to me what action you’re going to take and how that’s going to lead to positive change?

Nope, they’d rather scream about “not voting for the lesser of two evils” full well knowing that if they don’t that the likelihood of Trump becoming president and having MUCH worse policies for the Palestinians becomes much greater.

But hey, why care about the realities of a situation when you can scream about principles or something?

Is there so much more he could have done without an act of Congress? We saw from Trump’s presidency that most executive orders do not hold up in court and Congress controls the power of the purse.

Remember how Russia forced Navalny’s plane to land in a different country so they could arrest him? Not that I agree with the action, but it might not be a bad idea for Europeans and Netanyahu. Just sayin’.

How does this work with local laws regarding 2 party recording? If you’re on a video call and this records the other party without their permission, that is AFAIU illegal in many states in the US. I’m sure in parts of Europe as well.

Lol wut, they never claimed servers were independently controlled. Maybe you just didn’t look into what you were signing up for.

When you go use different servers on Minecraft realms are you under any impression those are not controlled by Microsoft?

When you choose a different server on World of Warcraft do you think it’s a non-blizzard server?..

Like just because you put yourself into a state of bad false assumptions didn’t mean they tried to trick you. People have been saying this about discord from the beginning you just never cared to look.

Did you actually think this or are you just inventing a person in your mind that this has happened to? Lol

The famous rap artist Biggie was also known as The Notorious B.I.G.

(U.S. specific rant incoming)

As long as they actually advocate for queer rights and don’t vote for politicians who do everything in their power suppress and restrict those rights.

The issue is many religious people value their religious “principles” more than they do voting for someone who would not repress the queer community.

So at the end of the day it feels very two-faced to me. While they may be nice to your face they have no problem voting for people who would condemn you to hell and treat you like animals because their single issue voting tendencies are ingrained.

“Hey! Bi-den Hey! How many kids have you killed today?!?”

On the flip side, if the genders were changed in this situation and the guy only wanted the woman because of superficial reasons like she was attractive or popular, how many people would be saying “he got what he deserves”

This is definitely one of those double standard situations. While we shouldn’t be victim blaming, I think there’s something to be said for calling out people who are willing to throw away an existing relationship or form a new relationship just because an “influencer” came up to them and they thought they were rich. And I think that’s what the poster you are responding to was getting at.

Ah well the article is referring to installing apps not updates, that’s not even included in this. But maybe the apps install at the same time now too.

Is that true? Last time I checked multiple icons appeared on the home screen at the same time, but the downloading progress bar will only fill up on 1 app at a time.

Would be cool if the server wasn’t proprietary and closed source. Until I can look through the source code of the server I’ll stick to Signal who has open sourced everything and a very well security reviewed implementation.

Aren’t her albums made up stories now, like theme albums? Like she did with Folklore?
