Maybe we should just ban hands. If you manage to insert questionable things into your rectum without them, you deserve your reward/punishment of achieving the deed.

For this reason, we must ban lightbulbs.

Lol by your definition, it’s only freedom if they follow your silly sky magician. So yeah, absolutely not.

You invited this guy but not us?!!

Kettle, meet pot. I’m completely serious about everything I’ve said, zero trolling here. You SPECIFICALLY said about people protesting only on their day off. What is the actual fucking significance in that? I asked you before and you deflected by calling me a schmuck because you don’t have an answer.

You made it about everyone’s job in your fucking post.

Then go barf, I don’t frankly give a shit. Your work situation apparently is so garbage that you feel that everyone’s is. No, mine has always been very supportive, from the top down to my level. I’d put my team up against any team out there because they give a shit about how I’m doing personally. We’ve gone through a lot, and we have respect for each other on a personal level.

My previous job though? Yes. Abso-fucking-lutely was toxic. I did that for 23 years. I have plenty of perspective on this and have seen other colleagues in other organizations having similar situations. Mine isn’t and I would always try to give my team a heads up when I won’t be available.

Maybe start with getting a job that respects you as an individual first before telling me I should just ditch work.

Generalizations will get you no where. You don’t know what’s going on with other people and there are plenty of activists who do more than you give them credit for. Tell me exactly how going to a protest during a work day actually promotes your cause over taking a day off, because my coworkers and my job are not my enemy here. Maybe yours is, but that’s not universal.

They’re snubbing their noses at you because you’re gatekeeping what it means to be committed to a cause. People need to keep their jobs out of responsibility and necessity and you are telling them it’s not good enough. You’re posing a false dichotomy about what it means to be committed. When the protest is over, they still need to pay bills.

This is a strawman argument and has nothing to do with either the original saying, the translated saying, nor the post here. No one is trying to make anyone look ignorant, you just didn’t get the post and are willing to die on this hill apparently.

Has nothing to do with being “better” or not. “Veni, vidi, vici” is very commonly translated to “I came, I saw, I conquered”. While you’re correct that is not accurate in translation, it’s irrelevant to the colloquial saying and translation.

So again, it’s a very simple and likely easily understood meaning for which translation is meant.

Yep I completely agree that our Democratic party does incredibly little. They got all upset at Trump calling them Do Nothing Democrats during his first term, but it’s the fucking truth. Voting Democrat is only the “lesser evil” because the alternatives are either fascists or independents who have no power hold whatsoever at ANY level of government in the entire nation.

The part that is infuriating for me is that I’d rather at least have a more centrist party if not outright liberal party, because Democrats are still conservative; they’re just further left of Republicans. The only liberal parties are independents and you cannot get federal power without first having local/city power, and then state power, and finally federal. It’ll never work on any other way in the US and that’s been proven for over 200 years.

You can’t fight from the inside if you’re on the outside.

It’s easy to point blame at something or someone when you’re completely unaffected by the problem and have zero personal stake. What I’m trying to tell you is that everyone needs to prioritize their own privacy online and it wouldn’t matter if I was a resistance general or the just the random dude on the street. We all have something to lose.

The only thing I will say is that I do work for government myself. No, it’s not an elected position, and no I’m not someone high up in legislation or anything like that. But I have been a public employee for decades now and my own state has proven that they can and will work to have someone forcefully resigned based on unfavorable social media posts.

So again, no.

But also “because of people like you” is exactly the kind of shit we should be fighting against saying in the first place, my dude. Because that leads to generalizations that those in power do take advantage of.

And I’m sure your uncle works for Nintendo. What’s your fucking point?

Jfc, no. Any work I may be doing does not need to be proven to you, and disclosing any of it would only be putting myself at risk. Do you even understand what kind of shit the feds are trying to use for digital surveillance? Or that our TSA literally are checking phones of people coming into our borders for anti-Trump social media posts? Why would I ever fucking tell you or anyone anything I participate in? That’s just how out of touch you are if you think I should.

I mean, you’re right if giving any facts is just an excuse now. This isn’t a list of reasons why we shouldn’t do something, it’s a list of reasons why it hasn’t worked at all yet, because people are trying, but you’d like to assume we all sit on our fat asses and do nothing I’m sure.

Why are you, so successful at installing despots around the world, that when a coup starts at home, you fail so damn hard at keeping the wigs off?

That is exactly the fucking answer. Who is doing this? Our military. Because they’re that god damned strong. You just listed a bunch of countries that while things may have been difficult, they do not at all compare to a super power’s military strength. They just don’t. That’s not something I’m happy about, and that’s not even American exceptionalism talking, that’s just the reality and the disparity of the different miliary strengths.

If you have already accepted your deaths, then why even bother replying to me on lemmy?

I’m not accepting it and you don’t get to say when I can and cannot speak out just because we disagree.

No it only does live ISO. Persistence requires install to USB, not live ISO which would all be stored in RAM.
