Yes I have. I’ve worked to get progressives elected. I’ve walked precincts to encourage people to vote. I did that shit for decades. And shit just got worse. What I see, over and over, is fuckers bitching about 2 choices who never even bothered to vote in the primaries, you know, when you usually actually have a choice. Complaints about 2 party system, first past the post, etc. are absolutely legitimate, but it comes down to the fact that these people are elected. So yes, I am blaming the voters. A little less than 50% of the stupid fuckers still think shit-for-brains trump is doing a great job.

Also, those same fucking voters keep electing the same decrepit representatives, so why should they (the reps) be expected to rock their money boat?

Farting. I had a teacher who would send kids to the nurse for farting. So, of course, we’d fart as loud as possible and blame it on someone around us. You know, whip your head to the side and say,“Damn, Chris!” They usually got sent to the nurse. This was at least 2-3 times a week. I got blamed enough times that she upped the seriousness and sent me to the principal. Fair enough, I mean, I had gotten more kids sent to the nurse than they got me, and the principal just sort of rolled his eyes and sent me back to class. 7th grade.

Unless you have a real reason not to use X11, why not just use X11?

In 10 years they’ll have laid off the senior developers and will be using actual AI to translate C-suite dorks’ grunts and marketing speak to code.

I take like 1 minute to poop

What sort of wizardry is this?

Paintball cosplay.

It only sucks compared to freezer on top. For utility. I go in the fridge way, way more than the freezer. Bottom freezer that pulls out is the best. Subjectively.

What do you call French Doors in France?

I’ve never had an issue with either, but a good friend who had a heroin issue for a decade (multiple jail stays), swears that it was easier for him to quit heroin than cigarettes. Like all addictions though, it’s an individual thing.

If you’re both happy, what’s the issue? Also, I had never seen that term before.

You aren’t wrong, and I’m not sure why the other person is arguing with you. Seems like that Monty Python sketch about arguing.

.ml is awful, but you’ll find a lot of those knee jerk purity types spread all over the lemmyverse.

It doesn’t seem like people are really aware that the coup was successful this time. All the shit we are seeing is just fallout from that.

righteous?

Interesting how you skipped over the BLM protests, which were literally 100 times larger than the Women’s March, and resulted in significant changes to the exact thing they were protesting

^ that was what I was responding to. Context matters.

That’s a long way to say not much has changed. BLM may have improved things, or maybe just the reporting changed. Or maybe something else. I don’t know. There are so many foundational level problems in this country, and I hear nobody talking about them. Social sicknesses that lead to so many symptoms, including, but certainly not limited to, both police violence and magat voters. I’ve been voting for progressives in primaries, walking precincts, engaging with conservatives (back when they existed) for several decades now, and I’ve just watched shit get worse and worse. My time is over, I’m leaving my gloves in the ring, and turning into a full-time spectator now. Good luck.

I stopped sitting in on interviews at my old job. Everyone that I thought was a great interview ended up being a shitty employee.

I didn’t realize police stopped shooting black people. Also, the media’s fucked up coverage on the BLM protests had a big impact on ignorant troglodytes supporting fuckhead trump this time around.

I didn’t say protest, I said strike.

Well, you didn’t, and the post is about a protest. But your point is a good one.
