Do you really think you're going to get a third of America to not only rally behind a candidate that isn't the two-party front runners, but also rally behind the same candidate?
I'm worried about people refusing to vote Biden because he sucks and then the outspoken, proud fascist winning and stripping rights from myself and my friends, giving Israel even more support, halting support to Ukraine, and attempting to dismantle the little democratic power we have.
The '96 election was not an existential threat at the level of the '24 election.
At the margins we have voting for Biden or voting third party will do nothing but prop up Trump's dedicated voter base. This is your impact. You can hate Biden and still vote for him if it means keeping Trump out of office.
I don't subscribe to your belief of widespread violent revolt if Trump loses.
If we're considering foreign policy, a Trump victory means not only continued destruction in Gaza but potentially an additional genocide in Ukraine. Domestically he has demonstrated that he's unwilling to accept a loss and will stoop to transporting fake elector ballots to overturn the election. That's not to mention his platform which I see as abhorrent. I don't consider putting this guy in the Oval Office to be an acceptable solution. Voting for Biden is the only effective defense against this. I have accepted that we are going to have a terrible genocide enabling president after this election. This is taking a mental toll on me for sure but at the end of the day it can always be worse. If we don't agree on that premise then we won't agree on much here.
Please don't strawman me. I'm not a zionist, I'm not a proud liberal. My belief is that encouraging a Trump victory will result in MORE atrocities and should be avoided. I have accepted the truth that we will have a genocide-enabling president because, in terms of my participation in the 2024 election, that is out of my control. There are means of protest and expression outside of this election but, within the scope of the '24 presidential election and our casted votes, this is simply the reality that we have to work with. My phrasing of "accepting" is not in terms of complacency with my country's actions but acceptance that within the scope of which box I check on Election Day, I will reluctantly have to vote for someone who supports a genocide because the alternative is to not participate.
As an example. I grew up in hip-hop but at a certain point I stopped listening to new people and realised recently that I’d slept on some bangers. Like Kendrick particularly, but even people like Juice WRLD and Xxxtentacion....
Then the post wouldn't have meaning because that's a universally agreed upon moral sentiment on its face. The post is targeting people who would rather take offense to recent discourse rather than slowing down and considering how this moral sentiment applies to the situation. Without specifying 'women' and 'men' the post would not have contextual meaning.
You're free to make your own 'inclusive' meme that states the obvious, but the people this meme is targeted toward would see it as obvious and not consider how it pertains to their behavior.
That is exactly the situation. No part of this post is hateful; it's adversarial because women expressed a justified fear and men just "disagreed" because they don't like to think about it. The point is to be controversial yet morally correct as a statement. It would absolutely not work just as well if it was inclusive, people would just agree with it and no one would care.
Do you disagree with the statement? It doesn't sound like you do. What's the issue? Who is harmed by this post?
Thank you for your input - I think a lot of that depends on the specific model and price point as well. Imo at the end of the day it's good to go for a laptop thick enough to accommodate a heatsink and look up any firmware restrictions on performance beforehand. Plenty of workstation laptops hit point one but I haven't gamed on them enough to speak for point two

Yes because it's not an anti-police story, it's a reporting of events with which you can use your brain to reach a conclusion. What you're describing is better suited for commentary like this thread.
If you look at the URL the original published headline said 'alleged murder', it's always more passive until something sticks, like a murder charge.
Edit: NBC is not doing their jobs correctly if they make assumptions about the cause of death. We've seen excessive force in similar situations being the direct cause of death but it's not the job of these news outlets to make assumptions on your behalf. An assumption about something that was likely to have happened is still an assumption.
If NBC calls it a murder and a report comes out that definitively shows that the death happened concurrently but was not caused by the use of force then NBC is in the shit because they appealed to your emotions instead of reporting the facts.

You have every other day to advocate for what you feel is right, ultimately voting for anyone other than Biden is indisputably contributing to a worse outcome for the Palestinian people. How much does your conscience matter if your actions directly help a fascist win? Get real
to answer your question, Linux systems tend to be more stable than windows when it comes to just leaving it running and different distros have different tools for repairing files. Funny enough I actually fixed a windows installation using a equally user friendly tool that shipped with Ubuntu
I can packet inspect and watch them sell data? No lol they collect telemetry but you can use a derivative that doesn’t because it’s open source. That’s not the point though, the point is they don’t sell data. You can look at the finances yourself stateof.mozilla.org
