Biden: what would Trump have done if the Capitol riots had been led by Black Americans? ( www.theguardian.com )

Joe Biden has launched one of his most scathing attacks yet on Donald Trump’s record of racism, suggesting that the former US president would have acted differently to the January 6 2021 insurrection if was led by Black people....

grue ,

Exactly: we saw precisely how it would have worked during the Black Lives Matter protests the summer before:

As far as I'm concerned, that stark dichotomy is absolute proof in and of itself (let alone the pile of other evidence) that the coup was orchestrated from the very top.

grue ,

You sure about that? Seems to me his base is learning its history just fine, since they're managing to speedrun Hitler's rise to power even faster than Hitler did.

We've really got to quit underestimating the enemy and get serious about defending ourselves.

grue ,

You say that as if all of Lemmy isn't a Linux community.

fusion produces a huge amount of energy.

That's the kind of claim that'll age like "640k ought to be enough for anyone."

grue ,

I've got to assume most of those are things like single cars falling off the track in the switching yard or something, not major service-interrupting, cargo-damaging, or injury-causing incidents.

There is no limit short of absolute monarchy.

Are you just posting the worst of these, or are literally all of them posted by illiterate morons who exclusively write run-on sentences?

A CLA is okay if and only if the copyright is being assigned to the Free Software Foundation or a similarly reputable nonprofit.

Trump floats idea of three-term presidency at NRA convention ( www.theguardian.com )

Donald Trump flirted with the idea of being president for three terms – a clear violation of the US constitution – during a bombastic speech for the National Rifle Association in which he vowed to reverse gun safety measures green-lighted during the Biden administration....

grue ,

As the saying goes, "go far enough left and you get your guns back." It's not leftists clutching pearls over "gun violence;" it's privileged centrist liberals (a.k.a. MLK's "white moderates") doing that.

You didn't step on it; you assisted his layup.

Trump Demands Biden Take a Drug Test Before Debating and Claims the President Was ‘High as a Kite’ During the State of the Union ( www.mediaite.com )

“I just wanna debate this guy, but you know– and I’m gonna demand a drug test too, by the way,” Trump said as the audience cheered. “I am. No, I really am. I don’t want him coming in like the State of the Union. He was high as a kite.”

grue ,

That'll never happen, because Trump's not actually doing it.

Edit: Wait, I misread and thought you were talking about Melania.

grue ,

I am gruntled by your combobulated response to his peccable comment.

grue ,

It's why Larry Ellison bought the vast majority of Lāna'i, and Zuckerberg bought a chunk of the rest. An 8+ mile moat to the rest of Hawai'i, let alone the mainland US.

grue ,

When aplied at other protests (see earty capital hill occupations)...

...some other random fascist murders them instead, and then gets pardoned by Governor Abbott for it.

grue ,

Could be. Or it could be that you already knew your hypothetical isn't true, so you're deliberately concern trolling and sealioning.

grue ,

They yearn for the "good 'ol days" of when Oregon Territory was a whites-only ethnostate.

Seems reasonable. I'm looking forward to abandoning my house's gas supply sometime in the future, once I've completed replacing my gas appliances with electric (ideally heat pump or induction, as applicable) ones. In particular, I'm looking forward to no longer having to pay the fixed-price infrastructure maintenance fee that applies no matter how little gas I actually use.

Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads ( www.techradar.com )

Netflix has managed to annoy a good number of its users with an announcement about an upcoming update to its Windows 11 (and Windows 10) app: support for adverts and live events will be added, but the ability to download content is being taken away....

grue ,

I wish I had the software to do it myself.

grue ,

How's that saying go again — "The only way to stop a bad vigilante with a gun is with a good vigilante with a gun?"

grue ,

Gov. Abbott is definitely teaching the lesson that anyone who tries to drive into protestors should immediately be shot and killed, because all attempting to deescalate does is get more protestors murdered with no recourse.

grue , (edited )

and the right to carry arms, which they need to do.

The victim was doing exactly that (he was open-carrying an AK-47), which is the pretext the murderer used to falsely claim "stand your ground."

In retrospect, the tactically correct thing to do would've been for Foster to have preemptively shot Perry through the car window, citing the same "stand your ground" defense (with infinitely more legitimacy, since Perry had just been trying to run over protestors).

grue ,

Some mechanical engineer went to a lot of effort to make that shit dispense into the jar in a stripey pattern instead of letting it mix.

grue ,

In the biz, they call that "replayability."

Everything that isn't Free Software will become abusive eventually. It boils down to the simple fact that you can only trust your property, that you control.

grue ,

but the like 2-3 centrists in the Midwest who control our entire nation at this point due to the Electoral College system (and Dems refusal to do anything once elected) might be persuaded this way?

Those people are fictional, just a narrative neoliberals make up to try to excuse their abject refusal to let the Democrats move left to actually get more votes.

grue ,

The judge sees through the lie and issues a search warrant anyway?

grue ,

Eh, a lot of the blacktop shouldn't even exist in the first place because we should be zoning and designing cities for walking, biking and transit.

We could use solar to shade the bike/ped paths, though.

grue ,

I wish idiots making stupid substitutions were normally that self-correcting!

grue ,

😬

(Fun fact: putting gasoline in a diesel engine is way worse than putting diesel in a gas engine. In the latter case, it won't run until you replace the fuel with the correct stuff. In the former case, it pretty quickly destroys the engine.)

Tables are supported on the web page (Lemmy.world using the default UI); they just didn't do it right (for the default UI).

Example:

Behavior Reasonableness
Substituting applesauce 8/10
One-starring the recipe because it didn't work out 0/10

Markup used to construct it:

Behavior | Reasonableness
---- | ----
Substituting applesauce | 8/10
One-starring the recipe because it didn't work out | 0/10

Note that it's entirely possible that different Lemmy clients have different, mutually incompatible, Markdown implementations. I've already noticed one such difference: in the Lemmy.world default web UI, ~x~ does a subscript, but in my Voyager Android app, it does a strikethru.

grue ,

I've heard it both ways.

(The above is 50% sincere and 50% a Psych reference.)

grue ,

Could be. I'm using the F-Droid version, which tends to lag behind the Play Store version because of all the extra vetting they do.

grue ,

If I'm not mistaken, it'll kill old diesel engines, too.

grue ,

F-Droid had notified me to update Voyager to 2.9.1, but I hadn't bothered to do it yet.

grue ,

Yeah, but a lot of us don't want to be extroverted entrepreneurs like you apparently are, but we're forced to do that shit against our will anyway.

It's not that we don't think it's effective; it's that it's extremely uncomfortable and we hate doing it.

grue ,

How are you gonna get hired without networking?

grue ,

You have to network to get a job -- even just as a wage slave, not a boss or a business owner -- so you don't starve.

grue ,

See how much of a fucking idiot you’re being?

You're the one who's a pro-genocide concern troll, not him. You're Hell-bent on getting Trump elected so that Israel has free rein to murder every single Palestinian and you're butthurt that we see through your tactics.

grue ,

Are you capable of admitting the truth, that Palestinians will fare worse under Trump than Biden?

grue ,

So that's a "no" on your part, then. Thanks for proving your bad faith.

grue ,

LOL, your credibility is being destroyed all on your own. Don't blame me for your own defects.

grue ,

the arguments I made that was actually in “good faith” ironically.

Yeah, "good faith" in ironic scare quotes is right!

You can't resist admitting your guilt even as you protest your innocence, LMAO.
