Mountain Dew float with chocolate chocolate chip ice cream vs covfefe and hamberders, battle of the century

It is apparently not very good, according to the angry video game nerd, and it was published by LJN so I am inclined to believe its trash.

But a [quirky Earthbound inspired] indie JRPG thats woke about going back in time sounds like fun

On twitter.com presumably

Would you vote for that just because the other guy might be worse?

Yes, are you retarded? Like you’ve gotta be actually fucking stupid to be queer and think letting republicans win to punish dems is better for you, or Palestine. American politics is harm reduction, and the choice for less harm is clear.

And not voting for a major party will fix that how?

Even if a significant portion of the population goes third party (and assuming they all agree on the same party), splitting the vote has only ever helped the opposition.

And if Democrats are just Republicans from the last election cycle, which is an absolutely unhinged notion but I’ll humor you anyway, voting for Democrats is still in my best interest since Republicans are even further right

You’ve legitimately lost your mind in a purity test if you can’t see that.

and if enough people do that they lose

and then things get even worse for everyone, including Palestinians

I mean, voting blue no matter who is still in my best interest.

I hate it and it sucks, but that’s the way the cookie crumbles.

Most desktops have a graphical startup editor

I don’t think community policing is state violence.

Linux has been dead simple for 15 years now

So you expect every marginalized group to have their own personal cops?

That is so clearly not what I’m saying, have a good day.

>This is what Israel is using white phosphorus for, but the article is biased and never mentions it

<After rights groups accused Israel of war crimes for its use of white phosphorus in its 2008-09 Gaza offensive, the Israeli military said it would stop using it as smokescreen munitions in built-up areas, with unspecified exceptions.

The US and many other countries use white phosphorus based smoke munitions too, and it is not a war crime

That is true, but using it as an incendiary weapon in civilian areas is.

If you don’t like Al Jazeera, here’s another source.

on a smaller scale it’s harder to form a group that would argue for necessary support for these people

Idk, I kinda gotta disagree with that. Sure, mob violence against “undesirables” is always gonna be a problem, but communities know each other and are less likely to see different constituent groups as “outsiders”

But in this specific example, where we are talking about “how do we decide who gets to use violence to keep the peace,” I think community-based democratic approaches are the best option.

I also gotta disagree with

that community will still have its marginalized groups that don’t get representation

because by definition, if there is a marginalized group, they are not part of that community, and instead would form their own peacekeepers, like Guardian Angels.

Obviously there is a benefit to federalization, I’m not arguing for nor do I support statelessness, but I think if democracy is emphasized from the ground up, those issues naturally tend to erode. Like I think the core problem which necessitates the federal government stepping in to ensure rights comes from a lack of democracy.

Oh wait I just reinvented violence of the state hehe

Except if the state is a community voting on how they should be policed, it isn’t really violence, is it?

Sure, and there are some performance gains to be made from it I’m sure, but when my OS is doing that and my web browser is doing that and my browser based chat client and my browser based text editor are all doing that, it gets pretty sluggish.

This is why Linux is a godsend for older machines, even running the exact same applications (Firefox, Discord, and vscode) on the exact same hardware, it still feels more responsive on Linux because there is less overhead from the OS itself.

4GB is what Windows idles at for me, after everything has loaded.

You present a false dichotomy. Yes, things like uncompressed audio and HD video take up more storage space, but that does not negate that modern commercial software is very inefficient with how it uses resources. You could improve the efficiency of the system while keeping HD video, it is not a mutually exclusive choice.

For example, booting up Windows and doing nothing takes up 4gb of RAM, while doing the same with a lean Linux installation would take up a quarter of that, despite both operating systems having identical functionality (run web browser, open applications, edit documents, play games, etc).

Not if you type more frequently than you mouse, so having a pointer right on home row can be super convenient.
