If she’s using the money and her campaign feeds homeless people to attract attention then I can’t possibly imagine how it would be misappropriating money.

Should she be paying it as a salary to one of her cousin’s, maybe she should be buying ad spots on network television?

We’re talking about her and she used the money. What the hell do you want?

It’s more like bad comedy.

At some point in the show Gallagher runs out of watermelons to smash and has to tell some jokes.

The police could learn to keep their distance and stop instigating violence. If you push people they’ll push back. If you’re armed expect them to not give you a chance to use your weapon.

The lesson here is let people do their peaceful protesting and you won’t necessitate violence.

This isn’t a right-wing protest, this crowd doesn’t want violence, it wants to be heard. This crowd is willing to use violence to ensure it’s right to be heard is preserved.

Until I can see some evidence that the unarmed crowd instigated violence against the armed police I’m going to consider the armed police to be the instigators since they showed up armed and then approached a crowd of people who were voicing their opinion.

Elon didn’t go anywhere. Him leaving was theater in the hopes that his stocks would stop cratering.

Self-preservation is a morally acceptable reason to not do something unless a reasonable case can be made that you should do that thing.

It’s not cowardly to not throw your life away for no good reason. Unless he had a moral reason to go, he had a moral right to not go.

Conscription produces bad soldiers and it’s morally reprehensible to conscript soldiers to invade a country that does not pose a threat to you.

My friend said if I was a mega Man boss I would be “Do-man” because I’m willing to do the leg work to make shit happen including the basic research!

It means that I have a tremendous catalog of useless facts. They keep the unregulated useful facts in line…

Not wanting to bomb brown people in the name of fascism is quite a far cry from being a coward.

Vietnam should not have been invaded. Not wanting to participate in that shit show is just a reasonable moral decision.

It’s still a friendship test they just didn’t realize who was being tested.

Much of the American Christian establishment is the type of Protestant that does not consider Catholics to be Christian.

I know that doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense but that’s how Americans “do religion”.

Baptists don’t care what the Pope has to say, seventh-day Adventists think he is actually the Antichrist. Most American Catholics don’t really care what the Vatican has to say and would resent the implication that they’re supposed to give a shit about the Pope’s opinion.

Americans just don’t do religion very well.

Obviously something they’ve been doing got under his skin because they ousted their long time leader and spirit animal Bill Owens.

Israeli terrorism?

This is so grim. Totally matches the vibe of that scene.

These new poors are gonna act like being poor is something new.

Pizza King. Tell me it was Pizza King?!

Social security disability insurance.

You have not seen people trying to burn down their GP. Quit making shit up.

As for being suicidal… That sounds like a pretty good reason to give people access to the medical care they actually need.

Imagine for a minute that you are a man and were in a car accident. During this accident your dick was cut off.

Surgical techniques exist to reattach your dick but the law says you must now live as a woman. You find a doctor who is willing to reattach your penis, something that you don’t have an infinite amount of time to do because it’s rapidly becoming a non-viable penis.

Suddenly, some asshole goes on television and says that people who want to have their penises reattached are pedophiles and any doctor who helps them is a monster. They put your picture on the news, they tell everybody that you’re trying to pretend you’re not a woman now.

How much of that do you think you need to put up with before you get pretty fucking pissed off?

Who’s insane here? Who’s acting irrationally? Who is the aggressor?

I’m a bog standard model of human male but I think if I were put in that situation I’d be weighing the value of the life of a person who would deny me my own body.

Oh yes the both sides argument…

I can see how all of those trans people are offending you with their… Checks notes… Desire to exist.

Truly we live in a mad world.

Yep that’s pretty fucking horrific.

I think that’s case closed.

If we’re done here can you turn off the lights on your way out?

I second this.

I have three large disk shelves, one made from a J23 CSA connected to an perc h730 in HBA mode, one made from a super micro connected to a LSI HBA card, and one that uses a repurposed DATTO unit with its original raid card flashed into IT mode.

They are all extremely reliable, handling dozens of drives and I use only ZFS for all of my bulk storage. The best part is how much faster I can replace a dead drive with ZFS than I could with any raid 5 anything. Also, ZFS is flexible enough that you can put ssds in to use for journaling and slog.

I have one machine with 192gb of RAM and I just use the ramdisk for slog. It’s all streaming media so if it crashes only the buffered streams are lost, and this way I’m not burning holes through SSDs quite so quickly.

What specifically did he say that was rationalizing anti-semitism?

Is it your belief that all anti-Zionism is anti-semitism?
