correct, they’re fully interoperable

PieFed is the alternative for the alternative

By 2050 how many Chinese will be under-50?

Nonsense! If we can just get all the Wrong Kind of People out, and let only the Right Kind of People in, then we will finally achieve Trump’s Economic Miracle the US will be Great Again and big grown men with tears in their eyes from all the winning

Agreed 100%

Twice as bad when you have a VM running Gnome open inside Gnome host machine.

There should be a simple Tweaks option “hide Gnome titlebar” or better yet a per-window preference setting

I’m pretty sure socialist and communist countries also do perverted things like blatant propaganda, needless use of force, etc.

Cuba is a great example. Cuba wasn’t embargoed ‘because Communism!’ (though that was, stupidly IMO, part of the USA political messaging)

Castro did summary political executions & imprisonment , killed the free press , enacted torture …

What exactly did you want? Continue doing business like “NBD, you do you?”

You kill bills quietly in the Senate not the Houe

I didn’t say “undefended”

Great VP pick

American here. I remember shortly after the election I was visiting Indian co-workers in Bangalore. Over dinner they were asking why it took so long for us to elect a Black President.

They were clearly expecting a nuanced and historical perspective about the South, colonialism, economy, yadda

But my only and honest one-word answer: “Racism”

I grew up in a city that had gangs and trailer parks. Racism as deep as (and virtually a part of) religion. Those undereducated fucks hated (n-word)

EDIT: ofc Obama being both educated and black … he was their perfect nemesis

country as a whole

Species as a whole.

More progressive cultures are getting over this tribalistic, divisive stuff – they will tend to flourish over time.

More conservative cultures will double down on division – they will tend to wither.

… to as large an audience as possible

$40 billion towards saving Central & South American ecology would be a much much better investment than $40 billion in forest-destroying, greenhouse-gas-generating beef production

They definitely overlap.

They both tap into Tribalism, which is part of what Darwin called “the stamp of our lowly origin”

For 200,000 years we lived in tribal groups whose biggest threat was, very often, other tribes. That’s why “us-vs-them” thinking is so pervasive, visceral, and dangerous.

It’s sensationalist muckraker post-truth “journalism”

Exactly the kind MAGA has been churning out for years

And the “telemetry” surveillance

“There is no Royal Road to Geometry, Your Highness”

Americans can totally do all these high skill jobs they just need some training!

Usually starting with an engineering degree…

Cool, Americans barely consume any of those things

Ffs gotta be explicit these days: /s
