Thank you for the edit. Yes it was less than helpful, it was an obvious and patronizing statement, and I appreciate your willingness to analyze what you said and quickly admit that it wasn’t cool.

Yeah I have the ability but not the money sadly
Thank you 💚 I’m doing my best. We’re in this together
How do you expect trans folks to get there when there is a secret travel ban in place for them and they are getting their documents stolen and destroyed when they attempt to get the required passport to be able to travel? This has been going on for weeks. Its obviously only going to get harder to leave as more EOs are signed and freedoms eroded.
Yeah I’m like an entire days drive from DC or something and I don’t have a car or money for the extremely (intentionally) limited and expensive transportation options to get there. Plus they’ve been passing the older military equipment down through agencies to the point where my Midwestern hometown of like 20k people has an APC and grenade launchers. Its not looking good unless the military stands up for us, which I have a little hope for because of this update I’ll attach, but I don’t want to hand them all the power in the vacuum that is created afterwards because as has been pointed out many times here in this thread and elsewhere, they have a huge impact on the rest of the world, in particular the global south, and the MIC as a whole is the world’s largest polluter and historically is a massive driver of suffering and subjugation abroad and at home. I am very much afraid for everyone, and I hold the value of all human lives equality. The situation has become so complex with layers of psyops, propaganda, and misinformation, plus AI, healthcare, and so on, it’s all connected and it’s all toxic and fucked up because in some way everyone in our society buys into the literal death cult that is capitalism, and the country (if not much of the world) runs on cognitive dissonance just to not collapse under the weight of all the contradictions that are required to maintain the status quo.
Update on the army:
(Obviously much of this is based on my experience and my experience is not necessarily universal, as I apparently have to point out extremely clearly every time I make a statement of opinion on Lemmy lately)
Woah this is awesome
Not in the US.
I have never seen someone use that spelling of practice in the USA.
That phrase is about to be much more literal if these people get their way
Edit: BTW I love your username, were you inspired by Semi Hemi Lemmygod? They’re both hilarious. I think the art of choosing a good name for something is underappreciated.
What do you mean? This is “not the onion”. Didn’t you see the video from the governor? Its all very serious.
Lol I doubt anyone here would claim the democrats are what you say.
That’s your opinion and you have the right to express it. I disagree obviously, that’s why if you’ll pay very close attention to the words I used, it says “I think” before I said that.
Um yeah that’s why I qualified it how i did 🙄
Agreed, but I think it’s important to note that that isn’t because of a shortcoming of Linux, it’s because those companies are incentivized to support platforms that are more suitable for enabling massive profits, that’s what it seems like to me anyways.
How is that at all related to what I just said? No shit. We were just talking about nuance lol where did that go? Fuck off troll
No shit, some of that nuance would be nice to have in the political system but all we have is mostly old white party 1 & 2 and they’re both right wing? Fuck that
Btw if you think that’s the only issue with the Democratic platform and their presidential offering(s) this time, you are not paying enough attention, or you’re being misled.
Well, if we’re talking about “this country”, he may be the last.
Fuck you, if all you have to offer is “I wont genocide as hard as the other guys, but I also won’t try to stop them and also I have never said or done a single thing to actually slow the genocide, but 45 WORSE!!!” then you deserve to lose. Just because they only give us two choices doesn’t mean that actually reflects the reality or nuance of the situation. Don’t act like you give a shit about genocide.
Thank you.
