“They’ll never know,” got him a traumatic ketamine induced rage monologue thrown at him by Daddy. So no more fake love for future Elon.

The funding of ICE doesn’t mean that the military, ICE, FBI, etc. outnumber the American civilian population, obviously. Now, this doesn’t mean that the American citizens are united nor organized nor ideologically aligned, also obviously. And yeah, this is Nazi America. What a lot of doomers fail to point out is that Nazi Germany didn’t last forever. And neither will Nazi America. The tragedy of Nazism is multifaceted, but one of those many tragedies is if you just want to live a regular life, you don’t have a choice but to fight, either for or against fascism. They force you to choose a side, and then you’re in it.

And yeah, the time for mass death on the streets of America instigated by its own government on its own people is here. It is already happening. It has sadly been happening for far longer than most think. It’s just a lot more overt now. People make fun of the Leopard’s eating right wingers faces. But truthfully, if you’re surprised by any of what’s going on right nowin the US or any capitalist country, then the Leopard has been eating all of our faces.

The Military will for the most part comply and murder, torture, imprison, and enslave their own mothers, daughters, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters etc.

And then there will just simply be one too many deaths, one too many suicides, one too many rapes, one too many genocides.

And yeah, more violence will ensue as there is a purge of fascists, and hopefully, this time, unlike after the civil war, we hang the traitors, topple their monuments, and defecate on their graves.

And then climate catastrophes will wipe out all humans except those that live closer to the poles. And then we will revert back to a more primitive way of life for better and provably far worse. And perhaps then the anthropocene will mercifully end, and humans will finally just go fucking extinct.

So it will all be not okay and then really not okay and throughout most of the ensuing century and a half, most, if not all, of us will die.

The thing most people are struggling with right now is that they haven’t transitioned from the privileged viewpoint that the big question in life is choosing “how do you want to live?”, when the only actual choice you have is “how do you preserve your choice of how you are going to die?”

Essentially, the only choice you have is to preserve your right to find your hill to die on, then stare death in the fucking face as you go. Cuz eventually even that choice will be taken from you, so take advantage now like its a fire sale on the last remaining freedom.

Enjoy all these positive vibes.

Fair enough. Its just one of those situations I’d hate to be in (i.e. starving but have a can of food with no can opener). Food so close yet so far…

Oh yeah, that’s cool. I don’t know how comfortable I’d be eating out for the spoon end with the can opener blade so close to my face though, lol.

Yeah, I solved that by wrapping the pointy end in electrical tape. Works out pretty well.

Even though I don’t regularly use it, I’m glad I have a p38 can opener on my keychain. Just in case I end up in a survival situation, it’s good to have alongside a good keychain bottle opener. Obviously not as good as a leatherman, but for under $20, yeah, these two are worth it.

I don’t blame people for running, but personally I’ve always found that Fighting Fascism is a Fine Hill to Die On.

I’ve used espanso for about 4, maybe 5 years and haven’t encountered this issue. I even have to compile it myself because it’s daemon mode uses systemd on Linux and I dont run a distro that uses systemd and had to modify the source code slightly. I do run it in managed mode, essentially invoking it from a startup script when my window manager starts up.

Long story short, what you encountered might have been related to how it integrates with the init system and you might try and run it directly from a startup script. Simple test is to just try and install the latest version and see if you have the same issue.

Espanso Text Expander. Its not Linux specific but its got so many uses. You can even use it with bash scripts to have essentially alises/text shortcuts for short or massive amounts of text. I use it for so many code snippets and template texts in Neovim and other applications that involve typing.

I like Tubular and/or Seal(a yt-dlp wrapper) on Android and don’t use a TV, but yeah, anything but the actual YouTube app is probably better.

Ublock Origin on Firefox With Sponsorblock is the answer.

Edit: Mispelling, fuck autocorrection

Maybe. Who knows how people will interpret this on an individual basis. Cowards will take it as a sign not to fuck with Trump. Pragmatists might do as you say, and avoid having anything to do with him. Narcissists will think they can do better than Musk and avoid his missteps. And Bullies will smile and say this is why they love and identify with Trump even more.

Its a nice thick Toxic Soup that the American people are being force fed.

If there isn’t a literal fire and brimstone Hell, we should make one for ICE personnel.

The OP’s what if scenario is already well outside the realm of potential reality, might as well go hard into the imagination space.

Definitively? Like everyone agrees I won the argument and it causes anyone who witnessed it to rethink their stance on the topic and actually fucking change the way they think and behave? An occurrence so rare I’d might as well play the lottery?

If that were true… I guess I’d argue Donald Trump about addressing and curbing Climate Change…and second choice would be arguing Elon Musk on the merits of developing actual empathy.

Genie wishes…pipe dreams in a lamp, lol. Anyways, thanks for inducing a small indulgence in some fantasy.

The implication is that inebriation is a positive attribute of alcoholic beverages.

And heck, I suppose if I were given two choices between a poison that causes pain during the entire poisoning process, and a poison that only causes pain towards the end…I’d take the latter.

FFS people! YES, YOU VOTED EXACTLY FOR THIS!!

Admit that this is what you voted for and just say you regret it, you were wrong, and then do whatever you can to salvage what little is left of your community.

Jesus Fucking Christ, I just can’t with these fucking people, it’s as if their intestines have started to excrete feces into their skulls.

If animal cloning after death is any indication. You have up to 48 hours after death to preserve the tissue and clone it.

And then force them into slavery on the farms that now are in deep need of cheap labor.

I’m so very proud to be an American, 🙄.

This. Even if cloning humans were legal, and she wanted to clone him, or freeze his deceased body to clone him in the future, she’d only have a few hours before his DNA was no longer viable for cloning.

This is just sad on so many levels.
