Jail? At this point?
Their crimes against humanity have far exceeded that, and this entire administration exists at all so their pedo hitler can dodge jail.
If there’s any justice, their regime will be facing a pockmarked wall, or the end of a rope.
“Uh, Pam, there’s some shit on your nose again.”
For one I agree with you. I hate how fast everything is going to shit too but I still have hope and want to avoid mass bloodshed and conflict. If there’s a legal way to take these monsters to the gallows, we should pursue every avenue.
It’s always so brave and impressive that these revolutionaries have the time to stoke violent insurrection on Lemmy whilst they’re serving on the front lines of the rebellion themselves! Such dedication to the cause.
Oof, that sounds terrible I’m sorry to hear that, and it’s good to know. I really hate the trend of lazy reliance on Discord as the sole means of communication. :(
Same vibe as when some community solely operates out of a Facebook group. Yuck.
They haven’t freaking learned from their dumbass hyperbolic rhetoric, have they?
“It’s a war” “It’s us against tHeM” “ThEy’re coming for us and we gotta fight ThEm”
Everything is a “war” and a “conflict” and some self-righteous last stand for them. Usually to take over something or rob someone or otherwise violate others.
This rhetoric breeds unhinged insanity. And sometimes that insanity they drum up turns around and manifests at lethally high velocity like it did with Kirk.
And they KEEP DOING IT.
We really need to keep pointing and laughing and asking in earnest “Why the hell are you so WEIRD?”
Time to start your very own chapter of the Socialist Rifle Association? :D
That’s so cool. This should also help with all those roguelikes that map vim navigation!
Is there a good place to start learning regular expressions as if I’m a young kiddo who just learned to finally read? Lol
…I have a wee one on the way so I’d like to get ahead of this knowledge myself lol. 😅
Comments like this I wish I could upvote for the laugh and simultaneously downvote on principle lol. XD
This is why I’ve considered an idea for all those cities occupied by our own troops right now…
I’m thinkin’, everybody should get really buddy buddy with the troops. Take the kids to meet them. Give them water bottles on a hot day. Make smalltalk. Ask about their families. Get on a first name basis. No ulterior or subversive motives, like legit BEFRIEND these people.
The way fascists justify turning the military on anyone is dehumanization.
Maybe Corporal Huggins could be ultimately convinced to attack “Those rebellious protesters.” But is he going to be as willing to fix his rifle on “Armin, that guy who always asks how I’m doing” and “Barbara, who brought us donuts that one time”, or “George, whose little boy Eric thought I looked so cool and thanked me for keeping the city safe”?
It’s stupid that they’re there. They mostly think so too, and if we bond over that, I think it could increase the chances of better outcomes when the orange Caligula escalates his insanity.
Winning a population with “hearts and minds” can work both ways.
The hellspawn in office are counting on us to cower and keep to ourselves, or violently lash out and justify death in return. Either way they would get what they want.
Who knows, I’m just daydreaming here but maybe eventually we’d even get the military’s support in rocking the absolute shit out of ICE if they catch a van of LARPing terrorists coming to drag their friends away.
We need to solidify our bonds as human Americans, before these filthy outsider monsters that captured some cushy chairs succeed in turning us violently on each other when we should be coming for them.
(agh, double post. Redacting. Lol)
But I would maybe consider using Linux for everything except for specifically games that require Windows.
That’s the way. I started this way too, and as I got more comfortable well, my Windows partition hasn’t been booted for a couple years now because OpenSUSE Tumbleweed has run all my games beautifully.
Vermintide II even stopped crashing the entire system when I used Linux instead of Windows! On Nvidia BTW.
Even though sometimes it feels like I might be missing out on playing some of the newest hypey-est multiplayer games, I also remind myself that I don’t want something on my computer like the new Battlefield’s or Riot Games’ incredibly creepy and invasive anticheat, no matter the OS!
… Plus, I got like a thousand games to enjoy anyway. Maybe you’ll feel the same, idk?
I will say though, Linux starts to just feel fun to compute on. It feels like a machine that’s yours instead of some licensed appliance. I missed that feeling from the really old Windows days when it was fun.
Do a little exploring, but picking a distro with KDE should feel at home really quick coming from Windows. :)
The fact that the people involved went to the JAG for legal cover clearly demonstrates that they know that what they are doing is following illegal orders.
Despicable. Did they really go to JAG to ask “I’m covered if I do this right?”?
Rather than “There’s no way in hell this is legal and you’ll cover me if I refuse, right?”?
Evil at worst. Shamefully spineless and devoid of honor at best.
“Just following orders” is not a valid defense in carrying out increasingly heinous crimes against humanity.
a job that refused to pay me overtime after a year of working for them as the sole employee/manager of the shop.
Wow, like they would force you to work just under the limit to qualify for overtime, or wouldn’t pay overtime owed? Because that’s straight up wage theft!
I notice businesses that try to be “savvy” by taking shortcuts and skirting labor laws tend to collapse themselves once they run out of employees that are way too good for them and won’t put up with it anymore.
Glad you escaped.
So if anything, she deserves a bug bounty!
Yeah that was one of those gems that makes the extended editions the definitive ones. :D
I wish that was still as valid, but sheesh, these days operating for years on a massive loss with zero profits and empty promises is a Silicon Valley standard.
You’d have to convince enough investors that it was just a big cash black hole that was going nowhere.
I wish! Every time a MAGA gets busted for something terrible or ruins themselves, they end up with published ghostwritten books full of their whining and excessive airtime on FOX News and various nutter podcasts. Lol
But yes what these lawyers are doing sounds FAR more productive and that’s awesome. :D
