Are there still more than like 5 people trying to make Latinx a thing? I thought that one kind of died out early on, but I’m not a member of that community.

I see your point but I guess part of me really wants to see evidence that more of the maga cult has come to their senses. 84% still being willing to vote for him again damages my view of my fellow americans even more.

Another hopeful sounding headline telling us all what we want to hear.

Meanwhile in the text of the article:

When given a chance to recast their 2024 votes, in fact, just 84% of Trump voters said they would vote for him again

Just 84%?!

I feel compelled to point out that it was Snape Harry’s dad bullied, not Tom Riddle.

I’m pretty sure he already stays alive only by killing a Unicorn and drinking its blood every so often.

IIRC a big problem was that Andrew Johnson was softer on the former confederacy than Lincoln was. Unfortunately thanks to John Wilkes Booth, Johnson became president and he didn’t follow through with Lincoln’s plans or wishes for the former confederate states.

I don’t know what the point of separate partitions for OS and userspace is, but whatevs…

Some folks like to be able to reinstall the OS while preserving /home. That’s the only reason I’ve seen for doing separate partitions. (I’m not someone who does that, but it’s the explanation I’ve seen)

This is just the 100th iteration of “this time they will really start to criticise Trump”.

Yep. I’ve stopped thinking any straw will break the camel’s back of maga. They seem willing to accept literally any behavior from him. Every one of these articles about disillusioned trumpers never seems to have a basis in more than one or two anecdotal examples. These headlines exist only to provide copium (or maybe hopium) to the rest of us.

Given the number of times the, er, woke side of things gets blamed for terminology, I think it communicates the sentiment perfectly. When we try using very specific terms like white privilege or toxic masculinity , a great many people obtusely (intentionally in many cases I think) find those terms confusing or assume they mean something different than they do.

You hear “no one is illegal on stolen land” and you know exactly what they are trying to say. Anything more complicated would be too long or end up trying to be specific in a way that would confuse things, IMO.

EndeavourOS is very close to being vanilla arch with sane defaults. I run it on multiple machines and it’s rock solid.

The question you have to ask yourself, though, is this: Do I want to scold white people for their privilege, or do I want to get them on my side to fix it? In my experience, rubbing their noses in it is going to set people’s minds against you.

I think you are making the same mistake they do. You can’t very well get someone to help fix a problem if you don’t let them know the problem exists. Just discussing or explaining white privilege isn’t the same as scolding someone about it. The folks who take it that way are going to take it that way no matter what terms we use, because they don’t want to admit it exists.

I read the headline and thought “this should go in nottheonion.” Imagine my surprise… :D

I’m partial to this version:

Yes I was fully expecting the details to be “It was a Republican-sponsored bill in 1992” or similar. It’s just too damn believable.

Needs to be a full page spread in every major newspaper.

I hope every fucking thing he’s stamped his name on gets reversed within days of when he’s out of office.

He’s grown more agitated with news coverage and has failed to find a way to explain why he started the war — or how he will end it — that resonates with a public concerned by American deaths in the conflict, surging oil prices and dropping financial markets. Even some of his supporters are questioning his plan and his overall poll numbers are declining.

I feel like these articles are just feel-good puff pieces for those of us who don’t support trump. Best as I can tell he continues to do whatever he wants and it really doesn’t matter how it sits with laws or judges or congress. Poll numbers certainly don’t matter to him. He stands no chance of being impeached (or convicted if somehow he was.)

You get headlines like this article because it’s what we want to hear, but in the end he just does what he wants.

while liking the old version seems like a uniquely old man thing to do, just hating change for being change

Gnome 3 was a huge paradigm shift. Most people who noped out of Gnome afterwards disliked very specific things about it, not just hating change for being change. This is a really dismissive and kind of insulting take.
