Wouldn’t a full fledged abandonment of electoralism, the kind that would be required to look at AOC as an enemy, just be excellerationism? I guess if your loyalties are always strictly dismantling* US stability then you’d just view it as starving the beast. In this way you’d be pretty well aligned with incompetent fascists, since the US is in a spiraling decline that will now inevitably result in us losing our authority on the world stage. Just for different reasons than they would use I guess.

In that way, how can leftists take MLs seriously, when their world view is largely agreement, but their actions and attacks are directly opposed to democratic socialists a lot of the time. You also have to couple in that while you may attack fascists too, any division amongst the left is multiplied by 100x over divisions in the center or right since billionaires hold the microphone.

It’s not really arbitrary when those you agree most with are also in your crosshairs on actions of substance. It’s also very telling that most situation here on Lemmy that at least I see ML presence it’s on these edge cases, rather than things like Rick Scott almost single handedly showing a failure of electoral politics when he created the nations biggest organized Medicaid fraud ring, something people being polled seem to care about, and then was elected into office anyways as an equal to Bernie Sanders. Is this a blind spot on my part or do you feel calling out the best representatives as more impact for your message that the system sucks? What we see is us working and you complaining.

Edit: word missing.

I see a lot of agreement, not “the opposite” in this post. You talk a lot about nuance but didn’t cite an example when you’d use it to navigate a difficult subject to grasp, or what that might look like. You also lean into the America bad trope without showing you can do any different. If it is opposite then make that point, not the word salad of how hard it is to be a ML and be right all the time, btw on topics the left very broadly agrees about as your examples.

Cuba’s embargo is not supported by the left. If you’d like to expand more on my points, then what good does attacking AOC as AOCIA bring to the cause of Cuba’s starvation?

It seems to me like they take the wrong lesson from leftism, which is that the US is usually the bad guy in most situations and they represent oligarchy interests by default, then extrapolate that to other countries opposed to the US being the good guys by default. Nuance and taking the facts at face value for every situation is much harder to explain to others as an ideology.

They’ve also been infected with a cynicism that makes them open to grifts similar to the right. Our best fighters can’t be perfect, so they try and rip support off of them. Jimmy Dore, the Aussie green party, Jackson Hinkel, the Caleb sex pest dude, they all have criticism of everyone else while providing no real ideas of their own and how to get there. They’re just propped up as a distraction rather than a movement.

I know it already is but should it be?

BDS would seem to suggest otherwise. We care less about actual hatred than criticisms of our ethnostate agendas, but it’s through the perceived hatred that cry-bullies thrive. Hate speech laws only make their bullying more effective. Look at Palestinian action in the UK. The lack of these laws protect us more than they would help our political rivals, who would love to see them pass. Billionaires can give a Nazi salute at CPAC with virtually no consequences and no laws were unanimously passed to provide those consequences, whereas BDS was widely adopted. TLDR, you can’t trust politicians to tell us what hatred is.

Wowzer, booking.com fucking sucks I guess

The company must report the incident to the DMV within 72 hours, or 24 hours if the officer has designated the incident a priority because of “a clear or potential danger or risk of injury to others,” the regulations said.

Nothing says imminent danger like a 24-72 hour grace period to do something about it.

There needs to be a community, “AI is fucking stupid”

I’ve heard that carbon is not necessarily the best basis for self replicating structures. Silicon is able to form a lot of similarly complex bonds that carbon is with a similar chain of reactions to our own. I don’t know if another life form from the ground up would even have diseases, although I guess cancer is pretty likely in any self replicating system due to cosmic rays. That would make it pretty hard to space travel though, one would expect their repair mechanisms to far excel beyond the durability of our own, which is actually pretty crap and easily confused with symmetrical DNA chains, excessive damage, repeating sequences, etc. There are other animals on earth that have better repair systems in place than us allowing them to live virtually forever, but none are mammals.

I think in the event of war, it would be about as long as the time it takes for us to announce the war until it’s over. The technology to freely planet hop from another solar system is like the large hadron collider vs an ant using a leaf to cross a puddle.

We’d better hope they don’t have healing technology to share with us because he’ll give it to the insurance industry to manage after slapping a few guard rails on it.

Maybe we can all just pretend that Bernie is our leader. It’s a nice thought anyways.

Pretty sure we’d have no communication with the alien that wasn’t just corrupt politicians trying to speak for us to get some sort of trade out of them to increase their own power. It’s too important for any/all normal people to have a voice, and then when the aliens dislike the abhorrent greed we’ll probably just suffer some how more than we already do. I’d say we’re better off not reporting any alien sightings. I would trust almost any human on earth more talking to aliens on my behalf than a so called leader currently. Maybe Ireland, Spain, a handful of others have better than regular Joe leaders, but it’s rare.

In order to be honest you need a Jesus-like or maybe even good Samaritan level of discipline for longer than you’ve probably even wanted to be in politics to avoid the media being able to cut you down, that is if you’re not one of their preferred candidates; which if you’re honest, you’re not.

Zohran is probably as close as I’ve seen to someone who accepts tough questions and responds with honesty. He’s basically a saint though and that’s not very common. Even considering that they’re going after his wife for pretty based stances. Honesty, in short, is not rewarded with our political and media-driven landscape, unless you make them look stupid just by virtue of the nothing burgers they bring to bear. Otherwise you’re better off giving the razzle dazzle and moving on, or lying convincingly and picking and choosing what you admit to like some other good candidates probably do.

Kinda depends on all 3 devices. Some USB devices can have extremely high burst rates before they’re heat saturated or some have ssd’s built in that can nearly peg the bus speed. Slow spindisks would be in the range of 80 mb/s or so where fast ones like sata Exos drives would be nearly 300 mb/s and sas even faster, some even bursting to max out the bus speed with their cache. Another factor is the load itself. Random access data is incredibly slow on spindisks compared to virtually any USB device, meaning lots of small files are going to crawl compared to big ones. Bit locker and tpm could be slowing it down if it needs to decrypt which isn’t likely slowing the USB drives down.

I think you’d get a better set of potential issues by being specific about the devices and interfaces.

It’s usually bots. Unfortunately it’s not easy to moderate them, but if a bot is reported, doesn’t have a bot flag, and says a bunch of pro-ai stuff in addition to the reported activity it’s usually enough evidence to ban. It’s just one of their current tells, I wouldn’t base a ban only on that though. Report when you suspect them though.

Because they have empathy for people stuck in cycles of misery. There were many choices you made in your life that could have turned out much worse than they did. I wouldn’t want people like you to sneer at you for that either.

Making a company that revolutionizes how games are sold around the world and markedly for the better is a better reason for having dragons hoards than manipulating the stock market. There are degrees to douchebaggery.

That’s an excellent point. If the purpose of this community is discussion then reposts are harmful to that since for this community especially it’s going to be a lot of clarifying questions about a given picture, etc.

Reposts are pretty lame, I only care when it’s the bulk of someone’s presence on the community though, or if it’s just from one reddit user they’re trying to boost.

Not sure how you got the impression that, “here in the US, it’s always weekly pay.” Semi weekly or bi-monthly is more common.

There are some delinquent employers and I’d say despite the illegality wage theft by an employer is considered a lesser crime by our justice system than stealing from your workplace.
