Well said, Humans are social creatures, everyone wants to feel accepted and like they matter in their community. When you aren’t getting that, you get extremism.

Like seriously, I despise the right, especially the people using it to influence and gain power knowing they dont believe their own bullshit they’re spewing. But we have to extend these people olive branches and try meet them somewhere or they will just go farther into their echo chambers. I’ve had a hard time putting that into words here on lemmy and its been frustrating bcz the sentiment around here is ‘the only good nazi isna dead nazi’, and then every MAGA person is lumped in that group (and for the record anybody reading this, I agree with the sentiment). But these MAGA followers aren’t the nazis, the leaders are, and the people in government. These are people who have been duped just like the rest of us. And we’ve all somehow bought it hook line and sink. This isn’t just fascism, its class warfare, and the billionaires are winning right now all around the world.

A van you say…what van?

Yeah, I did the same thing at first. Did the half head tilt thing and didnt finish reading and was like, uhm, am I readinnn that right? Oh.

Thats a…uh, interesting name you got there.

Thats basically a doctor, you can use WebMD right?

Its weird to see them push back on this one when this stuff will get into the groundwater and other shit of even the billionaires. You’d think they at least care enough about themselves to ban stuff that will kill and harm them too.

If you have a main and a master branch in the same repo and you don’t delete one at the very start of the project, God has abandoned the living bcz we’re lost and he has forsaken all that is good in the world.

Sure, but its also weird to insinuate that being a government employee of any kind means having meetings about meetings to decide if youre going to have a meeting about doing something.

Not to get super off-topic,…but who is Adam and why should i care that he eats ass?

Do you think only the government works that way with the whole meetings thing? Corporate america is like that as well, maybe worse even. And actually, I work as a federal contractor doing software stuff, and I dont attend meetings about meetings. Some of us, actually, most of us do have real shit to get done when they go to work.

TLDR: Meetings about meetings about meetings is for beaurocrats, not scientists and engineers.

I live in the U.S., how do I boycott American goods exactly? I cant just buy all foreign…

A sample size of one isn’t something you draw conclusions from. That’s just bad science. Now if you said you work somewhere that everyone is a Trump supporter, 50-200 people, and they’re all saying this, then yeah, I’d believe you. But, a sample size of one, come on man.

Oh noes, anyways…

Yes, how do I pick and choose the parts I like if I dont have a bible?!?

Right, pick and choose the parts of the Bible that you like. That way its exactly as cruel as you want it to be…

How do you think they identify people in the dark, maybe street addresses? Either way, its not good news.

I love being dehumanized. There’s at least half of America that doesn’t support this crap, and voted against it. But yeah, we dont deserve anything.

This is nice in theory since everybody hates those assholes at 1am lighting off fireworks still. But, using a drone to find people in the dark, identify them, and fine them, there is so much worse shit this will be used for. And we won’t be happy when the fascists come knocking bcz of this technology. We reap what we sow i guess.

I sort of understood the words the article said. But I’m not sure if I understand how important it is. I feel like they’re hoping someone else will use their work to make either CERN better with some engineering, or a new particle accelerator. So this work alone can’t do much.

He’s not wrong, there are people disillusioned with both parties. But if Elon thinks we’re all idiots, and will flock to other nazi party, I’ve got a bridge to sell him.

Maybe some of the center right, and magas who’ve been personally wronged by the Trumpsters will swing that way, but he’s gonna find the left isn’t quite as stupid as he thinks.

Split the vote ding dong, go on, do it. I dare you.
