Nukes. And honestly man the last time the US intervened in NK we didn't leave a building taller than 2 stories standing and killed 25% of their population. I'm absolutely certain an intervention from us would be worse for NK citizens than their current government.

Unfortunately from a US perspective being a sexual minority/trans is left wing by default because our right wingers hate them.

Going to have to disagree with the established science bit, and the left has a long history in western culture. You just don't like it lol

For many topics right wing ideas are just factually incorrect. This isn't Wikipedia's fault.

I'll believe it when it's verified by a third party hacker. Not trusting a bezos org on it's word.

In what way has Iran not won the war? They're basically dictating the terms of ending it.

>he was advocating for removing the blacklist.

Seems like a distinction without a difference to me. If he got his way the website would quickly be overrun with right wing misinformation campaigns. I hope he stays banned.

Neat vehicle but there's no way I'm giving bezos even more money. Maybe I'll buy used if it's proven there aren't always on connections later down the road.

If Putin was a rational actor he probably wouldn't be putting up WWI casualty numbers to capture podunk towns in east Ukraine that few people care about

It's because people in positions of power can safely ignore nonviolence. They can't ignore the other option. Nonviolence on it's own is not productive.

I'm still rocking a couple of 30 inch dell 2560x1600 monitors. They're about the perfect size and not dealing with scaling in Linux is nice. I'd pay a ton of money for a modern equivalent.

No I'm in the southeast US. I see tons of trucks here too but for certain jobs vans still dominate.

That's strange. All the plumbers and HVAC guys in my area seem to drive vans.

The 2.5 hybrid in the Maverick is better than any 4 cyl GM could plop into a mini truck at the moment.

Has your life gotten worse in any way that can be attributed to people moving to the US?

I knew someone would compare me to Uncle Ted but I don't share political ideology with him. I'd just want to live out my life peacefully in nature.

If the option of owning my own computer is taken I'll own old computers. If they somehow take that away I'm giving up and moving to a cabin in the woods.

Glad I use thunderbird for my gmail. I'm sure they'll find some way to make my experience worse eventually.

Depends on where you were during those decades. If you're in one of the unlucky countries that didn't do what the US wanted you likely suffered enormously.

Why did my low-crime red town in a red state buy into flock?

Because my family lives here and I want life to improve here.

An egalitarian society where the means of production are owned (or mostly owned) by the working class. A blend of that and small private industry with heavy regulation would be nice. I like how the Kurds in Rojava are trying to build things but it's impossible to know how successful their ideas could be while they're dodging bullets from Syria and Turkey. The Zapatista movement is another way of doing things I'd consider.

"Firefox will remain our anchor. It will evolve into a modern AI browser and support a portfolio of new and trusted software additions."

reading this genuinely disgusts me. I am so tired of this nonsense being shoved where it doesn't belong. I just want a fast browser that stays out of the way.

Destruction of the system and building a new fairer one. Similar to how feudalism gave way to capitalism, things can improve. What details are you wanting to know exactly?

That bias is well earned. Maybe one day corporations will do enough good things in the world to undo the evil they've perpetuated. I'm not holding my breath.

Yeah I'm aware. Learning about how American capitalism functions is what set me on the path of being an anticapitalist. Reforms and regulations will never be effective here in solving this issue. The system itself is poisonous.

"If you make any other assumption than "I don't know what's happening here and need to learn more" you'll constantly be making these kind of errors. You don't have to have an opinion on every topic."

I can do this and still start off by assuming the corporation is in the wrong. The tendency to optimize for profits at the expense of everything else, to ignore all negative externalities is inherent to all American corporations.

You should consider dropping that instinct. If you look into how corporations have behaved historically you'd assume evil until proven innocent. Especially US corps.

I bet the criteria for being an extremist is not agreeing with everything the state does.

This inspires me to make horrible products and shift the blame to the end user for the product being horrible in the first place. I can't take any blame for anything because I didn't force them to use it.
