The post wasn’t about ordinary women going through their lives in healthy ways. It was about young women influencers and the old men who follow them. The reason why is obvious.

Olhonestjim ,

How about if you don’t care about justice, you go comment elsewhere?

Because the students are already at school. Their financial aid is locked in. It ain’t so easy switching colleges.

Olhonestjim ,

And the revocation of their golden parachutes.

Olhonestjim ,

Then it’s weird that you’re defending him.

You just don’t get it, do ya? The bald guy was louder.

‘My God, Are You Ok?’ Swalwell Confronts Jim Jordan in Committee Hearing for Reposting Bizarre Image of Trump (www.mediaite.com)

What in the hell is this?! The chairman tweets, “Protect our ducks and kittens in Ohio” because he goes down some crazy rabbit hole, completely debunked that aliens are eating pets. My God, are you ok, Mr. Chairman? Because last year, for a very long time, you tweeted and promoted Kanye West as he was calling for genocide...

Olhonestjim ,

It rings in my head every time I meet a Trumper.

Olhonestjim ,

He doesn’t, but we do deserve to have him gone in an instant.

Olhonestjim ,

I would be so happy if the next thing that dies from Trump’s touch is Putin.

Olhonestjim ,

When someone is being genocided they get a lot of leeway in how they defend themselves.

Olhonestjim ,

Yes.

Do you consider castration, rape, and other systematic tortures horrific and to be fought back against with every tooth and claw available?

Olhonestjim ,

LoL wut? Nobody is going to bring war to American soil.

Olhonestjim ,

Yeah, Russia says a lot, and also pays right wing news a hefty sum in order to report their bullshit.

Olhonestjim ,

But he looks so tender, juicy, and marbled. How can we ignore such a tasty morsel when so many have so little, and so few so much? We must waste not.

I could be mistaken, but I believe NASA used the same technique with light pressure to keep Kepler oriented properly as its reaction wheels each failed in sequence.

Olhonestjim ,

I’d be content with Proxima Centauri. But that’ll still take a little while.

Olhonestjim ,

Oh yeah, I remember that one. I feel like it bothered me, but I could swear I knew nothing about solar sails back then.

Olhonestjim ,

I wonder what it’s like getting sued by these idiots?

Olhonestjim ,

Russia shouldn’t have started shit then.

Olhonestjim ,

Russia should get realistic and just wave the white flag already. But Ukraine is not without mercy. They understand if there is no more white cloth in Russia. White cloths stained brown, yellow, and red are still acceptable for surrender.

Olhonestjim ,

I’d love to see another Fallout game like 1 & 2.

Oklahoma revokes license of teacher who gave class QR code to Brooklyn library in book-ban protest (apnews.com)

Oklahoma’s education board has revoked the license of a former teacher who drew national attention during surging book-ban efforts across the U.S. in 2022 when she covered part of her classroom bookshelf in red tape with the words “Books the state didn’t want you to read.”...

No Palestinian Americans Will Speak at Convention, DNC Decides (theintercept.com)

Democratic National Convention officials rejected a request to allow Palestinian Americans to speak from the conference’s main stage. In protest of that decision, a group of “Uncommitted” delegates critical of the party’s stance on the war, staged a sit-in in front of the United Center Wednesday evening as party leaders...

The Uyghurs are being genocided in China. The Rohingya are being genocided in Burma. There are people being genocided in South Sudan, Ethiopia, and Syria. This list is surely incomplete. By absolutely no means am I minimizing the plight of Palestinians in Gaza, and I fervently condemn all such actions.

That said, geopolitics is a filthy, nasty, amoral business, and humans are selfish and vicious. The Democrats are playing the game as best they can. Israel has one of the most powerful militaries on the planet, and they can destroy Gaza all on their own. They are the only nation on Earth who refuse to admit they are a nuclear power. The USA is playing two sides in the conflict; publicly they vow to support their ally Israel. They promise weapons and aid. Behind the scenes they are delaying the regular aid, and the additional aid is scheduled years out. The USA is also divided roughly 50/50 on how to react to this conflict and is forced to play a similar game with the American public, because there are factions here calling for Civil War 2, and wouldn’t that complicate things?

You want immediate solutions, just like we all do. The only solution is convincing Israel to disengage, which is certainly being communicated behind the scenes. International sanctions would help, but international public support must get behind that. Should we move a couple carrier groups just offshore to threaten Israel? Sounds like an option, but what would that do to the balance of powers in the Middle East? What would Iran do? How will China react to such provocations? Will they take the opportunity to distract from their domestic issues by invading Taiwan, the global high tech manufacturing powerhouse? How will it affect the war in Ukraine and Russia? Iran is already helping Russia and brutalizing their own people for advocating freedom.

Conflict between three precarious superpowers vying for supremacy and balancing conflicts between their weaker neighbors. Nukes all over the place. That is a plausible scenario for how to start WW3. Probably something best avoided, exceedingly carefully, and unfortunately, horrifically slowly.

So that’s the situation. Is there anything I missed? Of course there is. There are thousands of factors in play. Take for instance, the fact that military technology is on the cusp of changing completely to autonomous drone swarms. There’s the fact that MAGA is being driven by an Evangelical death cult who are convinced that if they glass the Middle East, they can force Jesus to return for Armageddon. Then there’s climate change to deal with.

Those smaller genocides I mentioned at the start get largely ignored simply because those nations are not major players, or because we can do almost nothing about them.

There are no easy, quick solutions. Geopolitics is a horror show. I’m not trying to convince you to disengage, or accept it, or get used to it. By all means, engage, refuse to accept it, rage against the dying of the light.

But remember that people are engaging in global diplomatic strategy because they too are horrified. Remember that the stakes are calamitous. This is not the democrat’s fault. We are 8 billion barely-not-chimps who have seized the keys to the Universe somewhat earlier than we have figured out there are no gods coming to save us from ourselves. Sh!t just is.

And if you want to see just how bad it can get, there’s always letting Trump turn everything to hell again. It’s mind-boggling how much of our current situation is directly his stupid fücking fault. That’s all a protest vote will get us; more of the worst. Yes, the GOP is horrifyingly worse than the Democrats. You care deeply and that is a wondrous, beautiful thing. We need you. Stop deluding yourself that both sides are the same. Get out and fücking vote.

Olhonestjim ,

Take it. It’s yours.

Olhonestjim ,

Nothing like getting their asses kicked by a woman to stomp their morale in the mud.

Fuck them up, and good luck. Slava Ukraine.

Olhonestjim ,

Record the farts. Sample the audio. Create music.

So what did it take for you to go to Linux? (kbin.melroy.org)

I'm asking what big motivational factors contributed to you into going Linux full-time. I don't count minor inconveniences like 'oh, stutter lag in a game on windows' because that really could be anything in any system. I'm talking, something Windows or Microsoft has done that was so big, that made you go "fuck this, I will go...

Olhonestjim ,

My Surface Pro 4 was getting long in the tooth. My best friend, who uses Arch btw, kept nagging me about switching until he gave me his old laptop when he upgraded. Soon after that, my cat knocked over a beer into it and killed it. So I bought a Framework 13" and put PopOS on it, and also got a Steam Deck. I’m all in on Linux now, except for an old desktop that gets rarely used.

And now I keep my beer on the floor.

There are rumors that Xi has been overthrown and is now only a figurehead.

Olhonestjim ,

Parents, all you have to do is talk near them about how cool X is to you, while suppressing your gag reflex long enough for them to cringe.

Olhonestjim ,

I wonder if any actresses were ever unaware of that role when they played it?

Olhonestjim ,

“Evidently” does not mean what they think it means.

Olhonestjim ,

Russia got a bunch of 1895 Winchester rifles for WW1. They’re the only army ever to field lever action rifles to standard infantry.

Olhonestjim ,

If only. It’s funny to think, but hot air balloons could have been bronze age tech ( they almost certainly never were). All they would need is a giant sack made from fine thread, a source of heat, fuel, ballast, ropes, and a basket. Totally doable, but it’s another one of those things nobody thought of until very late.

Olhonestjim ,

It’s why he’s the only president that the job didn’t age. He took on zero responsibility.

Olhonestjim ,

Why? I don’t get it.

Olhonestjim ,

Is that a joke?

Olhonestjim , (edited )

That isn’t the criteria we use to name newly discovered species.

But you know what IS funny?

Joe Biden isn’t running for a second presidential term.

Yet you weirdos are so obsessed that you just can’t let him go. You wish he was still running. Because now y’all are about to get beat up by a girl.

Olhonestjim ,

The joke didn’t work regardless.

Olhonestjim ,

May you then enjoy the full force of it.
