  • Since journalism! Here is his take quoted directly

    [On the failure of libertarian politics]

    The decade that followed — the roaring 1920s — was so strong that historians have forgotten the depression that started it. The 1920s were the last decade in American history during which one could be genuinely optimistic about politics. Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women — two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians — have rendered the notion of “capitalist democracy” into an oxymoron.

    And his ""clarification"" of the obvious misogynism in the original.

    It would be absurd to suggest that women’s votes will be taken away or that this would solve the political problems that vex us. While I don’t think any class of people should be disenfranchised, I have little hope that voting will make things better.

    Emphasis mine. You're to telling me, that even in the beginning questioning the notion of womens suffrage isn't inherently misogynistic. And then follows that up with "nono we shouldn't disenfranchise, BUT I don't believe in democracy anyway" for his retort. I would love to live in your alternate reality where you can defend Thiel to begin with.. I thought MLs want to eat the rich.

  • Yeahh probably the smart move, I went ham acquiring some overkill hardware for relatively cheap, and now the power bill is making that evident 🫠

    It has been fun playing with a setup like this, but you definitely don't need 128gb RAM to run the measly services I've got, though game servers would be a blast.. if I ever had time

  • Hell most 'liberals' i know don't even know what political theory matches their alignment. I wholly doubt that 20% polled are completely okay with this court giving up.. critique of liberal institutions and representatives is a completely different matter than trying to talk down to people who may not fully understand or comprehend even their own positions, even if well intentioned.

    The elder liberals I talk with are not filled in, still obtaining most of their knowledge of events through corporate media. That isn't their fault, but that won't keep me from vehemently criticizing, for example, liberal MSNBC and their coverage over say a particular conflict in the middle east. Now when they do coverage of Trump, again i will be noting their passiveness and complicity, even when agreeing with their notions. Those disagreements from a fundamentally human point (say war not generally being a good thing) are usually something liberal individuals completely agree with, but do not have an alternative narrative to fall to once they start taking apart and questioning what they've been told, therefore they're less likely to begin with.

    The liberals of our representatives, like Chuck Schumer, have absolutely no excuse to turn their back on their constituents, but they have an interest in 'business as usual'. We should not hold back in our push to remove such spineless, uncaring, nihilistic representatives as soon as possible. And frankly, if you haven't at the bare minimum written to your representatives, i don't want to hear what your idea of a strategy is.

  • And frankly I cannot disagree with you, its beyond tedious for some things I had for muscle memory on fusion, its really up to your cost to benefit. My largest necessity was to be able to handle assemblies with parametric parts, and do it without subscriptions or royalties/licensing agreements. Blender maybe could work in a pinch, but I need my designs to be constrained.

    All that said, the improvement to freecad 1.0 made me blind to a lot of its quirks, because it was such an improvement for me. I tried so long with early freecad and wound back to fusion again and again. That it was finally useable is what called me over... but that is not the best advertisement, is it? Lol

  • FreeCAD! I dont mean to be a evangelist, but it is finally good enough for myself that I made the leap from Fusion, and I haven't missed it a moment. Your mileage may vary, but now is better than ever to give it a(nother) try

  • Had one come up to me while I was working with chemicals excited about his doge check... then complained about owing taxes. Had to bite my tongue so hard not to tell him gullible was written on the ceiling

  • Just dont try to spray up your ass, its pretty hard but you dont wanna.

    But now you only use three or four squares of TP to dry off instead of fingerpainting shit all up your asscrack until the point you've been conditioned to believe is clean enough.

    One problem though, shitting at your workplace or anywhere else will be insufferable. My LPT is to take one of the better hand towels and wet it in a sink before hitting up a stall. Thank me later.
