Would an ally be willing to go to prison for decades? A reasonable person would say of course not, but here we are. If someone is an ally of Trump's, they clearly left reality long ago

Boomers got you beat for sure, anyone that lived through the cold war.

I also suspect many people don't truly appreciate just how devastating a nuke is - in the sense that hearing "blah blah destruction, mushroom cloud" a hundred times over seems to numb people to the concept. I did a deep dive into nuclear blast videos some time ago, just watching how destructive they are really made me realize I was one of these people who knew, but didn't really "know"

No, I haven't seen them, I've been trying to stick to this fedaverse shit and not go back to reddit.

Post some sources/links brother

They wouldn't stop him. More than Half of them would probably help him do what he wants to do

I meant the maga crowd are the shittiest of people who are also coincidentally susceptible to cultish stuff, it's a double whammy with these people.

Turns out they have always been pro tyranny as long it's their guy hurting the "correct" people...

When they vote for, and are ok with open arms for far right extreme shit, what should it be called?

I know some people might seem to be normal and perhaps moderate, but when you sit down with them and explain some of this shit to them, and they basically are ok with it because they feel the bad shit will only impact other people and not themselves (for example religious persecution - "I'm Christian so I'll be fine") what does one call that?

Yes there is. Some people are more susceptible to cultish shit than others, these are the people who apparently are the most shitty of people who are the most susceptible

"this is unprecedented" as they stand around laughing and waving trump flags

Grammer Nazi's showing up to the party to, nice

The right wing morons don't know that because right wing media never reported it, and they foam spit "fake news"repeatedly when you tell them

Telescopes don't really get too crazy until one wants to get into astrophotography (assuming we want an APO at that point, not before). At that point staying in the four digits is an accomplishment in itself...

But I did learn something when I bought a binoviewer for my telescope, I had to buy double the eyepieces and that was a bit hit that I didn't fully think out

There was a saying years ago that still hold true to today - "Unix is user friendly, it's just selective who it's friends are".

Years ago, I setup an SGI IRIX box for my parents to use, back when Netscape was browser king. I had it so customized for my parents that they still talk about how easy it was to use; problem for me was it took me months to figure out all the config tricks and X customizations to pull it off... Your post made me think of that lol

I bought mine and own it happily - us licence holders should all get together, we could probably fill up a Chuck-E-Cheese

If I have to pick, this range and a copy of dracula X and SOTN rather than a probable disappointment from present day Konami

This is a bad take. Boomers created the internet, Unix, C, processors and other IC's, other OS's, created computer graphics as we know them now, etc etc etc. They are the pioneers we stand on, but each generation has a bell curve.

Millennials start with the same bell curve, I assume a bit better maybe because knowledge is easier to access for those who seek it, but don't confuse navigating an app, and knowing how to Google troubleshooting terms as some form of technical supremacy, if the internet goes away tomorrow, how many millennials will know how to troubleshoot issues or create IC's from rocks?

Bro stop bullshitting us. A casual would not know this much detail 🤣🤣😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Unix Blasphemy!!

I do love X though (not the Twitter rebrand - Motif for life!!). A simple X program is/was so portable, but I guess not many people care anymore.

This is an easy question to answer. Look at Henry Ford and look at Bezos and his type (oh for example Walmart, etc). Ford wanted his workers to be able to afford the product he was making, and he even lost a landmark case because he was looking out for the best interest of his employees and his customers, from wikipedia:

Dodge v. Ford Motor Company, 204 Mich. 459, 170 N.W. 668 (Mich. 1919)[1] is a case in which the Michigan Supreme Court held that Henry Ford had to operate the Ford Motor Company in the interests of its shareholders, rather than in a manner for the benefit of his employees or customers. It is often taught as affirming the principle of "shareholder primacy" in corporate America, although that teaching has received some criticism

It's simple - she was a lowly teacher, and being pregnant is a problem women have that proves they had sex - And women are property in the good book, and a woman only has worth if they are virgins to be sold off as cattle (hence why the good book says a rapist must marry his victim and give her family 30 pieces of silver or whatever it was)

The priests are part of the "upper management" if you will, and there is no physical giveaway that they had raped anyone - nothing grows and becomes unhidable on the priest when they rape and molest children, and therefore they can go along and never address something happened unless forced to address it, and it's only been how many years since the world found out just how bad it's been, and I still think it's only the tip of the pedo iceberg
