He's also a major problem. Both can be true

Keep on attacking that imaginary strawman. Lemmy .world connected communities as a whole accept the very obvious reality of what the stakes are. In every political thread, this is spelled out over and over because of you "leftists" trying to disenfranchise Dem voters exclusively.

There are plenty of memes caricaturizing you clowns.

Jfc.

It’s the bold text that we accept that a vote for Dems is a vote for genocide. But given no other plausible alternative, and the enormous risk to a plethora of other issues that Trump represents, voting for less genocide is the best option on the table.

I literally bolded it for you this time.

Or if you want me to put in in terms of self:

I support a candidate that supports genocide because they support less genocide than the only other plausible option. Both in Gaza and in Ukraine. And less blatant corruption. And less erosion of rights. And less lynching of minorities. And less open encouragement of domestic terrorism.

There, you got your soundbite. Take the bolded portion and pass it around to your comrads out of context for all I care.

Republicans already destroyed the USPS, so home mailboxes are no better. High likelihood of ballots getting "lost in the mail" until after counting has stopped.

I have had so many problems with our automated rent checks showing up on time in the last few years. I can clearly see our credit union sending them on time, and they're eventually received with the appropriate timestamps, but we're weeks late in arrival.

Your reading comprehension is fucking atrocious, then. Even when Biden was the candidate, the vast majority has been saying "ok, continuing to support Isreal as they commit war atrocities is bad, but Trump would be much worse" for Gaza, and a ton of other things. Like democracy in America, for starters"

There are no lines to read between. It's the bold text that we accept that a vote for Dems is a vote for genocide. But given no other plausible alternative, and the enormous risk to a plethora of other issues that Trump represents, voting for less genocide is the best option on the table.

But you are well aware this. You're just arguing under false pretext to strawman your way to voter disenfranchisement.

See, we can actually read between lines here.

Rofl. As a developer of nearly 20 years, lol.

I used copilot until finally getting fed up last week and turning it off. It was a net negative to my productivity.

Sure, when you're doing repetitive operations that are mostly copy paste and changing names, it's pretty decent. It can save dozens of seconds, maybe even a minute or two. That's great and a welcome assist, even if I have to correct minor things around 50% of the time.

But when an error slips through and I end up spending 20 minutes tracking down the problem later, all that saved time vanishes.

And then the other times where my IDE is frozen because the plugin is stuck in some loop and eating every last resource and I spend the next 20 minutes cursing and killing processes, manually looking for recent updates that hadn't yet triggered update notifications, etc... well, now we're in the red, AND I'm pissed off.

So no, AI is not some huge boon to developer productivity. Maybe it's more useful to junior developers in the short term, but I have definitely dealt with more than a few problems that seem to derive from juniors taking AI answers and not understanding the details enough to catch the problems it introduced. And if juniors frequently rely on AI without gaining deep understanding, we're going to have worse and worse engineers as a result.

Except half the jury would be comprised of people who either support those lies, even knowing they're lies, or don't care enough to form an opinion.

You would need a population that is both concerned with the rule of law and break from political teams enough to fairly examine arguments for bad faith.

We do not have that population. Any jury would be split or worse.

Well? She IS lazy.

She hasn't grifted anything for her own personal financial gain! No shoes, no watches, not even an NFT of herself in stupid poses!

What else would you call someone like that, besides lazy?

Eh. Honestly, the line of "questions" was rather stupid.

"Why aren't you lobbying to make your business irrelevant" is essentially what the interviewer pushed aggressively.

Sure, I get calling out a CEO for deflecting tough questions with corporate BS. But it was a pretty dumb line of questioning in the first place.

Why isn't Google lobbying for privacy protections?

Why isn't Comcast lobbying for net neutrality?

Just make your statement and ask for comment. "Our listeners consider Intuits lobbying against tax reform that would benefit tax payers to be adversarial to their customers. What would you say to them?"

I don't know. I haven't seen the shirt. That's the point.

Just because I agree with the text of the shirt doesn't mean it's appropriate to wear in an enclosed area with a bunch of stressed out people known for drama just like this.

Eh. Intentionally incitive clothing is banned for a good reason. You don't want drama from political rivalry happening in an air bus hours away from an airport.

I don't mind the policy of "STFU for X hours until you get to your destination". This includes people trying to incite you.

Whether or not this is extreme enough to warrant incoming this rule is another matter. As the person you responded to implied, there may be a way to present that opinion in a highly inciteful way thats not fully realized by the wording alone, so they're withholding judgement. That seems prudent.

Stop using his word for it.

Weave implies intent, a pattern reaching a goal.

He meanders. He wanders, taking tangents as they appear in his brain, and he eventually circles back to the topic on the prompter (sometimes).

He Family Circus' his way around in random directions and might make it back home if he's lucky.

He doesn't weave, he meanders.

What stress as president? He just golfs and when pushed for a decision on something, just picks randomly from the options presented. He doesn't even bother understand what the options are. Remember the whole injecting bleach crap? That was him literally glancing at a slide and running with it, obviously with no prior briefing.

Their Spanish channels are ridiculously overrun with right wing propaganda. My wife is Venezuelan, and it's crazy the crap her parents believe. And they are sweet, non-hateful people. But they live in a little bubble where all the news fed to them is through a right wing filter, and they don't believe it because it's not like they're watching Fox News or something.

Another big difference, Biden surrounds himself with competent people who are there to do a job. Trump surrounds himself with yesmen there to pilfer what they can and increase their status in the cult.

Mosquitos are pollinators. And in some parts of the world that have extreme seasons that can't sustain bees, they seem rather important to the ecosystem.

Instead of eradicating them, genetically engineering away the numbing in their saliva that causes the allergic reaction in humans could be a solution.

I'll trade a couple weeks of itchy bites for a briefly painful bite any day.

Sure, humans would kill them instantly on feeling the bite, but most animals are not capable of that. Their populations would be fine.

It's called accepting reality for what it is and doing your best with the plausible options available.

I.E. being an adult

And can ride the grift train for at least a season, and since this is election denial related, every 2 years at the least.

These dicks will sell out our democracy for a ticket on that train in a heartbeat

Like an army man falling in front of a fan
