You look like you’re here for performance art, not discussion.

So, similar to Biden and his presidency? Let’s paint Pride flags on all the concentration camps and call it good, huh?

Oh you were so close. I'm sure someone else will still be willing to talk to you though.

Dude, please stop passive aggressively posing these disingenuous questions and just state your criticisms and points plainly. You look like you're here for (trolly) performance art, not discussion.

My apologies for allowing my general cynicism regarding online discussions to color my perception of your tone. 🙂

Well, they are going to have to do everything perfectly. One screw up of any kind and for the next ten years every discussion of diversity or women in leadership positions is going to include a Republican saying, "Yeah, well just look at what they did to St. Paul."

Am I going to find you railing about DEI in other comments if I trawl your history? I haven't, but this is worded like the kind of complaint that comes from someone who normally thinks diversity is awful, except when it's old white guys being excluded.

It's not about sounding intellectual, it's about recognizing that Trump's behavior leads directly to these actions. Yes, magas are little bitches about everything, but those little bitches aren't randomly fucking shit up, they are doing so for their leader and in direct response to his rhetoric and wishes.

I didn't know that, but it clearly worked well enough. 😬

The phrase you’re looking for is “stochastic terrorism”

(that's not snarkiness from me, that's the title of the article)

I didn't post to disagree with you, just to drive home how damn ridiculous this AG is. Sure, the law is effed, but this guy is right out of 1984.

Timothy McVeigh seems to have proven that far right whackos are very capable of building a good bomb. Be careful what you wish for.

Honestly I see elections as voting for your preferred enemy. They are never on our side. How about this, we agree that he’s better than Trump and that any reasonable person is forced to vote for him, and then we criticise him because we want better than neoliberal austerity and genocide apologia?

You get no argument from me.

Well fuck all those artists and writers who made the original works then I guess. Licensing is impractical.

These folks are pissing me off a lot less since events such as this:

That's literally and explicitly the point.

From the end of the article:

In a brief submitted by the State of Florida in support of Escambia, Attorney General Ashley Moody argued that the school board could ban books for any reason because the purpose of public school libraries is to "convey the government’s message," and that can be accomplished through "the removal of speech that the government disapproves."

They keep sayin' we're free, but we're all just loose.

Check this bit from the end:

Oh yeah that would piss me off.

My last epson experience was about 5 years ago, (edit: holy cow maybe more like 10+ years ago. why does time go so fast?) so they may have gone downhill, appreciate the update. I had 2 in a row and both were good with Linux support and general lack of fussiness.

I have wanted a good nelson gif. Thank you!
