Me? Own WHAT? A lifetime of never supporting mass murderers? I'm not the cog in the genocidal system, fuckwad. Own the fucking mass murdering politicians you keep voting for out of your own self-instilled sense of helplessness. A world of people like me actually WORKS. A world of people like you dies in a rapidly approaching nuclear holocaust. And the most insufferable part of all is you actually presuming to speak down on US. That's a firm "fuck you", to you, from me.

First, our entire system is made up. The fact that we've spent centuries entrenching traditions and imaginary institutions around it has no bearing on the fact we could collectively throw it out tomorrow. Second, there were options besides D and R in the election, regardless of whether or not the population collectively chopped its own dick off and decided not to vote for any of them out of paralyzing fear of the other party winning.

Think the main point was, "let's not, as a population, vote for ANYONE who commits genocide." But noooooo. That was too much to ask.

A subtle reminder that it's not just corporate greed, money itself has actually increased dramatically in supply.

Anyone else remember when they got their last equally distributed proceeds from inflation check in the mail? Me neither.

Not quite what I mean. The way that control is orchestrated between the whole apparatus for the moves of the machine to function synchronously (media support of wars, wars happening in a way that benefits the largest companies, etc.).

For example, the way that even CNN seems to just be reading from a script re: manufacturing consent for the Palestinian genocide. It's beyond something like "they'll lose their White House press credentials if they don't play nice".

I do think the behavior of the system definitely suggests central management instead of any, like, uncoordinated class interest behavior. But at the end of the day, if you fix the structural problems, it doesn't even matter.

A lot.

Some Elgato hardware is supported by OBS, FYI. IIRC the HD60+ or S+ or something.

Your arrogant framing that he's "ignoring" some "realistic" choice - Dem vs. Repub - is simply an idiotic restatement of the circular reasoning that, "we will only vote for the duopoly, because we will only vote for the duopoly, because we will only vote for the duopoly, [...]". This self-defeating thinking, when adopted by the general public, completely neuters the public's democratic recourse against a tyrannical system. We are not ignoring anything. We have heard this reasoning you're using, and have understood and described the problems with it, over and over again. You are ignoring the real problem - an oppressive political system that's methodically stripped any power from the people, using useful idiots like you to attack any attempt at democratic expression.

There is no legal enshrinement of the two party system. Nowhere is it written in law that only Democrats and Republicans can win elections. Ballot access, which isn't even required to win an election, is granted by petition and filing paperwork. The only thing stopping a "third party" from winning is the public's self-inflicted unwillingness to vote for them, stemming solely from partisan fear and ignorance. And, consequentially, after the support has been whittled down sufficiently, the media refuses to even cover them, compounding the problem.

Trivializing genocide is psychotic. If the wholesale slaughter of an ethnicity is meaningless to you, you have no ethics, which means you have no selfless thinking when it comes to politics, which means your opinion is absolutely worthless. Political analysis requires caring about the fate of humanity. If you're only interested in your own benefit, or some benefit of a group you delusionally limit your empathy to, you are literally incapable of analyzing politics objectively. I mean this not to insult but literally to say, this is a complete disqualification of you ever talking about politics. You do not have the skills or motivation required to do it.

Can vs. will

I've been using the term "fascist" to describe Democrats for quite some time, because really looking closely at the definitions/characteristics of fascism and how this society works - you have this economically and structurally enforced racial supremacy, you have the nationalism, the militarism, the merger of business and state - the fact that Democrats pay lip service to leftism doesn't really change it. Democrats haven't really changed in the last two years, rather, the genocide of Palestine just laid bare who they were for us.

Between computer and device running Android.

The first people to blame are Trump voters. The percent of Trump voters who were whatever ethnicity, is pretty much the percent of that blame that they deserve. Fixating on Arab voters only - whether Trump, Harris, Stein, De la Cruz, whatever - is sick. Same principle goes for Dem voters - the second group to blame - who actively supported a genocidal candidate, at the expense of third party candidates who weren't gearing up for mass murder, or throwing the election to a mass murderer, or whatever BS Harris was up to.

Funny how they find themselves on the same side as Republicans and Zionists - blaming the Palestinians for their own genocide. Different path to get there, but the same destination.

Adb is just an interface between computer and phone, the packages it lists may not be every system component, you can add anything in at kernel level, or also just not list it in that interface.

IIRC somebody said the eMac computers like this were actually really good for their age. Either the iMac shaped ones like that, or the ones with the half-sphere foot for a base.

Not if they're baked into the system. Although that may get into GPL violations, I forget. God knows a device can come with locked firmware though.

Can't even hear her talking with the song but there's a good basic idea here. Rice milk (or even cooked and mashed rice), coconut milk, also oat milk (?), maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, heated up. Real winter drink.
