It's absolutely a big deal. Normies getting propagandized by capitalists are how we got fascism, and no amount of "making niches for ourselves" will save us from that.
It still is; that rule never got amended. The entire US Army runs on a loophole, getting "reauthorized" each year. (The Air Force and Space Force too, I guess, since historically speaking, those are technically spin-offs of the Army.)
The Navy and Marine Corps are properly Constitutional, though. Frankly, that's the loophole they should've gone with instead: calling all ground troops "Marines," and all aircraft "Naval aviation."
If you scream into the abyss, you'll get water in your lungs and drown.
If you stare into the void, you'll just see stars and stuff (as opposed to staring into the abyss, which is mysterious and unsettling because you actually can't see through it very far).
FYI, most of the bigots and fascists are outside the city limits these days. Please burn down the suburbs (especially OTP -- outside the Perimeter, i.e. I-285) instead.
Why are you strawmanning his argument? The point is about all the things other than "changes to national policy" the Democrats can do, including obstructing negative changes to it.
In order for it to be "infighting" the "but muh Democrat genocide" concern trolls would have to actually be on our side, not fucking fascist Trump supporters commenting under a false flag -- or at least useful idiots whose verbal diarrhea amounts to the same -- that they actually are.
Frankly, the real correct action here would be for the mods to remove the disinformation and ban the trolls instead of continuing to try to engage with them in good faith. I guess good on @jordanlund for having so much patience, but it's almost too much for his own good.
The people who don't support genocide are the ones who voted for harm reduction (i.e. Harris). Protest non-voters are the ones who love genocide so much they acted to ensure Trump won.
If you want to see cognitive dissonance, look in the fucking mirror.
The “standard” is ostensibly the HTML spec and such, but in reality whatever Chrome (and Firefox/Safari) renders is the standard.
This is why it's vitally important to use FIrefox rather than any Chromium-based browser (even ostensibly "degoogled" ones), BTW: we need a robust diversity of browser engines to prevent Google from having hegemony over web standards.
but isn’t that inefficient given that most of what people do on computers is browsing the web?
Why, yes, yes it is!
And now you understand why these days we use multi-core, multi-gigahertz processors to do a lot of fundamentally the same things we used to accomplish with single-core processors with speeds on the order of megahertz.
(Just wait 'til you find out about WebAssembly, LOL.)
Are you suggesting something like LineageOS is a better choice?
(Seriously asking: I've got a new-to-me Pixel that I'm looking to switch to a degoogled-ish ROM on, and Graphene and Lineage were the two front-runners.)
We need to bring back meta-moderation, kind of like Slashdot had.
