It's not a tu quoque when NK isn't hurting anyone but themselves and the Americans are burning down the fucking planet. One is an urgent situation, the other is political theatre that most of us are unqualified to even analyze due to the embargoes, censorship and pervasive propaganda.

Being worried about rumors that:

they also execute/punish people(and their family members) for trying to leave the country for good or talk shit about their supreme leader

from a tiny, insignificant backwater nation when the so called leader of the free world is disappearing people from potentially every country on Earth, when the most powerful trading nation is intentionally destabilizing the global economy, well it reeks of looking for a distraction. The US government has as much to do with what is happening to NK people right now as the NK government does.

If you are an American, eat what's on your plate before you worry about NK.

We all see and hear what goes on over there.

Bullshit.

You're scraping too hard.

Okay but Americans are numerically illiterate.

I am less concerned with the long term traces we leave. Social interactions are ephemeral (or were, prior to moving them to the Internet) and we are here trying to meet our social needs, not necessarily to Build A Better World. I am all for the things we say naturally expiring and falling out of the record.

What bothers me is how a living conversation can be killed. And in such a way as to make it difficult even to find the people you were just interacting with again, if you don't happen to remember their account ID.

I think it's the only fair compromise. I think we should respect a right to delete. But I don't think that right to delete should be powerful enough to smother discussion. The person who started the communal thread should not have the power to silence everyone who participates.

It's a rigged game. It's like you're at a casino. It doesn't matter HOW you play the game, the casino wins. The way to beat them is not to engage with them at all. Established capital exploits the artist and the audience alike. You have to work outside the system of coercive control to have a meaningful effect that doesn't just get turned back against you. Giving the artist more incentive to stay in an abusive situation ultimately helps the platform more than the artist, as compared to spending the same money through a direct channel.

I'm so sorry, so deeply grieved to tell you, yes, it is. Please educate yourself. It's life and death for hundreds of millions of vulnerable individuals.

It's also horrific animal abuse. Actual atrocity.

Not with the same dollar!! You can only spend it one place. The more dollars you're spending at Spotify, the less of your money goes to the artists.

Getting the artists more money is ALL about not using Spotify.

Excess ain't rebellion.
You're drinking what they're selling.
Your self-destruction doesn't hurt them.
Your chaos won't convert them.
They're so happy to rebuild it.
You'll never really kill it.
Yeah, excess ain't rebellion.
You're drinking what they're selling.
Excess ain't rebellion.
You're drinking,
You're drinking,
You're drinking what they're selling.

Rock and Roll Lifestyle

Spotify loves you for this. And the artists can't perceive it.

ABC results in voting NDP and sometimes Green, Animal Liberation, etc. but not CPC or LPC.

Pretty sure that was a given. Doesn't need to be said.

Yeah. No shit. The LPC is literally a right-leaning party. ABC means ABC. Glad you're up to speed.

Do I understand that you have extracted the flatpak?

I mean... yeah, that's not going to work. It's hard coded to use those paths because it's meant to run in a sandboxed environment.

By "you" I meant "one", referring to the game's developer/integrator. Pardon.

dwaa? you'd have to try so hard to make a game fail if it isn't on the root partition. having trouble conceptualizing it

Maybe I'm being too subtle? Most people see your comment and what they read is, "I was SA'd as a child."

Oh I'm sorry, is it only okay to be shocking and offensive when you do it?
