  • No one here is rooting for genocide

    Literally the Democratic leadership is. They're even doing more: they are funding it.

    It's not good, but it's better.

    I agree it's better, but it's still not good enough for me to vote for. I understand why people held their nose and voted for Harris, but I was unwilling to do the same. We have different standards. I've seen the Democrats continuously fight against the policies that I want, and so I chose 'nah' over them. So did a lot of other people, so maybe they should incorporate that into their strategy next time.

    if you want to actually mitigate this shit storm as best you can instead of letting idealogical purity fuck you over even more.

    I find this hilarious coming in support of a party who chose the ideological purity of genocide and money, instead of chosing a popular stance and winning the election.

  • Yeah, that is how it works. I don't fight against genocide because I think I'm going to win, I fight against genocide because I think it's evil. You may be OK with genocide, but I'm not.

    Additionally, genocide is just 1 out of ~50 other things that I'm against, that Harris stood for. Why should I vote for a candidate that's proud to stand with the Cheneys? Or a candidate that wants to continue to be a "leathal fighting force"? Why should I vote for a candidate that thought bombing children was OK? Or a candidate that proudly stood behind a rapist?

    Yes, I proudly stand against genocide, and all of those other things. Maybe the real issue is that the Democrats shouldn't run in favor of them.

  • No, I didn't vote for either. It was pretty easy to vote against Harris, while also voting against this. Maybe next time the Dems should run a candidate that at least pretends to care about what the voters want. That tends to help in elections.

  • I'm happy she lost, but I'm also sad that Trump won. Why should our choice be between to pro-genocide candidates?

    Maybe the next time the Dems should try something new and run a candidate that campaigns on what the voters want.

  • I was using Khan Academy when they went to AI. Suddenly my answers were being marked as incorrect, even though they matched the "correct" answer presented. Or they were marked incorrect becuase I used pi, when it said I could answer in terms of pi.

    I'm expecting the same to happen here.

  • I agree with the above, but I also want to be able to buy movies. I love having video-files on my storage server. I want to support the creators of the movies that I like. I wish I could go to flowthemovie.com and buy a DRM-free copy of the movie.

    I don't pirate games, because I don't have to thanks to GoG. I don't pirate music because I don't have to thanks to Bandcamp. I wish movies could be that easy.

  • One of my favorite examples of this: Leviticus 11:13-19

    "These are the birds you are to detest and not eat because they are detestable: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture, the red kite, any kind of black kite, any kind of raven, the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk, the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl, the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey, the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat."

    Most of these are either scavengers, or eat rodents which carry diseases that are awful to humans. The societies that ate them didn't tend to last long.
