He did a lot, but one thing he did was try to overthrow our democracy. Flawed as it is, it’s still better than not having a democracy at all.

The perspective is that things aren’t black and white. You are making them black and white. There are degrees of bad and Trump is worse. And yes, that’s disappointing. But we still need to keep him out of office because that’s the only actual choice we have in our broken democracy.

That’s no different than not voting at all effectively. Our democracy is a broken system. Biden is the best choice we have realistically and if we don’t vote for him, then we risk having someone so much worse.

Our democracy is so broken that we have to choose between this shitbag and a wannabe dictator. And we really do have to vote for this shitbag unfortunately. Our system sucks.

They stand for whatever the ruling elite that own both them and the conservative propaganda networks tell them to stand for.

Can you appeal a criminal being let go?

Everyone I talked to knew that this was what was going to happen when Broadcom bought VMware. I work in a relatively agile industry so everyone starting moving away from VMware as soon as the sale was announced. But I know a lot industries will be stuck for awhile.

This sounds like it’s exactly what Broadcom intended. They are going to charge as much as they can and companies that depend on it will have to pay until they can move away and that may take years. Broadcom didn’t dig a hole. They triggered a trap on their customers.

Starship Troopers (the book), is only fascist if you assume that anyone that's pro-military is fascist.

In the book, the military is literally in the middle of genocide and killing unarmed families in civilian villages.

And god help you if you forget those 3 lines somewhere and you silently have database failures or something else.

They’re basically fashion victims.

My favorite is “Java is slow” said by someone advocating for a language that’s at least 10 times slower.

Robots and software doing people’s work for them should be humanity’s greatest achievement, but capitalism makes it a disaster and humanitarian crisis.

Horrendous, insulting, out of touch phrasing from her as usual too. The democrats spending years propping her up and then stacking the deck in her favor in the primary are why we had Trump as president. She was the only person predicted to lose to him.

I disagree that it’s more economically health for adults to be their children’s dependents than it is for adult children to be dependent on their parents. Those are both equally unhealthy situations.

Why? If you own your own home, then why shouldn’t your kids live with you?

The cards were great, and I thought I would hate them.

The weird childish conversations and activities really killed the game for me. It was funny sort of. But it was like a 2:1 ratio of bullshit to strategic combat.

The rich lower middle class and up aren’t doing anything wrong here. They’re being offered free lunch and their kids are accepting it.
