Why main? m is much clearer

I don’t care which one you use, just don’t change it once it’s established. So many legacy Yocto projects got broken cause open source libraries changed their branch names.

This was one of the arguments when the renaming was first proposed. "Just rename it, it won't break anything! It's only racists that want to keep the name!"

Sure, except for all the CI/CD scripts, release scripts, etc that all have "master" there and are now broken.

I know of a company that their entire CI pipeline was broken overnight because some "helpful" person renamed the branch to master but didn't bother checking out their pipelines...

Not to be outdone, Trump had the following announcement from the White House:

"Today, the USA introduced its new chocolate bar, priced at over $10. Made of 0% cocoa, hydrogenated corn syrup, and trans fats. No natural ingredients, no milk, no vanilla. It's bigly on flavor and very, very, tasty. We are taking pre-orders now at USAChocolate.gov."

Detained in Auschwitz, Jewish inmate still has faith in Hitler’s Final Solution www.bbc.com

Speaking from Block 10 of Auschwitz-Birkenau, a Jewish detainee says she believes “the undesirables will be eliminated.” If Rachel Stein could vote, she would have cast her ballot for Adolf Hitler. She’s a devout supporter of the Führer even now that she’s locked up as an “undesirable” in the concentration camp. “Hitler is doing the right thing because lots of these people don’t deserve to be here,” Rachel told the BBC over the phone from Auschwitz’s infamous labor camp. “I will support him until the day I die. He’s purifying the Aryan race.”

In 1938, she was labeled a “non-Aryan” and stripped of her citizenship. An SS judge revoked her “Jewish status,” which is a common practice. But because she was a devout Christian (and occasionally lied about her ancestry), the judge allowed her to remain in the camp instead of being sent to the gas chambers.

“Better living conditions in the labor camps,” Rachel said, “and shared suffering with fellow prisoners. It’s like a family!”

He seems to disagree that it can't be fixed:

“Starting on Day 1, we will end inflation and make America affordable again,” he said at a campaign event in August.

There are very, very few. I cited some cannabis policy above.

I don't see this happening, but let's say he reverses course and renounces all his past decisions, steps down and the USA enters a new golden age. Should we be totally against that too? For any given position, I try to keep in mind what would have to happen to make me reverse that decision. If the answer is "nothing", then I may be missing something, or maybe I am letting my personal prejudices get in the way of what could be a good outcome.

It's often confusing when someone we really dislike does something we agree with, but it is a thing that can and will happen from time to time.

I look at this similarly to how I view my atheism. If a God were to appear and demonstrate all kinds of supernatural activity and capability, I think I'd have to renounce my atheism. I don't think that's likely to happen, but if it did, I do have a condition where I would reverse my belief.

Same thing with being anti-Trump. I am for now, but there are certain unlikely conditions that would make me reconsider that, should they occur.

LOL! The guy said the trade deal that was made between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico (USMCA) was done by an idiot and had to be re-done.

That was HIS DEAL! HE WROTE IT!!!

Well, he's not wrong...

I have to really, really dig for this one, but Trump's attitude re: cannabis is that it should be up to the states to decide, and has also been quoted as supporting medical cannabis. I think overall, this is a good move, not as good as it being Federally legal would be, but a step in the right direction.

It's just the other 99.95% of the things that he does I don't agree with. :)

Don't fall for the fallacy of binary thinking. A good way to oversimplify your opponents/enemies is to put them totally in another category from yourself. Life is rarely this simple. There's a huge continuum of beliefs and behaviors that fall between these two belief systems.

I recall my acquaintance being surprised that I wasn't for "open borders" even though I voted for Biden. The idea that one could have a belief that is independent of Trump and Biden had not occurred to him.

I will start this out with a disclaimer that I do not follow Christianity at all....

If you are a bible-follower and friendly towards homosexuals, then I guess you're skipping over that part where it says "homosexuality is an abomination".

That's one of the many reasons I can't look to the Bible for guidance. I have some gay friends and they deserve all the love and consideration everyone should get.

To those that say the Bible deserves to be followed, but exclude the parts where it says homosexuality is an abomination, I wonder what other parts you ignore? AFAIK, one isn't supposed to flip through the Bible and pick and choose which sections should be followed.

This is one of the many reasons why I consider the Bible immoral, and following it either immoral or morally and logically inconsistent.

This sounds like it would be something that's an interesting anecdote and a "GOTCHA". Has there ever been any confirmation of this from Grindr? As amusing of a story it is, it's only really useful information if it's provable.

I'm 100% sure that's true for some people, but I do not believe that you can put people into two buckets: Totally against Trump and totally for Trump. I am really disinterested in people that DO fall into either of those categories, as they are beyond reason.

However, I'm interested in anyone that falls outside those categories, as those are the people whose minds can be changed.

Is this lady using her phone while driving, after speeding by 20MPH and thinking it's a flex? If she uses it at 20MPH I'd bet she uses it at 70 MPH too! Couldn't this have waited until she was safely off the road?

Is this why Republican senators keep getting caught kissin' with other men in public restrooms?

I also remember that the USSR was mocked because their citizens had to show papers to move around inside the country. With all the warrantless searches allowed within 50 miles of the border (aka a huge part of the USA) and the huge amount of scrutiny that you face to even fly within the USA, it doesn't seem quite so funny anymore.

I've known this for a long time but I continue to do my best to operate honorably. I may never be rich or powerful, but I sleep very well at night.

Elon has alienated so many people it's not clear he would be able to form a consortium of voters big enough to matter.

To break the two-party system we have in the USA, you'd need to have overwhelming numbers, because both the Democrats and GOP have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo regarding the balance of power.

It's not that easy to get so many traitors to the Union all in one photo. I hope they all have a really crummy time.

Maybe he was looking to get rid of her anyway, so it's win/win.
