Hell most ‘liberals’ i know don’t even know what political theory matches their alignment. I wholly doubt that 20% polled are completely okay with this court giving up… critique of liberal institutions and representatives is a completely different matter than trying to talk down to people who may not fully understand or comprehend even their own positions, even if well intentioned.

The elder liberals I talk with are not filled in, still obtaining most of their knowledge of events through corporate media. That isn’t their fault, but that won’t keep me from vehemently criticizing, for example, liberal MSNBC and their coverage over say a particular conflict in the middle east. Now when they do coverage of Trump, again i will be noting their passiveness and complicity, even when agreeing with their notions. Those disagreements from a fundamentally human point (say war not generally being a good thing) are usually something liberal individuals completely agree with, but do not have an alternative narrative to fall to once they start taking apart and questioning what they’ve been told, therefore they’re less likely to begin with.

The liberals of our representatives, like Chuck Schumer, have absolutely no excuse to turn their back on their constituents, but they have an interest in ‘business as usual’. We should not hold back in our push to remove such spineless, uncaring, nihilistic representatives as soon as possible. And frankly, if you haven’t at the bare minimum written to your representatives, i don’t want to hear what your idea of a strategy is.

I would wager that some American demographics are a lot more selfish than others… I digress, because it doesn’t change two facts:

Media has long manufactured consent (even lying in doing so 🤯, see: Iraq) for various attrocities committed by the united states government, regardless of popular support.

And second, the gutting of social security by bypassing budget approvals (infraction of sep. of powers) and kidnapping of students based on ideology and without due process (just authortarianism) are part of the same issue currently afflicting the US. If for some reason individuals drive a cudgel between these issues, they’re more than either ignorant to or complicit with the issue they whatabout over.

But on that, given your anecdote is taken from a livestream chat, you may be underestimating just how much astroturfing takes place. We’ve known part of the playbook is to completely overwhelm our media intake, desaturating perceived potency of headlines and happenings. I would go as far to take wedging issues like that to be another tactic… as we’ve seen that strategy successfully work to drive flimsy democrats to 180 on LGBT rights.

If you assume the worst of the people you will need to work with, you won’t get to influence them enough to understand the nature of the issue at hand

But hey! We aren’t talking about innocents now being slaughtered by our operations halfway across the world (again)… almost like a recurring theme…

The senate intelligence committee meeting that happened a couple hours ago made me start greying, Tusli Gabard in particular

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo

Now be honest, does that make any sense, at all? It is grammatically correct.

Sounds like a deal then

And frankly I cannot disagree with you, its beyond tedious for some things I had for muscle memory on fusion, its really up to your cost to benefit. My largest necessity was to be able to handle assemblies with parametric parts, and do it without subscriptions or royalties/licensing agreements. Blender maybe could work in a pinch, but I need my designs to be constrained.

All that said, the improvement to freecad 1.0 made me blind to a lot of its quirks, because it was such an improvement for me. I tried so long with early freecad and wound back to fusion again and again. That it was finally useable is what called me over… but that is not the best advertisement, is it? Lol

If you want to be taken seriously, be very sure to use the word turd as a pejorative. It’s very convincing in both your arguments…

You wanted Dems to oppose this? Should have given them power.

When they’re our elected representatives, regardless who is president, and yet they refuse to even touch the power that is bestowed in being an elected representive to… represent…their constituency. How would the result of a presidency change the complacency we are currently witness to? Genuine question, because I dont remember a single repub shutting up over anything during Biden.

Meanwhile Hakeem Jeffries of New York has stayed absolutely silent on one of his constituents who was - without exaggeration (Associated Press) - kidnapped from his home state by ICE agents without a warrant, while holding a valid green card. That is just once example, if we needed the DNCs poster child to hold up our constitutional rights, we were fucked from the very beginning.

When the people who are elected to represent, don’t do the bare minimum in that, of course we should tell them to get the hell out of the way and let someone who gives an actual shit in. You telling to not be critical of the enablers only serves to unleash the offenders, I don’t understand how thats not clear.

FreeCAD! I dont mean to be a evangelist, but it is finally good enough for myself that I made the leap from Fusion, and I haven’t missed it a moment. Your mileage may vary, but now is better than ever to give it a(nother) try

Ubiquitous and Tiamat are my servers, Polyglotal for my home assistant voice endpoint, and some more. Points for the reference

Having fun with the… reverse sealioning?

Quit your bragging, some of actually have reapers up in there

Did you know: all language is fake and made up?

If its goal to is to give scientific minds the hyperspecific hyperfixation they’ll end up wanting to study, I think we could make an exception. Until it peddles bullshit I guess

Well it would still have an impact energy less than that of tsar bomba, and probably just hit an ocean.

Had one come up to me while I was working with chemicals excited about his doge check… then complained about owing taxes. Had to bite my tongue so hard not to tell him gullible was written on the ceiling

Just dont try to spray up your ass, its pretty hard but you dont wanna.

But now you only use three or four squares of TP to dry off instead of fingerpainting shit all up your asscrack until the point you’ve been conditioned to believe is clean enough.

One problem though, shitting at your workplace or anywhere else will be insufferable. My LPT is to take one of the better hand towels and wet it in a sink before hitting up a stall. Thank me later.
