Look, Trump and his fascist ghouls are obviously a bigger problems. But let's not pretend like politician such as Pelosi aren't the reason he was able to gain support. This country will never heal or improve as long as we allow the establishment DNC to continue as they have been

all you have to do is keep your eye on what’s about to happen

Doing stock trades in what you think is about to happen is fine. Doing so while you work in Congress regulating the industries that you are betting on is corruption.

I imagine the bullet started out faster than the plane but, since it isn't actively propelled, it slowed down and the plane didn't. So less so that the plane was faster than the bullet and more that the plane was fast enough to catch up with the bullet before it fell to the ground. Edit: or just a totally made up tidbit, this is the internet after all

In real life? Or on twitter? This really just sounds like something that would be on a Facebook or TicToc cringe compilation

The boy who cried wolf is a story where someone repeatedly makes incorrect warnings that the community acts on until they stop believing him. This is like the exact opposite. The left has repeatedly and accurately warned that a specific political movement is fascist and been ignored the entire time. The term was not "overused to the point of meaninglessness" people just dismissed the warning without thinking cause they didn't understand the word and couldn't be fucked to learn or listen

Thank you, I mostly use pacman but have Debian (rasbian?) on raspberry pi and was fully willing to believe I'd been updating it wrong this whole time

Pop-Culture detective also has a good video essay about this too: Marvel: Defenders of the Status Quo (based on work by David Graeber, I believe)

Because that's what being in a position of power does to a mf

Sure, but that is very far from obvious, and very few people who don't already have an understanding of this stuff are going to know to look there. When I search for how to do something on the internet I mostly find 2 kinds of sources: stuff that's way dumbed down (and usually out of date/incorrect) and stuff full of unexplained notation/abbreviations/arbitrary conventions without any links to resources that explain them.

I guess my issue with the man pages is mostly that they just don't try to be approachable to the not-so-tech-litterate folk who might be interested in Linux if we had resources that didn't assume all this foreknowledge.

Nah m8, I'm generally on board with asking people to read the manual, but these unexplained conventions are nonsense. Pages really should be explicit about notation being added to commands that aren't actually a part of them
