Yeah Lincoln was WAY more pro-union than anti-slacery.

They were never defending anything. Their victims just decided to fight back.

No, they really would not have.

At best if you generously count right wing third party voters too (like Robert Kennedy voters) she would've won two more states but that would not have won her the election.

That's.... Not how US elections work. Otherwise Hillary would've won 2016

Looking at the state results it doesn't appear that any state would've flipped blue if all third party voters excluding Robert Kennedy and Oliveros (libertarian) voters because they definitely would not have gone Harris went Harris. Even if you count the right wing 3rd party ones she only would've won 2 more states and still lost.

If we used the popular vote I definitely would've voted Harris, but as it is Trump was going to win my state by huge margins so I just voted who I really wanted knowing it made no difference. In races other than president I went Dem.

I'm talking about people who otherwise mostly agree with you can we not be obtuse?

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 10 points 2 days ago (16 children)

Even IF that's true it's still terrible. What do you think? You're gonna chastise people into agreeing with you? Is some "holier-than-though" attitude gonna do it?

Really just seems like a circlejerk

I swear to God it's the same 5 accounts on Lemmy posting this horse-shit take.

Like - all the third party voters combined would not have kept Trump out of office. Give it up. It's nonsense and frankly pretty sad.

I don't know all the context with that but this tweet isn't some outlier. The only reason she cares IS the racist language. That's what she's advocating for here.

No this person is proud of it. Completely vile. Her response to this was to call it a "w".

If you need further samples:

Edit: apparently the dude may have deserved to be punched however take a look at her profile - it's the racism she's cheering not that

Puerto Rico? Miami? Texas? All hurricane prone areas with huge Spanish speaking populations. Parts of Miami like Hialeah have over 90% of households speaking Spanish.

This is a bilingual country. We have the second most Spanish speakers in the world only behind Mexico. Learn some Spanish it really won't fucking kill you.

Wait there's a Walkabout community on Lemmy? Sick.

 
 

I don't like making new rules, however due to recent events I have unfortunately been forced to create this one.

For further context, please refer to this thread.

If you have any comments or concerns, I would love to hear them.

 

This release mostly includes some minor fixes in the background, however a major release is imminent in the next few months.

You can see the full changelog here.

Turns out dryers are pretty simple and mostly all decent. It's the washers that are more complex and you should choose wisely.

I spent like 4 days looking at videos about dryers anyway. It's like, the most exciting thing to happen this month.

At least my clothes come out dry in one cycle now.

 

My Ender 3 S1 just does anything I ask of it now that I have Klipper and a glass/mirror plate and tuned it.

It's kinda boring tbh 😂 I WANNA TINKER

 

Install F-Droid and Aurora store to get access to whatever Android apps you'd like. Pair a bluetooth keyboard and install your favorite apps.

I can use voyager (made by the excellent @aeharding@vger.social), with a browser window a YouTube window, and more open at once and floating in my real environment with passthrough. You can interact with apps by literally touching them (controllers are def better when you need to be precise or you have the app far away but hand tracking is more than good enough to do anything). You can get up and walk around and carry an app/window with you.

I'm writing this with this setup and thinking this could actually replace a tablet for some people. It's definitely better for multitasking.

I've also tested the new Windows 11 linking and it works really really well. The latency is super low, low enough to fool me into thinking it's wired. And the screens ACTUALLY rearranging according to how they are in VR so your mouse always moves across VR screens perfectly is an awesome touch that's often missing from other solutions.

 
 

Skipped over 0.19.6 as I heard a bugfix quick patch was coming and it is now here. 0.19.6 has all the changes, 0.19.7 just has a few bugfixes. Very few user changes. There's now a "controversial" sort mode. Most other changes are back end stuff like improved federation performance.

I'm actually not afraid of printing things larger than a few square inches on the bed.... Waited way too long for this. Tightening up the eccentric screws on the bed carriage so it doesn't wobble also helps.
