"We must also be real. We must be honest with the population. Having an armed citizenry comes with a price, and that is part of liberty... We need to be very clear that you’re not going to get gun deaths to zero. It will not happen. But I think it’s worth it. I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year, so that we can have the Second Amendment"


"I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that does a lot of damage."


"They were actually better in the 1940s. It was bad. It was evil. But what happened? Something changed. They committed less crimes." - Kirk über die Jim Crow Gesetze in deren Folge Rassentrennung in allen öffentlichen Einrichtungen und tausende Lynchmorde verübt wurden.

"I have a very, very radical view on this, but I can defend it, and I’ve thought about it. We made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s." - Kirk zu den Gesetzen die eben die Zustände der Jim Crow Gesetze abschafften.


Kirk was asked what he would want his daughter to do if she were 10 years old and pregnant following rape.

"The answer is yes. The baby would be delivered"


"A man who calls himself trans is wearing ‘woman face,’ no different than I would wear Black face trying to be a Black person. It’s assuming an identity that isn’t yours"


"Black women do not have brain processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a white person's slot"


"Engage in reality more… Reject feminism. Submit to your husband, Taylor. You’re not in charge"


"If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, ‘Boy, I hope he’s qualified.’"


"Thou shall lay with another man, shall be stoned to death. Just saying... The chapter...affirms God’s perfect law when it comes to sexual matter"


Sag noch map schnell was Mr. Kimmel alles so schlimmes gesagt hat und was aus dem First Amendment geworden ist.

Correct. It seems to be a given at every election now. This time in the most populated state in Germany, North Rhine-Westphalia in the municipal elections (local representatives in councils and governors). Their votes grew from 5.1% to 16.5%. That's aggravating as AfD usually makes jumps that big only in East-Germany and NRW is usually center left. But it was expectable that the sheep let themselves lull in by populists and eventually choose their own butcher again with some very promising & sane alternatives opposed to the US two party system e.g.

Luckily we have some good liberal and leftist influencers who have managed to pull a lot of younger people out of the grip of the extreme right, but I fear it's way to less influence. We have our Nick Fuenteses too.

My motorola broke recently. Was stuck to an older Android, got security patches very seldomly and no Lineage rom existed anyway.

Had a small Redmi 7A lying around. Installed Lineage and that little thing is running Android 15 now and everything works and feels sufficiently snappy. Antenna podcasts, Drastic DS Emulator (which recently was taken off the store), Nextcloud integration, Aegis Authenticator, Vivaldi, Boost, KDE Connect, DuoLingo, Signal, Mastodon, Organic Maps all run without any hassle. Camera and telephony works perfectly. Will continue using it for a while as I kinda like the form factor and I don't need NFC or other fancy features. A stellar job by LineageOS devs for taking care of such dated hardware. If they accept donations I sure will spare a few eurodollars soon.

I like his over the top super dumb villains in Zoolander and Between Two Ferns.

Same in "Carnage" but damn he's good in those roles. Though the movie was actually carried by Foster and Winslet.

You've fallen for a smear campaign from a group called "Center for Organizational Research and Education" formerly known as "Center for Consumer Freedom". You can look up their other campaigns here and form an opinion about from where they get their money and which groups they target:

This is specifically on the PETA case:

https://crescentcitytimes.com/richard-berman-the-slander-campaign-against-peta/

Yes PETA helped euthanize pets. But so do many many other shelters around the globe every day as they're overflowing from strays and pets from irresponsible owners and scummy breeders. PETA has a video on their website showing that they did it for cases that could not realistically be rescued. Lifelong neglected pets with very little chances of surviving and multiple diseases. Also a reminder, most of us are responsible for killing animals daily. But it's ok as those are bred for it.

A collegue just told me after I repeatedly asked him to repeat himself as I didn't understand him that he always had the problem of speaking to quietly. After his wife told him he regularily tried to speak louder which lead to him speaking to loud and getting complaints on that. Now he's back at the old volume.

I determine within the PKGBUILD (which I view from octopi) the URLs where code or binaries are downloaded from and then if those URLs seem trustworthy, e.g. how many stars or maintainers the github repo has. When the repo is small and doesn't qualify for the latter criterias, I do a git clone and skim over the sources on the lookout for malicious URLs or strange code (never found anything in that regard). Also search for the package on https://aur.archlinux.org/ and look if other users have anything to say and how many votes it has.
