It's called millenarianism. Originally in reference to christians like those described who anticipated Christ's return in 1000 and then 2000 AD. A millenarian outlook is an ultimately narcissistic assumption that one is living at the cusp of the end of history. When really, it's usually just because we lack the ability to imagine what life will be like beyond the present historical moment.

I guess I should have written "If you want to never have to use a cli" instead of "If you don't ever want to use a cli", as I didn't mean you have to want to use a cli to use linux. I meant that one has to be OK with using a cli, accepting of the fact that they have to use a cli.

An at least superficial understanding of the cli is an essential part of using linux. If you don't ever want to use a cli, what are you doing pursuing linux? Do you just want a free version of windows? Go pirate windows.

Some Canadian outfit should try selling "11th Province" or "4th Territory" merch to us Oregonians and Washingtonians. We'd buy it.

Both sides have resorted impressment to refill their ranks, regardless of public pushback men can still get bagged into a van on the street and sent to the front lines.

They're falsely equating ideology to ethnicity.

He was quickly ousted from his position as a popular and respected Minnesota senator during early #metoo, for accusations that you'd never imagine a Republican resigning over, allegations in fact that have failed to take out other more core-party Democrats (Andrew Cuomo comes to mind, he still has a millionaire warchest and is running for NYC mayor this year with full support of the DNC). Democrats fall easily for the virtue olympics.

Nobody should ever get the death penalty. Capital murder is a symptom of a fucked up society.

Death By Hanging (1968)

They did this to the anarchist assassins (And accused assassins) in the 1930s, too. Started summarily deporting people en masse for their beliefs or presumed beliefs, and executing people after brief appearances in kangaroo courts. Honestly if Germany hadn't gone Nazi and basically dragged the us into a war with them, we would have done it instead.

Another year, another round of ODOT trying to push the same regressive and wildly unpopular project on Portland that they've been trying to push for over a decade... Sometimes it feels like we're living in Attack On Titan, but the titans are ODOT with the I-5 plan. They just keep on coming.

Makes one think about proposing a ballot initiative to rewrite ODOT's mission statement.

Feet are preferable when possible. However they don't work for some people, and they do give out at a shorter distance than most other modes.
