echolalia

Why is anyone pretending to care about this? Halloween exists. It never bothered republicans before. There’s no way this was part of a drag performance, the costume is way too lazy.

Trump himself had a really weird video involving drag and it never hurt his campaign. Republicans aren’t going to see this as him being a hypocrite. Nobody cares, literally.

He’s a vaccine denier. Edit: Trump was awful at handling COVID but he was not antivax.

TLDR: On the small island of Samoa, poor hospital management caused muscle relaxant to be administered instead of measles vaccinations in some children and there were injuries and deaths. In the wake of this RFK flew there and spread his antivax nonsense (he makes money off books about this). Afterword there’s a measles outbreak and 83 children and infants died.

It’s pretty hard to compare him and Trump because he never had the power Trump did. Anyone who thinks he’s a reasonable alternative is totally misinformed.

I can’t wait for what John Oliver has to say. The man is a train wreck.

Since you’re not an American, can you explain why you feel the need to comment on this when you don’t really know what you’re talking about?

The fine is from an Ohio state law that is (imho) unconstitutional in the United States. These people have been using their horse drawn buggies on these roads for centuries. The roads they go on are rural. Not interstate highways or autobahn or whatever.

It’s not economically feasible for every country road in the USA to have wildlife mounds/fences because of how vast our country is. Drivers here are required to stop for obstructions, fallen branches and wildlife and if you can’t you’re going too fast. I just don’t buy excuses about this, the Amish aren’t going down the road at 4 am in a blizzard. They’re way more visible than a deer and they have reflectors. I live around here (not Ohio, but basically Ohio), this law is inexcusable and targeting a religious group. It’s also legal to walk down these roads or ride a horse or drive your tractor at 20 kilometers per hour dragging a combine or something. It’s farmland.

The entire county this takes place in has only 50k people. Rural area.

I found that other commenters post about rape distasteful by the way. There are better ways to point out victim blaming.

Ok I’ll say it.

What’s Figma?

It takes a long time to deliver these decisions. The majority opinion is written weeks beforehand, with hundreds of man hours put into it by the justices and their clerks. Alito would have already read and approved it (or he would have joined Thomas in dissent). They heard the arguments for the case on another day, this is just the deliverance of the ruling.

There's a newer article on the website about this person getting booted(?) off Privex because one of their business partners found Privex's response to this writer objectionable. Here is the other article. From just what this person chose to post, it seems they host loli/shota content (drawings). Uurg.

(I did not do any further research than skim the articles he put on his site).

The research itself is... a nice resource. But... if you thought the image the blog writer chose for his article was a red flag, your instincts were good.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, that makes a lot of sense.

I haven't switched to Wayland yet. It makes sense why xscreensaver wouldn't work well with an entirely different window server. I was just surprised it was so difficult (for me at least) to use with modern window managers despite being relevant and mature, haha.

I tried Linux briefly in highschool (around the year 2000) before going back to Windows (I love video games). I switched about 2 years ago back to Linux (Debian). Your comment made me remember xscreensaver and I went and installed it again. The matrix screensaver is a huge throwback, I love it and I missed it.

But it was a pain to do this. I'm using KDE/Plasma on Debian, and I had to follow this process to get it done. My lock buttons built into KDE menus still don't work despite replacing kscreenlocker_greet like the manpage recommends. I'm not sure it's worth my time to try to figure out, since the page warns an update will revert this. I'm not going to remember how to fix it later. I choose to lock my computer with super+L so this isn't a huge issue for me.

The process to use xscreensaver with gnome looks equally bad.

WHY is this so tough, though? Debian "just works" for me, so needing to fumble through this manpage feels pretty lame. The process looks similar on other distros, from a quick google. I'm not an IT person or a programmer, and this doesn't feel very "linux" that it's this way. Why would these window managers replace something that just works?

I suppose it does look a bit dated?

How did you get them out of the chimney? I’d be scared, never know what wild animals will do

I’m not going to spend much time engaging with your comment because you didn’t read mine well.

I did not mention race.

I included mention of gay folks (see non-heteronormative). The “joke” doesn’t work unless the stem major desires being very close to a naked woman, so I don’t find your mention of gay men to make sense.
