She’s been pushing for a ceasefire since way before Biden supported it. I think her first calls for it came soon after the conflict started.

V762 Cassiopeiae: am I a joke to you?

To each their own. Personally I can’t stand MS Office, I think Google Docs is easier for most nontechnical people these days anyway. For the rare cases when Office is needed, the web version works fine on Linux.

LibreOffice works great, and WPS Office is proprietary but at least it’s free.

Personally I write my documents in markdown and use pandoc to convert them into PDF or docx or whatever. It’s like writing the source code and then compiling, I like it.

I’m sure you’ve looked into all that, but for anyone else who is interested in alternatives those are my recommendations.

Pfft, proprietary propaganda. How hard is it to let go of every app you’re familiar with, learn half a dozen scripting languages, and memorize a hundred different commands in vim?

What you say is true, though I’ve become so jaded with Microsoft that I don’t think there’s any software or situation I’d use Windows for; I’d sooner switch to Mac.

What do you have against Linux?

A 3.5" cartridge slot with a hard drive reader in it sounds kinda awesome, not gonna lie.

She got 60% of young woman voters, but the enthusiasm was much less. Fewer than 20% of democrats said they were enthusiastic to vote for Hillary.

Who numbered this, Hideaki Anno?

Well we didn’t see that enthusiasm for Hillary so I have no idea what you’re on about.

Also, and I wasn’t expecting I’d have to say this today, women aren’t horses. Additionally, horses are actually pretty egalitarian with their leadership; that’s why they’re such good allies for humans, they don’t mind being led by a person instead of a horse.

Tl;Dr: every part of your comment is wrong.

Also there’s no laws being passed to make it illegal.

That H-O-T-T-O-G-O verse is such an earworm.

Republican Voters Against Trump have been running veteran billboards for a while. The DNC has been running billboards calling him and anti-union scab.

I think the chicken angle hits a bit different though, a lot of people write off everything trump says as just talk, and many attacks seem to get ignored as slander, but the fact he’s unwilling to debate is a plain and uncontested fact, one that makes him look weak.

Whiteness, at least from a racist perspective, isn’t really about skin color, it’s more like a club for ‘approved’ ethnicities. There’s many Italians with darker skin than Mexicans, but Italians are considered ‘white’ and Mexicans are not. Same for large parts of the Middle East and Asia.

Romani are white skinned Europeans, but they’re not ‘racist approved’, so they make up rumors they’re actually from Egypt and omit them from the White Club.

The determination for what counts as white is highly inconsistent. Before the 1700s Germans were not considered white. Before the 1800s Irish were not considered white. For a time in the 1900s Finnish people were considered Asian (while many Finns were striking for better working conditions, what an odd coincidence). Italians weren’t considered white until about a hundred years ago. It goes on and on.

The article is about events in Canada.

Roku has a rechargeable backlit remote with remappable buttons. It’s called something like ‘remote pro’

Guided missiles are usually guided by laser or gps, this missile sounds like it’s more of a fly by wire remote control situation, like a fpv drone.

Like a reverse Enders Game, where the fighters believe they’re fighting a war but it’s actually a simulation. I think there was a Star Trek episode about that, A Taste of Armageddon.

I’m not sure that fire-with-fire strategy is the most effective. At least historically it seems to have mixed results. I think going after their economy makes the most sense: sanctions, refinery attacks, sabotage; hit them in the wallet, break their capacity to continue the carnage.

I don’t really want us to get any further into the murder-drone business than we already are, but it does seem to be the way conflicts are going.

Maybe war could just become entirely drones, so instead of people dying it could be a giant game of BattleBots.

You don’t think she faced an imminent need of self defense in the house of the man who abused and trafficked her? We don’t know the details, but that seems like a pretty threatening situation to me. We can say that she put herself in that situation, but so did Rittenhouse.
