So what can change foreign policy, Tony? Nothing? It’s just set in stone from here on out?

If Trump wins, it’ll be because the audience didn’t clap for Tinkerbell hard enough and they should be ashamed.

I’m happy to take suggestions on ways to improve my communication style for ND folks. I’ve been marinating in the hexbear house style to the point where maybe it’d be beneficial to take a step back and reflect a little.

That said, it doesn’t appear that OPs issue here is with people sounding like reactionaries, it’s more against the performative misanthropy of comments like “Kamala voters get the pit.” I’m inclined to read that charitably as venting and not as a literal call to murder millions of people and respect the fact that the people engaging in that rhetoric online might be perfectly normal in real life. I think this election in particular has ratcheted up the pressure on all of us to stay sane against a deluge of propaganda, some of which we deliberately seek out and expose ourselves to by getting into dust ups with other instances, so I can’t say it’s entirely healthy.

I just wonder if these sorts of drive by posts where the op doesn’t really interact are actually helpful and change minds or if they’re just ways of getting approval and self-soothing after an interaction on here goes sideways, and I’m not sure that’s happening along an ND/NT divide.

It may be a reference to Trump’s Muslim ban.

Why are they not grateful for the free advertising?

If they work very very hard, when they run for president!

The dumbest thing is that she keeps repeating them. She has to make sure that she never shows her back in public because people will see the ring and the cord.

Excuse me, I’m speaking, please wait your turn.
Well when is my turn?
How about never?

The idea that her father is a Marxist is a myth. He disavowed the idea in an interview.

I feel like a lot of these callout posts that are definitely directed at specific people would be solved with the understanding that everyone on here understands the difference between Hexbear and real life and that rhetorical hyperbole exists as a means for commiseration and venting. Does it occasionally get a little extreme on here? Sure. Should you be concerned that we’re all baying for blood in the streets? Nah.

GOOD mods

Yeah but Trump wouldn’t call them “Humanitarian Bubbles.”

To reignite the hope of the emerging generation, Ms. Harris should make a sweeping national call to both military and civilian service

Alas, in the long (checks notes) 0 years since the US had the world’s largest and most active military our youths have been vitiated! Where will we find conflicts to harden them back up?

I had to get Everywhere and turn off the native search service because it kept thrashing my RAM (I have 24 GB! What was it doing?) and StartAllBack (worth the $5 for a license) to restore the ability to move and customize the Taskbar.

I just logged a 10 hour workday trying to troubleshoot a web app my workplace has only to discover one of the required Python packages only works correctly if compiled on Linux so I am packing my bags and moving to dual boot land. I’ll deal with the hassle for MS Office because there is no escape, but I hate Windows 11.

Freeware: freely available software.
Shareware: paid software with a demo
Vaporware: software or products that are highly touted but never gets finished.
Stoneware: hard ceramic vessels and utensils, usually with an uneven or rustic finish.
Butchware: ???

“Are we going to stop and reflect over the rivers of blood spilled just to achieve this one moment of pointless retribution? Oh, looks like we are going to dance in the street, instead. Cool. Love that for us.”

“Look at how resource-starved the DPRK is!”

Instant classic.
