So you’re just not going to vote?

They don’t until their social security checks stop flowing.

Ok bud. Sure thing.

I know the latest thing to call Republicans is weird…but this dude is a whole 'nother level of fucking weird. What the actual fuck.

As a straight dude, my first internal knee-jerk reaction was “this is such a stupid solution to a stupid problem”, but then my mental “Don’t be an asshat because not everybody is like you” guard rail kicked in.

Clearly this is a product for a market of people that it works for and I’m happy for them. Enjoy your neat keyboard thing, long nailed peeps.

You know you’re an absolutely shit person when even MTG is like “woah, that’s too far”. I didn’t even know she had a line to cross because of how batshit crazy she is.

Last night, to my wife: “He’s going to claim ABC was rigged against him and that the debate moderators were slanted against him”

This morning:

So predictable.

Repairable technology with encouragement to repair things that break by designing them to be fixable.

Open source technologies becoming the rule, rather than the exception (this is already the case in some ways, but I truly mean EVERYTHING).

Open Standards that make interoperability easier by removing walled gardens (iMessage, G-Sync, etc).

I…what? What the shit?

People who are this weirdly repressed and creepy about sex and reproduction almost always have something very dark in their past and/or present. I will not be surprised if we find out he has coerced teenage boys and/or girls into sex or something just as fucked up.

Donald Trump doesn’t hate black people. He hates anyone that doesn’t give him money or power. Black people just happen to overlap greatly in that venn diagram because we’ve been kicking Black people in the teeth for decades in America. Treating them like second class citizens with voter suppression, gerrymandering, red lining, racist cops, etc. has taken much of their power away.

Yes

Don’t forget about Hulk “the brain damage” Hogan.

Yeah I could see socialized rental housing. I think socialized rental with individual privatized ownership of things like Single Family/Townhouse Homes would work. Cheap housing for rentals while you save to buy a home.

Home ownership is an important part of building wealth in America, so unless there is a radical shift or we go significantly more socialist in many categories, it’ll still be necessary for individuals to be able to buy a home.

In your mind, though, who would own and operate apartments, townhouses, and single family homes that are for rent?

I’m open to an opposing argument and curious about what solution you’d propose.

Landlords are fine. Corporations should be banned from owning single-family homes and be forced to stick with apartments. Apartments should have rent control.

Probably UBI or my belief that anything over several million dollars in income should be taxed at or near 100%

I’m not even surprised by the racism in the Republican party anymore. It’s just sad how hateful these people are.

It’s almost like people can grow and evolve in a nearly two decade span of time.

I grew up in a Conservative Christian household and was taught to be homophobic, not to trust anyone who wasn’t a Christian because they could be “activated by the devil to work against me at any time”, and grew up with parents who casually used racial, sexist, and other hateful slurs about people.

Now I’m a very strong LGBTQA+ advocate, actively volunteer for my local Democrat’s office doing phone banking, and am extremely left leaning in all of my views.

I’m not saying that’s what happened to Walz, but he seems like someone with a big heart who’s trying to do the right thing. If he’s lying about who he is, I’ll be damned if I can tell. He’d have to be exceptionally good at it to seem as genuine as he is. I’m not saying he’s a saint, though. He is human. He’s going to have flaws.

If you want “Apple-like” look and feel, KDE Neon, Ubuntu, or Pop_OS! are good first Linux distros to start with.
