I’m also using this, and it works.

Except that this is the argument that hope police give to people screaming to pull the brake. Not just to people black pilled.

Carbon capture and nuclear winter won’t do a goddamn thing if the clathrate gun goes boom, and it is looking like it has:

And that single release, equivalent to two years of human output, is the tip of the spear.

Hope police want to argue that if we are calm about things and don’t point out the dire situation we’re in, we’ll somehow manage.

It’s the same argument as telling a passenger in a car driving towards a cliff at 50 mph, close enough that seconds matter, to not yell ‘CLIFF! BRAKE!’ Because it would demoralize the driver, and should instead calmly inform the driver that we might have some problems if they don’t stop applying pressure to the gas.

Fucking hope police with their unscientific view that honest assessments and factual information are less important than optimism.

The OP’s tweet is wrong.

This is undeniable.

There are certain limits past which feedback loops kick in and after which our actions won’t matter.

XMPP is SOOO much easier to admin.

It does not exist.

I did too with the joplin sync server until, without a failure or any error messages, it ate all my notes.

Having admined an instance with about 200 users, and migrated over to xmpp, I’m never going back.

It is such a beast in comparison to xmpp, and maintance is so much easier, as are full backups.

So most countries should kick out Israel supporters? That beeper attack was a state sponsored terrorist attack.

Switch a millennial to a CLI or ask them to understand underlying technologies or networking and watch the difference between them and xennials for example.

Digital native means they learned how to click next.

Pot.

Cold Turkey is the only way I can quit. It fucked with my appetite to the point that I lost 25 lbs, and I was cranky, and had fucked up sleep for like 3 weeks.

I can’t slowly tapper off. The hardest time to resist getting stoned is the day after I got stoned.

We think he’s an asshole because it how he tries to destroy the thing that actually would prevent monopolies, Linux.

He’s his mad the monopolies aren’t his.

And it is so much fucking easier to admin. Especially if you have a server with open signups.

Thank you for the explanation!

Why is reddit cracking down on mods? Aren’t those free anyways? No piracy required?

The Snowden leaks revealed that simply subscribing to Linux Journal was enough to put you in a list for enhanced monitoring.

Good.

I’m upset that you want to equate ~1000 to ~150000. And it is extremely stupid to think that it won’t be noticed that you think pointing out the disparity between those numbers is the same thing as defending Hamas. Why is that? You still didn’t answer that. Almost like you’re afraid to address that. At least have the courage of your beliefs.

By the standard of ‘civilians have been killed’ every country ever involved in a war is equally evil, which is occipitally not true.

Good job responding to something I didn’t say to try and discredit what I did.

Don’t think that goes unnoticed.

I’m not excusing Hamas. The fact that you read what I did says that you are either responding in bad faith, didn’t read my response very carefully, or are stupid. I’ll go with the middle one to be generous.

I don’t excuse Hamas. I don’t control Hamas, and much more importantly, I don’t pay for the weapons that Hamas use.

I pay, or rather my country pays, for the weapons that Israel uses to bomb apartment building, schools, and hospitals.

Hamas has killed somewhere between 1000-2000 civilians in this conflict, and that is being generous because we know that a large number of causalities were from Israel enacting the Hannibal directive and intentionally killing their own to keep them from being made prisoners (If Israel gets to grab 11,400 West Bank civilians without trial or due process and call them prisoners, then Hamas gets to do the same). Furthermore, if we count anyone who was in the IDF or the IDF’s military reserves as active military, then the number of civilians goes WAAAAY down. Remember that the IDF considers the trashmen, police, and hospital administrators as active combatants with Hamas affiliation. So, once again, if that is the standard that Israel is setting then it applies to all parties, including Israelis.

Israel, by all best estimates, has killed somewhere between 100,000-200,000 civilians. That is between 5% - 10% of the ENTIRE POPULATION OF GAZA. In all honesty, the number is probably higher.

That is completely ignoring the systemized rape and torture camps that Israel has set up, and the Israeli media discovered. Also, something that there is no evidence that Hamas has set up.

Acting like those two numbers are equivalent, or pointing out that Israel is quantitatively a minimum of 2 orders of magnitude worse, or that the two sides are the same is either stupidity, or evil. Take your pick.

None of this is justifying Hamas. It is pointing out how much more fantastically, cartoonishly fucking evil the Israeli government is.

You should ask yourself why you view the above as justifying Hamas. You might discover something.
