We don't need anything aside from the word, and you are right about the Israelis.

But you can go fuck yourself for using divisive language like 'libtard'. One, how are we supposed to work with you or even talk to you when you use such a childish and insulting term? And two, it's not even accurate. Conservatives consistently prove they're the idiots.

Let's just take one example. The economy. Every Democrat in the last 100 years has improved the economy, and every Republican has harmed it. It's because Democrats invest in people through empowering unions and raising minimum wages. Trickle down economics has been proven to not work for almost 60 years now and conservatives still push that bullshit.

It's like that on every issue. You're just wrong.

I see we conveniently are just not going to talk about how the Jew-Nazis are absolutely using this as an excuse to maximize collateral damage to the civilian populace of their enclose open air concentration camp of a city. However you want to justify the genocide this is, feel free, but the world is watching, and sympathy for what the Jews went through during the Holocaust is wearing thin since they've been essentially running their own genocide for the better part of a century.

Dude for real. A cheap bidet attachment for your toilet is the way to go.

First off, a bidet is better than toilet paper. I've been using it for years, and it cleans you 100%. I use basically 1 square of TP to dry myself after, and it's always completely clean. If you had a bird shit on your arm would you just wipe it off with paper and call it a day?

I laughed at all my friends who made fun of me for getting one on all my toilets after the great TP shortage of 2021, and a few of them ended up switching over.

For the apocalypse I have a camping toilet with a foot operated bidet. I mean I already use it when car camping, and I have a hand bidet for backpacking.

Solar panels are also in play. I also bought a freeze dryer and have about 5 deers worth of freeze dried jerky, and buy and freeze dry on sale fruit and veggies pretty regularly. I try to maintain around a 1-2 year supply of on hand food. A few steel plates, ar-15 pistol, and enough ammo to hold off the upper floor for quite a while too, but that's another conversation. I'm as ready to go as I can though, let's do this.

I really miss old school MTV though. I feel like, for a time, bands were doing some crazy music videos that were as much works of art as the music itself.

Ideally we wouldn't sacrifice our ideals of freedom for money. This is America though and we're all capitalist whores first and foremost though.

You're talking about Gaza or Tel Aviv? I've been to Gaza man, 95% of them didn't have clean water in 2014 and that number didn't change up until today. Gaza itself was a hellhole.

The resorts and stuff you see are on Jewish territory. They've destroyed anything nice Palestinians have.

I really wish more people understood the paradox of tolerance.

Which is encouraging. It's been a relatively silent genocide for decades, and while it's good to see people waking up, it's almost too late. Kinda like climate change.

... gonna be honest, not really.

SMB1 is an issue I had to solve in windows too, but that was way easier because all you had to do was enable the package and you were good. This issue of using my external hdd and the driver issues with Nvidia I had with the other distros was just an unpleasant experience all around. The linux experience so far is it takes me hours to do things that it takes me minutes to do in Windows, and issues that were never issues in Windows are issues here.

For example. I have a 55in TV as my secondary monitor. I usually on windows turn up the scaling on that monitor. On linux it doesn't appear that that's possible as the scaling is linked across all screens.

I can work with it for now, but frankly that and other issues are starting to add up and make me yearn for the comfort of a familiar OS. I promised myself I'd do this for a week to see if Linux really is viable to me as an OS though because I'm not pleased about the direction MS is going.

....sorta. I think the better question is to what degree should we be communist? Should people be homeless and hungry in 2023? Do people have the right to a doctor, access to free education, and communication through the Internet as basic human rights?

I'm pretty sure we can do these things, we just don't.

I'll bite.

Communism has always been about the future. When Lenin and Marx wrote their books and birthed their movements, they wrote about manufacturing processes EVENTUALLY eliminating material needs and displacing most people from work. They were kinda right at the time seeing the textile industry replace thousands of weavers with machines and the advent of powered farming equipment. What they didn't account for was the industrial revolution actually adding jobs to the workforce and for a time, jobs being replaced were reliably being replaced with other skilled positions.

But that hasn't been true since the 90s, since then there has been a marked trend towards automation replacing jobs, and slowly, a lot of the human populace is becoming useless.

I think most serious full on commies like myself understand that it's still a future form of governance that's inevitable if we want livable conditions. If we continue to have the almost pure and unbridled capitalistic system we have in the US when automated driving, AI, and general purpose robots really kick off, there will be some pretty serious issues.

Without getting too into doxxing myself, my family runs a construction company and builds houses. Have you seen the concrete 3d printers by chance? My dad was smart enough to get 2 a few years ago. Not only did it cut material costs by about 50% in construction, we went from running a 20 man crew to a 4 man crew when running those things. On top of that we can do what we did in weeks in a few days at best. We still run traditional crews, but those days are numbered, for sure.

We'll need communism because, one day very soon, a huge number of us are going to be unemployable. Hell, DEEP BLUE out of IBM already has a higher diagnostic rate than human doctors. The US Department of Labor and Goldman Sachs are estimating 300mil - 600mil will be replaced with current AI tech, the biggest losses will be in call centers, and what's left of secretarial workers.

Only under an incredibly convoluted and stupidly managed medical program run by public officials who publicly stated they didn't want it.

I'm glad cause the "Ohio 8th" which was 2.8g instead of the 3.5g, because it was 1/10th and was the standard for a "day" of consumption will finally die. As will the stupid an convoluted "days" system, limits to purity of product, so no more limiting strains to below 30% or dabs below 80% purity. No more $200 annual fee for medical cards. No more limits to business licenses so more dispensaries, more production centers, more competition. It also adds the right for a person to grow up to six plants. And to commemorate that I've got a home hydroponic system from Vevor and Mars Hydro on the way, so I'm finally free to grow my own.

The lower prices and less restrictions will finally lead us to recapturing almost $250mil per year in tax $ to Michigan as well. My heart goes out to all the dispensaries in Michigan that are about to close, but damnit that's our tax $.

This 100% ends the BS interference DeWine and the R's have been putting on us. I look forward to the next 30 days and beyond as all this is established. The law goes into effect 12/7.
