It makes my fucking blood boil and I don't even live in the USA. For all the problems your country has, the parks, the forestry, the public land and wild spaces are truly unique and precious assets, even looking at it in a global sense rather than a national one. Something worth defending tooth and nail. So of course Trump would want to destroy all of that, because if he didn't, you could still make the case that he hadn't really irredeemably and permanently ruined every single aspect of the country.

My PC is 15 times faster than the one I had 10 years ago. It's the same old PC but I got rid of Windows.

If you can get arrested and jailed for wearing a shirt saying "from the river to the sea", that means your government is suppressing your free speech in service to the genocidal regime of a different country. Even if you don't care about the genocide, the subversion of your democracy and your civil rights by a foreign power is something that any responsible citizen should be fighting against.

When you've eliminated all other possibilities, it must be the user that's at fault

I'm sorry my mind is stuck on

If gravity is not strong enough to stop a small stream from flowing to its lowest point

I mean... what...

My PC had been running like shit for a while and I was already weighing up options for replacing it, when I got the popup message from MS about Windows 10 expiring, and how my only option was to dump the PC. So I installed Linux out of pure spite. Runs like a dream now. Thanks Microsoft!

Why would you not want to visit a fascist hell-hole where human rights don't exist, the rule of law has broken down, and you can be abducted, imprisoned without charge or deported at any moment just for the crime of being foreign?

"tell Vance he can schedule any time after Monday"

Ironically, what Musk posted is perfectly acceptable ( in and of itself, ignoring the context of the person who is saying it ) since violence or the threat of violence is sometimes necessary to prevent things getting worse. For example, "Ukraine should be helped to defend itself" is a call for violence.

Which is why it's such a bullshit excuse to ban speech for that reason alone. I got banned for suggesting France might help out the USA by shipping over any surplus guillotines. I'm sure they would have no issue at all if I were enthusiastically advocating genocide. Never mind, I needed a push to make the move to Lemmy ; )
