irrelevant - everyone knows and agrees. that doesn’t change that this election you have exactly 1 choice

politics is shit. until you have other options, you have to live in the world you live in and not a fantasy

this has the same logic as saying npm install takes a while so just don’t use libraries

nuclear is neither about having, nor using the weapons … it’s about the fear of future use of weapons

silence isn’t helpful in that endeavour

that’s called politics mate, and since it’s varied and complex - obviously so - i refuse to engage because i no longer believe you’re acting in good faith

the way you do for literally anything else that becomes policy… discussion is an absolute requirement to forming policy. it is, without exception, the only way to start making any change

what comes after that is varied and complex

are you literally questioning whether concrete policy comes from discussion? do you think 1 guy just snaps his fingers and makes it so?

politics doesn’t require 1 action… politics and swaying large groups of people requires those people to discuss and support to build over time

this is absolutely the information that needs to be at the top… old news, we know about it, calling it a back door is kinda disingenuous clickbait (or in this case, diplomacy bait?)

it’s entirely possible that this is true - the point is to sow discord and dissent rather than electing specific candidates… they just want everyone to hate everyone else and everything. they want yall fighting amongst yourselves

okay but it’s been passed in plenty of your states and that hasn’t been without democrat party support

you don’t just change the system overnight - change like that can take a lifetime, and it starts with signalling to move the overton window

that doesn’t mean that you haven’t internalised what a typical british tabloid looks like - they have a very specific style, and it’s replicated in pop culture and news quite a bit

it’s not just complacent - it’s worse than that - it’s dehumanising… it’s active; complacency is passive

what.cd was a bigger loss than just privacy - what.cd was an enormous loss to preservation of music history

the amount of content that has simply never been available for purchase was incredible, and made available in one of the cleanest and most comprehensively complete taxonomies was amazing
