Yes.

Depends if the lobbyists want it legal.

Meanwhile I can just use the same shortcuts every other program made in the last 40 years uses. Ctrl+Q to quit, Ctrl+S to save, Ctrl+Z for undo. If I wanted to consult a cheatsheet to relearn keyboard shortcuts, I’ll use vim and emacs.

Nano isn’t even that simple. Ctrl+X to quit? I guess if you use phonetic sounds to figure out how to exit a program. At least Vim uses the idea of “use what the words start with.”

I personally use micro in the terminal, and Kate if I want a GUI to write. Vim and Emacs are fine for those who want it, I have no stakes in the editor wars beyond “I just want my program to do what I want, and I want it to be simple to learn.”

And now we’re voting between “Literal fascist who hired cops to harm minorities” and “literal cop who harmed minorities”. And before that was “Literal fascist who hired cops to harm minorities” and “Wrote the bills to enable cops to harm minorities and protected rape victims.”

Governments don’t protect you, me, or anyone, they never give you the freedoms, only take them. Keep your wits, stay safe, and drink water.

Enforcement of your own rights is protected by yourself. The government doesn’t enforce the right to free speech, it can’t force you to say something. The government doesn’t enforce the right to a warrant, the government is the one who makes cops enter your place without one.

The government also doesn’t enforce gun ownership to anyone but the military and the militarized police. There is no “Government supplied and required to own and use firearm”.

Governments rarely give you freedoms you never had before they came into power, they just remove the limits they enforced onto us. And they never do it willingly.

A rare Aging Wheels enjoyer in the wild! That dude has single-handedly gotten me more interested in automobile history and just how cars do things in general.

Oligarchs are only for the rich outside of the Thirteen Eyes. American oligarchs are called lobbyists and job creators.

Women are being tied to the same system as you are and not the same system as you want.

Women are the same for other things and I can do 🚯 for the better of them and the other thing and I can’t get to a good and not not not not not not not…

Women are not a grift for being on an esoteric route.

Nothing says “we’re protecting children” like regulating what adult women can do with their bodies.

Conservatives are morons, every time.

The time for making your case was during the primary season. That’s when Democratic voters decide which issues are most important to them.

People did, and when “Uncommited” was an option, they did it. Then liberals on social media cried how it was supporting Trump to vote in democratic primaries.

And Harris wasn’t an option as the front runner, it was Biden and no one else with above 1%. She was part of the VP ticket, but VPs don’t generally decide policies, they’re there to break ties in the Senate and as a backup plan if something happens to the President.

When running, we criticized and people said it would hand the election to Trump. Biden won the biggest tally of votes possible, mine was in there. When mid-terms came up, and we wanted to still help with COVID and the groups it harmed, it was said that handed it to Republicans.

It feels like its never a good time to ask for something that helps Americans. We vote in primaries, we ask nicely, we protest, we organize, we vote blue no matter who, because Trump is the default of “Fucking never in a million years.” and we’re still called traitors who want him to win, because we want money sent to Ukraine than Israel’s genocide.

Eugene V. Debs should have won every time, I have yet to see a bad take he had. He was anti-racist, feminist, and wanted to increase the right to vote to all Americans.

“It’s not illegal so that makes it cool.”

I personally find the ides that if you want an eduction, which is required for modern living, you need to abandon your rights as a citizen. Mandatary and needed public goods shouldn’t strip you of your mandatory and needed rights.

Students have their rights stripped, especially as a child, because some Karens and Kevins didn’t want to be a member of the HOA, they wanted to be a school board member.

Bags searched and confiscated, protests shut down, students having harmless objects taken away out of a nebulous fear of “could maybe do somethig in the future”.

The people pretending to educate citizens, then denying the citizens educating each other.

The people pretending that war is good when Your Favorite Team does it.

The people that act like murder is actually a complex issue.

Revoking the right to question the war, that’s awesome. It’s cool to violate 1st Amendment rights when the good guys do it!

The fact that most people assume Arch is a broken mess because of a meme is wild. Same people would think Linux is impossible to use if they used Windows still.

Every world leader above 60 should be out of office. They don’t have the same opinions and energy of the people they are leading into climate change beyond saving, and increased interest of Fascism.

No you don’t understand, we use this bot to deem people as biased. Ignoring that all media is biased to its owners’ financial interest and nothing else.

Hell Lemmy.world has banned active users posting NBC and CBS and other reputable news outlets because they shared them too often.

The mods who installed this bot act like its some major service, when all it does is enforce the shifted overton window and acts like news and trends isn’t bought and sold to the highest bidder.

This bot doesn’t improve anything, it doesn’t make mods jobs easier, it just wastes energy like Bitcoin and AI farms.

Nope, most states require either a certain percentage/number of registered voters for a party or a state-wide petition to get onto the ballot. The only 3rd party on all 50 states’ ballot is the Libertarian party. The Green party is a distant 4th place, as they often need to regather signatures and new petitions every 2-4 years.

If a new party was formed for 2028, it might get enough ground in one state, not any to really sway the balance of the Electoral College.

And it’s better to tell them to shut up? Fuck your right to question the government?
