Empty land does, in fact, vote...under the racist system that our founding slaveholders pushed for.

If your state isn't green, call your state representative (bonus: the one more likely to give a shit)

It's on his Wikipedia page, this isn't something you have to try hard to identify.

You posted a thing celebrating a sociopath for using Linux. I think you need meds.

Ghost might be better for you, as it's aimed to be a more complete distro with an installer and desktop environment.

I mean, you computer's wifi still won't work, but at least you'll have a nice UI to show you all the ways it does not work.

Trump is famously sober.

You are getting into UPenn if your daddy owns an emerald mine and has pseudoslaves to work in it.

No, very clearly not.

I'm commenting on the effectiveness of a course of action.

Are we not in the same thread?

What's your retirement age now?

But genuinely, I'll accept that as generally true. One issue we have that you don't is you can get to the actual capital of power in like 5 hours from anywhere in the country. A very large swath of the more liberal population of this country lives 50 expensive driving hours or a very expensive flight away and there are very few labor protections. Most businesses are run by people who are on the side of the government, meaning you are asking folks to lose their job, fly or drive ~5000km, all to stand outside a place with armed riot police with signs. That doesn't sound appealing, nor does it sound effective based on the violent and blatantly illegal actions undertaken by the us government in DC and Portland during the previous trump administration.

So then the question becomes: is it time for an actual armed protest. Is that the right step?

Since you asked the part that stood out was very small

I guess I could have easily said that in the first comment.

Feels a little: ugh sure I guessss I could have explained more, so tedious

Clearly this was a misinterpretation.

From my pov I think you're repeating exactly what I said, but I appreciate the additional details.

My last point is that "the design life we choose" is usually dictated by non-engineering forces. A 12th century king can throw resources at a problem. A 20th century governor cannot, and doesn't care to. They care about the bridge lasting until the end of their term limits.
