Jesus is their savior, Trump is their candidate. Ex-president's backers say he shares faith, values ( apnews.com )

As Donald Trump increasingly infuses his campaign with Christian trappings while coasting to a third Republican presidential nomination, his support is as strong as ever among evangelicals and other conservative Christians....

i see it as validation that religion itself is a grift... an exploitation of a crack in the human psyche.

the same mechanism that helps people ignore the ridiculousness of %religion% lets them ignore the terrible behaviors of its participants.

maybe add a dash of mass-psychosis.. throw in a huge, daily serving of faux news propaganda and here we are

you found one!!

Why Didn't Democrats Do More When They Controlled Both Houses of Legislature, The White House, and The Supreme Court During Obama's First Term?

I've been wondering for a bit why during the time the Democrats controlled the legislature, executive, and judicial branches during Obama's first term in 2008 more wasn't accomplished. Shouldn't that have been the opportunity to make Row V Way law and fix the electoral college? I understand the recession was going on but outside...

because those are conservative democrats who thought there was still a sensible republican party "to work with"

most of Obamas "accomplishments" were republican sourced ideas.

the democrats haven't acted progressively in many decades. Obama was a lame duck from day 1

youre going to get a lot of hate for stating facts.

theres a huge contingent here on lemmy who really want fascism to win, so theyre attempting to guilt people into voting for a 3rd party

i hate the dems as useless conservatives, but this 'BoTh SideS aRe thE SAME' argument is crap.

you might as well just say 'everyone give up, humanity is over'.

works from my mbin site.. must be specific to the kbin.social instance.

the no europe thing smells like gdpr avoidance. something of a red flag

e. actually, that might be the main issue. i think kbin.social is out of germany, so might be blocked from your no-euro server

originalucifer ,
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

yes, i mean the Nijimiss site is actively blocking european IPs, which would include requests coming from kbin.social, and might be the root of your 500 errors. i noticed lemmy.world (finland) also cant make those requests to nijimiss.moe successfully.

my instance is not in europe, so it seems like it can make those requests without error.

ever? thats a long time. remotely-efficient LLMs have only been around a few years.

i would say 'yes, inevitably'

"in a reasonable amount of time" or "before this bubble bursts" are clearly implied

hahahaha. ok

conservatism is driven by ignorance. you cant really separate the 2. its why critical thinking is antithetical to republicans.

US Lemmys what could Biden do in the next 6 months to EARN your vote? (other than just not being Trump)

Sorry this is kinda political. Is there an asklemmypolitics group this would be better for? I'm hoping not to get into the libs vs progressives political debate we see everywhere on here... Just want to know what people are actually looking for.

originalucifer ,
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

dude has had years to fix what trump broke. biden is, ultimately, a conservative and his actions show it.

drug war. overblown military budget. lack of healthcare. letting dejoy just sit there destroying the post office. not pushing for expanding/changing the supreme court.

any movement on any of these things.

@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

yeah, for me the rescheduling is very too little. it should be removed entirely and left to the states.

to put it in some perspective, alcohol.. one of the most dangerous things we do en masse, is not 'scheduled'.

notice the empty highways. the emergency personnel arent trained to reverse highways in this area, which is a common thing in certain places

also; fuck cars

I’m Able To Change My Race Right?

Since people are able to identify and claim whatever they want to be. I am now a trans white. I do not consider nor identify myself as an African-American woman anymore. I don’t feel comfortable in my skin. I don’t believe this was my right race at birth. So I will now be transitioning and starting to go fund me. Please...

i had the exact same thought! early binkly was.. different

so many people demanding 'free' AND... like thats just something that should exist.

but hey, at least we can sell human killing devices the world over!

that budget never seems to get cut

originalucifer ,
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

funny, they both seem to have the same funding source.

originalucifer ,
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

not sure why we need all this extra nonsense.. we have a postal service that is incredibly efficient and has its own police force. why are we reinventing the wheel?

originalucifer ,
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

stoked, unfounded fear and artificial limits on where to drop them. got it.

you mean the guy whom conservatives installed to they could kill one of the most successful government programs ever?

never herd of him

originalucifer ,
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

they should be called regressives

originalucifer ,
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

its called 'starve the beast'... here in the states its a tactic they use to break the system... they cut funding, and can then point at the failing program to .. further cut funding. eventually its dead. its one of the reasons our education system is so inefficient and expensive.

theres only one program that never, ever, ever ever ever gets cut... building human killing devices under the guise of 'defense'

One thing this means to me is that Blue Dwarf should remain a text-only site for the foreseeable future.

i guess. but these are insights for any forum from the last, oh 30, years... if youre not talking federation, or even imaging... it doesnt feel like theres any 'new' information here. just a wall of text from yet-another-forum-operator.

ha, wow. this really highlights how out of whack the conservatives are. the debt is usually the club they use to beat the dems into submission when they do not control the whitehouse. when conservatives have the white house, the debt is never, ever an issue.

Do you use the device you torrent on for personal things as well?

I'm just curious as I've permanently dedicated my laptop to torrenting. I've been too nervous to install anything but the VPN and Firefox on it. Now, I'm curious to mess around with Linux some more, which is what I use on it, but I can't fully test out what all I can do with it without signing into accounts....

originalucifer ,
@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

not exactly. you use an old machine like that and run it headless... throw a bunch of containers on it..

get yourself a gluetun and maybe deluge containers.. youll have a solid vpn connection, and a torrenting client that wont bleed to public. you can run all kinds of compartmentalized services fairly easily.

i wouldnt hate this so much if america produced quality automobiles. but we dont. so watch people pay double for something that will last twice as long.

even at equal pricing, they just push out better quality than we can seem to muster
