Only one side does that.

And really, I wish neither did and words and ballots worked.

We need to uncap the house and some degree of order would be restored.

Entitled to nothing. Toxic by acting like they are entitled and now a slew of other people are toxic about a FOSS dev.

But we sure do love FOSS, am I rite?

It’s like introspection or game theory mean nothing to people…

No. Every time FOSS comes up on Lemmy, FOSS adherents remind me why I’d never dip my toe in that mess.

I use some open source, but I also pay to support it, so I’m not true FOSS. See: Home Assistant. I contribute to the support at times, and I’m familiar with the frustrations - and the need to be consistently cordial. And thick skinned.

For all you know you’re talking to someone on the spectrum. Perspective matters.

No, but carrying the grudge this long and vocally leaves me to wonder if the story is as crisp as put forth.

And FOSS die hards put many people off of lemmy early on.

Seek? Yes. Expect? No.

Too many FOSS users are toxicly entitled… It ruins things for everyone.

He’s not obligated to provide that support. But the tone sure makes it seem expected.

Can you help me underatand where you proved him wrong?

It went from locker room talk with him acting offended children were being harmed (also by “illegals”) to why won’t he release the records.

His baddy status is more confirmed.

Y’know?

I’m over 50 and 8 go places and do things. Now… A lot of that is to be in and around nature, but I not some idle couch potato.

That said, when the kids were still at home, some of the adventuring wasn’t as feasible.

“Defense” sells better than “war.”

When we go to war abroad it is in "defense" of our interests.

Please note the use of quotes. I’m not saying it should be this way. I’m saying that’s the spin/marketing and that it works.

His uninformed voters buy it.

It’s that simple. That and Trump is used to bullying.

What you describe is the least effective army that can be assembled. Not saying they wouldn’t try, mind you… But that’s not a group you give guns and put into a battlefield.

I agree. But I’ll also point out that the flag is placed in Canada. As if it is the 51st state.

Too many people can never have enough:

• Money
• Power
• Status

And too many people are willing to worshipfully oblige them.

We just may do it in manageable waves…

Bugles? I have a real hunger for them… almost like a call.

If it goes to a red state it’s smart.

Came here to say this but you did it so much better.

The bigger the sacrifice, the more there is to honor.
