Why does VirtualBox keep launching on boot?

Lemmy users casually talking about wiping a country off the map:
Oh, they're working, all right — but for who?
I assumed it was the equivalent of "dark enlightenment".
Daily reminder:
I'm basing my POV less on anecdata and moreso on reading (Jonathan Haidt's The Righteous Mind, uh, comes to mind). With that said, I can certainly imagine that things have pulled in the direction you describe since Trump, so perhaps those sources don't reflect the current reality quite as much.
No, because if they are worthy and pull hard enough on their bootstraps, they too with reach the apotheosis of wealth. Think of it as a trial, or perhaps a filter. If they don't make it, they need to try harder. I'd maybe compare it to Darwinism, or even to military esprit de corps.
I'm using "they" more broadly here to include people who share that moral foundation. School vouchers slot into the same worldview as being anti-welfare and pro-private-healthcare, for example, which could be summed up as "I got mine, get your own". I don't subscribe to that personally, but it doesn't help matters to completely misrepresent that position.
I think you're ascribing much deeper thoughts and foresight to the average Republican voter than is warranted.
If preserving jobs regardless of technology were a criterion, we'd still have farriers in every town. Things change. Good on them for getting a pay raise, though. It's hard and essential work.
This is what, 8% annually or so? Seems petty substantial to me.

I don't think I've seen anyone else here with an 8:9 monitor, so I'll break the ice! The color theme is Layan Light; everything else is stock KDE.

Hmm yes, all Israelis are fascists. That definitely isn't dehumanizing an entire people or anything.
