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.

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.

There are legal complications with silencing a sitting US president. Before Elon, Twitter struggled to contextualize and mitigate the damage.

It's not a 1st Amendment violation, and every president has the ability to communicate tot the public 24/7. At least when Windrow Wilson had his 3 AM racist thoughts it wasn't able to get out fast enough for the press secretary to try and bury the lead.

She thought that the group of trans people that run 196 was somehow enabling transphobia and other horrid things when we constantly removed it.

And when we removed it, she said it was better for communication if kept things up to show the idiots.

And then when I kept it up, she got mad at me for not instantly banning and removing them.

Like everything 196 does was inherently a master plan where we messed with all users just for her.

She's banned because she constantly went "I can't wait to leave this place" and never did. So I left the ban note along the lines of "If you want to leave, you can. You're not, you're harassing users and defending tankies, so take this time to breath some air."

• Attend Churches where pastors and preachers proselytize about anything "Sinful"
• Call themselves Christian proudly
• Wears crosses
• Says its forbidden by God to do something that the Bible says is bad
• Uses the words of Saint Paul to expand on those words

Damn that sounds like they are Christian, but you know, I guess they're "not true Christians" because they happen to do everything on Saturday instead of Sunday, or don't wash the feet of the poor, or something else that caused a schism 200 years ago.

Advocacy groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, have called the bill "censorship plain and simple," arguing that "jeopardizing access to the platform jeopardizes access to free expression."

At 27 years old, Florida Democratic Rep. Maxwell Frost is the youngest member of Congress, and he opposes the bill.

"I think that it is a violation of people's First Amendment rights," he said. "TikTok is a place for people to express ideas. I have many small businesses in my district and content creators in my district, and I think it's going to drastically impact them too."

The fact that Republicans started it is enough for me to be at least suspicious of why its even being considered.

EDIT: Also lol at "strong first amendment rights" when redneck states ban any books with queer or black characters. And lmao at "Strong first amendment rights" when people get fired for talking about forming a union, let alone even trying to make one.

Tell me you're into drone kink without telling me you're into drone kink. 😆

😔 Damn.

Not broken, working as intended.

It's not an oppression-depression Olympics. Because someone else has something worse off or similar does mean you win. Because someone else has something better off than you does not mean you lose.

There is one thing you can do; Organize. Help people not ever have the same situation you and your family had. Make it so anyone who faced such hardships doesn't need to, nor anyone else would again.

I'm sorry you had a rough life, and I hope you feel better soon, but the people who are struggling are not your enemy, they are compatriots in a similar mental struggle. They are not the ones who caused your family pain and strife, but feel it in a similar vein. They are not your enemy.

Linux Mint has a Debian edition available, I'm curious about that one.

When the KKK marches through streets with tiki torches, no state tried to stop them. Same for burning crosses in Alabama. Because the cops are in those the white robes and tacticool vests.

When the Black Panthers protected voters 1st amendment rights with the 2nd amendment, that's when laws were passed to stop gun ownership.

If the left was anywhere as close as protective and expressive of their rights as the right, we would have had nationwide gun control established decades ago.

And perhaps more protections federally too, as Congress only passed the Civil Rights Act of 1968 under duress of activists and black panthers. If feminists and queer people did the same, we would have had amendments by now.
