Well… he’s a pedophile, maybe she just means brown people and the poor who are not her.

As a Christian, I can’t say I’m appalled given the source. I have never aligned with MAGA and even had my eyes opened during the Tea Party movement that the conservative party was now purely a tool to make billionaires richer. I know it was like that before, but I admit I was in denial 20 years ago.

This quote is from a “Christian” Trump supporter.

“I voted for him, and he’s the one who’s doing this,” she said of Mr. Trump. “I thought he was going to do good things. He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting.” link

I believe that Trump’s followers are not affected by this at all. I think that their pocketbooks are the only thing that’s shaking them enough to wake up a little.

I think he’s not “being their retribution” and instead just making his billionaire friends rich. He’s not hurting the people that his voters want to see hurt and it’s making them wonder why he’s there in the first place. Affecting their pocketbook touches on him hurting “me” and not who 'I" think he should be hurting.

The current MAGA “Christians” are like the Pharisees of Jesus’ time. So focused on the law while trying to feel holier than others that they would condemn the savior for healing on the wrong day instead of recognizing the miracle of the healing. They ignore all of Jesus’ teachings and focus on condemning the sins of others. They have no concept that they will be judged on only their actions and not compared to those they’ve labeled as less than them.

Edit: Reading this whole verse is very important, but this is the part I’d like to highlight especially.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 NRSVUE

[3] Let no one deceive you in any way, for that day will not come unless the rebellion comes first and the lawless one is revealed, the one destined for destruction. [4] He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, declaring himself to be God.

Why are all those proud boy rejects lined up like they’re going to Piper Perri that dog?

Technically you can just get used litter without odor control from someone who has a cat. Cat urine will keep rats away all on its own. Just give them a bag of dollar store litter and put the whole box where you need control. Works for months.

Edit: we have chickens and rats have been an issue with getting into their feed. The chickens don’t care about the smell but the rats stay away.

Prior to joining Oracle, Maxson served as Executive Vice President and Group Chief Financial Officer at Schneider Electric, a global leader in electrification, automation, and digitalization with more than $45 billion in annual revenue. Since joining Schneider Electric in 2017, the organization has transformed from an electrical equipment supplier into a digital energy technology partner for key segments, like utilities and datacenters

Yup, there it is. For her industry contacts for getting power for datacenters. Not enough electricity to go around any more, Oracle needs people with connections in high positions.

Why doesn’t Google just pay it and absorb the cost like shippers do with tariffs?

Finally, a unique speech not copied from Michelle Obama.

Turns out, Michelle and her husband were never on Epstein’s island, so nothing to deny.

Fun fact, when recording the fake moon landing, Neil Armstrong was such a stickler for details that he refused to film it unless they filmed it on location.

Exactly this. Half of the videos I see about switching to Linux, even if I have never heard the content creator so much as mention fortnite, claim it’s a reason you shouldn’t switch to Linux.

Well, you can’t run this one shitty program popular with twelve year olds so rife with cheating they need kernel level control of your shitty OS to combat it, so no freedom from corporate tyranny for you!

The opposite of pro is con.

So the opposite of progress is…

De nada

It’s around the corner

Thanks friend

You’re welcome

Can confirm, have them all over our house in the fall. They poop out brown sticky stuff when they’re afraid that smells bad, so you have to be super careful getting rid of them.

Absolutely not, and please don’t be ashamed. I didn’t take anything you said as hostile at all. I always appreciate a great discussion. Asserting opinions combined with asking questions is a great way to learn. I’m glad to be able to help open your understanding about why some people use different releases and how they can be useful outside of just the current release. Thank you for being open for an exchange of ideas.

I understand and respect your opinion. I have new hardware though, a Ryzen 7 9800X3D and 9070XT GPU. I bought them a couple of weeks after release and needed drivers for them to “get my money’s worth” out of them. (CP2077 at 4k with 144hz was a must!) I needed the newer mesa drivers at the time, and this was pre-trixie, so I opted to use forky instead. I opted to not reinstall after trixie was released as I already had all of my stuff set up and configured. As far as security, package releases in deb go into sid for 10, 5, or 2 days for stability testing (depending on the urgency) before being pushed into forky, but the Debian security team does not work with either sid or forky. So, neither are really more or less secure than the other. Forky is just a teeny bit more “stable” than unstable.

I personally take a calculated risk, I understand the security implications and rely on other external network-based security measures, so probably feel a bit more confident than most users and am willing to take the risk more than others may. I also have submitted bugs and provide feedback to packages fairly often for both Debian and KDE while using both trixie and forky, which I feel is important for end-user usability. I’ve been using Debian for a long time and have tried to contribute back where I can.

I’ve been on Debian for over 20 years now, after a major issue with a LAMP server using Ubuntu Warthog and going to “the source” of Ubuntu to work out a few issues. I ended up converting all of my servers (Former SysAdmin) to Debian within a few weeks. After that, I moved from Slackware at home and Ubuntu at work to Debian everywhere and never looked back.

My laptop and dev box are Debian Trixie along with two home servers that are Debian Bookworm. My gaming computer is Debian Forky. Looking for the latest stable release to play games with, which is what most recommendations are for, will tell you to use Debian stable builds but stay away from Ubuntu LTS because they’re not up to date .

Forky (testing) is a great gaming distro with the latest drivers, but people are afraid it’s unstable (which is Debian Sid), so they choose to compare other distros to the last stable release while pushing Arch and the latest Ubuntu because Debian testing is too bleeding edge for what they think of Debian, which is supposed to be stable.

Super popular tv show from the 90s with Jennifer Anniston (from Office Space), Courtney Cox (from Scream) and a bunch of other schmucks that I can’t remember.

Surprised he didn’t wait until the 6th. Seems to be his favorite day to attempt to change a country’s leadership.

Same same.
