It's a fucking Hitler quote. Do we really need to analyze it for nuance?

I'm GenX, and I wouldn't answer a poll if you paid me. I will vote, and I will never vote for a Republican for the rest of my life. If there's no Dem candidate on the ballot for a specific office, I leave it blank so they can see how many votes they're not getting when they don't run a candidate.

Abortion bans don't stop abortions. People with the means will travel out of state. People without the means to travel will obtain abortions by whatever means necessary. Women will die.

There were reasons why Roe was decided the way it was. Some people have forgotten history or never learned it. Women they know and women they love will die. They will remember, they will learn. It will be too late.

To be fair, my "woman" is able to disagree with me because I didn't chain her up, hold her captive, and traffic her for my cam site (allegedly).

And then you learn about Fextra's embedded twitch player that artificially inflates their twitch view count and pushes out smaller content creators who are actually trying to engage with a game's audience.

This is how you funnel money to people in government positions. Their spouses give "talks" across a "wide variety of timely topics" for money.

I'm more surprised that they awarded it without charging him for it. They don't mind giving you one whether you attend or not, as long as you ~~pay~~ go into debt for it.

"Send it back to the states so the people can decide"... Some of the most transparent bullshit to come out of the Supreme Court in recent years. As if everyone didn't know that this was exactly what was going to happen.

I have a virtual machine at work that I connect to with Citrix Workspace. It has been giving me problems, crashing my windows os.

Anyway, I installed Linux mint to a new partition, and can connect to the VM through Citrix. I also added libc++1-2 so it will recognize my headset/audio devices in the VM.

The problem comes when I try to connect to a teams meeting, and it refuses to connect. It just sits there, after popping up the modal that would normally be there when you join a call/meeting.

Anyone have experience that solves this?

Basically self-diagnosed at 35 due to this. Therapist backed it up and agreed, but there isn't really anything anyone is going to do with a 35 year old other than maybe give you some anti-anxiety medicine occasionally after hassling you about it.

They've made $600M. How is that fucking up a golden ticket? They've all been getting paid well for years. The people who spent money are the ones who don't have a finished game. That probably doesn't matter to the people who've paid off a large chunk of their mortgages in the meantime.

Marcus Flowers ran against her in 2022, and really had two things working against him in Georgia - he's black and a Democrat. He's a veteran, smart, committed to doing the right thing, ran a clean campaign on policy, and worked hard. Meanwhile, she trolled, filmed videos of herself wasting time at his campaign office while he worked, etc, etc, etc. And all of that happened while she was removed from all of her committee assignments which meant that she couldn't even do anything to support her district for 90% of her first term.

They gerrymandered her district as much as they could by reaching down to Cobb County suburbs to pull as much away from Atlanta as they could afford to, and Marcus lost by a lot. I'm not entirely sure we're not stuck with her for a very long time, unless she loses a primary, which I don't see happening with the Republicans in their current state.

Would you believe me if I told you that at least 3 of the current supreme court members were lawyers arguing on behalf of Bush in that case?
