I was in M2-XFE. That whole experience certainly taught a lot about the power of narrative and propaganda. And the later blockade showed what leadership failures look like.

We always had the advantage in that blockade, and could have stayed there for another year had the allies stuck together. Or we could have executed real plans to break them and end the war. Instead we did the worst of both.

Wanna bet? There are ways to frog in a boiling pot this. And chrome isn’t the only browser that will support blocking Firefox. (They’ll argue Chromium is not Google, only Chrome).

Yeah, that’s not the best example. It’s extremist and popular, but not a straw man at all.

I’m generally in favor of parents being able to make decisions for their children (particularly infants) with little involvement from the government.

I’d give examples, but they’d get downvoted. I’m generally in favor of the government staying out of personal issues that don’t affect larger society. When it comes to a woman’s right to choose, that’s popular. When it comes to certain religious practices, it’s unpopular.

She was the one who insisted. Nobody, other than maybe her staff, was encouraging her to keep that job.

The Democratic governor appoints her replacement. Why would they encourage her to stay?

It’s something like

My 7.6.0.3 won’t auto update. Says there are no updates available. I’m trying a manual install.

Advertise. And Geocaching is a great way to do it.

I’d recommend a post in the community encouraging people to put a url and/or QR code into some geocaches. Maybe with a sticky at the top of the community that explains what Lemmy is.

Consider the point of view of a person who finds the QR code in the geocache.

They can sell colors and themes as DLC! Cosmetics for your home!

That’s reductive and wrong.

Keeping their jobs, maybe. Avoiding the accusations of “deep state”, no matter how justified they might be in taking action.

Anti-corruption should be bipartisan.

Fucking dump him as fast as we’re allowed to. We don’t circle the wagons the way the GOP does.

I would make sure the firmware can’t be updated. Uninstall the Hue app for sure.
