I think you can’t use the word cynical in that way. People can be cynical, but corporations can’t. Corporations don’t have that type of thought or feeling.
So I’m really not sure what you’re trying to ask. Are you asking which CEOs are the most cynical?
If you want the answer to your question, just go read. A lot of people are doing a lot already. It’s just not Washington Democrats.
But if you want to know why we should be targeting the Democrats, it’s because we know what the Republicans in Washington were able to do when Obama was president and when Biden was present. The Dems have power, but they are pretending that they don’t.
And we the people are calling out to these Democrats and telling them hey, if you want the country to survive, you need to level up. And if you don’t, and the country does somehow survive anyway, we will make sure to throw you to the curb as soon as we can. But we really do need your help now because the situation is s***.
Bigotry leads to more bigotry. If it wasn’t trans folk, it would be Mexicans. Oh wait, it’s both, right? … The reasons don’t matter to them. All they want is hate and harm, and that’s what they live.
I use Debian on a regular basis and have for years, but I wouldn’t recommend it as the starting distro unless I knew that the user would have very ordinary hardware and no special software needs. It’s just annoying if you have to learn how to install Chrome, or your wireless drivers, for example.
It’s almost simple enough, but not quite, in my view. But if I were helping them get it installed, then after that they would probably be good to go.
Elon Musk is also an idiot. He thinks he’s smart enough to quickly understand complex situations and complex problems about which he knows next to nothing, within just a few minutes.
Most people would only try to claim that level of understanding in areas with which they have professional experience or about which they’re extremely geeky. He does it with everything, and nobody can be an expert in everything, and everybody knows that except for narcissistists.
I suppose for non-tech people it might be convenient to assume that because someone knows something about some kind of tech, they therefore know a lot about all kinds of tech, and the reality is that’s just not true. There are so many fields that are totally different. But if it did, actually he would look even more idiotic, because Twitter is a train wreck, so clearly he’s incompetent in tech field, right?
Remember that they accurately believed the DNC were horrible. They stopped Hillary. They stopped Biden and Harris. Good for them? Kinda, not really though.
… We know Trump is worse. Far worse. But they saw a legitimate threat, a group of people who were not going to make their lives better, and they took some kind of action to stop them.
And then lots of bigotry. Can’t forget that.
Sell meth to Musk’s gang? Get them hooked.
This has everything to do with past presidents. They all wanted Guantanamo Bay to stay open so they could torture and imprison people. They did, and now Trump is.
It’s not like nobody could have predicted this. It’s not like nobody told them, “You should stop torturing people, stop imprisoning them there, and close the place down.” … In fact, they all heard that advice and ignored it, because they were happy to forget about human rights.
Of course Trump is doing terrible things, and this is one of them. But he’s not the first, and he certainly won’t be the last. And what you wrote about Kamala is on-point, but you don’t even see it, do you. Would she have closed Guantanamo Bay down? Of course not. Because she feels the same way.
This sounds like a situation where the two of them chatted about what was best for the two of them and came to a reasonable decision.
Gitmo should have been shut down two decades ago. Torture, waterboarding, “advanced interrogation techniques” … don’t think we forgot about that. It’s a shame that no American president had the courage to close down dirty military institutions.
Many sites work best with NoScript because the anti AdBlock is done by JavaScript.
(Of course that doesn’t always work, but when it does, great.)
I have used it on old underpowered computers happily for years. There’s just no need for anything with high specs.
