Do you know what website you’re on?

There are stories about people who attempt suicide and fail, so they’re disabled and/or disfigured now. The crazy thing is that they’re still alive. They didn’t attempt it a second time. What that tells me is that suicide is something that temporarily grips you, and if you have the ability to cope somehow without killing yourself, things get better. Or maybe things don’t get better, but you no longer want to die over it.

There are guys out there with half their face gone because they missed, and they decided that life was worth living.

No idea. I don’t see anything about it on the first page.

This was debunked back when it came up in 2017 (?) There’s a good article about it here. The summary is that Stein was there in a diplomatic role. You know, as presidential candidates do. The Senate Intelligence Committee investigated her and found no wrongdoing.

A campaign spokesperson told Newsweek that Stein “attended at her own expense to spread a message of peace and diplomacy” and gave a speech in Moscow “in which she criticized the excessive militarism of both Vladimir Putin and U.S. leaders.”

Speaking to The Intercept in 2017, she said the notion that it was an “intimate roundtable” was “mythology,” and that Putin and his associates “weren’t at the table for very long.” Stein said that “nobody introduced anybody to anybody” and that she “didn’t hear any words exchanged between English speakers and Russians” due to the lack of a translator.

Stein said that Putin had appeared to make a speech and left immediately after. “Nobody cared to make introductions. This wasn’t intended to be a discussion of any sort,” she told the outlet.

Several weeks ago, AOC did a huge post about how Biden can’t be replaced because of back-room stuff that we don’t know about, and besides, the Republicans would sue and it would be a huge disaster, etc. Of course, she fell in line once Biden actually did get replaced. It’s hard to take her seriously with stuff like that.

I’m not at all surprised that Stein is more popular than Harris, but…DAMN, what did Cornel West do?!

The article says that previously Muslims supported Trump at 5% and Cornel West at 25%. Now they support Trump at 11% and West at 4%!

How does Donald Trump have almost 3 times the support?

What she actually said was that she would fight for a ceasefire and sovereignty for Palestine…but without a weapons embargo. This raises the question: If you refuse to use the only thing you have leverage on, what good is your support?

I don’t think that Harris has a plan. She might be more pro-Palestine than Biden, but without an embargo, she’ll be just as ineffectual. I don’t think that the US can do anything to stop the genocide except to quit sending Israel the money and weapons that they’re using to commit the genocide.

Where did I say that I wasn’t going to vote? I’m voting Green. If there’s a good Democrat running for Congress, I’ll vote for them, too. This isn’t complicated.

I live in a blue state. Using that same logic, my vote for a Democrat is a wasted vote, because my state is going to go blue whether I vote for them or not.

I read a biography of Stallman several years ago. The whole free software movement was an attempt to preserve the early hacker culture where everybody freely swapped code. So, Stallman didn’t really “invent” FOSS; he just codified that early hacker ethos.

What was minix then? A non FOSS version?

It wasn’t FOSS, but then neither was Linux originally.

Wait…you think those are intuitive? Fuck no.

Who’s going to intuitively know that “long hand pointing at 2” means “10 minutes after the hour”? Also, having the long hand for minutes is super unintuitive when hours are longer than minutes.

You should avoid washing and rinsing it as much as possible, especially avoiding soap. When food sticks, I usually just soak it, scrub it using a loofah, and then dry it over a hot burner or in a high-temperature oven.

I saw one guy on YouTube who scrubbed his out using salt. I think I’m going to start using this technique, because it avoids water altogether.

It would be great if Biden actually could fix this instead of leaving it for Kamala, but I don’t think he has the stones or the stamina.

Wetshaving?

The whole idea of “manliness” is kinda bullshit, but if we’re gonna roll with that, the most “manly” thing to do is not shave at all.

It does take a little practice, like anything worth doing. You save a ton of money (disposable razor blades cost pennies) and you aren’t throwing away all of that plastic.

I’m not voting “against Trump”. I’m voting for an end to the genocide (among other things).

it’s telling the truth about what will happen if they do as they said and don’t vote.

They didn’t say that they weren’t going to vote. They said that they weren’t going to vote for her. They might vote for Jill Stein or another anti-genocide candidate.

Why are you working to get Democrats elected? Are they paying you? What’s the point?

I want Kamala to call for an arms embargo on Israel if they refuse to negotiate a ceasefire.
