The question of why specific immigrants are here isn’t relevant to the topic of how they should be treated once they’re legally here. Some are here bc of bad US foreign policy, others aren’t, but all should be treated with respect.

Cluster munitions are bad when you’re an invading army bc some of the explosives fail to fire, endangering civilians who come across them later. Ukraine, however, is using them on its own territory to combat russia who 1) is already using cluster munitions with a greater fail rate than the ones the US is providing Ukraine, and 2) deliberately mines the areas they invade in a way to kill civilians (e.g. setting up a mine to explode if you try to move the corpse of a beloved family dog). So in this case, using the US’s cluster munitions to get russia out is a net positive.

Better would be the marxists pushing the gas pedal to run over everyone on the red track, hoping that someone else will then rise up to stop the trolley

There’s a preprint paper out that claims to prove that the technology used in LLMs will never be able to be extended to AGI, due to the exponentially increasing demand for resources they’d require. I don’t know enough formal CS to evaluate their methods, but to the extent I understand their argument, it is compelling.

I have tried–the instructions are woefully inadequate. I tried following them to build Ventoy and had to make numerous modifications just to get the first couple of components to build. At that point I gave up

As the cop in South Park said after a kid was killed in town, “Dammit! Outside school is the one place kids are supposed to be safe!”

Everyone will call you friend as long as you agree with them. And libs punch Nazis. Are you a Nazi?

You mean like “shitlib”?

Because there’s nothing to understand. Have the day you deserve!

No, it doesn’t. Just repeating a statement, slightly modified, doesn’t mean it makes sense.

After I saw that issue, I attempted to build Ventoy from source. After making numerous modifications and getting only the first couple components built, I got tired of it and quit. I’ve made some modifications to glim and use that instead, although it’s still not as easy as Ventoy. But I don’t trust Ventoy if I can’t build it myself.

Further, when @vkc@linuxmom.net made some criticisms of Ventoy in one of her YouTube videos, she was subjected to a harassment campaign, and others told her the same happened to them. That pushed me from not trusting Ventoy to actively distrusting it.

That makes no sense

I guess it was too soon for me to put my cope ear bandage back on

Then the likely outcome of your actions is at odds with your stated goal of forcing the two major parties to shift their platforms over time.

Have you had covid recently?

AIPAC is funded by Israel, Republicans, and Democrats, so you can’t draw any strong conclusions about party affiliation from involvement in AIPAC alone. Further, AIPAC isn’t the only, or even the biggest, donor to Biden and Harris, so claiming they’re “bought and paid for” strains credulity.

MAGA isn’t solely characterized by Zionism, and not all Zionists are MAGA, so going from “Zionism” to “MAGA” is an unsubstantiated leap.

Finally, receiving donations from a death cult does not make one part of a death cult. Morally reprehensible? Yes.

That’s easy for you to fix

The Yellow Wallpaper caused my first panic attack (not to knock the story itself; it’s an important feminist work)

That’s laudable, but the way to do that is to vote in primaries, not to vote third party in the general election
