I’d also add automatic configuration for multiple monitors, perhaps as much as 3 or as much as tmmy laptop’s GPU allows for.

I’ve been doing some research and it seems like arandr has the best GUI for doing this.

Thanks for pulling the receipts, I admit I was listening to a stream while this news broke

Rightwing?

Bro he was a centrist liberal, believing in things like Darwinism and class warfare.

He was likely triggered because of losing insurance around the age of 26 and the utter disaster it is to manage one’s own health insurance. Hence the lashing out at the health insurance industry

Burn the rich?

Same. And sometimes if it’s convenient, I’ll keep my recyclables like paper, cans, and glass until I have access to a sink to clean then (glass, maybe cans) and can toss them in my recycling system at home.

Fyi, make sure your recyclables are dry before dropping them off/having them picked up

It’s funny because I remember specific provisions for allowing people to go outside for exercise lmao

After looking into the data, I’d probably agree with you.

The US USDA ERS estimates that urban area land use is the lowest of all categories, but is rising. Yet NASA found that turfgrass represents the largest irrigated crop in the US, 3 times as much as corn.

I will have to say that the research on this is quite outdated, with newer research seemingly coming from industry groups associated with the golf sector and giving rise to conflicts of interest.

But I generally agree with your sentiment. Place the blame on the individual, the citizen, rather than the corporations and economic industries. I’d tend to agree with you, although I wonder if the issues are necessarily mutually exclusive. Sure we might prioritize the latter, but the former gives people tangible reasons to point to and continue in their advocacy for the latter.

c/whoooooosh

“Pruning” is a specific action defined in Marvel’s Loki where a timeline that branches away from the Sacred Timeline is destroyed for fear of it causing problems, so no the original commenter wasn’t talking about the Tennessee Valley Authority.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen the data, but isn’t the American lawn considered a major biome now? At least compared to wildlands.

Between lawns and monocropping in the US, yes we need to fight back against those activities and favor rewilding.

For those reading, start by introducing native plants to your parcel. Let nature do it’s thing. Then, consider going vegan since animals need multiple times the amount of land and water to grow: resources to grow the plants, then resources to grow the animals. Then, consider donating to organizations like The Xerces Society, the Wildlife Conservation Network, or MarAlliance. Better yet, find something local to you and join up!

Looks like Harris did lose by about 79,000 votes in Michigan.

Comparatively, about 44,500 went to Stein.

We don’t ultimately know how the uncommitted movement voted. If they were a monolith throughout, we’d expect 100k for Stein. If some abstained and some voted for Harris or Trump, that would’ve split the movement.

If all of Stein’s voters went to Harris, however, that wouldn’t have changed the outcome. Harris would have still been short ~34,400. So if you wanted to make the argument that the uncommitted movement was a voting block, then the entire ~44k block voting for Harris wouldn’t have changed the outcome.

Overall I don’t see Michigan outcomes changing my argument. If Dems were more persuasive, even if they lied about Gaza, they could have sweeped the nation. And even if the uncommitteds chose the lesser of two evils, Kamala still lost all other swing states. You can’t chock the outcomes of those states up to the uncommitteds, because the largest organizational presence was in Michigan.

Thank you for voicing this opinion in this thread, and bringing the receipts.

Guess what then

Lie to the American people.

Lie like Obama did! And lie well. Tell the biggest lie. Because clearly that worked for Trump!

Democrats stared down the barrel of fascism this election, and didn’t even think to come off their high horse to score a victory.

Wasn’t the uncommitted movement some 100,000 people strong?

Didn’t Harris lose by millions?

How would have the uncommitteds saved the election if their numbers represented a fraction of what Democrats needed?

Could a more likely explanation of this deplorable outcome be that Democrats did this to themselves by not rallying up their base enough to bring more people out to vote?

Stop blaming the American people.

I donated to Kamala’s campaign ($10), but then I realized what direction they were taking around the DNC and stopped giving them money.

Not all doners agreed with her platform, just like how not all voters did.

Yeah they did

I just have realistic expectations of my elected representatives actually advocating for my interests in government.

Dems could sure accelerate our energy transition away from fossil fuels towards green energy with more initiatives like the IRA and GND.

Dems could sure undo Reaganomics and Citizens United, audit our contracts with corporations so they work for us, break up monopolies, and a heck of a lot of other things to get us moving in the right direction.

Truth is that a growing portion of Americans support these. Leftist populism is on the rise. And we might have a good chance to organize this time around because Dems have stopped telling those comforting lies to their base. Kamala didn’t do what Obama did. The Dems’ true nature was seen far and wide.

Dems are the ones smothering themselves with comforting lies, and the disappointint truth is that they’ll keep losing elections in favor of elected representatives who actually listen to their base: Republicans.

One angle that might explain the lack of media coverage on a win for the working class against the interest of capital owners is that the media itself, at least the mainstream slice of it, is owned by the capitalist class.

MSM will cover things if they think it’ll bring in more ratings. You see it with how many news outlets are treating the upcoming Trump administration. For Cons, they’re banking on a viewer base that’ll be more interested in Trump coverage. For Dems, they’re banking on a viewer base that’ll be more hateful and agree of Trump coverage.

So when you have wins for the working class that Biden’s administration directly helped with, and when you have a media industry that just won’t cover it out of their own self-interest, you have to wonder if the administration will spend Americans’ on advertising or just keep it and move on.

One might say that the best time to do that advertising is during an election campaign though. And that begs the question as to why Biden nor Harris brought this up in their campaigns.

Might it be that those groups are also subject to the capitalist class?
