No, my psychologist has like a small couch, loveseat kinda thing

(Light therapy meaning light as in lighting or sunlight. Used to manage my circadian rhythm disorder)

No, a palantine is a Valentine, to or from Palpatine.

Hes too brown. Hitler though, if Hitler was alive and on the market you know we’d be snatching him up

Its a rolling release but not updates as soon as theyre available upstream like most rolling releases. I believe its to keep things stable in spite of the rolling release model

Not sure how far behind they might be but its super easy to search packages online that are available to install through xbps if you have the package name

Edit: here’s the repo search https://voidlinux.org/packages/

I use an open wire shelf like this

And it works great as an ADHD friendly solution for me. Completely solved my clothes-all-over-the-floor problem, since I can’t put them on my chair (I need my chair free for light therapy in the mornings)

Could it maybe be a different edition? Itd be weird for a different edition to go out of their way to redraw a man showering his groins tho…

Had to look it up, this is not a real lyric for anyone curious 😅

He has ~ L A Y E R S ~

Thats super cool, thanks for the link!

Thats weird as fuck lol. I think maybe something is just jank with the site then

Have a good one!

If we’re at the part of the conversation where we accuse eachother of being a psyop or secretly pro-fascism because we disagree on how to solve our problems I think probably we’re past any hope this might be a worthwhile conversation

You can take a look at my history if you really think that. I think the way I choose to engage with people leaves it pretty unambiguous whether I’m engaging with people in good faith. My previous main is @Cris_Color@lemmy.world if you think three months of history is a red flag of some sort.

Take care.

Yes, I would like better representation than I have, and that means being willing to criticize the party’s failings 😅

I don’t thing the process of democracy really works if people just have blind allegiance to a party. I’m frustrated that my best choice has consistently let me down, that doesnt make me an asshole.

I’d very much like for them to fix their shit, I think defeating fascism depends on it, and that means recognizing the ways they’ve fallen short.

My brother in Christ I have voted straight ticket Democrat in every single election I have every participated in, which has been every single one I can. And your assumption that I’m a single issue voter makes me feel like you’re making a lot of assumptions about who I am, which is frustrating

I am not a single issue voter. And I consistently show up and vote democrat. Please don’t make the assumption that I fit into the caricature of “only cares about one issue and won’t vote”

I don’t say this to try and be a dick, I think its important to be able to have discussions around these topics, but a party’s platform document really is not important to me. Their voting record is. Their actions are. And the more I learn about politics the more their voting record and actions the last 10-20 years frustrate me.

I will 1000% give credit it to Lina Khan. She was a godsend and gave me hope that maybe the american political apparatus could actually be operated in good faith by someone who understands what it means to be a civil servant.

When we did last had a senate majority under Obama he failed to pass a more impactful healthcare reform bill. And we got a version that he said was essentially just Mitt Romney’s healthcare bill. I have personally benefited from obamacare. And, we had the opportunity to pass something much more meaningful. And we just didnt.

Democratic foreign policy is horrifying. One of my closest friends is part of an ethnic and religious minority group that was subjected to ethnic cleansing after Obama backed a militant group controlling Egypt because it was momentarily convenient to our interests. If I remember right the statistics she told me were that the population dropped from something like 15% to 5% in a matter of a few years. Because of it she went into intelligence research (as an academic, not working for the government) and now lives with the imagery of people (often her people) being executed burned into her head because she specialized in propaganda and recruitment materials made by radical Islamic terror groups, and lots of radical Islamic terrorist groups love using video of executions and beheadings as recruitment material. She left the field because she can’t do it anymore.

We outright refused to engage with the fact that Israel is intentionally killing an entire civilian population as an issue lots of people care about last election. We still aren’t even all on the same page about it.

It feels like they have done nothing but present themselves as progressive without actually doing any of the progressive shit that would fix people’s problems. Every time we’ve gotten a genuinely progressive candidate the party’s response has been to degrade them and try to undercut their efforts.

And frankly, I think we could have had a much stronger hold of the legislature if we actually put forward candidates that folks believed cared about their issues on any kind of regular basis, instead of just people taking lots of corporate campaign funding and posturing about how much we care about minorities without putting forward policies that would help said minorities in any meaningful way

There are probably meaningful accomplishments that the democratic party has accomplished that I’m blind or ignorant to, and you’re welcome to inform me of them. I’d like to have a more well rounded perspective. And at the same time, I don’t think its unreasonable of me to be angry with them. They have taken a frankly ungodly amount of corporate money. The DNC’s document outlining what went wrong last election was an actual joke, that blamed their loss on voters.

Sorry for the ridiculously long reply. A lot of my thoughts on this subject are still ill-formed and inconcrete enough to be difficult to communicate concisely.

Weirdly that link doesn’t work for me either 😅 I figured it was just my browser but it didnt work in chrome, firefox, or cromite, so something is fucked up on my end, but I dunno what it is lol

Edit: yeah, something is jank with it on my end, I just opened it via search, the link was the same. I copy pasted it into another tab and that worked fine. And then I put it in a comment in my lemmy client and clicked on the URL and it didnt work just like with yours 🤷🏻‍♂️ who knows lol

In all fairness “kinda slow to get with the times” is at least a slight underrepresentation of how culpable democrats are for the current political moment 😅

They are not the same. And they are also clearly almost exclusively accountable to their donors, and for a very hot minute now have done nothing to meaningfully adress the countries class-based dysfunction (that disproportionately impacts minorities) while championing minorities in almost exclusively superficial ways that have laid the groundwork for the current cataclysmic anti-inclusionary social movement thats feeding our rapid decent into neo-fascism.

Slow to get with the times is more than just being charitable. They kinda suck. They are not a monolith, no group is, but there is good reason why people call them controlled opposition. I’d like for people to be wrong about that and for them to fix their shit. Because fixing the Democratic party still feels easier than uprooting the deeply entrenched two party system, and there are candidates that make me hopeful… But I’m not holding my breath :/

That link seems broken for me, it says “bad title”

Interesting, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen it typed before! Thank you! ☺️

Thank you for the context

Is the guy actually trans? I don’t quite follow the situation that prompted all this 😅

wildly extreme

Uhhh. I mean. They’re not wrong per se… 😅

He’s advocating murdering pregnant women; wildly extreme doesnt quite seem to cover it
