That looks like a really interesting book! I’ve added it to my Kindle. Thanks for the post!

I definitely need to learn how to shoot, I did when I was a kid but haven’t gone shooting in a long time. Unfortunately, I don’t feel safe to actually get armed just because of my own mental health. I do have friends who are armed, though, and they’re willing to come help if need be.

Im trans and I have multiple trump people in my neighborhood. My partner and I have agreed us putting up either pride flags or Harris signs would simply make ourselves targets since we live in a red state and county. I don’t want people like this to put me on a list so they can come and attack the house if their fascist leader comes into power. Something that while they would want to do, I’m not positive they’d actually have the guts to do.

Regardless, this shit terrifies me.

There “was” a time? The gay and trans panic defense is still legal in a multitude of states and while it’s not as successful as it used to be, people still use it and get off without prison time.

I’m gonna assume you’re still talking about the Nazis since that was your original comment so let’s look at the reichstag breakdown of the election prior to Hitler being appointed Chancellor.

The Social Democrats won 121 seats in November 1932, the communists won 100 seats. The Social Democrats were socialists and the communists were communists. The nazis had 196 seats in the 1932 election. So if the socialists and communists had combined they would have had 221 seats which is more than 196. And those were leftist parties who were bickering. So if the leftists had combined they would have kept Hitler from being chancellor when he was appointed that in January 1933. But what about the centre party? Well, they had 70 seats and had a significant wing that was left and wanted to work with the social democrats. Now if we are conservative about it and say just 25 of those 70 were leftists, that would bring the 221 up to 246. And if the other 45 went to the nazis, which all of them never would because it was a big tent with diverse view points, that would have brought a nazi coalition to 241. So not as big of a majority but still a majority for leftists.

So yes, again, if the socialists, communists, and leftist wing of the centre party had combined their powers and hadn’t been bickering, hitler wouldn’t have been chancellor.

Basic source for the election results of November 1932. There’s more pages for the parties and stuff on there so go ahead and poke around.

Depends on how “safe” the states are. If its by just 100,000 then that’s not as safe as you think. If it’s by 600,000 then yeah that’s pretty safe. But at the same time why vote for a party that won’t win?

Also, the PSL is not your friend. Back in 2020 they realized they weren’t gonna get the Peace and Freedom nomination in 2020, so instead of having solidarity with their fellow socialists, they threw their weight behind the joke candidate Roseanne Barr. They blatantly sabotaged their fellow socialists because they realized they weren’t going to win. They are not a party worth your investment.

Here’s a great article about them and their shit.

Number 2 is wrong. The nazis never had a majority, only a plurality. If the other parties, the social democrats, the communist party, and the Centre party had banded together instead of fighting amongst themselves, he wouldn’t have been made Chancellor.

If your second paragraph is implicating who I’m thinking since you’re basically using a direct quote of theirs, then I’m not at all surprised by them blocking you. They love to take quotes out of context or ignore half of a quote for their own benefit. I love that you’re directly calling them out. Good on you for actually knowing how our election system works.

As long as they understand the ramifications of voting for who they want to and don’t try to say they don’t hold any responsibility for the outcome of their decision.

I think you dropped something from my comment.

I support and respect everyone’s right to vote for whoever they want to. As long as they understand the ramifications of voting for who they want to and don’t try to say they don’t hold any responsibility for the outcome of their decision.

Dunno if anyone has brought this up but Trump basically never looked at Harris. Even had his face turned her direction and just looked at the moderators. The only time he looked at her was when he was forced to at the start where she went to shake his hand. Dude hates her so much.

Here’s the page. There’s moments of specifics, and moments where I wish there was a bit more detail. But overall, now people shouldn’t be able to say she doesn’t have any policy positions. They still will though.

The dude is doing a live tour right now, or is about to be, and one of his shows is gonna have Alex Jones as a guest. This is not surprising and if anything, is super expected.

“Biblocal prophecies,” you say? Hmm. What prophecy in the Bible pertains to what’s supposed to happen when Jews are in complete control of the Holy Land? It couldn’t possibly be that they believe they need to support Israel so that Armageddon happens and they get raptured up into heaven, could it?

Nah. That’d be completely irrational and would show that the people who believe that have no right to be deciding policy for the future of the planet since they’re planning on leaving it as soon as possible.

Oh, those people have definitely had a conviction on their records impact them. Although I’m fairly sure the ones that didn’t go to prison were misdemeanors, so not felonies. But regardless, I just think it’s important context to know more about the 1900 number. Is it still not the best? Yeah. But it’s also not as black and white as she sent 1900 people to prison for weed.

1900 people were convicted, but only 45 of them went to prison. The rest were referred to addiction services and work release programs.

You literally posted an article about Stein being a spoiler candidate. That’s the entire point of the article, that her and the libertarian candidate could cost Harris the election. That’s “spoiling” the election.

In order for a third party to win and dethrone the shitty reality of a 2 party system, that third party has to have the infrastructure of members in the house and senate so that if they win, people will work with them, and the party has to have people rally behind them. The problem right now is that there aren’t third parties currently in the house or senate, Independents don’t count cause there is no Independent party. And there isn’t a third party candidate people are trying to rally behind. It’s Jill Stein, or Cornell West, or Claudia de la Cruz, or Jasmine Sherman or others. It’s never one singular candidate. In order for a third party to win, it has to be 1 candidate. And people who advocate to vote for a third party need to decide on who that 1 candidate should be. Because otherwise you’re splitting your vote between multiple candidates, cutting your chances of winning significantly.

If you think a third party should rise, fine. That’s understandable, the current parties have significant problems, what with one being nazis and the other not being as left as the populace would want. But unless you pick someone to advocate for and rally behind, your point is moot. You will never win.

Considering there are polls that have 2000 or more people and those are generally considered more reliable, 635 is pretty small. It might not be small in a gym, but it’s smaller than my graduating high school class. So it’s less reliable as such.

TL;DR: A poll in Minnesota of 635 likely voters showed her lead after the DNC went from 10 to 5 percent. And it also has a margin of error of ±4.5 percent. So in other words, this is a tiny ass poll with a margin of error almost the exact same size as the supposed lead being halved. I’m not saying it’s not possible, but with such a small poll, I don’t know how accurate this.

Quick notes from an avid jellyfin user. When you have a show or movie or whatever you want, not get identified, there’s a simple identify option you can do on the client on a computer or phone by clicking the 3 dots on the media. You get to search and label it. The only time this hasn’t appropriately assigned metadata for me was for shows with duplicate episodes in one mkv or whatever. That did take a lot of renaming, which did suck and is reasonable to not want to have to do. Especially for massive libraries.

I definitely agree about the roku client not having a marked as watched feature, that should be added.

There’s a lot of work to be done but it’s not just being done in the basic edition. For instance, there’s plugins that allow the skip credits and skip intro functions you want. And there’s ones for fanart, and allowing other databases of Metadata to select from. There’s a lot of plugins and more are being actively developed rather often. Even I’m trying to develop a “continue watching” feature like from Netflix, but it’s going slowly.

Jellyfin definitely takes more finagling than plex, i switched at the beginning of the year, but I’ve had multiple times since where my internet is out and because jellyfin is local network I’m still able to stream my media.

So yeah. Just some info about jellyfin. I get wanting the ease of plex, but I’ve personally really enjoyed adding the plugins and fucking around with everything it has.
