It’s just time travellers from original timeline that tried to prevent it, and time travellers from the fucked up resulting timeline that returned to fix everything back to at least what it was

in which case, enjoy your privilege

…for now

Am I right in my understanding that the ‘super high’ turnout of 2020 was still less than 50% of eligible voters? That really looks like maybe a minimum turnout threshold should exist :(

It will do nothing, and I personally don’t think it should be done. But as a thought experiment it shows that saying other authoritarian countries’ citizens that they just ‘didn’t riot hard enough and this are all to blame’ was a bit wrong

Problem is it took Roman empire hundreds of years of decline, the world now sure is faster but it can still take a lot of time for contemporary empires to fall

But if it’s on Truth Social then it’s certified true

Patriot isn’t someone blindly rooting for the government, I would say. Also I wish we didn’t have so many shitty governments to remind us about that

I tried to learn assembly for that, but never did after all

I should have added a ‘/s’, but I thought it is somewhat obvious, it really reminds of all the ‘git gud at C instead of doing Rust’

I need a sidekick like that, too

It’s a dig at people who don’t want to switch to memory-safe languages like rust.

Now that’s a stretch, it could be anything (no, it couldn’t, although I think this may have application to some other pairs of languages)

To be fair, I’m using Linux, MacOS with Darwin Nix for managing it, Windows, and I still am not sure what exactly is an operating system, what’s the role of kernel and all of the possible system software is. Well, I think kernel is for hardware abstraction, but other than that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

His Spidey Sense™ is so strong he responds before the question is asked (also this is why he made it in time, he was chasing a taxi an hour in advance to be just a bit late)

You’re right, I mixed up sophistry and fallacy. Better check next time

see them as tactical conversational attacks

Well, fallacies originally were not meant to fool yourself, but to win argument by any means. So you are describing a fallacy, even if it’s not called that

Only third party sync, I use Syncthing for that, works great most of the time

Well then they will have to slightly extend the term (until death do them part)

Remember not to skip your prescriptions

Also you missed their very subtle joke.

If it was a joke, it went way overboard

The article you linked (twice) has this text (highlight is mine):

The term also may be used to refer to the previous status of the Swan Islands, Hawaii, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines, as well as the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands when it existed

And a bit further in the Former Insular Areas it lists:

Puerto Rico: military government, 1899–1900; insular government, 1900–1952; became a commonwealth on July 25, 1952

It contradicts what you’re saying about Puerto Rico still being an Insular Area
