I taught my son to be a conscientious objector.

I caught hell for that, especially in conversations in my very, very small town where many people sent their kids into this meat grinder.

I told my son he was too good for that, and some locals hate me for that. Like they thought I was saying my son was better than theirs.

No, I just understand the system, and I’m not going to groom my kid to be chopped meat. You don’t have to do that either.

You do you. That’s not beautiful to me, though, e: and my son is the most beautiful thing in the world to me.

I was answering this as a dev and designer. That’s why this is more work.

No, but when I say something controversial, I tend to monitor replies for a short while in case anyone responds.

I don’t tend to troll, but I’d expect a troll to monitor even longer, since otherwise what’s the point?

(Hence, I’m still in here.)

Of course he did. No reason to debate this here; we all know this is abominable and he is a monster.

Can we chat about how a malignant narcissist who is willing to commit atrocities and has apparently decided he’s going to hell anyhow (and has become kinda obsessed with that) has access to the largest nuclear arsenal on earth? With the walls closing in?

Generationalism always happens. There are better things to spend your brain on.

I keep trying to relate this to when we started mass-producing books. It must have been the same. We integrated that tech and got better.

I am not personally a fan right now.

I was just poking at you. ;)

Oh, then the dipshit is definitely going to try it.

You were supposed to zoom in more, here:

For your layout preferences, colours, other UI options, states (what ‘back’ means), things like that, usually.
If you have an account, what page you were on last, your history so it can give you related items, and other ‘convenience’ features.

Less ethical sites use them to advertise to you, and (more rarely) some scammers use them to scam you.

Most are benign, but some are not.

There are literally tens of thousands of them right now.

How are they going to enforce hundreds of sanctions covering that many people?

This is how you shatter the law… break it so much, it’s literally impossible to enforce.

This is what the mob does, and it’s no coincidence trump has ties to the mob going back decades.

Doesn’t the SecDef have more important things to do right now?

More important than thinking about children’s genitals?

He’s in the GOP. So no.

Ah, but see, these are his plastic soldiers. There’s no threat to himself and they’re not real people, so it doesn’t matter.

Really? Prove it.

e: you’ve had an hour. It shouldn’t take this long to prove something you so confidently asserted.

GenX, who lived through the last war with Iran:

😱

Just vote for trump. It’s all the same.

Right? It’s getting hard to talk to people nowadays because everyone seems brainwashed.

But you can’t get them out of it. Asking people to not check those feeds every day is like asking them to go without water.

I don’t like Veteran’s Day and I’ve been called out for that.

I do respect and appreciate veterans for what they’ve done, but I cannot respect or celebrate the military complex that has thrown people into a meat grinder and then discarded them for decades, which is what that day represents to me.

I cannot support these wars, where people are brainwashed, used, then cast aside, to benefit elites and politicians who will never feel that pain and will literally party when dropping their bombs.

Fuck everything about that.

Everyone wants a demon bursting through the ground in an explosion of lava. There are classes for that. Nobody has ever asked for a scarf in our game, and our code doesn’t even know what a neck is.
