Ah, but you see, the primaries are rigged! They're rigged because, uh, um because the democrats are scared of change, yeah, and if we want real change we have to um. We have to uh.
I'm reminded of a Linus Tech Tips video in which they built a gaming PC with the express purpose of heating a room/house. To do this more effectively, they connected a bog-standard water cooling loop to an actual radiator like you would find plumbed into an old building, instead of using a purpose built PC water cooling radiator like every other water cooled PC ever built (I guess because they either thought it wouldn't dissipate enough heat (in which case why not just use more of them?) or because they forgot those existed). They flushed the radiator with water and vinegar before putting it to work and what came out of it was... colorful. Even after flushing it much more thoroughly, after putting it into the final setup, the system did not perform anywhere near as well as expected due to the copper water blocks inside the PC getting covered in rust and stopping conducting heat. Those systems are no joke.
obviously removing it immediately and without proper medical training and tools is a horrible idea. i don't think anyone's disputing that. but surgeons leaving bullets in people's shoulders is also not a universally applicable solution for the aforementioned reason
exactly. running an nmap scan alone involves minutes on end of just sitting there, waiting for nmap to do its thing, and hoping that the network administrator doesn't notice your computer running the most obvious port scan of all time, barge into your borrowed cubicle, and say "what the hell are you doing"
Fire sprinklers have two requirements: to be able to turn on immediately if they're ever needed, and to dispense something capable of extinguishing a fire. In order to accomplish this, the pipes that feed them are constantly, 24/7, full of water, providing constant pressure on the sprinkler head to be ready to feed it with water in case it ever needs to go off. These water pipes are generally not used for anything else, so the water does not tend to circulate. In fact, there's usually a sensor in them that detects if the water is flowing (and thus if any sprinklers have been triggered, providing somewhere for it to go) and activates the building's fire alarm. When a fire sprinkler goes off, the water that comes out has been sitting in that pipe (an iron pipe if you're lucky, a lead pipe if you're not) basically since the building was built.
There are two choices in the United States 2024 election. No third party stands a ghost of a chance of winning. No, not even if the 30,000 people you can reach on Lemmy all vote for Timothy Greenparty.
A Trump victory in 2024 would not only be just as bad if not worse for the citizens of Gaza than Harris would (Harris has at least said she wants Israel to stop. Trump wants them to finish the job), but would also pose an existential threat to a large number of vulnerable Americans (trans people, immigrants, women seeking abortions).
Given the margins of victory in 2016 and 2020, Kamala might not win if leftists don't vote for her.
Snoozing fascism for four years is better than inviting it through the door now, and buys us time to build our defenses for when it comes back.
Regardless of whether you do anything else to fight fascism or not, if you don't vote, or you vote third party, you raise the chances that a Hitler admirer will enter the white house.
I'd like to focus my counterargument. Which of these statements do you disagree with?
Blocking communities that drive you crazy would also probably really benefit you.
Oh I do. And users. And sometimes whole instances. I've still yet to go an entire week without getting into an argument with a troll spanning at least three hours and coming away knowing nothing I didn't before.
