  • if Progressives are supposed to vote blue no matter who, then Centrists can too. If someone like Mamdani beats Newsom in the 2028 primary they can suck it up and vote for him.

    They should. But like the many left-abstainers in 2024, it remains to be seen if they will.

    If someone like Mamdani runs in the 2028 primary (Mamdani himself being sadly ineligible), they will have my general and primary vote. God forbid a shithead neolib like Newsom gets through.

    But 'Blue No Matter Who' is an expression of desperation against the fascists in the GOP, not a magic formula, as much as we wish it was.

  • If only.

    I mean, not that it would solve our underlying problems. But it'd feel good for a few minutes to know that the moronic Nazi fuck is dead.

  • I laugh, but I cry

  • Me, not knowing where my phone is or the last time I used it:

  • Law, like history, is but a fable agreed upon

  • I had a wisdom tooth go fucky on me. 'Impacted' - thing was fucking sideways, and rotted out. A nightmare, couldn't chew on my right side at all. Was lucky enough to be living in a blue state that offered dental for Poors(tm) when it happened - they were willing to cover an impacted tooth at the local hospital. They jabbed the world's biggest needle into my jaw, and yanked it out. Didn't feel a thing at the time (other than the needle, which was like getting jabbed in the bone), though I spent the next month in agony once the anesthesia wore off.

    They wouldn't let me take it with me after they extracted it, said it was a 'biohazard'. Wish I'd pocketed it anyway when they weren't looking.

  • Uno reverse

    Unironically, though, most of the surveillance techniques I oppose being used against the general public, I support being used against the police. If cops want to continue to exist, they should be at least held to a higher standard.

  • What, did you find some more sexual assault and genocide to deny? I know that always amuses you.

  • Nah. The only reason I came to this thread was because I was pinged. I generally stay out of dbzer0 comms at this point. As the audience here shows, Dbzer0 comms are quite alright with genocide and atrocity denial these days, which is unfortunate. I don't remember it being like that at first, but maybe I just didn't see it.

  • I mentioned that I clicked on a user's profile after seeing them comment because I was interested in what they were up to lately, and that I found it to be mostly bad (unsurprisingly). Things that I read on their profile that I disagreed with and found sufficiently vile to regard as a negative to even be said, I downvoted.

    Said user went to the dbzer0 admins to accuse me of 'downvote trolling' for this, admitting that I had only downvoted comments I disagreed with. The dbzer0 admins agreed that downvoting comments that one disagrees with (if the person being disagreed with is one of Their's(tm) ) is 'downvote trolling' and temp-banned me.

  • Downvoting comments I disagree with was considered "downvote trolling"

  • I'm not banned, and the idea that I'm a compulsive liar is laughable. I guess it hurts that I come with receipts when I make claims?

  • I was temp-banned. The only awful experience I had was the temp-ban, which was over the admins deciding that downvoting things you disagree with is, apparently, against the rules (when they want it to be).

  • Stopping people from going about their day is a legitimate tactic. "No justice, no peace" and all that jazz.

    It does generally require a much larger group with more sustained activity, though.

  • It's funny how that works on here.

  • Based

  • that’s awesome, i happen to agree.

    That's funny, because elsewhere in this comment section you literally disagree that negative sentiment against this man for stealing research to give to the PRC for their own ends is justified.

  • Ultraracism is when a Chinese national is accused of stealing research after being caught stealing research?

    When the project was approximately 70% finished, Li said he had taken up to 90 GB of research. When confronted by hospital officials, Li said he worked to convince them that he had permanently deleted the material while concealing it through a China-based cloud company.

    Multiple U.S. entities, including the Department of Defense and the National Institute of Health, have federally funded Li's research. As a condition of such work, documents show Li signed several forms acknowledging it was confidential, with strict rules around storage and sharing.

    The forms also stated Li did not have relationships with foreign institutions overlapping his MD Anderson responsibilities and was not receiving outside financial compensation.

    However, Li wrote that he retained his employment at a Chinese state-affiliated hospital while working at MD Anderson.

    "When I accepted a post-doctoral position at MDACC in 2022, I retained my employment position at the First Affiliated Hospital. The First Affiliated Hospital continued to pay me a reduced salary through 2023 and has held my employment position there pending my return from the United States," he wrote.

    Charging documents state Li published research for the Chinese hospital while working at MD Anderson and received grant funding from the Chinese government.

    On July 1, Li resigned from his position at MD Anderson. Days later, federal authorities stopped him at Bush Airport, reportedly in possession of the material.

    Charging documents state Li told investigators he planned to permanently return to the state-affiliated hospital and use the purportedly stolen material for continued research.

    Despite acknowledging that MD Anderson would likely publish the work in the near future, Li reportedly told investigators he felt it was "going to waste"
