  • No, you are not. I'm in the same boat. The only thing I know about him is he is a big shot youtuber. Never seen anything he's ever done to be "famous".

    Nor do I care to. And I can't be arsed to even read the article about him.

  • To be fair, I don't care for either the CyberTruck or the Prius.

    But yes, there is a lot of social backlash against owners of the Cyber Truck. But it just ain't "females". It's all of us laughing at you.

  • Yes I know he's running for VP. Playing games on line is a publicity stunt and not a political rally. It's a "Hey look at me! I'm cool because I streamed playing a video game to show how cool I am!" stunt.

    It might impress small children, but not adults. Not that it matters much to me. I already voted for Harris/Walz based on platform NOT on a stupid streamed video game.

  • No, we discussed public education.

    There is a difference between him having fun and and a meaningless publicity stunt.

  • As a Minnesotan, I have voted for Walz twice. I have even spoken to him directly.

  • He ran the ferry boat across the Styx to the underworld and had a 3 headed dog..........

  • For the kind of money flagship phones go for these days, I want that bastid waterproof down to 300 meters AND last a week.

  • This is stupid. I didn't vote for these two to play video games.

  • That's a crunchy mom?

  • I agree about the name being horrible, but parents are going with more and more, let's just say 'unusual' names, spellings and pronunciations these days. I've got a Grandson named Charon. Socially, it hasn't really been a bonus for him.

  • I don't know about that. I think he just doesn't care about some "brown" people getting genocided. Unless there is graft he can profit from, then he will care. And I'm sure there will be a For Sale sign on the White House lawn about it.

  • Yes, dictatorships and monarchies sometimes have a petition process, but they tend only to pay lip service. Not because they care, they will do as they please becaue they have the power-- hence a dictatorship. See: North Korea or a few countries in the middle east. Imagine trying to petition the Afghani government as a gay or worse, a trans person.

    Governments of any kind are large and ponderous beasts. They cannot change direction as easily as you would like. And like it or not, there are rules and processes that must be followed to make changes. And those things are in place to provide continuity in government and protections to the populace at large. Imagine how much more damage trump could have done without those processes and rules. Imagine what he could do if he wins again after the last SCOTUS ruling.

    Like it or not, Biden is bound by a lawful treaty ratified and codified by congress a long time ago. He cannot undo that treaty on a whim. Only congress can do that at this point. Make your changes there. And representatives and senators are local elections and not national. Best of all, YOU could be the change you want. Don't expect someone else to do it for you.

  • Before the radiation poisoning.

  • But it IS the process to get it done. I never said it was ideal. If you don't like the process, then vote for those that WILL change the process. But that takes time. Until then, we ARE stuck with the laws we currently have in place. That is the reality of the situation. I hope this helps you understand representative democracy vs a dictatorship.

  • I've never really liked the UI in LibreOffice either. It's usable, but always felt clunky to me. And it feels so heavy and ponderous to use. That says something from someone who wears the sackcloth and ashes of FreeCAD.......

    I did use OnlyOffice for a bit and I thought it was better for my needs than LibreOffice. But it was still overkill my current needs. So now I'm down to just AbbyWord and Gnumeric since I only need the odd document and simple spreadsheet.

    Edit for missed word

  • Or more likely, Chrome browser these days......

  • I have taught an introductory course in 3D CAD in my local high school. The sheer number of kids that have no clue on how to use a simple mouse is astounding. If it ain't touch screen, they are clueless.

  • My question is-- What did you learn from this?

  • Ding! Ding! Here is the correct answer.

    I'm beginning to think that liberals and lefties have no clue how government works and they want a strongman/dictator as much as the magahat idiots. They just want one that aligns with their beliefs instead.

    The POTUS is NOT all powerful and can make what ever decisions they want. Controlling the house and senate is far more important than whoever is living in the White House. The House and Senate writes the laws and checks to pay for everything. AND they ratify the treaties making them formally binding.

    If you want to stop the genocide, elect the people in the house and senate that will effect the actions needed to make it happen.
