Ya, I'm just going to say no. Morality has nothing to do with it, nor does kindness in the ethical sense. Not every courteous or considerate act automatically rises to the level of a moral concern.
If you feel that way, fine, you're entitled to that view, and there's nothing wrong with it. But objectively, choosing not to rewind a tape causes no harm, violates no duty, and infringes on no one's rights.
At best, rewinding it is a small courtesy. It does not constitute a moral or ethical dilemma.
To be fair to myself, I do have very clear memories of rewinding tapes prior to returning them to the video store.
I think I did it because I was instructed to and for no other reason aside from it literally costing nothing but a minute in the tape player.
Even as a child, I never really understood this concept and I am old enough to remember going to video stores a lot. But you're rewinding one way or the other. Why does it matter if you're doing it when you just get the cassette or when you're done watching it?
And video stores were super adamant about this too.
Just in case because this is the internet at the end of the day. Fahrenheit is not linked to a percentage of anything. It's mostly arbitrary in terms of assigning a number scale to temperature and it's linked to brine solutions and human body temperature.
Dude. I've looked everywhere. I can't find a single fuck to give!
Seriously! They're not under the couch or in the fridge...
Hold on... Nope none in my hat.
O well 🤷
The next day: so I did find a whole bunch inside the toilet water tank. Unfortunately I've decided to hold on to all them and I'm not going to be giving any away.
Ladies and gentlemen, you must understand that the problem is far more severe than many believe. For many voters, this is not a matter of choosing a better candidate. Most of the time, they do not know who they are voting for, or why. They vote by party alone: Republican or Democrat.
The ballot is divided along party lines, and they simply proceed down the list, checking every box for their chosen party.
They fail to comprehend that they are voting for individuals who act against their own interests. They assume that new Republicans are better than the old ones, without evidence or understanding. This is a profoundly failed system, and its dysfunction is self-evident
That photograph is unbearable because it traps a man in the exact second before his murder. He is alive, kneeling, terrified, and fully aware that the next sound he hears will be the gunshot that ends him. The camera steals even that last mercy, forcing him to die forever, over and over, every time someone looks. He is not a symbol or a lesson, he is a human being caught at the instant the world decides he no longergets to exist.
This isn't how our law enforcement is supposed to work we're not supposed to prove anything to them. They have to attain enough evidence to arrest someone. The burden of proof is on them, what probable cause did they have to arrest that boy? Is he going to get a probable cause hearing. Is that dhs asshat going to file a report?
Of course, Fred Rogers had political affiliations and views, but he did not communicate them through his show. In fact, he was careful to limit his political ideology, given his dedication to helping children develop.
I believe this quote from McCain reiterates that sentiment. The fact that this post is framing her statement as something disingenuous is very telling about how this community has changed.
How are we any different from the politicians we criticize when we do the exact same thing to support our own narratives?
If you want to dual boot, the best way to do it is with an internal drive.
For the smoothest operation, I strongly recommend using an internal drive with only Windows installed, and a separate boot drive for Linux, such as a portable hard drive. Linux Mint works particularly well in this setup.
Obama absolutely deported a massive number of people, historically high numbers, enough that immigration advocates at the time openly called him the “Deporter-in-Chief.” That part is not a myth.
The difference is how those deportations were carried out. Under Obama, enforcement was largely focused on recent border crossers and people already in custody, often through expedited removals. It was bureaucratic, procedural, and mostly invisible to the public. There weren’t constant interior raids, and long-term residents were increasingly deprioritized later in his presidency.
Trump, on the other hand, did not surpass Obama’s totals, but he radically changed the operating philosophy. Interior enforcement was aggressive, highly visible, and deliberately public. Priority categories were loosened to the point of meaninglessness, and the enforcement itself became part of the political messaging.
So if you’re talking about raw numbers, Obama qualifies. If you’re talking about tactics, visibility, and the lived experience inside the country, Trump’s approach is what most people actually mean when they say “mass deportation.”
Same machinery. Very different mode of operation.
Only people who deny evolution say morality is objective. Thankfully I am an avid proponent of evolution.
