Exactly. America has moved so far to the right that the “leftist” party is swarmed with people like Joe Manchin, and it’s presidential candidate is the author of the god awful crime bill that’s worked to imprison untold numbers of people unjustly and along racial lines disproportionate. And supports genocide. And censures it’s only Palestinian congresswoman for….pointing out the reality of what’s going on.

Lovely country. Lovely I tell you.

At least our national parks are nice.

pensivepangolin,

Good catch on the typo; updated accordingly.

I didn’t say they’re the same parties. I said both right wing. The democrats are a right wing party. The republicans are…a right-er wing party determined to cosplay their way into abject fascism.

There is no true left wing party that is currently viable in America. That needs to change. The two party system is an abomination and it’s stranglehold on the country is both pathetic and infuriating.

pensivepangolin,

Oh, okay i understand now! Cheers mate!

pensivepangolin,

I wish this was satire but it’s just weirdly fetishistic propaganda. It’s not even subtle; it’s pathetic.

Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now - and companies literally just say 'oh bc profit margins' and we're now expected to swallow that and sympathize?

like I went to taco bell and they didn’t even have napkins out. they had the other stuff just no napkins, I assume because some fucking ghoul noticed people liked taking them for their cars so now we just don’t get napkins! so they can save $100 per quarter rather than provide the barest minimum quality of life features.

pensivepangolin,

Yep! And their short-sighted greed is going to drive us right to the brink of annihilation. We’re staring down the barrel of environmental collapse and our leaders are generally either old enough they assume they’ll die before it gets “that bad,” and the others stupidly think money makes them immune to the destruction of the biosphere. Anyone under 50 right now is going to live through some incredibly dark times. We are all dogs in a car with the windows closed and the heater on in a Texas parking lot. Business as usual is going to get really ugly, really quickly, really soon.

pensivepangolin,

That’s an excellent phrase.

pensivepangolin,

Oh yes Marxism…the religion started by the man who termed religion the opiate of the masses.

How can I search content from websites I visit with full-text search and tags?

Hey everyone, I’m looking for a way to save content from the websites I visit manually or automatically, and then perform full-text searches exclusively within the saved content. Additionally, it would be great if there’s a feature for adding tags, flair, or labels to categorize the saved content by topic. Does anyone have...

pensivepangolin,

ArchiveBox. Free and selfhosted.

pensivepangolin,

Let’s also not forget about “artisinal” mining. The conditions it’s practitioners work in are horrendous. Environmental justice can and always should vindicate the rights and welfare of the workers.

pensivepangolin,

I’m sorry to be the spelling guy but it’s “forbid” not “phorbid”

pensivepangolin,

Yeh this is just thinly veiled propaganda.

pensivepangolin,

Fuck yeah! I don’t ever want to interact with another human in the flesh!

pensivepangolin,

I love treehouse! I just wish I lived nearby so I could actually get their beer!

pensivepangolin,

Without even getting to the technical issues….if you build a “fully operation” social platform, shouldn’t you host your blog on your shiny wonderful service that you’re promoting, instead of Medium?

That should raise an alarm without even knowing what the word encryption means.

pensivepangolin,

People seem to be missing that this not the result of trumps presidency. This is the result of a disgusting and systematic destruction of public resources and a rollback of the provision of public services. This was done at the same time that oversight and consequences were systematically removed from political operatives. (Thanks, Citizens United!) All of this has been accomplished by the rich in the name of further enrichment at the expense of every single person in the nation. And while they did this, they blasted us with increasingly limp propaganda.

I have a serious wake up call for people reading this article and taking it at face value: EVEN IF BIDEN WINS, DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA WILL STILL WHEEZING ITS LAST SAD BREATHS. And that won’t change until the deeper economic issues and the political operators fostering and worsening those issues are dealt with.

Yeah, obviously it’s worse if trump wins. But the fact Biden is being painted as a savior of Democracy is blatant propaganda by people supporting a party that has been complacent at best for creating the material conditions enabling trump to rise to any sort of political relevance. That should be a wake up call. Biden is a dogshit senile crank that authored one of the worst crime bills in our nation’s history.

Yeah: clearly, fuck trump. But dear god fuck Biden and the democrats too. They’re not the answer. We as a society need to fucking torch both parties and that, not voting for one of the two, is going to save democracy in America.

pensivepangolin,

Im a little offended that Monsanto thinks my sperm are insects if I’m being honest

pensivepangolin,

All media will be reality tv and marvel movies and you will love it or else

pensivepangolin,

I’m sorry if I’m missing something I’m the documentation, but is this feature going to be made available to those running their own Joplin server in the future?

I’m assuming there is some significant difficulty involved as it involves interaction with email (although I’ll admit that’s not a field I have any technical knowledge about).

Edit: my bad, I see Laurent himself replied to the same question on another post. Looks like the answer is it’s Joplin Cloud only!

pensivepangolin,

“I was comfy in there why the fuck did I have to come out?”

Court rules automakers can record and intercept owner text messages (therecord.media)

An Annapolis, Maryland-based company, Berla Corporation, provides the technology to some car manufacturers but does not offer it to the general public, the lawsuit said. Once messages are downloaded, Berla’s software makes it impossible for vehicle owners to access their communications and call logs but does provide law...

Everything’s a wiretap!

In what world does a VPN need access to Camera and Bluetooth? (i.imgur.com)

I am fully aware of what vpn services to use and not. I am not using Express VPN, I am simply doing research for a master thesis, when I came across these results from Express VPN. If you have any ideas or corrections, please let me know why a VPN provider would need to have access to these permissions....

pensivepangolin,

Well TIL; thank you for that!

pensivepangolin,

I’ve noticed that; I don’t know why, but recently the stores by me only have it every third time I go.

pensivepangolin,

It’s not “fancy,” but Old Granddad’s Bottled In Bond is delicious. It’s just a very good, rye heavy bourbon.

pensivepangolin,

I’ve seen footage!

pensivepangolin,

Yeah that’s the real summary.
