I’m guessing this is somewhat of a Hail Mary play for his career given that the walls are closing in on the ethics probe and him making plenty of enemies.
Yeah I’m sure senators will respond well to threats — as well as some house members did to threats from Gym Jordan to make him Speaker.
My boss says “you’ll”
I’m think you’re missing the point.
You face three choices:
- Most death and harm, 50% chance of happening
- Less death and harm, 50% chance of happening
- Principled choice for no death and harm, but that practically makes choice 1 more likely to happen because it has 0 chance of happening.
Choosing choice 3 is equivalent to choosing choice 1 because you’re contributing to choice 1 happening practically.
Choosing choice 3 is directly creating more death and harm than choosing choice 2 and in that way is morally worse.

Not disqualifying
Trump will bully the senators that go against him like he always does
Ukraine needs to ignore the US if it kowtows to Russia. Europe needs to step up and build its military and supply Ukraine with everything it needs, if necessary. Ukraine should also get some nukes.
India is super conservative. A lot of Trump’s biggest supporters are Indian in the US.
Pretty sure the Washington post did a full spread about Mastodon like a year ago. Despite this, I still can’t find any real major media outlets on there. Or maybe they exist, but I feel the thing holding mastodon back is discovery.

Doesn’t it take an act of Congress to create a new govt department?
If you had a choice to vote for the lesser of two evils and you didn’t, how is that not morally repugnant? You have more blood on your hands in my view.
Have people been keeping up on the news? Like privately Biden has been feuding with Netanyahu for months. It’s not like Biden is on board with what Netanyahu is doing. He’s been trying to change the course, but publicly attacking Netanyahu would have drawn a ton of fire from the right, which he was trying to avoid during the election season. It shocks me that people really think Biden is cheering this on.
Didn’t really try. Couldn’t get SteamVR working without lots of hacking. I ended up buying a smaller second hard drive and installing windows just for that use. Once I was done with that game, I haven’t booted into Windows since, as there is no reason to.

Feedback welcome for first build -- interested in linux gaming
It's my first time building a computer. I also haven't really done much PC gaming in the past 15 years, except on my Steam Deck. Actually, it is the Steam Deck that has convinced me to invest in a desktop PC with some more power. I like the Linux experience on Steam Deck and would like to stick with that if possible. I haven't used Windows in 15 years either, as I tend to use Mac OS and a bit of Linux for personal and work. Windows seems to just get worse and worse and I'd like to avoid it if possible.

In any case, I went with an AMD CPU because I've heard about Intel's recent corrosion issues. And, chose an NVidia GPU since I'd like to take advantage of ray tracing. I've heard the driver support can be a bit mixed on Linux, but I'm open to trying to make it work unless folks think it really is terrible. Any feedback is helpful.

What makes the average Lemmy user smarter than the rest of the population?
I’m always surprised by the quality of comments on Lemmy and the analysis provided, often by experts in their field. It gives a sense that the average Lemmy user is a lot smarter than the average member of the public.
Also, when it comes to politics, I think the average Lemmy user is pretty perceptive of what real power dynamics are at play and what interests society should be looking to promote.
It's been a pleasure to be on this platform with you all. Where do you all come from? And why is it so hard to find people like you in the real world?
Anyone shop on Temu? What are your best finds?
There can be a lot of junk on Temu admittedly, but it’s kind of fun to find a few deals.
Found a pair of Leatherman Raptor shears ($99 USD) for $12
Also found a Benchmade Follow Up Fixed Blade ($120 USD) for $16
Bought a drone for $15. It’s not high quality, but it’s a drone, for $15. Fun to mess around and learn with.
Anyone else find some deals? Or, got another suggestion besides Temu?
