Having interacted with a number of Trump supporters over the years, they legitimately talk nonsense like this daily. This is nothing new. If anything, it makes them like him more because he’s like them, and they want to be him.

What’s actually rare is when he insults someone and they are surprised or don’t like that he said that. But no, most supporters latch onto the phrase and repeat it themselves

Macho hyper masculinity and nationalism supplanting education will do that :(

Kinda similar, letting perfect be the enemy of progress.

Regardless of everything, I appreciate having this conversation with you. There’s a lot of facets to these issues and the genocide of Palestine is close to home, as is the hate crime experienced during 2016. There is rarely an easy solution, and as a result often times it comes down to seemingly irreconcilable ideologies. I feel that humanitarianism is how we can bridge the gap, but of course that requires the ideology to be willing to accept something. Hence the intolerance of the intolerant.

For what it’s worth, like there is no good Nazi, I genuinely feel there is no good Zionist, as the ideology inherently holds a false assumption (probably a better word can be used) used to perpetuate the belief. So, I hope you can understand my statements as coming from a place of wanting change to be an option, rather than as dismissal of Israel’s genocide.

The United States education system In 2016 was given one goal with the appointment of Betsy DeVoss (sister to Erik Price of Black Water) as the Secretary of Education, to dismantle the education system. They succeeded, and it has only just started to turn around. The EPA gone for 4 years. The role of government severely diminished its ability to work for its citizens in so many places. So to destroy our ability to govern under a conservative government seems to not align with our goals, as not only do they supply even more weapons for war, have hateful rhetoric against our ally (citizens ally, Palestine), all while losing the growth of American citizens to me, seems like a surefire way to make sure Israel is never stopped.

By bolstering education, bolstering our ability to govern and make change, which bolsters the citizens ability to have meaningful votes - that is how we stop Israel.

Not by abstaining and letting it all fail. By doing everything we can to make sure that progress is made, and we cannot let perfect be the enemy of progress else no progress will ever be made. The only way that I personally see Palestine being safe is by making sure the people we have the opportunity to vote in feel the same way you and I do. And that, historically, cannot happen with Trump as president.

This has been our discussion the whole time. You mentioned 2020, I said you really think it would be better under Trump. At no point did I imply that he was current president, my point the whole time has been that Trump’s rhetoric would be far worse for Palestinians on U.S. soil and abroad. There would be no discussion of ceasefire. There would be far more death in the world happening, and it would be lauded by Trump and his voters.

Instead we have a huge swathe of citizens appalled by the actions of Biden with a huge amount of support for Palestine. Furthermore, unfortunately a President is more than one policy, so while I may vote for Kamala when the time comes, it will be for her environmental policies, not for her stance towards Israel. Believe me, I am dismayed. I’m from Oakland, I know what she has done. At the same time, she cares for the education system, the environment, and for all of the other things our country is massively failing in when it was thrown under the bus in 2016.

To say that Biden’s Presidency has been the worst thing for Palestinians seems inaccurate solely because the citizens of the U.S. desperately want to help. We also desperately do not want Trump again, nor to have to deal with the people who vote for him. How can we reconcile that? It seems most have accepted that the ability to vote for people who can make change eventually is better than voting for someone who has actively removed LGBT and PoC politicians from holding office (or have removed themselves for fear of their own safety which is really the same thing).

It makes no sense to watch our country fall to ruin in government while the same happens to Palestine in war. When it does, then we really can’t help at all, because the people in power will only be supplying weapons of mass destruction and the “lip service” of discussing ceasefires are a thing of the past. We have to have nuance in these situations, else we commit even more atrocities without ever having even a small chance of rectifying it. To me, this isn’t just about the President, as they are just one figurehead that is most public. It’s about the cabinet and our government as a whole and their ability to functionally serve.

In addition to the statement you posted, I also recently read a report that some 70% of U.S. citizens are demanding a ceasefire, and some 90% of those in government are against it. Well guess what, that percentage won’t ever change if we don’t vote, and it will change even less if a conservative government like Trump’s comes back, given that he singlehandedly decimated our civil servants (with a strong quarter of those positions still gone today). To have a government that doesn’t serve it’s people is a failing of the United States. To have a government where the citizens cannot even vote in future elections is no longer a democratic republic.

… That makes it sound like Palestinians all over the world should be killed because of Israel.

I strongly disagree if that’s the case. It is a good thing that U.S. citizens are on the side of Palestinians, even if our government hasn’t been successful in calling for a ceasefire, I cannot possibly see how having a president actively siding against Palestine would be good. Trump told Israel to finish the problem. It is that simple.

I dunno, I feel like Palestinians on U.S. soil would have been in far more danger with Trump as president. Just given the events of all the hate crime directed towards people of color during 2020.

The only times it’s OK are when it’s planned for specific softwares. For example, I can’t run Rocksmith 2014 on native Deck but it works fine in Windows. Similarly, software that’s OS limited would be another use.

But if your main thing is gaming, and you aren’t dual booting… Yeah, I’m judging you. (And I mainly use Windows on PC. But why, why, why would you need to only run Windows on a Steam Deck without a specific purpose

Came here to say, why is OP dealing with all these bloatware companies? Samsung is the Apple of Androids - decent hardware decent OS for those who like it, but ridiculously bogged down with prevention features.

I also have the Sony Xperia 1 IV and it’s been stellar. Lineage support if I don’t want the main Android, otherwise I’m pretty much free to do whatever I want on the phone. Plus I actually have a headphone jack still and an SD card slot.

Oh no at all! As I said I was merely responding :)

Not really a reason to be upset about this. Of all the kids content, Skibidi actually has themes. Just because it’s chaotic doesn’t mean it’s bad.

Do you feel that the genocide would have been avoided had Trump won 2020? Because he told Israel to “finish the problem”.

For some odd reason I have a feeling we would be in an even worse situation, with no opportunity for a ceasefire.

It’s ASUS, I think that answers itself

I definitely agree, but logic isn’t the strongsuit of many of his voters.

This guy is a way better person, but I can’t help but think about how little it mattered when Trump was talking badly about McCain.

I feel like he would just make stuff up, say insulting things about him, and talk poorly and aggressively about his wife. Kinda like he did to the candidates in 2016 like Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush.

The only thing I can think of is the way in which her Back on Track policy functioned. From my understanding, it was created specifically with non-violent (drug) offenders in mind. This could be something as simple as possession with weed.

The Back on Track program, again from my understanding, would effectively have the convicted person admit to their felony, which would then be expunged in part of the program.

Ah, here it is: https://bja.ojp.gov/sites/g/files/xyckuh186/files/Publications/BackonTrackFS.pdf

BOT participants are young adults, ages 18–30, who are facing charges for their first felony offense1 for a low-level drug sale. At charging, prosecuting attorneys refer potential participants to BOT.2 Candidates attend a program orientation and participate in an intensive community service program for a 6-week probationary period. Only defendants who complete 6 weeks of community service and decide to participate are eligible for enrollment. They plead guilty to charges and have their formal sentencing deferred and, after enrolling, start a rigorous, 12–18 month program with goals set by an individualized personal responsibility plan (PRP). The PRP mandates concrete achievements in employment, education, parenting, and child support and requires participants to perform up to 220 hours of community service. In addition, enrollees are closely supervised. They meet three times per week with a BOT case manager and appear in BOT reentry court three times per month, at which a superior court judge and prosecutor track their progress in meeting program requirements and completing the PRP.

To graduate from the program, participants must find employment, enroll in school full time, and comply with all the terms of their PRPs. At graduation, the court dismisses the original case, leaving the graduate with a clean record.3 If an individual still enrolled in the program is charged with a new crime or fails to meet BOT requirements, he or she is removed from BOT, and a judge can immediately impose a jail or prison sentence.

So some feel like it was pointed to force non-felons into a felony status. Which is true, if they didn’t complete the program. But, the program also allowed for education in place of prison time. Which I’m sure happened, but I’m not sure if they would be considered in the image above. If anyone is curious, here’s some bullet points on her timeline.

She was the first one to call for a ceasefire and asking Israel to give aid to Gazans. She may be complicit but to say that she’s done nothing seems inaccurate.

I remembered they had port forwarding on regular plans but I didn’t want to give any wrong info, and couldn’t look it up to confirm at the time.

That’s good to hear, the nice thing about that is their free plans (free 10gb, free 50gb) should be able to utilize that as well which is pretty nice.

I’m on T-Mobile Home Internet which is inherently double natted, no way around it. For most gaming it doesn’t matter, but it’s a pain in the ass for anything related to personal servers, or homebrew projects like Slippi (Smash Bros Melee online). So, with a free plan one could potentially get away with not even having to pay for a monthly fee, there’s a lot of uses for port forwarding that use next to no data
