Well something is going to trickle down…

His right hand is fine.

This is the same concept as a convection oven.

Cold, but still air? You’re going to form a little heat bubble around you that makes it less bad. But as soon as a moderate breeze comes through, you lose that heat bubble. If you’re wearing wind resistant clothes, you still have the layer of warm air at your skin.

They officially publish the snap, the flatpak and a deb in an apt repo.

No, they’re just in an abusive relationship with it.

I’m both.

The Afrikaners weren’t disenfranchised. The National Party held seats in parliament from shortly after its founding in 1914 and JBM Hertzog was prime minister from 1924-1939. The first prime minister of the Union of South Africa was Louis Botha, who was a Boer veteran.

The United Party was a centre-right party that was an alliance of Anglophone and Afrikaner whites as well as coloureds (n.b. for Americans: not what you’re likely thinking, so click the link). They lost the 1948 election to the far-right National Party, at which point the government of South Africa became dominated for 40 years by far-right Afrikaner grievance politics.

The most notable English-speaking member of parliament during apartheid was Helen Suzman.

Really? When did they make the switch?

Nice non sequitur. Thanks for confirming what I wrote.

Words have meanings. If you don’t want to answer the question because you’re embarrassed of the fact that you care for political purity over the lives of others, that’s on you.

Only one of the two major parties helped ensure that a good friend of mine had legal access to lifesaving healthcare recently, and it wasn’t Republicans. Pretending one party isn’t worse isn’t productive. How are you going to approach the spoiler effect, or do you simply not care about all the death and suffering that will result from strategy that doesn’t tackle the spoiler effect?

If the Republican party regains power in my state, my life is in danger. Even if I were so selfish as to only care about having “got mine,” that non-sequitur would still be irrelevant.

Right now I live in a state with a Democratic governor, a Democratic state senate, and a Democratic majority on the state supreme court. And these three things are preventing major catastrophes here. So no, this has not already happened, and what I have to lose here is quite literally my life.

How do you plan to avoid the problem of abandoning the DNC causing Republicans, who are worse than Democrats, from gaining unmitigated power while said other party is gaining momentum?

I literally know someone who’s not running for a state office because even with the compensation he can’t afford the expenses of actually being in office.

The thing is that people somehow don’t seem to realise there’s a bog monster pulling in the opposite direction. Yes, it’s a problem that they only got pulled 1 cm in the right direction. Yes, it’s well worth criticising that it could have been 10 cm if the person doing the pulling hadn’t tied a hand behind their back. But 1 cm of movement in the right direction is still far better than 2 m of movement in the wrong direction because the bog monster gained the upper hand.

And the people standing on the sidelines saying “let go of their hand and grab mine! I’ll pull you in the right direction with both hands!” are also acting in bad faith, because if they actually had an interest in doing that they’d be grabbing onto the person who’s currently doing the pulling and pulling helping them pull rather than expecting the victim to release and flounder around for their hand.

Put them in a blender together and you’ll get one that lets in only the right folks and one that lets in only the wrong ones.
