Yes the point was that the problem is the system design not the voters not being logical enough go watch star trek and follow Spock’s character development. 😂

And the problem with using a shared cultural reference is? 😂

Fucker we use water pipes to explain current and other concepts in high energy physics.

You need to get over yourself.

And your problem remains the same. Your friend experiences the world differently than you. You gf might very well have had a symmetrical face in her mind.

And as for sound healing: define healing. ;) many people find emotional release through music. Which is an example of healing.

You basically just sound like an anal retentive ass afk who hasnt even started to comprehend the world and people around them.

they couldn’t reason their way out of a wet paper bag.

neither can you apparently. you’re confusing reasoning with jargon. they just speak a different dialect.

‘focus energy in your feet’ is tell you to ground yourself, loosen your knees and tighten the core. chi describes focusing your mental attention on something. any person who has snowboarded/skateboarded would understand exactly what that person is saying if they bothered to listen and put the terms into context.

do you consider ‘sound healing’ bogus? what if I told you your cells have receptors that can detect sound vibrations (your ears work right? but its more than that individual cells can too.)? which cause neural impulses which can impact large areas of the brain and body directly and indirectly.

your problem is you dont stop to listen and understand what these people are saying and you just dismiss it because they settled on using a different way of speaking and describing concepts that are nontraditional in western societies.

Incorrect, fptp voting systems suck.

You mean like running a campaign based on genocide, war hawking, and enabling corporate abuses as a democratic candidate? Yeah i was pretty baffled by that too.

Fun fact: a lot of the crystal healers i interact with are solid people.

Nutty sure but most of them are all about emotional wellness and support and very few are okay with trump or republicans.

It always amuses me when the people who think they’re rational and shit on the mystic groups miss out on wonderful friends and allies.

Kind of like the 2019 campaign when everone shit on Marianne Williamson.

oi, hitting the critical mass of enough users to be interesting, but thankfully not at enough users where it is profitable for them yet. sigh

we’re probably talking about different things. virtually no distribution comes with root access with a password. you have to explicitly give the root user a password. without a password no amount of brute force sshing root will work. I’m not saying the root user is entirely disabled. so either the service OP is building on is basically a goldmine for compromised machines or OP literally shot themselves in the root by giving root a password manually. something you should never do.

Most distributions disable root by default

thats kind of how it starts, individuals have different thresholds for migrating. its fine for it to take time. =)

ah sorry 8 days ago. ;) my point about self-pity was in reference to your original assertion about there not being realistic paths forward. didnt mean to imply anyone here was. point was that just because you dont consider a path realistic doesn’t mean it isnt.

uh huh and what side of the fence is that? and what side am I on apparently? and who precisely is wallowing in self pity?

it’s a matter of ‘violence costs lives’ and you don’t change a system to one that you prefer and most other people don’t without organised and persistent violence

uh huh, and who are most people in this situation? because most people seem very fine with mr thompsons death. otherwise the media moguls wouldn’t be spending their breath trying to tell people it wasnt okay.

Zuckerberg, trump’s new butt boy, announces meta will stop fact checking.

you’re preaching to the choir (minus calling social progressives radical, they’re fairly benign wanting whats best for others hardly radical.)

my point was the democratic party does not represent left wing politics and the person i was responding to was bitching about the democrats and blaming left wing politics.

just because the left isn’t represented in the US political parties doesnt mean we dont exist. =)

since when are the democrats considered left… do you mean liberals?

yeah but what about rm -rf ../../../.../var/lib/../../?

na you’re just making assumptions instead of reading what is actually said. I have not made a statement about what paths I personally support, only that unless you take action personally non-sense about the practicality of a particular idea is self defeating. there are always challenges and struggles the point is to surmount them not wallow in self pity. again pointing to a personal issue with the person claiming impracticality. not with the person proposing and ideally taking action on a path.

No, I just have no interest in dicussing a topic like this with a random on the internet where it won’t matter. very different. enjoy your day time being ineffectual.
