@LouisIngenthron

While I normally lean left there are three things Biden has done that I just dont think I can stand for:

1) He has been abusive in his stance on guns
2) He has flamed racial tensions and has an abusive history as a racist
3) He is fiscally irresponsible.

These are a bad time to have those qualities. My only comfort is the right-leaning SCOTUS which, while im not happy with the bigger picture at least they are able to put some checks on it. My hope is they will find a bunch of gun laws unconstitutional...

@LouisIngenthron I dont need predictability. Supporting democracy would be nice, wasnt aware we decided to make that a thing again :)

@LouisIngenthron They are pretty bad choices, no doubt. But like i said id take pretty much anything over Biden or Trump.

@olives Yes i will run for thr office of secretary of fucks... all applications for fucks will be denied.

Pretty sure I would vote for almost any candidate that isnt or at this point...

The FCC is accepting applications for new, low-power, community radio stations the first week of November.

This is huge, you guys, this window rarely opens (the last time was 2013), and as you know, KUZU shows one way LPFM can be a foundation to build valuable community information resources.

The Grassroots Radio folks are holding a conference in West Virginia to help folks out with this.

Please boost and share.

> IMHO the problem becomes when your hatred for someone consumes you so much that you can’t rationally talk about something pertaining to that person.

I agree, and I'd say this applies to most of the people strongly adhering to either side of the spectrum. Most people who are solidly left or right will irrationally and without discussion stick to their guns on botht he people they like and the people they hate. I dont think I've ever met a person who is a self-described conservative who felt Biden "wasnt so bad", nor have i ever found a neo-liberal who felt that way about Trump.

I do understand the cringe aspect of that, and I do agree. But I have to still say the fact that he generally treats people with respect who respectfully express a difference of opinion goes a long way with me, no one is perfect, and your concerns are valid, but when judging someone you have to look at the bigger picture and I think Stux is an alright guy overall despite any short comings.

@realcaseyrollins

I mean, he is certainly on the left side of the political spectrum. Not so far I'd call him alt-left or extremist, but still a very strong lean. That usually means hating the people you have to hate to get into the left-club, no different than if you want to be in the right-club you need to hate certain people. In that regard I suppose I agree, he certainly has some strong biases against a few figures... but hey, no one is perfect, I still think the guy is decent.

I think more of it is just trying to stay popular while balancing his ethics.. He has taken a stance where that left-lean is part of his appeal to his audience, and what drives many people to his servers. So he has to keep a certain list of talking points if he is to not be canceled from that half of the fediverse too. So there are very real pressures on him to hate the people the left says you have to hate.

That said Elon and and Trump have plenty of reasons one might dislike them, especially Trump.

@minogully@mstdn.ca There sure is, its called knot theory. It is a function of the length of the string, the longer it is the higher the probability it will tangle randomly.

@icedquinn @Jain @Stellar @realcaseyrollins

Thats a weird reason to block you, I mean you definately could buy cannons back then (and plenty of record of people doing it) and in fact you can still buy cannons today in the USA.... seems a weird thing for him to get hung up on, and to block on... usually @stux seems a bit more reasonable than that :(

@icedquinn @Jain @Stellar @realcaseyrollins

What did @stux do? I have disagreed with him politically on many things and he has always responded reasonably outside of any disagreement itself.

Now that im back I am slowly getting my workspace cleaned and organized... most of the way done my office, at least thr comouter section. EE lab is next.

@freemo Yeah, if that's the current state of affairs (i don't follow celebrity events and frankly don't care to research them), then i agree.
Rape must be taken seriously, and for that to work false accusations must be taken seriously and not accepted. The sex of the people involved does not matter for this part.
If someone gets away with false accusations while someone else does not, that's clearly both a double standard and it has the effect of supporting rape.

@realcaseyrollins I mean if thry canceled an entire movie just because they refused to work with johnny (who was already prepaid and signed on) im mot sure thats any better, its worse actually.
