Just gonna tack on here that everyone’s favorite presidential whipping boy, ol’ Ronnie shithead Reagan, was partially responsible for allowing it to continue spreading. Hell, his press secretary or some equivalent laughed at the one reporter that actually asked about it and implied the reporter was a homosexual. He also abandoned his buddy Roy Cohn because of it too.

May he rot in piss.

I’m fairly left as well, and whenever I brought up strategic voting I was swatted down with “genocide” like the other person. I was event told by multiple “lefty” users that they hoped Trump won just so it would hurt the democratic party and “teach them a lesson”. No matter that we’d be pouring gas on the fire and bringing shit home, they still had to TeAcH tHeM a LeSsOn. Ugh.

The only people who hate leftists more than rightoids are other leftists, and its for shit like that. Moral purity over pragmatism is no different than fanaticism in my eyes. As much as we may hate electoralism, its the only way to work within the system and not let fascists take over. But here we are.

Some of them are outright ridiculous. Like one of the protein cookie brands I like, 80% of the time I have to hulk out and end up ripping the packaging to shreds. We also see it on chip packages and cereal bags at times too. It’s crazy.

Right, but strategic electoral voting is required until we add some sanity to the system of we want to even be able to try to implement sanity.

Something plenty of those on the left refuse to acknowledge while actively shooting the movement in the foot.

Fake news spread includes “both sides are the same”

Definitely all the people who told us both sides were the same, or that Kamala would be just as bad.

They knew what they were doing.

Trump is trying to speedrun the destruction of the US

Sitting out was a choice as so was voting for murderers with blood on their hands.

So instead you get to keep your spotless morals while many, many more people die than would have if you made a realistic choice instead of throwing the voter equivalent of a tantrum

If you always make the good choice you will have no regrets because that is what you are supposed to do.

If you have no regrets with the way this turned out, I question the contents or existence of your morals.

I voted Kamala and have no regrets with my choice, only regrets aimed at the people who claim to be my compatriots condemning millions to suffering while being high and mighty about it.

Inaction is still a choice, so not voting means you’re ok with this. Voting or not voting, you still made your choice in November and here we are.

People saying and persuading others to vote for murderers with blood on their hands are much bigger spineless coward with no morals.

That’s the most bullshit argument to justify your shitty choices and is textbook DARVO. Not voting for the lesser murderer means we get an even bigger one who will actively increase the suffering, and it’s hilarious to me how you’re trying to pretend that voting to prevent more genocide is cowardly. But cowards love to pretend they’re not cowards and blame others when they don’t have the stones to make hard decisions. And lol, using morality to justify letting trump genocide people home and abroad shows you have none.

I want to say I’m amazed at the shit fucking takes to justify awful choices that directly lead to a fascist overthrow in response to your comment. But these types love to justify their choices even though they directly lead to an open fascist takeover of our country because BoTh SiDeS bAd because they couldn’t be bothered to engage in harm reduction and are ok with Gaza getting glassed and a probable trans genocide at home.

Fuck anyone who uses genocide to justify the situation where we now get more genocide, they never actually cared about it in the first place aside from talking points. Either that, or talk is more important than action. Either way, their opinions are meaningless to me as I help my trans homies survive.

Deepseek works reasonably well, even at cpu only in ollama. I ran the 7b and 1.5b models and it wasn’t awful. 7b slowed down as the convo went on, but the 1.5b model felt pretty passable while I was playing with it

That was aborted decades ago

Ooooh wee, it’s going to be a bumpy few years decades as Der Furher sends us into another once in a lifetime financial crisis.

Does the word “risk” mean “guarantee”?

I’m pretty sure that’s the aim of most accelerationists

Did he do that for D4? I thought I heard he could actually play that, but he just absolutely n00bed up the PoE2 play.

Aren’t most of the Golf states land locked?

It’s a good idea, but it will only ever be that with the way the US works. Getting 2/3 of Congress and the states to agree on anything is borderline impossible.

Israel is full of fascists, so no surprise they’re carrying water for a Nazi.

Arguable, meat sack.
