It just implies it.

The records of what she does, and the performative activism, which takes place entirely and exclusively during presidential election years - that’s what shows she isn’t putting in the work.

After repeatedly losing in Mass, the only time she runs for anything is for presidential elections. This also demonstrates she isn’t putting in the work, or she would have more involvement in more local elections.

That is about the most generic statement possible, with nearly zero knowledge of what I’m doing on yours.

So… What problem? Feel free to enlighten me.

Yeah, there have definitely been, we’ll call them “prominent posters” here who fit the bill.

Eh, I’d say mostly.

I have one right now that looks at data and says “Hey, this is weird, here are related things that are different when this weird thing happened. Seems like that may be the cause.”

Which is pretty well within what they are good at, especially if you are doing the training yourself.

Yup totally get it. This is a point far beyond rehabilitation to me, where the only sane solution is to never allow that person to interact with the public again.

I have zero ability to comprehend any of their “reasoning”, and even if they change their behavior, I don’t see how it could possibly be worth the risk to the public to ever let them be free.

Its just… So far beyond anything understandable to do something like this.

Around the time of KIA, the NRA getting money from Russia, the change in T_D from laughing at trump t9 being full maga, the changes to r/conspiracy, etc?

Yeah I think that was the specific influence of a certain former superpower that has spent a few years fighting a few days worth of war, but that’s my bit of conspiracy theory. Its just too coincidental (with too many known incidents) for me not to believe its all related.

Earlier than that actually, by another 10 years, in an event called the Portland Massacre by opponents of changes which dropped the elements of the Dallas Accord. That’d when the takeover occurred, though the takeover began about 10 years before that.

So its effectively been a total shit show for about 30 years by my estimates.

Unfortunately true. And the reason I personally land with prison is that enough innocent people end up there that I can’t support the death penalty. I actually just referenced a convicted murderer just a bit ago, whose conviction was overturned in no small part due to bad police work.

The best prevention, IMO, has nothing to do with the justice system, and a lot note to do with better social services. Counseling before something terrible and irreversible happens, better support for single parents, or even social workers/police/etc doing their job in this case, would have improved things drastically - a little girl would still be alive.

I can’t think of a better option than that.

Can someone like that actually be rehabilitated

I doubt it. Which is why I’m a fan of letting them disappear forever in a prison, and never have the opportunity ever again to harm a child.

or can they serve as an example of what happens to monstrous pieces of shit like that?

Also doubt it.

These sort of people will not recognize their own actions as being wrong, and they also wont “learn” from the punishment of others.

So the only thing public torture would do is provide a spectacle for those who enjoy it. It won’t deter anything. There used to be public hangings, stocks, etc - which also was not stopping the crimes from happening.

Or really any accuracy at all, for sure

Just to add to this, the term “loose” was referring to morals, not, you know, lady bits. Because those bits don’t work like that.

(General you, not the person I’m replying to who is obviously aware)

Yup, debian is where I was before Ubuntu, and where I went back to. Still what I run mostly, plus a few different flavors of it (proxmox for example).

Though I’m also running an arch desktop on one of my play machines, kind of reminds me of having to write my x conf out in the 90s! Not bad overall.

(Never giving up my deb stable servers though!)

Yes, and I don’t consider that an “easy to disable” option for regular users, but that’s just my opinion.

“Easy to disable” is also the wrong approach, IMO. It should have been “easy to enable” - stuff like this should always be opt-in, not opt-out. Opt-out, to me, demonstrates a company’s motivations more than anything else.

Well, spoke to soon. I was banned for being ‘uncivil’ on the .world vegan community for calling out this same behavior, and hoping the community ended up somewhere other than on that particular instance.

Sooo… yeah I’m keeping the block. Maybe expanding to some mods there would be sensible.

Edit: There, all set now.

Ehh… not at first. That was a later release.

I’ll have to unblock, so I can do that later on, sure. Working so not paying much attention to Lemmy at the moment.

Edit: Sorry, my mistake, not a mod. An admin on the instance recommended / linked to in the side bar.

When some of those mods are perfectly fine with lgbtq persecution, and make it out like vegans have it worse, or dont care because they wouldn’t have to see it personally…

I’m just going to go ahead and consider it a toxic shithole. Worst part? Different mod, but they seem to be all over the same vegan communities, so none of them become worthwhile.

I personally don’t care if they ban me since I’ve blocked the communities anyway. Just unfortunate as I really enjoy seeing some of the recipes, as there are a decent number of them that are gluten free (which I need to be).

I’ve definitely trimmed some artists from my personal music library over their politics.

Does Romancing the Foam have a kidnapped lounge chair and treasure hunting?
