The boss is the voters who keep choosing to vote for narcissistic sociopathic candidates.

I’ve only ever voted Green, I’ve never voted for any omnicidal capitalists.

It’s not “propaganda” making more than 90% of people choose leaders who will continue pushing us towards a mass extinction event, more genocides, oligarchy, etc… It’s that almost all voters are as greedy, short-sighted, and sociopathic as the people they keep voting for.

If he does a Fetterman, can he be quickly recalled?

A problem with uBlock, SponsorBlock, DeArrow, etc., is that it makes viewing sites and videos by greedy assholes bearable, instead of making us boycott the assholes.

I do use uBlock (and SponsorBlock built into a program, along with a site that let’s me avoid YouTube’s site); but I really should be boycotting some sites and video channels.

I don’t need liars like Trump and I don’t need liars like religious people. Narcissistic, sociopathic civilizations need liars.

If you say you’re religious you’re

• incapable of distinguishing reality from fairy-tales,
• a liar,
• or both.

Doesn’t the USA use the word “calories” sometimes for kilocalories in food? So they divide the actual amount of calories by 1000. They also round certain things down, so that when they say “zero calories”, the can can actually have “3600 calories”?

“Do not feed the trolls.” works, unless the majority of people in a country are sociopaths who go out of their way to help trolls gain power.

Or, you know don’t install software from companies owned and operated by psychopaths, like Google and Microsoft.

Maybe it’s time. E.g. waiting for IT to walk over or remote in, or doing something slower because the user is explaining what they’re doing.

I find that waiting for the click to have a result makes some problems not appear, vs. the user double/right clicking something 6 times because they don’t want to wait. Me waiting for the OS to finish loading everything, vs. the user clicking something 6 times while services or even UI elements are still loading.

“for users that just wants to have a system that works without the need to use terminal or being afraid of destroying system files”

Wouldn’t such users want a distro they can trust because people they trust have checked it to be safe? No Wikipedia article yet, no ratings or reviews on distrowatch. Why would a normal user trust a distro who’s 1st preview was announced less than a year ago? Shouldn’t the distro be targeting tinkers and super users, so they can give a thumbs up or down for the normal users?

I trust Debian even tho I don’t have that much confidence in people who think GNOME is a good default UI. I dislike Ubuntu for many reasons, but lots of people vastly smarter than me have looked at their code for more than 20 years now.

downvote the 3rd post about the same

Isn’t the problem with this that there are different communities which might have valid reasons to post very similar things, and the order they’re displayed to you may result in you downvoting the original?

It wants to run cross-site scripts on more than 20 other domains.

Adding some sources, in case people think these quotes are satirical.

Edits: some longer quotes (which takes away from the punchy format by Linken) and non-chronological groupings.

• 2026-02-28 “When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take”

• 2026-04-01 “We never said regime change, but regime change has occurred because of all of their original leaders’ death — they’re all dead […] The new group is less radical and much more reasonable.”

• 2026-04-01 “We are in this military operation so powerful, so brilliant, against one of the most powerful countries, for 32 days,”

• 2026-04-01 “We’re going to hit them extremely hard over the next two to three weeks. We’re going to bring them back to the stone ages, where they belong.”

• 2026-04-04 “48 hours before all Hell will reign [sic] down on them.”

• 2026-04-05 “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.”

• 2026-04-06 “Every bridge in Iran […] every power plant […] I mean complete demolition by 12 o’clock”

• 2026-04-07 “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”

Firefox +uBlock Origin works on old Androids. I’m not sure about new versions, iOS, or other phone OSes tho.

I don’t think I could go back to using browsers with ads, or videos with sponsors.

"Some countries have adopted a six-day workweek and one-day weekend (6×1), which can be

• Friday only (in Djibouti, Iran, Somaliland and Libya),
• Saturday only (in Nepal), or
• Sunday only (in Mexico, Colombia, Uganda, Eritrea, India, Philippines, and Equatorial Guinea)."

Be sure to vote for the lesser evil, because always voting for evil is a really good idea.

preemptive war

OK - reacting-only would reduce wars of aggression.

How about if 98% of UN members votes for an allied attack against something that almost everyone agrees is psychotic, like ISIS, NK, Eritrea, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia, etc.? Does the combination of actions and clear intent not make pre-emptive war and regime change of these seem like the right thing?

Ahmed Yassin

Here I don’t agree - I think the 1988 Hamas charter is utterly indefensible.

these type of groups form as a direct result of imperial violence.

Yes, and Israel was formed in response to the Holocaust and pogroms. Hamas is also genocidal, just incompetent - but would be worse. I think both should be boycotted and sanctioned, until Israeli voters stop voting the way they have been (which might not happen until they reject religion and racism), and Gazans overthrow Hamas (which seems more possible than in e.g. NK).

nuclear weapons

not offensive, but defensive

Yeah, allowing Iran to get/create nukes and intercontinental delivery, would reduce the chances of attacks against it like the recent ones by USA and Israel, which would be good for the normal people of Iran in the short and medium term.

When it comes to the people (not the regimes) I think that the Israeli, older Gazan, and USA citizens are the worst because of the way they vote(d); while the Iranians might be the least bad (tho that may just be because they haven’t had real elections for so long).
