Oh… I literally did not notice it, hehe kudos! :-P

So… you DO want to be pedantic then? 😘

Sigh, I just want there to be fewer Nazis.

“Nazi” does not always mean “authoritarian”, e.g. we see how Russia is another form of a totalitarian state without being strictly speaking “Nazis” (though there are some similarities, in conservative thought).

But more to the point, life exists on a spectrum. Those with Nazi proclivities used to feel that they had to “hide” their thoughts, almost like being ashamed of them. Now, they boldly proclaim them in the open - that is, as you say (correctly), not exactly “new”, but in modern times it has not been nearly so accepted by society at large, as much as it is now.

So not “always”, but yeah I agree that it was not “never” either. Still, I hope that this is merely a setback on our way to overall progress - e.g. set aside cops for the moment and look at society, especially younger people: racism isn’t nearly as prevalent as it was among the older generations? Nor sexism either. Not to the same “degree” anyway?

Classism probably always though - yeah that one’s a bitch to try to solve, especially as it ties in with factors making a huge difference such as lack of edumacashun and healthcare and transportation and from now on even access to a literal home to live in (all the more relevant as climate change makes being outside more problematic). e.g. by cutting off access to COVID vaccines, rich people will live longer lives while poorer people won’t, and will also suffer more from long COVID symptoms.

We definitely are not moving in a superb direction right now for sure… except in the long-term measurement in which case it’s still awesome what progress has been made so far.😀 Now the trick: hold onto that as best we can, even if democracy itself dies out around the globe.:-(

I get more the sense that people don’t care about her so much - or him either for that matter - so much as how things in general just “feel wrong”. I’m no expert but the news media having been bought out seems a likely culprit. Jon Stewart tried to warn us but we would not listen. He did his part, but if people don’t value things, they tend to fall - or in this case be taken - apart.

All of them.

I get it but for real was not always this way. We need to wake up and see what’s actually there not recall what used to be.

Henceforth it shall be admiration.

And… wow they are correct! 😂

That’s kneet.:-)

Unless… maybe… he WASN’T???😅

I mean maybe for you…

That Eldritch biology experiment shares many great memes & such though.

Ofc, there’s an xkcd for that:-)

So only 2% “not likely to be AI-generated or deepfake”… that means that it’s almost definitely AI, got it!? :-P

Don’t put “it” there…

One of those upvotes is likely mine:-).

In the membrane, ofc!

Absolutely. Plus the keyboard shortcuts are just outstanding - e.g. shift-M takes you to the middle of the screen - and you can even programmatically do things like make changes to every other line within the range 100-1000 but nowhere else, and even then restrict the changes to only those matching a pattern.

And it is installed on most every machine in the world - even Windows is putting bash onto things these days (I forget if that is still optional, admittedly I haven’t touched Windows in nearly a decade:-P) - and has been since virtually the dawn of computing, certainly long before the modern age. :-D I’ve used ssh on a fucking blackberry and edited files with vim before smartphones existed!

It is, however, notably hard to learn to use, I grant that:-).
