I hope you don't mind I'm going to post this in a few places.

Do with that info what you will. It's very helpful sometimes when folks claim mod abuse.

• Freshman high school "persuasive paper" assignment.

Not sure which, but it's at least one of those.

Of course, these interpretations can be very funny. Yet they risk trivialising the dynamics of an intimate partnership under intense public scrutiny. They also obscure the reality that Melania has consistently defended and supported her husband’s policies and public stances; evidence that she does indeed have agency in their relationship.

Ah yes, because what someone says publicly can never be coerced or lack authenticity.

Some interpret reports of her ironclad prenuptial agreements and carefully staged public appearances as acts of agency. These people argue that Melania is showcasing her ability to navigate a high-stakes marriage for personal benefit. But by focusing solely on curated moments of perceived discomfort, the internet perpetuates a selective narrative that erases Melania's active participation in Trump’s political life.

No really, she loves and supports him. Trust me bro.

He’s scared of black people, that’s the joke. magats are scared of anyone with more melanin than milli vanilli

I wanted to try to say something like your second paragraph, but couldn't quite put it together. 100% agree.

Yeah but - for any forces out there trying to build some trust in the community - this seems like how you do it, to me. I mean sincerely, nice job Dallas cops. They even warned people - look we're still going to have to arrest you if we know you have a warrant - so those folks know not to assume it's some kind of total amnesty event.

As someone in my 50s let me just tell you this - if you are over 40 and live in the US, you ain't seeing normalcy in our government again in your lifetime. Mark my words. And if you are under 40, you might, but it's gonna be a rough ride for awhile.

So if Democrats need to use this upcoming lengthy period of upheaval to come out of the other side with a party actually interested in resisting the fascists and the oligarchs, that can be the sliver lining to the decades of struggle that have now begun.

Current leadership will never let that happen. They will ride the wreckage of our nation into the ground rather than let the party move left or allow substantial power in the hands of non-boomers. We just have to wait for them to die of old age.

Pelosi Won. The Democratic Party Lost.

(Pelosi is silent generation ffs! She should have had her hands removed from the levers of power decades ago.)

Also:

Yeah, it's not bad planning.

They continue actively keeping the progressives and the younger leaders out of power.

(This is about AOC, not Bernie, but we all know they did him dirty at least twice already.)

only to find out IRL he’s into lame shit like black capitalism.

Does it mean something other than what is here, or did I miss something offensive in skimming through the entry?

This isn't one of those lame "now they are the machine" posts is it?

My biggest frustration is not that Trump won, it's that as best i can tell these things are not even penetrating into the infosphere of maga. They are not only gleefully celebrating what they think he's doing, they are also seemingly completely ignorant of what they surely must not realize he's doing.

Because it follows the same path he did with the last tax breaks: More money for the rich, less for the rest.

Not a single maga ever believed me when I told them that, and they won't believe it now either.

Their heads are so far up Trump's ass they know what he has for dinner.

And yes, it is samba, but it’s the only thing I’ve used since it was set like that at default. Why would I look into other ways if it’s working just fine, exactly?

Nothing other than your own personal preference. Across a wide variety of contexts I personally find less headaches with SFTP, but YMMV. There are security and speed arguments, but IIRC there is a lot of variance to those arguments depending on how modern the SMB implementation is and how it's config'd.

I have no idea why you can't save your PW, I've done it this way since at least 2013, under several distros, on several different hardware setups, and have never had an issue having dolphin save my PW.

Are you in the "I disabled the KDE wallet because I wasn't sure how to make it not annoying" crowd? It used to be much harder to work with. (I don't even know if that's the likely reason you have to keep putting your PW in, but I do use KDE wallet, and I never have to put mine in after initial setup in dolphin.)

Linux - Open Dolphin (or whatever) > Network > Add Network Folder/Find it > Enter creds > Does not automatically mount the drive when booting the computer back up > Must go into fstab to get it to automount > Stop, because that is ridiculous

I put into the dolphin path sftp://myusername@remoteip.address. Then I give it my password, and check the box to save it. Then I right click any folder in the destination and do "add to places" and in the future I just navigate to it like a local folder.

I guess I'm supposed to do it a harder way? I've done essentially the same but with smb:// when forced to work with a samba share like an animal.

This is it for the curious:

This is just related:

First "Violent" undocumented immigrants.

Then "Non-Violent" undocumented immigrants.

Then trans people?

Then documented but deemed undesirable immigrants?

Maybe citizens who have done the worst possible crimes?

Citizens who disagree too loudly with Trump or Musk?

When do you suppose they'll build the next camp?

When do you suppose they'll get to "the gays" or "the blacks?"

When will they get to your neighbor? Or to you?

When will it finally be enough for those who voted to put him in power? Ever?

Remember folks, it doesn't have to be the year, it only has to be your year.

Mine was about 19 years ago. I'm no genius, and I haven't regretted it once. Linux has come a long way since then, while windows is deep in the enshittification trenches now, and has been for years. Your YOTLD can start today if you want it to. Tired of being actively abused by your OS? We've been here all along.

And if you are happy where you are, that's fine too.
