I would wager that some American demographics are a lot more selfish than others… I digress, because it doesn’t change two facts:

Media has long manufactured consent (even lying in doing so 🤯, see: Iraq) for various attrocities committed by the united states government, regardless of popular support.

And second, the gutting of social security by bypassing budget approvals (infraction of sep. of powers) and kidnapping of students based on ideology and without due process (just authortarianism) are part of the same issue currently afflicting the US. If for some reason individuals drive a cudgel between these issues, they’re more than either ignorant to or complicit with the issue they whatabout over.

But on that, given your anecdote is taken from a livestream chat, you may be underestimating just how much astroturfing takes place. We’ve known part of the playbook is to completely overwhelm our media intake, desaturating perceived potency of headlines and happenings. I would go as far to take wedging issues like that to be another tactic… as we’ve seen that strategy successfully work to drive flimsy democrats to 180 on LGBT rights.

If you assume the worst of the people you will need to work with, you won’t get to influence them enough to understand the nature of the issue at hand

But hey! We aren’t talking about innocents now being slaughtered by our operations halfway across the world (again)… almost like a recurring theme…

And frankly I cannot disagree with you, its beyond tedious for some things I had for muscle memory on fusion, its really up to your cost to benefit. My largest necessity was to be able to handle assemblies with parametric parts, and do it without subscriptions or royalties/licensing agreements. Blender maybe could work in a pinch, but I need my designs to be constrained.

All that said, the improvement to freecad 1.0 made me blind to a lot of its quirks, because it was such an improvement for me. I tried so long with early freecad and wound back to fusion again and again. That it was finally useable is what called me over… but that is not the best advertisement, is it? Lol

FreeCAD! I dont mean to be a evangelist, but it is finally good enough for myself that I made the leap from Fusion, and I haven’t missed it a moment. Your mileage may vary, but now is better than ever to give it a(nother) try

Having fun with the… reverse sealioning?

If its goal to is to give scientific minds the hyperspecific hyperfixation they’ll end up wanting to study, I think we could make an exception. Until it peddles bullshit I guess

Just dont try to spray up your ass, its pretty hard but you dont wanna.

But now you only use three or four squares of TP to dry off instead of fingerpainting shit all up your asscrack until the point you’ve been conditioned to believe is clean enough.

One problem though, shitting at your workplace or anywhere else will be insufferable. My LPT is to take one of the better hand towels and wet it in a sink before hitting up a stall. Thank me later.

Can take the user off reddit, but the reddit never leaves the user

Why post the same comment?

Well fuck all us I guess. +1 for the loops link, I gotta try that out still

Ah fuck at inauguration? I know of one comment earlier with just enough plausible deniability. But if there’s more, I may just have to watch some of that slogfest 😶

Are they banning temu?

So whos the pedo now Elon?

I won’t ever get over him larping as a child and tweeting as if he’d want himself as a father.
