boffum

American navy during this era:

the key to victory is defining victory as any navy battle you sail away from. emphasize speed over all other attributes. if you engage in battle, it had better be a hit and run tactic

🤷 it’s kind of just a function of thah activity pub is loosy goosy about how and what to do with it. end of the day it’s the threadiverse that’s weird and we need to just kind of accept these lumps until lemmy/piefed/mbin devs and mastodon/misskey/whatever devs all get on an issue and decide how best to do this

they’re not on the threadiverse, they’re on mastodon where the threading works differently. their software is doing that automatically

hypertext transfer protocol and hypertext transfer protocol secure. it’s the basic network protocol of the modern internet. hypertext can be thought of as being html (hypertext markup language) though other hypertext specifications do exist. hypertext just means documents with links to other documents.

you know how when you copy a url (universal resource location) from your web browser it always has http or https at the start of it? that’s because your web browser is connecting to an external server somewhere via the hypertext transfer protocol.

cURL can connext to nearly any server via nearly any standard protocol. it’s commonly used for validating connection information and downloading files

for sure. i just wanted to hit a number that someone couldn’t at all be doubted for “i could retire at 18”

once you hit $100M, you have enough to never work again. you could spend the rest of your living days spending time in a community making sure everyone there is fed, housed, and safe.

even just maintaining your personal status quo of working the way you did to get into 9 figures is inherently supportive of the global system of torture all of us are forced to live in. while i agree gabe newell, jay-z, and taylor swift shouldn’t be the main focus of our ire, i find the degree of worship they receive confusing.

binary unnuanced thinking is a tool of the right. and this isn’t me trying to be a “informed centrist, both sides are evil, let’s maintain the status quo” motherfucker. it’s simply a fact that for the last 20k years these cycles of rising violence have happened over and over again and the thing that always happens is the demagogues flatten all conversation into us vs them binaries.

part of how this system works is it strips people of their humanity by first not studying what it means to be human in school, and then by telling one class of people that another class of people isn’t. it’s a matter of susceptiblity to propaganda. nazis, idf soldiers, ruzzian militants, genocidal leaders in sudan, they all have the same core belief that they are the ones who are righteous and good for carrying out their acts, and the people they carry them out against could have avoided it by not being here.

by the nature of how america was founded then expanded every single white person living here today is here because of someone in their family tree or someone they knew personally who thought this way. all of us are much closer to becoming ICE agents through the leverage of the propaganda machines, misinformation, and poor education than most liberals are willing to confront themselves with. the most horrifying thing about the banality of evil is that all of us carry a capacity for it. if you really want to avoid it you have to audit it daily within yourself and work to keep the people in your life from falling for it.

once people are lost, they’re lost. they become part of a great organism of hate that is driven by its leadership. that leadership must be removed and the people in the cult deprogrammed. some within the cult are lost forever and cannot be allowed to spread their hate to future generations. but if studying recent history has taught me anything it’s that only 20% of this country actually gets what’s goind on around here. 30% of this country are true, pure, hateful people who cannot be redeemed. and then the remaining 50% see both of those groups as the same and will go along with anything as long as there is a law that allows it and the proper paperwork has been filed.

ICE’s rank and file for decades have come mostly from the 30% of pure vile evil, but now they’re also pulling in people from the 50% and so far this republican regime has had all the paperwork they need to convince far too much of this country that all of this is fine and normal. you have to focus on breaking that myth more than you do on the individuals carrying out the atrocities because, to reiterate, they don’t understand they’re atrocities. they’ve been convinced that this is how the world works and better things simply aren’t possible.

if you want to help, get organized and get active. get a noisemaker and if ice shows up in your community make a racket to disrupt their operations while your neighbors hide from them until the accute danger passes. and remember, this is a marathon, not a sprint

i upvoted as part of an overall discussion about what to do. don’t be looking left and right look up and down. i hate every one of these bootlicking nazis. but i also won’t waste my energy on them when i know how you get people to turn class traitor is by keeping them desperately poor and uninformed of history.

i also fundamentally think that when we’re on the other side of this they all need to be punished for their crimes against humanity in the name of $50k

afghanistan has been the maker and breaker of empire throughout all of history.

you’re both correct. we need the numbers to go after the top because class traitors trade their morals for $50k. they are complicit in genocide because they are so desperately hungry that they think this is the only way to survive to tomorrow. but by doing that they make survival harder for everyone

and then you got all these “do your own research” MFs saying the stupidest shit ever who clearly think “research” is looking at facebook memes from russian bot farms

i envy you. i’ve met people who don’t thrnk birds are animals, including one veterinarian.

scientific names don’t deserve respect. they were all created by what is effectively a scandenavian Roman weeb

the is how it always goes. the most dangerous people in any cult are the final bagholders. the people who believed the lies all the way through the final demise of the cult

maybe give blorb a try

can’t possibly imagine what he’s talking about. all those dems gave up was everything in return for nothing at all
