logically sound argument

Not even a little. Trump is wrong about what the problems are, and proposes "solutions" to the non-problems that we know will make them worse.

Plus, he's old and weird, and he running mate might be young-ish, but double-weird instead.

Given that some films are getting post-release edits before they appear on streaming or physical media, it might be a good idea just from an archival perspective.

I'm not a good judge of piracy methods for consumption, as I am currently willing to pay their prices or do without.

Depends on the pay differential and other options. I think it's less useful for positions in my career, but it's not an absolute no.

I finally deactivated my account after I heard they were turning on Grok by default.

But, I hadn't tweeted (switched to Mastodon) since Elmu mass-banned journalists for retweeting public information (jet location when near an airport).

I know some non-fascists are still getting good use out of it, but I can't participate anymore. I keep hearing that Mastodon is letting too much abuse through to marginalized people -- even more than Twitter -- though. So, I don't know what to recommend for microblogging.

I thought it was founded on Mastodon. At least that's where I heard about it, 5 days or so before the fundraising call on Monday.

I'm clutching this jar of chunky JIF like a life preserver. Protein ends depression, didn't you know.

Upvote if you enjoy Taylor Tomlinson, too.

I asked Google AI and it recommended spackle instead of either. It sticks to the ribs.

I've heard it both ways. And I don't vote for labels; at least, I try to vote for policies. I'm all for redistribution from billionaires, and the very idea of "redistribution" gets me called a socialist in a lot of fora.

Depends on who you ask, but I think most far left would say they are going for communism of some stripe.

I want heavy taxes on the wealthy, UBI, universal housing and healthcare, and much more regulation. I want higher union membership and more co-op business of all stripes. I don't want a central, planned economy. (I have many other not directly economic concerns.)

I'm not often accused of being far left, these days, but I have been called a communist in the past. I consider myself a democratic socialist.

They won't do it, but it would be baller to set it up like a debate, and have the moderator prompt the empty Trump lecturn and have the camera hold on it for 5-10 seconds each time. It would effectively just be a Kamala campaign interview, but with a bit of shade casting between each question.

Might check out the Haskell layout rules.

Basically, when you leave out the '{' then Haskell uses your intendation to insert ';}' on later lines between the leading whitespace and the first token.

There some really old Haskell code out there that lines up the '{;}' characters on the left under block-introduction keywords.

I volunteered. So, no longer involuntary.
