"Indeed, one of the strangest things about the Epstein case is that it's the rare instance in which right-wing conspiratorialists care about actual people, rather than imaginary ones."
@pluralistic Care about actual people? Not really. I hear a lot of talk about the list and who's on it, not much about the victims and making life better for them. That's true for both MAGA and anti-Trump voices.
One thing that struck me many years ago about "conservatives" is that they don't ever want the government to do anything that doesn't somehow involve hurting people. Possibly people who deserved to be hurt, but the hurting was the important bit.
@cptbutton Yea - there is (or at least was about 20 years ago), a lot of talk about "conservative morality". Jonathan Haidt et al.
There is no Conservative morality. It is just a set of rationalisations for cruelty - more often than not against their own people.
I was constantly bleating on about "You guys are demanding that the same punishments handed down by the IMF in South America in the 80s be imposed on yourself as though it's some sort of moral imperative". Well. Here we are.
@cptbutton Conservatives are fundamentally broken people.
From the very foundation of the ideology. Preserve the shitfuckery and dont move forward, to as you say, hurt people.
My observation about conservatives. As insightful as yours that I would like to share, is that, Conservatives do not look at the whole picture.
They never try to encompas the entirity of an issue, but focus on a specific, isolated aspect of it. This gives them the ability to retrofit whatever fucked up reasoning they desire onto it, to justify it.
If we survive this stage in our development. We will develop vaccines for conservativism. Identify the afflicted children at pre-school level. And cure them.
a lot of the everyday people are far more worried about the enigmatic and generic "children" affected by pedophilia instead of the actual, very real and specific people affected by it. Because by now, they are adults and it's harder to care about them.
agree. It's similar to the anti-choice stance. Nebulous voiceless children and foetuses are easy to pretend caring about. They ask nothing of you. You feel you're automatically correct.
Yet, instead of protecting any real children from real child abusers - in the home, in churches, in schools and sport - they make stuff up. Pizzagate. And then they ignore the fact that their main guy was pals with a known, actual child abuse facilitator.

I don't know about the western whore but Rushia will never need to make money in her life again
it's bad enough being a JP vtuber paypiggy but imagine being an EN one, Rushia turning out a mentally ill whore was a shock while that's basically all EN vtubers. Imagine giving all your money to a whore who talks shit and hates all you chud incels in her secret trooncord servers like Pippa.
just spun some keys to check it out. lots of btc charts and such. not sure there's actually real people there. then again i may feel the same about fediverse

Are we as a human civilisation ever going to sit down and collectively address the fact that we lived through a quasi-pandemic and our govts virtually cosplayed their way through it as if it was the actual end of times?
It's almost as if we aren't a truth seeking species anymore, merely a comfort seeking one.
What is missing post Covid is trust. The fallout is representative govt as a system is dead in the water. The West moves to cryptographically secured direct participatory democracies or we go into a modern dark age filled with civil wars across the globe.
Why does the android version of Firefox suck as much as it does? Has there been any attempts to keep the previous Fennec engine (pre 79.0) going? Firefox daylight (Fenix/GeckoView) is a laggy, glitchy mess. #firefox #android
The Boeing 767, carrying 9 crew members and 226 passengers, was on its way to Atlanta. Pilots had to turn around due to a problem with the left engine.
Could be anything, really. The engines aren't manufactured or maintained by Boeing. Delta Air Lines has their own maintenance department. But things break and fail sometimes. Engine failure is essentially a non-event.
Η εκπαιδευτικός και θεατροπαιδαγωγός, Έφη Λάζου, πρόεδρος του Συλλόγου Εκπαιδευτικών Πρωτοβάθμιας Εκπαίδευσης Ζακύνθου, έχει κληθεί σε Ένορκη Διοικητική Εξέταση (ΕΔΕ) από τη Διεύθυνση Πρωτοβάθμιας Εκπαίδευσης Ζακύνθου, στις 23 Ιουλίου 2025, με αφορμή τη θεατρική παράσταση «Η Άννα Φρανκ συνομιλεί με τα παιδιά της Παλαιστίνης». Αξιοσημείωτο είναι ότι στην κλήση της για απολογία, δεν αναφέρεται πουθενά συγκεκριμένα το πειθαρχικό παράπτωμα για το οποίο κατηγορείται.
Lyrics still relevant today... "Driven To Tears" - Sting (1986 'Bring On The Night')
Verse 1 How can you say that you're not responsible? What does it have to do with me? What is my reaction, what should it be? Confronted by this latest atrocity
Chorus Driven to tears
Verse 2 Hide my face in my hands, shame wells in my throat My comfortable existence is reduced to a shallow meaningless party Seems that when some innocents die All we can offer them is a page in some magazine Too many cameras and not enough food 'Cause this is what we've seen
Chorus Driven to tears
Bridge Protest is futile, nothing seems to get through What's to become of our world, who knows what to do
Try telling that to almost every western country right now. Almost without exception they all believe that if that just intervene a little bit harder everything will turn around.
The west is utterly consumed by so much mind rot right now. I'm convinced that there is a huge mental hangover from COVID that no one can see.
@verita84 Are any of your proxmox servers 6th gen intel 4 core cpu? I have one with i5 6500 and the best cpu upgrade it supports is i7 7700 4c/8t. Nice boost to increase cores and average price on ebay is $50. Otherwise this pc is a bummer only having 4 cores.
Not with official Windows 11 builds it don't. There are hacks out there, but most people aren't going to do that. So there should be a lot of businesses dumping old gear. I'd look for Dell Optiplexes and HP Pro/Elite Desks come October.

@Humpleupagus @lord_nougat They've already been dumping 8th gen recently since out of support. 10th gen still have a price premium but if you think you know how to hack password locked bios you can get good deals.
I have a couple towers and micros around the house running plasma. We use them for mpd clients, watching movies, emulation, etc. I do have one tower I use as the main file server. It has 32tb in it. I have another duplicate tower that's the backup.
My kids actually use i3wm in their rooms, but plasma is easier to use when using kdeconnect to control from across the room as compared to having a keyboard in my lap.
I got a raspberry pi or three on similar duties. But my collection of obsolete yet functional junk continues to grow. I am pretty sure most of these things are pretty much space heaters, though. And raising the electric bill further is a little bit unappealing to consider. Still though...
Oh no, that's stupid. Yeah if I ever put in solar, I'm gonna have a roofer put in the rails, then maybe mount the panels myself, and just have the electrician show up and connect the wires at the junction box.
Oh fuck lol, I would put ANYONE in the trades on a roof before I'd put an electrician. My father used to be an electrician, I know electricians real well. Even asking an electrician to do electrical work is asking a lot, but if you want them to do NON-electrical work, shit's not gonna end well for you.
When I was a kid, we used to show up on jobs and you'd have like a water pump and the wire was already pulled right up to the pump, 3 wires here, 3 wires there, connect them together and turn on the breaker.
That's when the general contractor knows what he's doing. You only ask the bare minimum from the guy who gets paid 3x as much and only wants to work on when it's not too hot, not too cold, not raining, etc...
The problem is that it doesn't work in reverse. Roofers can't install solar to the extent electrical work is required.
Honestly, state policy is fucked six ways to Sunday when it comes to solar. Yard sprinkers are more tightly regulated.
Plus, I'll tell you, contracts are cheap. Real deals get done on trust and relationships, even if there's a contract in the middle. Dealing in business with someone you don't know and who doesn't have a reputation to maintain in the community is a huge risk.
> Roofers can't install solar to the extent electrical work is required.
Yeah so what you do is you have roofers install everything up to getting the wire into the attic (or outdoor junction box), then you have a *trusted* electrician come in, snake the wire to the main panel, and sign off on all of the work as his own. It's the only way it can work.
ICE deports 82 yo man with no criminal arrests who went to a Philadelphia immigration office with his wife to replace his lost green card. Instead, Leon, who immigrated to the U.S. from Chile in 1987, was handcuffed by two officers and hauled away with no explanation. He is in hospital in Guatemala 😢
So AOC *admits* that Israel is committing genocide - but still believes that it has a right to defend itself?
What the fuck is wrong with this woman?
(Also worth noting that this is not about MTG - she also voted against Rashida Tlaib's anti-Israel amendments back in March, so this has nothing to do with MTG and everything to do with AOC's moral decrepitude.)
Mind you, leftists have been warning y'all about AOC for years. This woman is a spineless hack. She has always been a spineless hack.
Unfortunately, whitewashing Biden's complicity in genocide was utilitarian enough that even a lot of progressives were willing to dismiss it and make excuses for her, so our criticism of her largely fell on deaf ears.
This is a bit of a pattern I've noticed, actually. It happened with Contrapoints, too. Like, nonbinary people (and many trans folk) were saying that Contrapoints was a piece of shit *five years ago*. But we're a niche within a niche, and our voices are easy to ignore, so Contrapoints got to coast along as a progressive icon, if with the occasional acknowledgement that she's made a few minor missteps. (Leftists also pointed out that her palling around with Hillary Clinton was *not* a good look.)
Then Contrapoints finally did something so bad that even the people who didn't give a shit about her enbyphobia couldn't ignore it. The result? A torrent of people going, "what happened?! She used to be so progressive!" - when in reality, she was *always* a bigot, it was just easy to ignore for most people up until recently. It's *still* easy to ignore for many.
We need to stop treating "niche" issues as minor blemishes that don't reflect on a person's overall character, and start treating them as warning signs that, if not addressed, will precipitate even more blatant betrayals in the future. In other words, we're going to need more purity tests.

Elite sex predators get away with all kinds of crimes -- not just Epstein, but the whole universe of powerful men, from Harvey Weinstein to Donald Trump, who systematically abused women for decades and got away with it -- bragged about it, even!
"But despite these very real abusers, the conspiracists in the Trump base are mostly concerned with _imaginary_ abusers -- Qanon's shadowy cabal of adrenochrome-guzzling pedophiles, tirelessly freighting trafficked children from one nonexistent pizza parlor basement to the next, packed inside of very mid Wayfair home furnishings.… "
