Debating with you isn't worth my time based on your post history. Here is a WP article about the differences between Obama and Trump relating to your post and mine.

‘Kids in cages’ It’s true that Obama built the cages at the border. But Trump’s ‘zero tolerance’ immigration policy had no precedent.

There were more deportations from the Obama administration than both the Trump and Bush Admins. Clinton deported more people than any president before him back to Grover Cleveland. Obama had over a million more people deported in the 8 years he was in office than Bush had in his 8 Years. The bs right wing talking points are easily proven false and there is plenty of evidence to prove them false but once the idiots hear something they latch on to it and believe it no matter what. The only difference between right wing immigration policies and left wing immigration policies is the left wing tries to treat immigrants like human beings and is easier on those seeking asylum.

Funny I just reread your comment and saw you mentioned something about treating people like humans I agree and that's my point also.

I doubt there would be any companies that own the refineries that would stay in TX at the risk of losing all the business they do in the rest of the US. TX would be a dystopian nightmare to live in if they did leave the US. No national company is going to stay, all the military bases and defense industry would be gone, no products will be delivered from other states for as long as it would take to figure out passports and immigration back into the US, the airports would no longer have FAA oversight, and a million of other small things that get taken for granted in everyday life would be gone. Companies that are US based have a responsibility to work in their shareholders interest and I can't see any rational shareholders wanting to leave the entire US market for the shithole TX market.

Edit: I replied to the wrong comment but it kind of fits so I'll leave it.

A kid just did it tonight at level 155 - Fractual161 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lN18RxSgDZ4&t=3363s I think that time stamp is right around when he did it, if not look around the middle of the video.

I retired in 2019 and spent months tracing accounts and reporting fake accounts to facebook and never had one account removed from my reports. I found the Dorr brothers alt accounts and exposed their astroturfing various gun groups and anti-quarantine groups that acted like local grassroots groups for a large number of locations. A Washington Post article (and several other news orgs picked up the story) was published after I contacted a reporter about what I found and handed over the evidence I found. Facebook didn't remove one single group or account linked to the Dorr Brothers.

The point I'm getting to is I just had a post of mine removed two days ago for "Cybersecurity" reasons. The post was made in August and was nothing more than me explaining Project 2025 and contained quotes from the Project 2025 manifesto. No links and in no way could be a threat to anyone's security. Facebook is anti-democracy and a threat.

Here's the AFL-CIO's take on right to work AFL-CIO

I used to be a union member in a right to work state and we had no union contract or protections until a democrat majority was voted in to the state government and passed a law allowing public safety unions to collectively bargain a contract with our employer.

Right to work states are anti union.

I was just thinking earlier that there are two groups in congress that are advancing Russia's agenda. The ones actively working and following Russia's plan and the fucking idiots who have no idea what they are doing. I also think Greene falls in the fucking idiot category.

Yeah I do the same thing. Took the free cs50 classes from Harvard online because I was bored one night and wanted to learn Python for some reason.

Meal planner and shopping lists are a gateway drug. Next thing you know you're 30 topics deep with embedded webpages and items in a database, planning world domination one step at a time.

In all seriousness, I started using notion because I have ADHD and needed something to keep me on track then I really over did it and have lists and planning set up for most of my daily life and I share it all with my GF who uses it for all of her notes.

The problem is the GOP voters are idiots. Low - No information voters whose entire political education is based on cherry picked and planned sound bites. Most don't know they are voting for the end of the US or fascism but they sure as hell know they are voting to "insert fear mongering sound bite". They eat this stuff up since it hurts someone else. No other political party in the US capitalizes on keeping idiots entertained.

Obsidian and Notion are decent.

 

Videos circulating on social media showed a plane crashing and two crew members inside ejecting while opening their parachutes.

 

This is one of the most genius works of art I think I have ever seen. I've watched it several times and have noticed something different every time.

Ren has a ton of really great works that will blow your mind. I suggest this one first then The Hunger after The hunger you could listen to Money Game pt1 and pt2 or go down the rabbit hole of his Busking videos. Only thing is to make sure to listen to Jenny, Screech, and Violet In that order as they build on each other.

 

I was about 12 years old maybe 13 at the time and I forget a lot of the people that visited but I had a great time running it and learning how to set things up. I ran a few different brands of software but the last I remember is teleguard. I made some good friends via the bbs and was an early user of Fidonet.

Two of my friends and I spent many hours in my parents basement setting things up and calling other BBS's around the world. I was lucky that my parents let me get a dedicated phoneline just for the BBS and to use to call into other BBS's but that quickly became an issue when I had a $300 phone bill! We weren't well off and it was a big hit to my parents and me since I was paying for the phoneline with money I made from odd jobs around the neighborhood. It got my computer privileges revoked for several months and a good old ass whooping if I remember correctly.

The area I was in had a loose network of BBS's that would forward mail and sync. The sysops of those BBS's were all older than I was but treated me well and included my ideas and my friends ideas in planning and setting things up.

A few years went by and I was getting interested in some government BBS's like NASA who had an interface for data from the voyager prob and some ARPANET sites that I stumbled upon while poking around a local college campus computer lab. I ended up getting caught on (I can't remember if it was a BBS or on ARPANET) The navel nuclear safety laboratory computer system. I didn't get in trouble with the navy for that but they wanted to know how I got in and had me walk them through everything I did but I did get IN BIG trouble from my parents who took away the computer and made me take down the BBS.

I think I was about 16 or 17 when they took away the computer and the older guys that ran the other local BBS's were just starting to build what would be the first local ISP. They had asked me to help with it in return for being a part of the company. I had to turn them down and in the end after being very successful those guys sold the ISP to a national company for millions of dollars. Funny how life works out sometimes. I can't complain I ended up joining the local fire department and went to make a career out of that.

 
 

It took me a while to figure this out today and hopefully will help someone along the way.

I saw a post about Lemmy Explorer, a website that lets you find new to you magazines across the federated servers. Great! I thought just what I need to find topics that interest me. So I found some magazines I wanted to subscribe to on kbin and first clicked magazines to search for them but none showed up. "Huh" Next I tried the convenient copy function on Lemmy Explorer and pasted the copied text both under magazines in the search bar and into the search on the front page of kbin. Neither worked for me.

The fix is pretty simple. When you copy from Lemmy Explorer the text copies like this example "!linux" all you need to do is remove the "!" at the start making it "[email protected]" or "[email protected]". Paste the text with the "!" removed into the search bar on the front page of kbin and you will see the magazine pop up. From there you can subscribe to that magazine.

This is without a doubt well known to legacy users of kbin but as a new user I was struggling to figure it out.
