Nice, it sounds like you’re learning stuff just fine. I recommended it elsewhere in the comments here but if you’re looking for audiobook sources I suggest checking out libro.fm. They give half of your purchase price to a local bookstore of your choice and you can download the files in multiple formats with no DRM.

Libro.fm seems to be a solid paid service. They give half of your purchase price to a local bookstore of your choice and you can download the files in multiple formats with no DRM.

Can we be fascists in our treatment of fascists? I mean, the gulags already exist. It would be wasteful not to use them for something

Old people who don’t go to parks because there are children and brown people there like to see grass and trees too.

Set up audiobookshelf via docker. I like using portainer to manage docker containers because it has a GUI. Command line stuff is more difficult if you don’t have the background experience to go with it. I think doing it all in a GUI feels more comfortable for most people.

Docker can also be kind of intimidating if you are just wading into the self hosting world but it really is much simpler to use once you get the hang of it. Portainer helps a ton with that. Audiobookshelf would be great to start with both imo because it’s a pretty basic set up. You have to define a storage location for your library and config files and that’s about all it takes to get it up and running.

I recently got into all this and remember well what it was like to feel out of my element so feel free to ask questions if you have any. I’m no expert but I’m happy to share what I can.

I hope so. I want to be on all the lists but not bad enough to use reddit or FB.

She was as tall as a 7 year old Norwegian pine sapling exposed to ideal soil and water conditions and he was as tall as a female giraffe’s asshole.

The socialist is the guy attempting to take a wood saw to the railroad track?

That is quite literally what happened, yes

I have no doubt that many people died in German concentration camps making very similar claims about how to reinvigorate the opposition to the Nazis and what would happen after the next election. Hopefully your pontificating turns out differently than theirs did.

Did you? I can’t tell wtf is happening

idk but the fact that people do that is sad as fuck

It’s funny as a quip in a Rick and Morty episode, not coming from the CEO of a large corporation specializing in surveillance technology.

I don’t, but thanks anyway

I’m not saying there’s nothing we should do to limit Presidential powers, just that the best thing we can so is not put the worst people in that office. Rules can only do so much. All of them have some kind of loophole. At some point you have to blame the voters for putting people who would abuse those powers in the position to do so.

Pardons aren’t the problem. They exist to provide an avenue for reprieve in cases where the law was applied in an unjust or unintended manner, which is not uncommon. The issue is that we let a corrupt, narcissistic piece of shit become President. Obviously he’s going to do terrible things with all the power available to him. It doesn’t mean the powers of the office are inherently bad, it means he is.

I didn’t do anything different in my response to you than you did to me but OK

I don’t disagree with anything you said, except your classification of those actions as rational. I think framing the world and responding to it the way you described is completely irrational.

That last sentence could be true, but if the US can’t keep national cohesion together the EU probably can’t either. One of our big problems is cultural diversity providing avenues for division to take root. The US is infinitely more homogeneous than the EU. I don’t think Europeans are prepared to act like a unified society outside of a few common interests. I still think they should try, but I also think that means something vastly different to citizens in the different nations of the EU.
