Oh we absolutely do. And we tell lies, and we misunderstand, and miscommunicate.

But not all the time, and not everyone. So if your friend if they’d like dinner, you expect the answer to be true to what they want, not just whatever sounds good to the general population. If you read a scientific journal, you expect the scientists to represent the facts and even the meaning of their research, not parrot some ideas from a half-forgotten textbook. And if you see a professional counsellor, you expect them to have a good understanding of human nature, and to genuinely empathise with your situation, and have good ways to help you out.

And of course all three of those examples fail sometimes, which is why as part of life we learn who we can trust and to what extent.

Ah, well, if the vegetable oil has been brominated by the council of bros, it should be all good, bro.

Rehab is Stardew Valley, right? Stop automating and just plant your crops by hand each day.

Say hello to the destroyer worm on Volcanus

That sounds legendary.

Only if you reroll it through your quality-modded assembler enough times.

Ah that makes cents.

True, one person needs an account. You used to be able to do Jitsi - and before it other webrtc calling solutions - with no account at all but now Jitsi also needs the first host to sign in.

But Signal calls, every participant must have a Signal account. The others, I can invite people to join with no account.

“Browser tech”? Just the fact you can make it work from a browser without needing to install anything else. Again, Signal isn’t set up for that kind of thing. It’s just designed and extended from a different use case.

Jitsi. Even zoom and teams allow joining without an account. Good ol’ webrtc and browser tech.

Yeah but all his hot air isn’t got for global warming.

“No tariffs without Harris”

They can’t get out of bed for it without their coffee.

Finally a real cure for American obesity.

Hi Susie! 🥰 Your mom also says hi and reminds you not to RAM any drivers on your pizza run or your stack might overflow.

Did you get the linter we sent for your birthday? Auntie Linu says you can use it when you compile your route to spot red flags.

Cycling these days has gotten much easier. You can even sleep in and skip breakfast; once out on your ride you can get food from the universal cereal bus.

Darn it! And I was so hungry too.

Is that when the car behind you skips in front because you take too long?

Qg6, ke7, nd5.

Can I get a burger now?

Again, which party is it giving the mega wealthy tax breaks?

But that’s rather the point here, isn’t it? So much Democrat rhetoric and support comes across as, “they’re worse so you have to like us.” Not exactly inspiring to people whose livelihoods are struggling.

where you differ from a whildly unpopular president… and you answer “nowhere”.

I watched the beginning of the Trump-Harris debate. When Harris was asked why she and Biden kept Trump’s trade tariffs (after just saying how bad new ones would be), she gave no answer and went back to bashing Trump.

And your points on the economy are essentially, the economy is booming…

I felt a lot of disconnect between the “Biden is the greatest” and “America is suffering” rhetoric in the lead up to the election.

the worry some have about fascism taking over is not believed by many… politicians say a lot…

Not American here, but I still have much hope that the fate of America is in the hands of her people. My biggest fear at Trump’s election is if it inspires more of the nation to hate and anger - because the president is your leader in that way.

But you see, Trump won because a lot of people voted for him. If the American people can find a new love for the poor, for fairness between worker and manager, for people who look and act differently: then I have great hope for the nation’s recovery.
