I don't think guilt based is the right word. It's not guilt.

Should not, but I think it does.

And do I really have to say why the West doesn't care about Africa?

I think it's a generational thing. After WW2 and the Holocaust there was support for a Jewish homeland. And of course you couldn't be seen as antisemitic. So the silent generation supported Israel, and the boomers still impacted by post WW2 inherited that mentality. But the next generation is questioning why exactly.

In addition I think the Christians see it as a crusade, whether they use that word or not, and hide it behind all sorts of reasons.

Both sides same!

This is downright interesting.

Except your exposure to burn pits.

I remember seeing a video of an Indian couple berating a black woman because she was black. I read into that that they think they're adjacent to white (I hate using those terms).

Anyway from the article

“Christian voices should be the main voice of America. And I want to know basically why you seem to be, and I don't mean to be horribly offensive, but why you seem to be masquerading as a Christian?” one woman in the crowd asked. The young man who followed her was even more direct. “If you are an Indian, a Hindu, coming from a different culture, different religion, than those who founded this country—those who grew this country, built this country, made this country the beautiful thing that it is today—what are you conserving? You are bringing change,” he said. The man went on to ask Ramaswamy how he could represent Ohioans, when 64 percent of them are Christian.

Surely they won't come after my rights. - Conservatives and conservative voters.

Reminder that Clarence hates liberalism and thinks it ruined his life. Best I can think is that he's annoyed that people think he was hired under affirmative action.

Well you just have to make everyone rich first! Then when everyone's rich they can solve the problem all by themselves! (Jordan Peterson's argument for climate change.)

AI prevention?

 

That is all.

 

It will start with the 600,000 Venezuelans under Temporary Protected Status (revoked Jan 2025).

Then anyone that speaks Spanish.

Then everyone.

(Not necessary to complete each one before going to the next, but this will be the order it hits the news.)

 

The Supreme Court ruled on October 3, 2025, allowing the administration to strip legal protections from more than 300,000 Venezuelan migrants, putting on hold a lower-court ruling that had blocked the TPS termination. The Trump administration has moved to end TPS for 600,000 Venezuelans and 500,000 Haitians who received protection under former President Joe Biden.

U.S. District Judge Edward Chen in San Francisco had ruled last year that the DHS "acted with unprecedented haste" to terminate Venezuelan migrants' TPS status, finding that DHS made "decisions first and searched for a valid basis for those decisions second."

Appears that Noem ended TPS for Venezuelans last year Jan 2025.

Linux Mint XFCE.

Going into Mouse and Touchpad > Touchpad > Pointer Speed > Acceleration:

BUT changing the acceleration doesn't actually change acceleration, it adjusts speed.

Cinnamon and MATE have different sliders for speed and acceleration and actually worked.

*To clarify, there is only one slider. Yes I am selecting touchpad from the drop down box. The header says "Pointer Speed", the slider says "Acceleration" but adjusts speed. IIRC cinnamon has 2, one for speed and one for accleration, which is what you expect.

 

Then we lose Obamacare, leading to backlash against Trump who is then never reelected?

 

I hated lugging textbooks home, taking a chromebook home would've been much easier.

 

Of course this got me wondering about the etymology:

-stat

noun combining form

1: stabilizing agent or device thermostat

2: instrument for reflecting (something specified) constantly in one direction heliostat

3: agent causing inhibition of growth without destruction bacteriostat

 

Paraphrased:

The narcissist’s smirk is a subtle but telling expression that occurs when a narcissist experiences pleasure from manipulating or deceiving someone.

For narcissists, the smirk usually reflects contempt, which is a deep-seated disdain or lack of respect towards others. For narcissists contempt is tied to their belief in their own superiority. They view others who do not serve their needs as worthless or beneath them, showing a complete disregard for how their actions impact those around them.

 

It will start with "lying" on forms, "incorrect" asylum claims, "concern is over" asylum claims, and soon enough people born to illegal immigrants. Slow boiled frog and all that.

 

Much is said about lead and crime rates, I'm wondering about the more mundane things.
