There is an English equivalent: burgher. (pronounced like hamburger)

It just means a "person of town". And you don't have to memorize ludicrous French spelling.

This is part of a global push to end anonymity on the internet. And it's not about surveillance by the State or even censorship, it's about surveillance by capital. The State want's to control everyone who's a threat. Capital wants the same thing, just without the last three words.

If insurance companies were getting hosed by injured people, why don't they look into ways that cars might cause fewer injuries instead of abandoning the injured?

Capitalism is the enemy of reason.

It's omnivores that get +2 to int. Predators put all their points into str and dex.

This is a constitutional amendment, y'all realize that's a generational project, right? Impeachment and removal are trivial by comparison.

The founders didn’t account for the level of government vulnerability to bad actors when they made SC seats lifetime appointments.

The founders didn't account for lot's of shit; it's time to stop pretending these were uniquely wise geniuses and accept that they were shitty politicians just like we've got now. America has not changed, corruption, government oppression, and tyranny have been features of our government from day 1. There was no Revolution, more like an under new management.

My misspent youth included methamphetamines. I spelled it out because "meth" seems worse somehow.

Anyway, about 3 days without sleep comes with debilitating brain fog, hallucinations, and wild mood problems. You could probably pass for the fist day, because meth intoxication isn't as obvious as others, but people will notice that you lost your mind.

Well, you cant' get good infrastructure because your black in the bad old days. In modern times, you can't get repairs, because your black. What amazing progress, says John Roberts.

Nobody ever went right because they were "betrayed" by the left. That's like going gay because of a bad breakup. Most people who legitimately feel betrayed by the left go further left.

What the right does cultivate is false grievance against the left. And this "walkaway" narrative is fake news.

The internet is a great place for children to express wild views and try out extreme politics in order to test boundaries and discover themselves. I support this acting-out; it's healthy. You may grow up to be an moderately adjusted person.

I literally had never a seen a single person who looks good with them.

What if I told you that what people do with their bodies may (and stick with me here) have absolutely nothing to do with what pleases you? Who made you the body police in the first place?

All anyone cares about is which powerful man gets embarrassed. And I recon it's more likely that Maxwell will get out early than any predator gets jail.

There were HUNDREDS of victims; it went on for decades; and nobody gives a tiny shit. Have you heard anybody propose a law, a task force, even a blue ribbon commission to find out how this happened or make sure nobody does this again? Are their any more resources for victims because of this?

Our society accepts that men of wealth are entitled to abuse people. And sexual abuse is all in the game. Because at the end of the day our legal system is constructed to protect these people from the rabble, not hold them to account.

A pedophile is political designation to strip rights, dignity, and legitimacy from enemies. Children being harmed is beside the point.

I own Windows 11 and my computer and preferred OS (Fedora) support TPM and Secure boot. Is it worth the time to configure that stuff to run W11, or should I just continue to run W10 since I don't do anything but run a couple games?

I have a robust backup, so even a system wide Nuke is a day's worth of re-installing, worst case.

Honestly, since I boot W10 so rarely, it'll kinda be nice not to have to update it every time.
