Yup. This is what frustrates me here and especially the last year: everyone pretends as if Trump is the singular threat that - once defeated- we may move on to other more important things.

But Trump is a manifestation of a national disillusionment with electoral politics and a broader economic failure. We keep dismissing the progressive populism of the left, while the fascistic populism on the right grows to a fever pitch.

If tonight trump keels over from a stress induced aneurism, by tomorrow lunch an opportunistic upstart will take his place because conservatives are frothing at the mouth for retribution. If Republicans return to classical wasp conservatism now, they'll lose the next decade of elections because half their voting base simply isn't interested in stale fiscal policy anymore.

The longer democrats ignore the conditions creating that current of populism beyond the orbit of Big Orange, the shorter lived any victories they might squeeze out now will be. We'll see what happens Tuesday, but i think the odds are leaning away for Harris. We might have to confront that failure sooner than we think.

It doesn't make me feel uncomfortable, it's just hilarious that they felt the need to include it lol

"Did Biden bite a baby? Maybe, but the guy who said something about it is a felon!"

if it's relevant to what they're saying, yea lol

How does Benny Johnson being paid by russia change or effect what he's saying about Biden pretending to bite babies?

Like, if the article had said:

Lemmy user LowtierComputer, whom is alleged to like pineapple on their pizza, commented on an article about Biden biting the baby in the turkey costume.

“Wouldn’t you like to know who’s a Russian rat up front?” they wrote. Their post had been upvoted 4 times by midday Friday.

How does your preferred pizza topping relate to the topic of your comment (biden biting babies)? It might be true, and it might be important information to people who distrust pineapple-pizza-lovers, but it absolutely no bearing on the thing you wrote.

Lmao it's just funny that an article about something so ridiculous has deleterious details about random conservative commentators in it, as if those details have any impact on whether the ridiculous thing happened or not. It almost makes you wonder if the story is actually about Biden at all, or if it's about how shitty those commentators are and Biden was just the excuse to write about them.

The fact that this extremely unserious story is being taken extremely seriously by all parties involved is hilarious to me. Not just the faux outrage by the conservative media, but the shots being fired back by the lib media in response.

Ok, first, LMAO that this is real.

Second, the entire political media apparatus in the US has completely lost grasp with reality. Conservative media has predictably reacted to this with faux outrage, but the fucking liberal response to the conservative response is hilariously combative:

Conservative commentator Benny Johnson, whom the Department of Justice recently alleged was unwittingly paid by Russian state media to produce Kremlin sympathetic content, reposted an image of Biden biting the baby in the turkey costume.

"Apparently Joe Biden is biting babies at The White House this evening," he wrote. His post had been viewed 740,000 times by Thursday morning.

Lol, like - sure - all objectively true. But throwing out 'he's a paid russian agent' accusations against a tweet that's pointing to something Biden actually did is batshit crazy lol. Is the implication that russia is paying Johnson to fabricate a story about Biden biting babies?

The US political media has become a parody of itself and all I can do is laugh at it.

My take? That a third of the american population has taken a liking to fascism.

Fascism isn't borne out of stupidity, it's borne out of greed and desperation. Sure, some of those people are probably as dumb as a bag of rocks (any slice of the american population is liable to have a few), but most are likely just your average-intelligence american who has taken their feelings of fear or envy and rationalized them into fascism.

People like Josef Mangele don't become famous because they're dumb - they become famous because they end up wielding their intelligence against humanity. If we were to assume that everyone with those beliefs is dumb, we'd misunderstand what motivates them and we'd waste our time trying to educate them out of bigotry.

Trump is actively attempting to court these dissatisfied voters. In September, he received the endorsement of Democrat Amer Ghalib, the Muslim mayor of Hamtramck, Michigan.m

Woah, you mean they can do that?!

This almost sounds like 'fascism is capitalism in decay', but strangely isn't.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

disconnect the circumstances from their perpetrators.

Bud, that is literally what the cartoon is doing, Jesus christ.

Good job for seeing past the cartoon i guess but you're hallucinating commentary that isn't there lmao.

This is like when Musk thought the 'machine' in 'Rage Against the Machine' was supposed to be communism lol

Even in the most charitable reading, Israel's atrocities are only the backdrop to what is objectively about Arab Muslims and Islamic practices specifically

It isn't israel slapping the hand of a starving Gazan, it's a Muslim woman in Islamic dressings.

You dont have to be the author to see that they've left israel out of this drawing

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago (5 children)

Go ahead and point to the character in the cartoon that's meant to represent israel. I'll wait.

 
 

He then ends up suggesting the reason they don't like Harris is because she's a woman -

“Because part of it makes me think – and I’m speaking to men directly – part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”

 
 
 

edit: a working solution is proposed by @[email protected] below:

So you’re trying to get 2 instances of qbt behind the same Gluetun vpn container?

I don’t use Qbt but I certainly have done in the past. Am I correct in remembering that in the gui you can change the port?

If so, maybe what you could do is set up your stack with 1 instance in, go into the GUI and change the port on the service to 8000 or 8081 or whatever.

Map that port in your Gluetun config and leave the default port open for QBT, and add a second instance to the stack with a different name and addresses for the config files.

Restart the stack and have 2 instances.


Has anyone run into issues with docker port collisions when trying to run images behind a bridge network (i think I got those terms right?)?

I'm trying to run the arr stack behind a VPN container (gluetun for those familiar), and I would really like to duplicate a container image within the stack (e.g. a separate download client for different types of downloads). As soon as I set the network_mode to 'service' or 'container', i lose the ability to set the public/internal port of the service, which means any image that doesn't allow setting ports from an environment variable is stuck with whatever the default port is within the application.

Here's an example .yml:

services:
  gluetun:
    image: qmcgaw/gluetun:latest
    container_name: gluetun
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN
    environment:
      - VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=mullvad
      - VPN_TYPE=[redacted]
      - WIREGUARD_PRIVATE_KEY=[redacted]
      - WIREGUARD_ADDRESSES=[redacted]
      - SERVER_COUNTRIES=[redacted]
    ports:
      - "8080:8080" #qbittorrent
      - "6881:6881"
      - "6881:6881/udp"
      - "9696:9696" # Prowlarr
      - "7878:7878" # Radar
      - "8686:8686" # Lidarr
      - "8989:8989" # Sonarr
    restart: always

  qbittorrent:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/qbittorrent:latest
    container_name: "qbittorrent"
    network_mode: "service:gluetun"
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=CST/CDT
      - WEBUI_PORT=8080
    volumes:
      - /docker/appdata/qbittorrent:/config
      - /media/nas_share/data:/data)

Declaring ports in the qbittorrent service raises an error saying you cannot set ports when using the service network mode. Linuxserver.io has a WEBUI_PORT environment variable, but using it without also setting the service ports breaks it (their documentation says this is due to CSRF issues and port mapping, but then why even include it as a variable?)

The only workaround i can think of is doing a local build of the image that needs duplication to allow ports to be configured from the e variables, OR run duplicate gluetun containers for each client which seems dumb and not at all worthwhile.

Has anyone dealt with this before?

 

Article text:


Another downtown Minneapolis tower is on the market, this time the Wells Fargo Center as the commercial real estate sector remains under pressure in the post-pandemic economy.

More evidence hybrid work policies are affecting real estate: Capella University significantly downsized its footprint at the Sixth Street tower that bears its name, giving up 167,000 square feet of leased space. Capella when its new lease takes effect will occupy only 111,714 square feet in the building, according to the first quarter office market report from Chicago-based JLL, a commercial real estate services firm.

"Capella University moved to hybrid work model expectations in 2023 following the COVID-19 pandemic," said Lucy Wilson-Garza, spokeswoman for Capella owner Strategic Education Inc. "We routinely assess our physical, brick-and-mortar office space to accommodate the dynamic needs of our employee base. Early this year, Capella University reevaluated our lease at the Capella Tower and used this opportunity to consolidate space."

Dallas-based CBRE Group Inc., which handles leasing for Capella Tower, declined comment. Officials for San Francisco-based Shorenstein Properties, which owns the tower, could not be reached for comment.

The overall office vacancy rate for downtown Minneapolis at the end of the first quarter was 31.3%, up a percentage point from the same quarter a year ago, according to Chicago-based Cushman & Wakefield, a commercial real estate services firm. In the first quarter of 2019, the rate was 19.6%.

More than 8.9 million square feet of office space in downtown Minneapolis is now available for lease, the firm said.

The Miami-based Starwood Capital Group acquired Wells Fargo Center for $315 million in 2019. Starwood representatives could not be reached for comment. CBRE is handling the listing.

The news regarding Wells Fargo and Capella are par for the course, real estate experts said.

Two dominant themes of today's office market are that tenants are seeking less space and buildings are being sold at steep discounts compared to previous sales.

"Values have dropped significantly and it's time for a reset," said Mike Salmen, managing principal for the Minneapolis office of Houston-based Transwestern.

The Cushman & Wakefield report took note of a smaller deal earlier this year in the Warehouse District: "the Kickernick Building in the Minneapolis CBD was sold at auction for $3.8 million, or approximately 20% of its 2017 sale price of $19.15 million."

Adam Duininck, CEO of the Minneapolis Downtown Council, said the downtown recovery remains mixed.

"I think there's a little bit of good news and a little bit of challenging news," said Adam Duininck, CEO of the Minneapolis Downtown Council.

Duininck pointed to U.S. Bancorp signing a 10-year renewal for its downtown headquarters last fall as a good sign. Downtown Council statistics show hotel occupancy, transit ridership and returning office workers are all increasing.

"We know there's more activity that's happening month by month," Duininck said.
