Trump openly said he will be a dictator and will not follow the rule of law. The damage is done man, Putin got what he wanted. I'm not really sure any ways out. We either fall into an authoritarian dictatorship, or we will probably eventually have a civil war. I'm not really sure what else can be done about that. You can't vote yourself out of a dictatorship... So what else is there for people to do?

Nah, all of it will be followed through. He'll be a dictator and just do it. Only reason he didn't full do all the other stuff he whined about last time was some checks and balances he had to fight against to do them.

Lol yah, its clear they all want to be dictators, ya know who says, "I was promised total control?" Dictators.

I was just leaning into the 'weird' framing, since they seem to fucking hate it.

Even the normal stuff they say isn't normal. No CEO comes into a company and is like "hey, I heard I was promised to have total control of this company!" They say "I'm hoping to be effective leader and hope together we can, blah, blah, blah"

No sane person comes into a position like that and says the quiet part out loud "day 1, I was promised total control of public health agencies!"

Very weird indeed.

They've been pretty fun reads so far, but this 7th book has been a bit of a slog. I think I finally got over some of the more boring parts last night, so hoping the rest of the book is easier to finish.

Hey, glad to hear! I bought a used pixel and did almost no research as I'm busy. So glad to be proven wrong!

~~Lol also maybe this is just the new normal to get people to buy phones more often again. I just bought a pixel 8a for my father in law because it was supposed to come with 7 version upgrades before being left to rot. I assumed they release a new major version each year, so the phone should last him 7 years, but maybe it'll only be 3.5 years now?~~

This is proven false, so 7 years of updates, not 7 versions for a pixel 8a, hooray!

The classic 'I don't care how horrible this person or view is' until it affects them 'on noooo, I realized he's terrible! Now I get to seem like an enlightened white Knight, warning others of obvious flaws I decided not to see!'

I bet if the joke was about Mexicans they wouldn't have cared, because it's not them.

Anyone know if they plan to migrate the f-droid k-9 app to this new version, or will k-9 entry in f-droid stop being updated, and you have to install from the new Thunderbird branded entry?
