It’s easier to steal, copy, or alternatively subpoena a fingerprint.

Biometrics, huh? You know- passwords are more secure…

Immigrants being on the right is also implicit. Almost nobody is gonna migrate to some place new because things like recent changes are going well for them in their country of origin. They instead leave and migrate to some place that is relatively more stable & predictable. Host countries don’t like it when people migrate over and start agitating for change. As a result conservatism is built into the process.

–Consider the Cuban Communist. The Cubans that are happy with Communism have no major incentive to leave and resettle in Miami. The Cuban Capitalists OTOH flee to Miami where they espouse the evils of Communism while advocating for our government to continue the trade embargo, ensuring they can spread their pain to their fellow Cubans back in Cuba. It’s the same exact story with Falun Gong

To add to what you said I’d also argue it comes with finding financial success while lacking the awareness of how lucky one had to be to achieve that kind of success in life.

– although lately I have also seen a lot of people that lack the imagination to consider a reality different from what’s presented to them by the status quo.

On second thought, that latter point just sounds a lot like Indoctrination.

A lot of conservatives are liberals. The two terms are not mutually exclusive.

This is quite dangerous

Not dangerous. Strapped in place. That ain’t goin’ nowhere.

I love it!

The schadenfreude, I mean.

Been there.

The Dems will preserve a political model that’s at least malleable.

Much like during covid when they gave preferential treatment to themselves while simultaneously working to remove the Green party from ballots.

-More to the point your comment runs contrary to reality and the very nature of the joke pointed out in the meme.

That does explain why there are always outspoken vegans inside my echo chambers.

First time?

Do public schools not teach keyboarding anymore? I ask because I had a keyboarding classe two-hrs 1day per week in grade school plus a full class one year in 7th grade and then again for a full year in high school, and they were always taught by some of the oldest teachers in the school. -My high-school teacher started his career teaching typewriter typing something like three or four decades prior to teaching me in 2004. It seems strange that new young people aren’t getting that same basic education.

…but they are a legitimate government as much as you don’t like it and the people have the right to sort their…

I’m Indifferent, though I see your point. I thought your numbers undercut your argument before you elaborated. Thanks for the follow-up.

30 years of war? Are you including their initial war with the USSR in that statement? Otherwise that sounds like a 50% rounding error.

I personally like the idea that Copyright should be on par with design patent law. An initial filing 10-15yrs plus two additional opportunities to renew and extend it for 10 years if the creator can make supplementary creations that were dependent on and based off of the original works. -In the case of novels, that would equate to new sequels or prequels.

When I first transitioned away from Windows. Linux was admittedly a little less stable and reliable but unlike windows, there was a well documented solution pathway to almost every Linux problem I encountered, whereas Windows solutions always amounted to recommending uninstalling/reinstalling hardware in the Device Manager and rebooting the computer. I remember a few times that windows updates completely crashed my install and I had to roll-back to an earlier version or even do a repair/reinstall from disc -The documented Windows solutions (aside from the reinstall) rarely worked. Now it’s 20 years later and I rarely have reliability issues with Linux aside from my one hardware failure -but that’s not a Linux-specific issue.

I can pick out Italy, France, Portugal, Spain. Is it that country with ancient world history dating all the way back to classical antiquity? -you know, uh Atlantis?
