I eat corn in a rotating spiral, kind of like a lathe.
What does that make me?
Let me try to rephrase your argument here:
In the context of ignoring literaly everything else in the world, praising this one thing, is literally praising everything Rump does.
You see how that doesn’t really work?
Seriously?
I get that we spend a lot of time online, but the world has much much more in it than big tech. There are at least hundreds of other things out there.
On no! Not at all! Today it’s absolutely clear Rump was soliciting
bribesdonations from the big tech players.And you’re still over stating it. He praised an action, not actions.
Hell, I’m the guy who keeps calling him Rump, and even I can say he did the right thing getting rid of the Penny. That was long over due.
And again, (how many times now) he praised a specific action. And at the time the Republicans and Rump were making noise about going after big tech. That’s not revising anything. For a good month or so, it looked like they might actually do it, to at least some limited degree. Far more than the Democrats anyway.
And at the time, several years ago, that was true.
Again, nothing any of them have said, in any way, is any kind of general endorsement of Republicans or Rump.
At the time the Republicans were making some noise about holding big tech accountable. Proton thought they may have ment it. But then big tech made the right donations and all that fell apart.
Nothing anyone at Proton has ever said, has indicated general support for Republicans or Rump.
Vance was the only one to show up. That’s all they said. That’s what happened. Stating what factually happened isn’t suport.
All that about the dems being captured by corporate interests is true. Had been true for a few decades since Clinton won.
None of it equates to supporting Rump.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do cooks and chefs cook in base 5 increments? For example setting the oven at 350 , 375, 450 and so on. Is there a reason for this or is this how it always has been done?English

I don’t have a problem with tatoos in principle.
But I think the overwhelming majority of what I’ve seen, aren’t good looking enough for permanent placement on someone’s body.
They don’t support Rump.
During his first term, Protons president said one specific thing Rump did isn’t automatically terrible for everyone, it may help Proton and other small online providers. And he was right at the time. That’s as close as anyone at Proton ever got to saying anything nice about Rump.Proton realy is the best you’ll find out there. None of the others are very close yet.

1·12 hours agoRight now your solar noon is at 1pm because we’re currently on DST, which specifically shifts solar noon to 1pm. That’s how it works. When you “Fall Back” to standard time, your noon will match solar noon again.

3·23 hours agoIt is. There’s no reason 8 to 4 would ever need to change. Keep it year-round

187·1 day agoEveryone agrees to stop changing. The only contention is how. Stay on DST, or stay on Standard Time. Lots of people say like you, “More daylight in the evening please!” But they don’t realise all DST does is trick people into getting up early by lying to them, and breaking noon from the sun. Staying on standard time keeps the time sun connection. Then the “standard work day” can be changed to the more appropriate 8 to 4. You get the same effect as DST without lies, tricks, and changing solar noon. It’s cleaner than permanent DST.

341·1 day agoWhen I lived up north by Canada, the logic was “you don’t want kids having to walk to/from school when it’s dark!!” Okay, so… wow, did you know they could change school hours.
The same argument works the other way. Keep noon as the point where the sun is highest. Then change the times of things for appropriate daylight. Daylight savings is just people agreeing to get up an hour earlier. Instead of “9 to 5”, everyone agrees to work 8 to 4. Which coincidentally puts solar noon perfectly in the middle of the work day. Isn’t that a surprise!
That’s all very generically common around the world.
I was hoping for something more specific.
I honestly stopped paying attention to Ukraine 18-24 months ago.
What are the current lies and truth?
























It’s an evolutionary advantage to be motivated to do things.
That’s kind of all there is to it.
