Glad to meet another short giant!

I walk like a giant apparently, or with springs in my shoes. Not sure why I walk this way but its noticeable and many have pointed this feature out.

GTA 4 in game TV series.

Carl’s lock.

Its ridiculous, my British uncle is convinced Critical Race Theory is tour is in school. I asked him what critical race theory is and he didn’t know. People are being lied to and then they tie it to ego and become talking heads for shit they have no idea of beyond surface level.

this sounds very involved initially but hands off after the fact.

thank you and no dejection taken. you’re actually very helpful :D

I followed your advice, Github my edit link_dpms.c, - Github my edit link_dp_training.c how do i submit as RFC. total noob with github lol.

not looked in to pacman hooks but will need to now lol any i made a script that downloads, unzips and patches then compiles so mostly hands free.

cheers, I’m using sed to patch the files then auto mated compiling

thank you i will read up on how to submit this kind of stuff.

set LINK_TRAINING_ATTEMPTS from 5 to 10 in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/link/link_dpms.c and set LINK_TRAINING_RETRY_DELAY from 50 to 100 in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/link/protocols/link_dp_training.c.

i doubt this will be added to kernel as its a fix for an issue that isn’t wide spread.

no they get a free pass /s

Like I said, we had the lowest voter turnout since 1918. We’ve been under a Conservative government for 17 years, and now we have a Labour government that’s sticking to the same austerity measures—removing rent caps on social housing, increasing utility prices. Essentially, nothing has changed, and in some ways, things are getting worse.

I’m not a liberal so there isn’t much rope for me to pull.

I want real change, so I organize with a socialist party. I’ve gone door-to-door with TUSC candidates in the run up to the general election, spoken at counter-demonstrations, shown up at pickets, and helped set up community outreach throughout my local area. Just last month, I attended an international meeting in Germany, so it’s not like I’m some ill-informed internet loony. I’m more than happy for people to vote how they like, and I wouldn’t discourage anyone from doing so, but I also won’t use vapid slogans like “not voting is a vote for Trump.”

seems as if the United States electoral system has become systematized where using ones democratic right to not vote or vote third party is now an attack. in the UK where i am based we had a push to spoil ballot papers, this was a democratic protest against an unchanging system which many see as failing them. this election spoke for itself with the lowest voter turn out since 1918. how have we gone the Orwellion rout of framing democracy in such an undemocratic way.
either way good luck in your election i hope the Democrats neither the orange man gets in.

So third party are okay?

many parties are active in this, the party i am a member of are having a push towards “fight bosses not migrants” we do need unity of the working class and calling working class people fascists will only push them deeper into their corners.
the other day i spoke to someone about politics, he complained of housing prices, stagnating wages then exclaimed “its socialism” bottom line: he isn’t a fascist but where he gets his information from is fascist.

if someone doesn’t agree with either party why should they vote? when someone refuses to vote for your party they are simple refusing, this does not mean they are voting for the other side. i really dislike this conflation people make.

here’s a fun thought experiment. democrats win this upcoming election, does this mean all the people who didn’t vote had actually voted democrats?

It is, it has a hero’s tail kinda vibe, terminator perhaps. Whereas the right tend to come off as SkyNet in their violence.

to come back to a serious point though, read History of The Russian Revolution and you will soon see the violence is a reaction to the class antagonism, these striking workers were peaceful till the police started shooting.

revolution i hear you say?

be civil please
