  • We had four mobiles going off at various points throughout the house. Only one human wasn’t sleeping, and everyone else was.

    What the flappy fuck are they thinking we’re gonna do while we’re sleeping?

    In a world where we canceled standard time because we didn’t want to suffer the injury risk of driving after the time change, how many injuries or deaths happened today because people got awakened at midnight and then some of us at 1am? How many of those deaths is worth what may have potentially been a risk in West Kelowna (the West Virginia of Kelowna - I say this as a GPSS student, upset at the name change)?

    I hate to be a one-issue voter, but I may have found my one issue.





  • If the Presidential election was held today he’d lose to a moldy sandwich.

    He - a 34-times elitist felon with no clue about anything - won, over a career prosecutor and community leader with experience in the job, who was unfortunately a woman with the wrong pigmentation and unable to disagree with the policies of her current boss until she was in a position to change them.

    I strongly doubt he’d lose to even the best candidate. If they could or can, foreign money making bank on this halfwit’s whims would bankroll another sketchy victory time and time again.

    The USA is not a democracy

    This question is not relevant: you’re not voting based on how the country is now, or was last week. You’re voting based on how the country should be, each time. You’re picking the least-bad leader out of a small set of options, based on whether they’re even marginally better.

    In this case, a LOT of alternatives are better than the current setup, so I don’t understand the dilemma.

    …thus, the suspicion about trolling.

    Should I vote Republican to slow down full blown let it all hang out fascism because I don’t want to vote Democrat?

    1. Evolution means choosing the better option in each case to invoke slow but important beneficial change
    2. Harm reduction is a great short-term strategy
    3. There’s absolutely no reason to ever vote the elitist racist party of kiddy-diddlers
    4. If you’re feeling like not voting, or voting in a way that harms people for no gain ever, then you may be a victim of manipulation by the conservatives so you don’t vote against them. They’re good at this.

    Questions asking whether someone should vote in a way that causes harm can sound like a trolling question. I’m sorry if other respondents treat it as such.



  • There is a community edition but serious users will run into its limitations

    No true Scot, then?

    I’m running gitlab implementations at a few sites. I’ve not seen or heard of any performance limiter with a self-managed community edition that removes a tool the others still provide.

    and it does not integrate neatly with external solutions.

    Again, this sounds FUDdy. Which ‘external solutions’ are you using that a git-push fails on? Some spaghetti of saas tendrils seems to be already a risk, but I can’t think of any other external thing that it could mess up with.
