Next week:
“Beijing announces outlawing of ‘academic pub’ spaces in major metropolitan areas”

Losing advanced semiconductors is more than a market crash led by the tech majors. It would be the partial collapse of western industry and most of our way of life. Every single fragile tendril of modern infrastructure is run by a computer or microprocessor that has a 100% chance of using components from Taiwan or China. The second any of those controller components cannot be easily replaced, that system goes down for weeks, possibly months if not a year, before a suitable replacement can be conjured or re-engineered to use a different domestically produced system. We are talking power plants, water plants, sewer plants, any and every kind of factory, everything.

Because I am not so blinded by my own self-centered, egotistical view of moral purity as to throw away my vote on retaining civilian rights.

lol

Your point?

he’s now in charge of Health and Human Services come january

yes, he is in charge of US health. Eating a big mac.

?

it’s a lemmy classic

I wasn’t super fond of the democrat’s platform either man, but I definitely wanted Not Fascism and Some Semblance of Human Rights to win.

Now we have nothing, and I have to make plans to figure out how to get my girlfriend out of the country if she ever needs reproductive care. Great job!

I’ve never stopped working towards productive goals for the past 6 years on my local level. Maybe you should ask that to the ~10 million democratic voters that stayed home this year?

Well now you have Trump who will commit additional genocides within our domestic borders on top of all the complete eradication he will directly fund outside of our borders. you definitely showed them libs!

smart!

the only thing I’d worry about is 3d prints not being actually sealed. the layer lines are never airtight and always allow air and thus moisture to leak past them unless a lacquer sealant is applied. so this won’t keep film very fresh for a very long time but would work great for travel and transport!

Humidity ruins PLA. It turns brittle AF once it has absorbed any major amount of moisture, and that is significantly sped up with temperature.

Any strikes occurring after January 20th will be met with immediate deadly military force and decade long prison sentences, so the port owners are just going to ride it out.

The first amendment is dead

Don’t let Matt gaetz know about her wearabouts

If enabling fascist means funny market number go up, they will do it.

Bye bye first amendment rights!

I guess Trump’s weekly marching orders chat with Putin doesn’t count

Certain things are OK to not have a political opinion on. Example: Taxes are complicated and most people don’t understand them; most probably want to pay less of them but do not really need to put their limited political energy to focusing on them.
That applies to most nonpolitical subjects too… most things to have an opinion on like food, movies, music whatever, are generally of little consequence.

Things that affect the base existence of large swaths of the population, aka human rights, are not something a living citizen can admit a “don’t care” opinion on. You either want to live free or you don’t, and having no opinion on such is how you end up without the legal right to any opinions…

The key to both is to have a complete information stream before forming any opinion or comitting to not having one. I do a nonzero amount of research even before writing a lot of comments here on Lemmy to make sure my facts are straight, and maybe 40% of the time discover it’s either not worth my time to write, or I was initially wrong and my comment shouldn’t be made.
