Stop blaming your tools for what you do with them. Letting them run unchecked is what led here. Politicians should be kept in line by replacing them if they misbehave. People didn't do that, people stopped doing that decades ago, and now everybody is playing shocked Pikatchu.

People keep defending not voting for Harris by saying she was for "genocide". But not voting for Harris allowed genocide on a scale that voting for Harris never would have -> so people who are clearly FOR genocide keep saying they avoided voting for Harris because they are somehow against genocide...

The original was saying they voted, so not in this particular case, except where they are saying the same thing, but I keep seeing that Harris=genocide response on here every other day, when we can clearly see (and from project 2025 could clearly see a year earlier) that the other option was a full blown nazi state which will kill millions. Got a very easy option to stop it before it started, with the added bonus that the Harris government would have been more responsive to protests (at this point, anything would have been more responsive to protests) and could have been then pressured to not go along with the Israeli occupation. Instead these people choose (and are keeping to defend their choice) to kill a few millions out of... idk, spite? Including the people they are claiming to protect by not choosing Harris. Especially them.

And right now I'm not sure if they are horrified by the blood that will be on their hands (better option) or trying to push the "don't support the dems no matter what" narrative to stop any coherent movement (propaganda bots). I'm guessing the latter in most cases, because they include AOC, who would definitely organize, IF there was some support which there isn't.

Everybody's so very sure the "other side" is blindsided by propaganda, but the fact is that both sides are blindsided by propaganda. It's pushing the nazis to act and pushing the woke to sit back and wait or run around like headless chicken and backstab their own. But you are both pushed.

tl;dr: the Harris=genocide narrative will still cause harm by stopping any support for dems organizing which is why social media is flooded with it right now

People use fidget spinners, but I figured out that holding a palm stone (whether purpose bought or just picked up off the ground) in my hand will let me sit and watch stuff vs. randomly forgetting I'm watching stuff.

I swear if somebody brings up genocide with Harris again when defending Trump...

Their not voting created this situation in the first place. They wanted this situation. People who are hurt by this situation are rather justified in hating the people who put them into it. You say it's because these people choose to do this on their own, because of their own free will. I agree with you on this. But THEIR justification in creating this situation does not fucking matter to others. It does not matter if somebody stabs you in the back because they hate you or because they are trying to make a point or out of boredom or out of some philosophical whatnot, what matters to you is that you have a knife sticking out of your back and bleeding to death. And when you turn around, what you see is your attacker crying a river about their right to stab you and why are you blaming them? It's not like THEY hate you like THOSE other guys!

Fact is that if they voted for the other side, they would have a perfectly stable democracy (lol, not really) where they could then campaign for stuff they want without the world being on fire around them. Which btw, they aren't doing with the word being on fire around them either, but if they did it now, they'd be wiped off it by the powers they put into place.

If they thought genocide in Israel was bad, why did they make it worse and global?

If they cared about human rights, they'd be defending human rights. People who make matters worse out of spite are not the good guys. I wish they at least owned their awfulness instead of crying all over social media how people blame them for the things they actually did, when they themselves happily boasted about it just a month ago.

How do you upgrade to pro? I installed home because I was thinking of using my existing win7 key, then though better and activated the other way (because the old computer is still in use by mum - she gets my castoffs lol). But I would have installed pro if I knew I'll want to keep the win7...

What do you mean "can"? It can only be turned off for a month, max, then they force update it for you.

Wait I could have used my (legit) win7 key for 11?

I actually had to start eating more fat because the "normal" fat diet (not even low fat at that) I had was making my stomach ache. Started putting more fat on everything and it's all good now. I'm even actually dieting and losing weight - cut out a lot of sweets instead and I'm eating less of everything. But with more fat.
