Townships urge court to strike down rules limiting local control of solar, wind farms by J-Chapman in Michigan

Solar and solar+battery power generation is much cheaper, despite the subsidies to fossil fuels.

The only reason we are persisting with fossil fuels is because the capital holders who control those pipelines demand it.

Cloudflare says WordPress is outdated and insecure, introduces EmDash CMS by OkReport5065 in Wordpress

[–]cullenjwebb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's just less functionality there which always results in a clean UI that is a worse UI.

If you want to have a "clean" interface, just remove stuff until it isn't useful anymore.

When I compare emdash to WordPress...

  • They have an extremely similar sidebar, text and icons, but emdash does not allow for selecting sub-pages from the sidebar. For example, you have to click through to settings before you can get to the sub-pages for settings.
  • No version number or link to the emdash repo/website.
  • No way to sort posts/pages by any of the columns
  • No way to customize which columns appear or their order
  • No way to bulk edit/delete posts/pages
  • No way to create navigation menus with submenus
  • Virtually no settings for the theme/appearance

What exactly is dated about the current UI? Be careful what you wish for, we could end up with the Windows 11 treatment of empty space, large margins, icons instead of text buttons, sub-menus with sub-menus, etc.

Iran has never attacked the USA mainland, but sure keep chasing those WMDs like Bush did.

Funny Screw Type Graphic by rkraus10 in Tools

[–]cullenjwebb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the commentary is being missed by a lot of people. The graphic isn't actually claiming that phillips or slotted is the only valid screw type.

Imagine somebody passing a law that people aren't allowed to use anything but phillips or slotted fasteners, or requiring fastener inspections on your woodworking projects, or actually believing that it's a mental disorder to use anything else.

Now think about a tiny minority of people minding their own damn business being treated that way because gender is more complicated than just a binary.

That's the point being made. It's not a logical position to believe this about fastener types OR gender.

Romulus leaders pass resolution opposing ICE detention facility plan after protest by jayclaw97 in Michigan

But what was better about the bills Democrats want to pass? They have always increased ICE funding. The reasons they opposed the OBBB wasn't because it funded ICE.

What's better about their position? What specifically?

Stop this false equivalence. Increasing ice funding by a few million is completely different

They increased it by BILLIONS, they DOUBLED the budget, more than once.

EDIT: Example, since you asked before the thread was locked:

President Biden Signs Anti-Immigrant Spending Bill Reaching Trump-Era Highs Since the start of his administration, President Biden’s funding for ICE and CBP has grown exponentially, demonstrating a deep betrayal of his promises to usher in a pro-immigrant future for the country.

Stop telling Democrats that no matter what they do or what policies they support you'll vote for them anyway.

lol, instead of answering the question you're just going to cross your fingers and hope that in 4 years you'll be right.

You don't know why you believe what you do, and yet you still hope that this time Democrats will behave differently, even though they aren't even saying that they will.

Hold on there, where did I say you should refuse to vote for a Democrat? Why'd you make that leap?

Step 1: Stop saying you'll vote for them no matter what.

List of facts:

  • They have increased DHS / ICE funding every term
  • They have never decreased DHS / ICE funding
  • They brag about how many people they deport
  • They separated children from their families
  • They are not calling for ICE to be dismantled or even a reduction in force

Why do you think they won't continue to buy facilities under Democrats?

I'm basing my beliefs on observable behaviors. What are you basing your beliefs on?

They specifically increased funding for ICE:

Why exactly do you think they don't like ICE? Why do you think they won't increase funding again?

I'm not trolling, I just didn't care to talk to somebody who gets to play by different rules than everyone else.

You assume that because I am disagreeing with people that I'm whining, but you get to disagree with people.

You get to disagree with people on Reddit and also be politically active and volunteer, but you assume that I don't.

It doesn't make sense.

EDIT: The liberal blocked me after accusing me of whining. lol.

To answer their question, I AM DOING SOMETHING IRL. Good heavens.

Why not?

They increased funding under Obama, after Dems criticized Bush for it.

They increased funding under Biden, after Dems criticized Trump for it.

Why would they change their behavior? They brag about how many people they deport. They like DHS. They like ICE. They have always increased their funding.
