That is great to hear! I wouldn’t assume they are all monolithic, but the last part of that sounds better than I’d have pictured.

I’m also a noob with tech anymore. My old faithful router started dropping this year, replaced it with the Flint 2 earlier this year because I also wanted OpenWRT. It comes with OpenWRT installed, but I don’t think it’s the plain old vanilla OpenWRT, so when I hooked it up and started setting it up, it needs a firmware update anyway, so I installed the actual OpenWRT from their site. It’s been great since, totally happy with it.

I read this story somewhere else yesterday and saw in the comments someone trying to justify it by saying “the media is keepin it a secret these people were Amish to spread their pro vaxx lies” like that would make it any better. I imagine part of the reason of having mandatory vaccines is try to and protect the innocent children of religious extremists from dying needlessly for being part of a sect they had no choice in joining.

Haven’t seen any confirmation the victims were Amish, but given the location, it wouldn’t shock me. I think if that is the case, it still highlights we have 2 problems instead of just 1.

You got me. I’m the Fediverse’s biggest warmonger. How was I able to fool everyone else but you all this time???

It’s an interesting strategy to try and take someone out of context when my full statement is right above yours, I never would have thought of that.

And why am I responsible for every action of my government even if I didn’t vote for any of these guys, but you seem to bear no responsibility for what your country’s government does? If I did that, I might worry I’d come off as a huge hypocrite. But you seem to do it flawlessly! Kudos to you, and your moral high ground. You have truly bested me today.

The article felt it really reinforces they know they aren’t welcome, but are moving forward regardless.

They claim it was a misunderstanding, but now that Greenland is clarifying their position with the drilling team is still proceeding, I don’t see how that is anything but being provocative.

It will be interesting to see how we fight after blowing all our missile reserves in Iran. 😒

I wonder how aware of the circumstances the actual drill crew members being sent there. Do they know they are being sent there as pawns or possibly expendable cannon fodder?

Dr Phil just got tasked to run pro-annexation propaganda for the US oil company invading Greenland.

Greenland Energy has retained Phil McGraw, better known as Dr Phil, a prominent rightwing former chatshow host who served on Trump’s religious freedom commission, to make a documentary series that will “capture the mission of these modern-day wildcatters”.

Exactly this. I don’t disagree with wanting to cut the weakest members of the team to find someone better, but that’s for the primaries.

Looking at real numbers, Fetterman is better than Manchin or Sinema. Fetterman breaks with party lines around 25% of the time while Sinema was at 33% and Manchin was almost 40%. That makes him around twice as good as Manchin.

Idealogically, he also seems to stack up more favorably than both Manchin and Sinema, and a few other well know congressfolk that never get brought up in these conversations. Fetterman, like Manchin and Sinema, just seems to draw more attention to himself when he does it.

Do I dislike Fetterman and want him gone and replaced by someone better? Heck yeah! But the record shows he’s about 75% better than having Dr Oz as my senator would have been. Ignoring the times he did do what he was sent to do is very misleading to people that don’t take the time to look at actual data, which is going to be nearly everyone. Conor Lamb’s ideology score doesn’t look any better, so what we got is still about the best we had a chance to get.
