Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

I want to ask one of the dumbest redhats near me to try to explain, in full, just what the hell low-t means by this.

[–] MIDItheKID@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I was pretty confused by redhats at first. I was like "Hey man, I thought people liked Linux around here"

[–] Gustephan@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Even among linux enjoyers redhat has stigma now. Iirc they went closed source a bit ago

Rhel is not closed source just letting you know

Allow me to role play a southern traitor-flag waving sisterfucker for a few moments:

Yew jes' don' get it. Thas why we'r gunna win in 2024 whoo! Drumpf rules!

He's jes' too real fer yew, he speaks what we'r all thinkin' and we ar so gosh darn' tir'd of yew high falutin' city edumacated tranny chil' traffikr's tellin' us to make cakes for y'all and forcin' us all decent folk to be aware of yer very existunc in public like it's normal!! Trannies belon' hidden in our incawgneato mode private browsin' sessions, nawy livin' normal like regyewlar peopal!

Now Ah am DEATHLY afraid of nawt appearin' 'normal', so much that Ah will accep' blindly any ~~demon~~ demuhnstration (haha Satan almost caught me there an made me type 'demon'! Nawt Today Satan!) that some there authority figure performs, without, an Ah stress this as importan', evahluating thee moral value or danger that authority man's (because, nawt like they'd be a WOMAN right!? Haw! Puncin' down is thee most powherful punchin'!) achtions acthchually involve.

So wen mah leedurship picks a target, I durn better make noise loud and clear that I Hatemucate That Target Too Gosh Darn It! I hate it even more than you and that makes me righter and better! I hatemajigger them/it/us twice as loud cause I don' want my righteous brothers findin' out my daughter was born a son and is staying a daughter no matter how many times I beat or humiliate 'em.

Ah don' know the first thing about bayologee or chemistree or fisicks, but Ah DO know that some goatherder 3000 years ago thought gay people icky ahn I don' want Mah communitee thinkin' mah family icky so I'm gonna ignore 80 years of science an' just keep beatin 'em till they're norhmul again.

Man, what would ah do if they tought mah family icky? They'd cast us out! Then what wuld we do? Go to the dirty commie tranny bleedy edumacated people? Heck no, those babykiller/eaters/diddlers would reject US Jus' Leik' We Been Rejectin' Them for all mah laife.

Oh what wer we talkin' about? Yeah Trannies wanna indoctruhnate yer chillren to be enviruhnmentally cohnscious an' respectin' worl' cultchure an' treatin' brown peopul laik nohrmul peopul. We can't be havin' that so that's why Drumpf is right!

I respect the effort, I do, but I think this is pushing it
