France Cracked Down on Far-Right Corruption—And Team Trump Is Triggered by santa in c/news@lemmy.world

Nothing to do with Democrats. This has everything to do with American Politics; Republican, Democratic, Independent.

Corruptions only friend is freedom from responsibility and accountability. We have that pretty dialed in here in usa.

Senate Democrats embrace hardball on government shutdown by santa in c/politics@lemmy.world

Any D needs to vote no. Republicans control all three branches. They own any shutdown. Seems like it is already shutdown. Fucking Johnson gaslighting Ds telling them they need to do the responsible thing. They can eat me.

Is this the end of USPS? by santa in c/politics@lemmy.world

No. It’s in our Constitution. It can’t be whisked away unless it is approved through Congress.

Excellent thus far… An interesting new phase I’ve learned from book is “negative freedom” and “positive freedom,” which are both philosophical terms. In summary, negative freedom is typically what we in America refer to as freedom; obstacles are impeding our freedom and when those are clear we refer to that as freedom. Positive freedom is viewing freedom holistically without internal or external barriers.

I’ve just learned these terms and my summary may differ from those published, but I’m planning on reading more on the terms.

[2022] Sen. Mike Braun said interracial marriage ruling should be left to states by santa in c/politics@lemmy.world

Is this another “leave it to the states” dog whistle before a nationwide ban is on table?

Updated to latest OS. Pretty cool. Enjoying some good reading since I’ve been out of commission for a bit.

What are folks thoughts on putting in personal information in for device recovery?

I’ve typically just use my first letter of name and phone number for device name.

Does anyone do anything different? What information do you include?

Also, just realized that I did put a device PIN on it, so. It sure if any information would be helpful if I lost it and it were found

[Help] Library loan expired (sh.itjust.works)

I am reading ‘Prequel’ by Rachel Maddow. Great book. I came down with a terrible cold that has sidelined my ability to focus. Can’t read while not feeling well. Anyhow… I put myself back on ‘Libby waitlist’ for library loan.

In meanwhile, I figured it can’t returned if I put it into ‘Airplane-mode’; Is that right?

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND HAPPY ALMOST NEW YEAR!!!

Two books at once.. Have only attempted a couple of times, but more fun on a Kindle! (sh.itjust.works)

I find if I choose two radically different subjects, or genres, it is less challenging and doesn’t feel overwhelming. For instance, I was reading ‘The Republic’ by Plato and ‘The Nasty Bits’ by Anthony Bourdain last time.

Now I am reading ‘Prequel’ by Rachel Maddow (non-fiction) and ‘The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store’ by James McBride (fiction).

Are you a two-timer?

Started this book and am really enjoying it thus far. It is a great follow-up, or prequel, if you will, to her podcast ‘Ultra’. Fascinating story, and a warning…
