Yeah i guess I am. Coulda sworn they were based in Kazakhstan. If theyre in any Five Eyes country they should gtfo. Too much copyright crap here.

I remember reading it on the site but I cannot find it now. I know for a fact she is based in Kazakhstan. So says her wikipedia page.

AA’s based outta Kazakhstan though. Lotta good a lawsuit filed in Ohio’s gonna do. At most I could see American ISPs implementing a DNS-level block against the site.

I didn’t even know saving posts was an option. I dont think its available on kbin.

You’ll be fine. Just dont visit shady websites and do fall victim to phishing. The other comments in the thread are good advice too.

Also give this a read since you’re using Python. It could happen to you: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2022/08/10-malicious-python-packages-exposed-in-latest-repository-attack/

Idk. Guess its just experience here. I’ve posted rather controversial opinions about third parties in the States, never once been accused of being republican or whatever gambit. Even with that cop thing I saw lots of hexbear posts saying that kind of stuff but that’s normal for hexbear users.

It’s legit probably the instance. Maybe you’re posting on politics on bhalaj zone and im posting on politics on lemmy.ca. I just browse whatevers on the front page of Kbin which is a mishmash of stuff.

At least its better than Reddit which is just all astroturf and /r/politics who are either bots or so blind theyre not worth engaging with at all.

Go through my post history. I’ve had nothng but relaxed convos. No vitriol or outright hate. Then again, I’m on Kbin so maybe that kind of stuff doesnt reach here. I know of Hexbear’s insanity but ive only seen them a handful of times.

Yes yes and the upcoming american election will be the most important one of the generation. As it has been said last election and the one before that and the one before that and so on an so forth.

Except there isn’t anyone like that. Oh wait, there is. 3rd party. But then we’ll just be going in a circle again.

Exactly. It’s like a sport to them, though they take it even more seriously than sportsfan, replying to everything with a sense of urgency, like it’s just one step away from total anarchy.

I’ve been surprised by the political discussions here. Far more civil and not as vitriolic as Reddit’s political subs. Even with disagreements.

I can’t continue with this line of reasoning. You are the one whos equating voting third party with not voting and apathy. Nothing will change in the States. Never ever.

Yeah, I mean, even with what the dems/media did against him he did still lose. And he did do stupid stuff on the campaign, irelevant of whoever funded him. He had avenues to continue on and cause damage, such as accepting the green party nomination with Jill Stein (yes I know about the ‘possible’ russian connection there) but alas he just backed down.

I guess I’ll look into the russian disinfo with Bernie then. Far as I was previously aware there was just some screwy things with the Bernie bros but that was it. Don’t know much about his 2020 campaign but I didn’t really take that seriously anyways.

So what? The Russians support anything to sow discord. Just like Democrats supporting extremist Republican candidates to cause mayhem. It’s literally just a facet of American politics and vice versa (American government supporting radical candidates elsewhere). Bernie’s campaign was one of the most progressive the democrats had seen in forever. Even far more progressive than anyone in the squad.

Course these days the guy’s a joke but I don’t feel like going into his ‘fall from grace’.

Sure. Keep up the defeatism. It’s what those in power want. This is probably the only American thing I will never understand.

Yeah but what about the democrats using superdelegates and general fuckery to get Bernie out in 2016? I know they changed the superdelegate system at some point but still. Only time I’ve seen an outsider actually decimate and forcibly enter the party was Trump. And even then he still capitulated to general Republican beliefs.

Plus the current democrat primary is just a hippy, biden, someone nobody has heard of and Cenk who 99% will get disqualified since the dude wasn’t born in the US. I mean there’s a chance Manchin might run but he’s probably gonna go independent/No Labels.

Yep. People wanna act like votes are deserved. Votes are earned and if the party hasnt shown they earn them they dont get them. Full stop.

Yeah sure. Vote democrat. Nothings ever gonna change. Not now. Not ever.

Third party, unironically.

inb4 helping the other side/first-past/throwing votes/electoral college. Gotta show em this is what happens when they are ignored.

All I know is that this character sucked in Mugen. Worst Melty Blood character.

No way. Birds are stronger than you think. Woodpecker would demolish that thing.
