The difference is that the Americans rolled out a red carpet for the Nazis and offered employment contracts. The Soviets showed up one night and kidnapped nearly 7000 nazis at gunpoint, and then forced them to work to pay reparations. Based.

The Secret War episode was so good. The way they used red light was excellent.

When we go to unprovable predictions about the future so that the your argument cannot be refuted, the debate ends right there. I don’t play what if.

Thats... called a hypothetical. Hypotheticals allow you to do thought experiments - which are not some conniving, underhanded, or fallacious way of arguing.

If, hypothetically, in 30 years, your choice is between a democrat who wants 10 genocides and a replublican who wants 11, will you still be militantly democrat?

I have no problem voting for whoever is the better candidate of the two- regardless of whether or not they align with my policies ideology

You do realize the error with this utility calculation, right? A few more years of this style of "pragmatic liberal utilitarianism" will have you voting for a Dem who wants 9 genocides over a republican who wants 10. You'll find yourself voting for 2036 Dem candidate Ted Cruz as he runs against the republicans' candidate of Mecha Hitler.

This strategy isn't sustainable, and what you've shown is that there is no number of Palestinian children you wouldnt sacrifice to bide time for your crumbling oligarchy. At some point, we have a moral duty to the victims of our imperialism to simply dismantle our genocidal country.

Just tried that in 2016. Debbie Schultz and Hillary decided to quell Bernie fervor, elevated Trump, and secured years of Trump and a fascist devolution. Utterly embarrassing. The Democratic party is not going to stop fascism.

Do you think Hitler was evil?

Yeah the science is above my head but I believe usually after they rip out the nail (be it whole nail or a strip), they will apply a cotton ball of phenol to the bed and that is supposed to stop the nail from coming back. It failed to do so 3 times in my case, albeit on two different toes.

Fair, edited to bring the final choice back to podiatrist.

"Conflict", "everlasting war", "dumbshit religious conflict"....

Bruh.... just say genocide if you aren't a genocide denier. You dont deny there is a genocide in Palestine, do you? No? Then stop the disingenuous casting of it as a normal, symmetrical war.

Leftists who refused to vote for Kamala did not do so because of "conflict". Leftists who chose not to vote for Kamala did so because of genocide. Stop whitewashing. Engage honestly with the actual leftist position instead of your strawman.

 

On my truenas scale machine, I have a container for gluetun and one for qbittorrent (among others). Maybe a couple times a week, I notice that the VPN connection gets flakey. Qbittorrent speeds go down into the kb/s range. This promps me to carry out an annoying, manual process:

  1. I pause all torrents in qbittorrent webui
  2. I stop both the qbit and gluetun containers
  3. I start the gluetun container
  4. I give the gluetun container adequate time to connect (since the qbit container depends on the gluetun network, attempting to start both at the same time yields an error on the qbit side)
  5. I start the qbit container
  6. I resume all torrents in the qbittorrent webui

Is there any easy way to automate this process? Preferably one that doesn't require me to learn ansible? I'm hoping the solution could all be done via portainer - which I use.

Thank you in advance.
