isn’t that one of those mask things fascists use?

STOP RESISTING!

if you were locked in a building with psychopaths building a nuclear bomb, are you certain you would be strong enough to stick around? especially since Terry from engineering shot himself five times in the back of the head last week.

Aren’t we on social media to, well, socialise?

then stop being a troll and be sociable.

Why should I let them control my language?

then why are you arguing so hard for this? if this doesn’t concern you, just, go away.

that’s why it’s important for that bilateral support.

people who haven’t experienced a need for support can’t understand the level of strength it takes to receive it.

in a friendship where you’re given everything, guilt builds, which festers into regret and animosity. sometimes that can happen on both sides. sometimes just the figment of it happening is enough to end a friendship.

if the friendship is important to you, find your strength and find a way to support your friend. sometimes it’s as easy as finding the strength to support yourself.

so he explored concepts of fascism, he didn’t satirize them.

yeah…that’s better.

pro-fascist.

my father was a big fan. he was always proud of his “German heritage”, if that says anything. growing up he attempted to instill in me the principles in the books. of course I was too smart for that and always questioned authority.

the benefit being I was inoculated against fascism at a young age.

I have no friends.

it’s mostly a personal choice, but also a lack of acceptable partners.

I rely on nobody. I lean on nobody. I share with nobody. not because I feel masculine doing it, but because I don’t feel the need to. I’ve been “alone” for decades at this point and anything else feels foreign.

should I find one or many friends, they would inevitably need me more than I them and that would be unfair to them and me. if I would befriend someone like me it negates the friendship entirely. the importance of a friendship being built on bilateral support is often undersold or ignored entirely.

Am I lonely? sometimes. Am I happy? rarely. Am I satisfied? satisfactorily. introducing a friend to my life would inevitably destabilize my balanced world where it was no longer within my control.

why tf are you fighting so hard against something that’s so trivial? don’t antifascists have more important battles to focus on than using the name “antifa”?

Look, I get it. it’s the principle that you feel like they’re winning if you abandon “antifa”. don’t you think that maybe you feel that way because that’s what they want you to feel?

instead of focusing on how they want you to be perceived, force them to recognize who you are. you are anti fascist and anyone who argues against that is clearly pro fascist.

the only way to flip the narrative they want is to turn their script upside down.

how’s that possible? every time I see a post about the US all the uk users are taking the piss out of Americans.

you’re telling me this fascistic rise isn’t just happening in the US?

they changed the narrative on the term.

antifa is a dog whistle now. call it something else.

the movie was satire. the book…not so much.

I’m surrounded by assholes.

it’s almost like regions that experienced decades of decline, malnourishment, and poor education are prime breeding grounds for nationalism.

you’ve got a friend in me plays

blizzard of 78.

so much snow entire families were begging to get out of their homes for it.

a VLAN is assigned to a specific port on the same subnet.

now I have to know which port is for that VLAN specifically.

now I have to segment my network to ensure I know which IPs are on that VLAN.

now I have to statically assign IPs.

now I need to replace my router and rebuild everything.

or I setup a separate network on a different subnet with firewall rules to ensure nothing can talk to anything outside of the private network and let dhcp do assignments.

hmmmm…which one is easier to maintain… I wonder…

VLANs literally exist because it would be too costly to run dedicated networking hardware in enterprise solutions. from a networking perspective in a selfhosting or small business environment VLANs are overkill and high maintenance.

I am increasingly of the opinion that all software developers and adjacent people are fucking scum unless proven otherwise.

as a dev I second this opinion.
