My immediate reaction before opening the link: “No.”

Yet I somehow got 96.6% twice.

Visually, I certainly wouldn’t call them 3.4% away from perfect. I’m guessing there’s some allowance for imperfection even at 100%.

On a large enough clock, the hour hand could have easily visible marks for not just minutes, but also seconds. If I were an architect or whatever I would try to make that the floor of a lobby or something.

What is this, a magnification for ants?

I’m surprised it’s not by Eiffel.

Yup. Kids are jumpy alright. I expect to see a lot more of them this evening.

I think a good author makes it explicit.

Here’s a sci-fi web novel I read years ago, where a couple of the characters end up being immortal in different ways, and in one case they show exactly how far that can go (in the context of the story) even without invoking heat death.

Yeah, This case especially since it includes XWayland

So all hope is lost and we should just give up and let the full direct fascist win. Got it.

I agree. Genocide is the worst crime in the world.

Which is why I voted for Kamala Harris, to help keep Donald Trump from winning.

Do you disagree with my choice? If so, how would you vote in the US presidential election of 2024 to minimize the genocide in Gaza?

telling me that you actually really believe it would mean you have basically no grasp on reality. You can’t tell the difference between your imagination and what’s real, allegedly.

I could very well be wrong about you, but I was led there by the evidence of your comments. Don’t want to be thought of as a shill, then don’t act like one.

[Responses to links]

It is like this is your first time learning about journalism and PR.

Eh. I don’t usually involve myself with threads like this, so I am indeed much less experienced arguing them and finding good sources. It’s certainly not my job. Anyway, this was in response to you saying that the Palestinians ‘generally’ disregard Biden/Harris, I think that is still questionable. And even if the majority do, way over half the US is failing to vote for their own interests (because non-voting counts) so that unfortunately would not be too surprising.

Ahahahahahaha

Nice comeback.

Hard to say.

Then by definition I am not a shill.

You think my inability to know what you Really believe (as opposed to what you write) makes you not a shill? Sorry, I’m not able to follow that logic.

I work against the genocide and have for over a year, doing organizing work. Folks like yourself have been excysing and normalizing genocide because your team is doing it.

My team is not great on this count, but the other team (and yes there are only two this election) is so much worse that’s it’s not even funny.

Trying to convince people to not vote for the only candidate that has a very slight chance of not supporting Israel as much really bothers me. It’s not ideal, but there is no better example I’ve seen of the perfect being the enemy of the good.

Begone, liar for genocide.

Same.

To be lies or even bad faith, I’d have to not actually believe what I wrote. And I very much believe what I wrote.

The Palestinian diaspira [sic], generally speaking, rejects Biden and Harris.

Do they now? (A small sample. Some of those are about the ones still in Gaza, but I don’t think that detracts from the point.)

However, you have not answered my questions.

Fine. Here are your questions and my genuine answers.

What am I shilling for?

I think you are likely a shill for Donald Trump. I don’t assume it’s directly, as in I don’t assume you are being paid by the GOP or a super PAC, but wouldn’t be surprised if someone was paying you.

What are my real opinions?

Hard to say. At best (unlikely) I think you have been very strongly misled into thinking that’s somehow what’s best for the country, or even the world. Otherwise I think you know fully what you are doing and the damage it may cause and you are fine with that. This is what I believe based on the comments I’ve seen from you.

What are the fake ones I’m presenting?

That you care about the genocide. I think you are using it as a wedge to try to divide and mute the Democrat vote.

Now you are downplaying the magnitude of genocide.

Not at all. That was the first thing I addressed: if Harris loses it will be so much worse in Gaza and elsewhere.

Obviously a huge genocide isn’t enough for you - you clearly want Every Palestinian to be killed or imprisoned when Trump is elected. And not just the ones in Gaza, if I were a Palestinian in the US, I’d be terrified of that madman winning, and I’d do everything I could to support Harris like my life depended on it (because it very well might)

More generally you are trying to convince us that the genocide is the only important issue in the world, and that it’s somehow worth not supporting someone who is in all ways (not just all other) the far better of the two electable candidates.

It’s in the spirit of the question, with ‘Nobody’ being the implied direct answer. Just saying my pleasure (musically) is not guilty or secret.

Link please? Looks more informative than the one in another comment

So, what was the solution?

I will gladly tell them how much I like Weird Al.

But it is more difficult - by definition, anyone can just fork what you are selling and sell it themselves cheaper or free. Of course there is value in customer service, maintenance, hosting, etc. and those can be sold, but the actual code is tougher. Some projects bypass it by having proprietary add-ons or versions, since the open part itself is hard to monetize.
