Does Trump completely lack decency and compassion? Yes, absolutely... 😡

I think we differ in two areas on this. One is that I want only QUALIFIED candidates employed, not necessarily the MOST QUALIFIED. The final decision considers other things, such as years of experience, salary expectations, and, yes, DEI. The second is that it makes me a non-racist and a proponent of DEI.

@proton, After reading your response above, I saw a book on DEI that I thought you might like...

Just please note that no airplane collisions and crashes like this happened while Biden was president.

This happened to me also on one of my computers, a tower. It had Win11 Pro 22H2 (installed in 2022 and now out-of-service). I installed 24H2, and now everything is fine. I didn't have to pay any money, but the installation was a hassle. I now have to do the same thing on my other computer (laptop) that has 23H2.

That's certainly the attitude of right-wing fascists like Trump and his supporters. But it's also certainly not a "woke" attitude.

I certainly hope not.

It should be that we will do what we believe is right regardless of what others do. If others do wrong, we should punish them if we can, but we should not then do the same thing as they do.

No.

So, that means his disapproval rating would be 51%. I'm in that section.

Buying would be okay, but acquiring it through force or threat of force would not.

You've got to be KIDDING!!!! 😁

No joke. If we want to eliminate hackers, we must first eliminate our hackers. If we don't do that, we have no right to complain about some other country doing it to us.

Well, if we (USA) believe hacking our apps are wrong, then we shouldn't do it to any other country, and we should penalize those in the USA who do. And, as I've said before, we should penalize countries who hack (or allow hacking) of our apps.

Who is going to penalise them? They are ALL doing it. The USA should penalize hackers in the USA, and other countries should penalize hackers in their own countries. If a foreign government is found to be doing the hacking, they should be penalized by the country of the app they've hacked. An example of such a penalty would be limiting that country's access to your country's Internet activity.

Why do you hope that? They are constantly hacking and sabotaging each other. There's no real friendliness. Not ever. War is no longer only on the battlefield. I hope that because hacking into an app diminishes its ability to provide services to its users. Also, it's illegal. All such activity should be penalized.

Absurd! 😡

Lock him up! 😡

I hope this attack didn't come from the USA, and more than that, I hope if it did, that our government was not involved in it.

The aspect I like about your Profile photo is the US flag is flying upsidedown, which indicates a disaster. And I do agree Trump is a disaster for the USA...

I was trying to "Wake" you with my fortunate history.

I'm sure past changes in society to such "norms" as racism and misogyny have been viewed much as you describe above. There are a lot more than just "a few bi-sexual leftist liberals fresh from university with a worthless degree in liberal studies" that are "woke." I, for example, am a straight, heterosexual, White male who graduated from university over fifty years ago with a BA, BS-CSE, and MBA., and I have been "woke" and a far-leftist liberal for at least fifty years.

Good idea! I hope my home country, the USA, will soon consider something like this. Of course, "soon" will have to be sometime after the next four years.

The dog was a Siberian Husky, but the article doesn't go into detail about what type of chickens the dog killed. Is the type of dog who killed the chickens more important than the type of chickens he killed? I approve of the man's punishment for killing the Siberian Husky, but if he hadn't done that, I would also approve of punishing the Siberian Husky for killing (what kind of?) chickens.

The defendant, who identifies as transgender, was lying in wait in the Deadwater Valley nature area, the court heard. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c98yjp5nzglo @Bkk Brian: The reason I was asking this is the defendant is identified as "transgender," but as usual, what kind of transgender is not specified. I believe "transgender" refers to both those who are born male but identify as female (which is what most people assume "transgender" means, but it also can refer to those who are born female but identify as male. In my remarks above, I say the photo of this person looks to me like he was born a male. If that's so, and he's "transgender," that means he identifies as a woman. And that begs the question of why he would want to rape a young teenage girl? Wouldn't he then be more attracted to a young teenage boy? And if she was born a female and is "transgender," how could she "rape" a young teenage girl. I guess there are ways, but that's not what I assumed after reading the article. My point is actually that if someone is identified as "transgender," it should be more specific as to what type of transgender they are - boy to girl or girl boy. Also, I don't know how you would label them. A "male transgender" could be a male who identifies as a female or a female who identifies as a male. That's the same problem with "female transgender." I'd recommend "male transgender" or "transgender man" be the label for someone born male who identifies with being a female.
