You are defending that. Because the US military does those awful things and has done forever.

There is no US military that's a defensive force. It is a war crimes machine.

You might think you are defending the idea of a peaceful defense force in the US but that's never existed and probably will never exist. So we all read your posts as if they were talking about the US military that exists.

Are you racist? Or a bot yourself? I genuinely cannot tell.

It doesn't all hinge on this November. It hinges on all the moments where people do work to avoid fascism. Some of that happens at the polls. Some of that happens at home. Some of that happens online.

Feed people. Engage in mutual aid. Build communities. Prepare candidates. Grow networks. Then vote. Voting is the last and easiest part.

The democrats participate in this export strongly too. Biden shut down a really important union strike. They are less overt about it, but go watch Malcolm X talk about foxes and wolves.

Unlikely. Plenty of anti LGBTQ rhetoric is permissible here by mods, for example.

However, it often uses queer lingo - words that folks might think aren't notable, but queer folks will instantly recognize as an attack.

Refusing to call a gay man's husband a husband, but subsisting in friend or partner. Calling someone biologically male. Etc.

These get deployed quite subtly here, and because none of the words are slurs, they don't get moderated. (Though HN also permits overt slur usage -- search for the r-slur and you'll find plenty of cases.)

FDM printing is also extremely rewarding. And cheaper. And cleaner. PLA can be composted in some municipalities.

Max out your 3D printing with FDM, and only if you can't achieve your goals, get a resin printer.

You don't want a resin printer. They are nasty, chemically, they require you to set up a "hot zone", you need ppe, venting is really important. When your print works good, you still have to wash it and then cure it. Changing colors ids like a whole event.

FDM printers are amazing now. Strongly recommend an FDM printer.
