I think that Peanut The Squirrel may very well be the thing that costs the Democratic Party their entire claim on being "the party of human decency".

So many of the democrat influencers are saying "but the law said it was ok to kill the squirrel". This is honestly the most terrible reply possible.

Their whole party identity is based around the idea that they would NOT kill your squirrel, even if it's illegal to have it, because they believe in being decent and reasonable human beings.

The "rules are rules" perspective is a religious-authoritarian vision which is an abbreviated way to say "by all following the rules, we all win, so we need you to follow them too". Democrats are NOT this, their illegal immigration perspective leans decidedly on "human decency".

Their problem though is that illegal immigration could have another explanation, perhaps it's not human decency that motivates them. The right claims that they're importing the 3rd world as a plot to destroy the country, they reply to this with "how could you" and so on.

But their killing of Peanut, or more precisely, their unwillingness to distance themselves from it, calls into question whether they ever actually cared about anyone.

To lose the human decency claim is so devastating. They don't have military strength, they don't have fiscal conservatism, they don't have law and order, and they don't have individual liberty - except in narrow cases like abortion. They gave up anti-war 5 or so years ago, and now even their grip on science and progress is tenuous, with the guy whose Actually Launching Rockets now denouncing them.

Without Human Decency, the democratic party stands for nothing. It's the empty shell of a party that relies on social pressure to bully people into saying they're going to vote for them.

But the whole "nobody has to know who you voted for" thing cuts both ways.

communism and socialism like all collectivist systems only work because their proponents are ruthless, care for their own wellbeing only and are willing to use violence to further their own wellbeing regardless of others.

@mr_penguin i have no idea on which side of the blocklists freetalklive is, but there are plenty of real people in the part where free speech is an ideal :)

What I will tell you now is very weird. So, as you know, sugar is a type of a drug, and also I’m “addicted” to sugar. My favorite “addiction” of sugar is dates; so I love dates. And yesterday I händ an overexcess of dates. There was already a time when I ate so many dates, that I didn’t like myself and I threw them in the trash. And in the night, I got them, from the trash out, and kept on eating them. Now, what I did, to, prevent that, I took dog shit, and mixed it with the dates. Here. But even then, (here are the dates) but even here, I gäve myself the opschen, that they are still wrapped in the package right here, and I could still technically eat them. Because they didn’t touch it. So that’s–even if you’re not addicted to, drugs, the classic “drugs”, watch out with other possible addictions, guyyys! I love you. But, I think I can handle them, not eating them today. At least this version. Alright.

Project Scope for Mumble Sticker Feature

Project Overview

This project aims to enhance the Mumble VoIP application by adding a feature that allows admins to assign "stickers" (small PNG images) to users who are connected. These stickers will be visible to all users.

Objectives

Enable a new feature for Mumble that allows admins or privileged users to assign and manage stickers.

Stickers should appear as small images next to usernames.

Maintain compatibility between forked and non-forked clients and servers, ensuring all users can connect regardless of client version.

Deliverables

A modified Mumble client and Murmur server supporting the sticker feature.

Compatibility with non-forked clients and servers must be preserved.

Documentation to guide admins on migrating their servers to and from the fork.

Codebase that is easy to maintain with mainline, allowing for regular updates and security patches from the original repositories.

Functional Requirements

An updated administrative interface for managing stickers, including options to name and upload images.

No permissions are associated with stickers other than the ability for admins or privileged users to apply or modify them.

Use existing Mumble library support for rendering images, with sticker dimensions optimized for visibility.

Leverage Mumble’s existing permission system to restrict sticker application and management to designated users.

Non-Functional Requirements

Performance should be unaffected by the sticker feature, with any noticeable impact considered unacceptable.

Stickers must display correctly on small interfaces without compromising loading times or interface responsiveness.

Project Timeline

Planning (approximately 1 month): Handled by the project owner.

Development: Expected to be quick, especially for client modifications.

Testing: Managed by the project owner, with a focus on compatibility across Windows, Linux, and potentially BSD.

Documentation: Straightforward, detailing migration steps and sticker feature usage.

Stakeholders

The project owner is the sole stakeholder. A public beta release is planned to gather community feedback as needed.

Assumptions

The Mumble/Murmur codebase will support these new features without requiring major architectural changes.

Current image-rendering capabilities in Mumble will be sufficient for displaying small PNG stickers.

Testing environments for Windows, Linux, and BSD are available and accessible for compatibility verification.

Constraints

All code must be licensed under GPLv3 (or later), ensuring this is a fully libre software project.

No vulnerabilities should be introduced, and as the code is open source, it can be audited by the community for any issues.

Risks

OS-specific installer compatibility might be challenging, especially if Mumble binaries vary across systems. Testing will be required to ensure a smooth installation experience on Windows, Linux, and possibly BSD.

If a non-forked client connects to the forked server, they may see a message like "non-compatible emoji server" but still connect successfully without displaying stickers.

Out of Scope

No user permissions are associated with stickers beyond the ability for admins or privileged users to apply or manage them.

A soundboard feature tied to sticker usage is out of scope for now, but it may be added later after core functionality is established.

@special-boy ok, neighbourhood shop does count ;) i meant the big chain pcs. those are always shit for gaming. they have to cut corners and it always are the wrong ones like RAM. much RAM always makes things faster.

i think the first pc i built was an athlon with 800mhz in a big tower. one of the things i regret throwing out :(

@special-boy i never got the pre-built gamer pcs. half the fun is building it from select components :)

@Shadowman311 Ayahuasca stays in your system a fairly long time compared to other psychedelics ("""entheogens"""), but nowhere near 40 days.

What likely happened to his dumb cunt is she was already on an anti-depressant (probably multiple) that stopped her brain from processing chemicals immediately and making them stick around in the brain (MAO inhibitors), then she took an incredibly powerful drug which flooded her brain with those same chemicals which were forced to stick around and her entire shit got scrambled.

She probably got serotonin toxicity syndrome and triggered a latent schizophrenic tendency. She bought a ticket, took the ride and paid the price. With any luck the silicon valley 'micro-dosing' to ayahuasca retreat pipeline will continue and SV will collapse under it's own retarded weight.
