these where the first versions of empire that existed on this world and full of equal parts flaws and dumb luck as a result

the modern hybrid euro-colonial versions also have flaws and luck on their side, but, more importantly, they learn and adapt from each other and, as a result, have a pattern that we can now identify.

You’re mistaken; the United States has no leftist parties.

I wonder if the British of the early 19th century predicted that this is how it would turn out when they decided not to press their advantage after the war of 1812 in favor of detente w the young United States

dunno; the aged induced bone spurs and arthritis sometimes makes me want to welcome annihilation. lol

– assuming they’re paying attention at all

it would be shorter if you list the atrocities they DIDN’T commit

doesn’t the picard maneuver involve light speed trickery and a ferengi ship? lol

It isn’t a short read

I’m convinced that this is why Americans don’t know

i want to imagine that it came from a world too innocent to believe that drones would become so ubiquitous in warfare. lol

don’t know; that’s why i asked

Does dronies define liberals only or is it anyone center-right?

It depends on the amount of melanin in their skin; Ashkenazi Jews are close enough to white for it to become white-on-white violence

the only surprise is learning that people still didn’t already know.

lemmy is not even a blip on anyone’s radar and huge majority of its users still primarily use reddit and twitter.

i love this and i’m stealing it. lol

it reached an absurd level in austin texas well before trump became a thing; they show up to gay bars to entrap men into breaking the law with the intention of citing enough legal violations to justify shutting down the bar permanently. it’s so bad that the bars have responded by hiring off duty police because they have a chance of recognizing officers in plainclothes.

i’ve seen 2 such examples: one on solar and another using piezoelectrics along with the wind

i’ve never heard of this guy; do you know where i can find his work?

– thus making the escape so much better when it happens. lol

these goals are achievable without proxmox, but there’s nothing wrong with using it; however it will give you a much steeper learning curve if you’ve never managed KVM/QEMU based virtual machines or software defined networking before.

why proxmox? how do you intend to use mx linux, casa os, and windows? do you intend to use multi-booting with proxmox or using the each os as a proxmox virtual machine?
