I imagine the bullet started out faster than the plane but, since it isn't actively propelled, it slowed down and the plane didn't. So less so that the plane was faster than the bullet and more that the plane was fast enough to catch up with the bullet before it fell to the ground. Edit: or just a totally made up tidbit, this is the internet after all

We don't use the word 'fascist' because we wish harm on anybody. We use it because words mean things.

The boy who cried wolf is a story where someone repeatedly makes incorrect warnings that the community acts on until they stop believing him. This is like the exact opposite. The left has repeatedly and accurately warned that a specific political movement is fascist and been ignored the entire time. The term was not "overused to the point of meaninglessness" people just dismissed the warning without thinking cause they didn't understand the word and couldn't be fucked to learn or listen

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi will not seek reelection
Reply in thread
Look, Trump and his fascist ghouls are obviously a bigger problems. But let's not pretend like politician such as Pelosi aren't the reason he was able to gain support. This country will never heal or improve as long as we allow the establishment DNC to continue as they have been

all you have to do is keep your eye on what’s about to happen
Doing stock trades in what you think is about to happen is fine. Doing so while you work in Congress regulating the industries that you are betting on is corruption.

Nah m8, I'm generally on board with asking people to read the manual, but these unexplained conventions are nonsense. Pages really should be explicit about notation being added to commands that aren't actually a part of them

Sure, but that is very far from obvious, and very few people who don't already have an understanding of this stuff are going to know to look there. When I search for how to do something on the internet I mostly find 2 kinds of sources: stuff that's way dumbed down (and usually out of date/incorrect) and stuff full of unexplained notation/abbreviations/arbitrary conventions without any links to resources that explain them.
I guess my issue with the man pages is mostly that they just don't try to be approachable to the not-so-tech-litterate folk who might be interested in Linux if we had resources that didn't assume all this foreknowledge.

Sorry, I meant it more in a poetic sense to mirror the original sentence. But that was obviously not communicated. My point is more that we should be pressuring DNC candidates to meet the low standards of voters, instead of telling voters that they should abandon their principles. The DNC will never be able to successfully confront the GOP without a positive vision of change and position of blue no matter who can't offer that

And if you voted Harris in the primaries you voted for Trump.
