They are related (in practice) but I disagree that they’re one “and” the same. Freedom from domination can exist in the left or the right.
Demonizing the views that you don’t hold as inherently opposed to freedom is how the US got to this point in this awful no spectrum of views two party system in the first place.
(By the way, just noticed your username. How’re’ya’now bud?)
I didn’t say that you did?
I respectfully disagree that “the left is concerned with freedom from domination” is “undeniably true”. I think there’s a lot of room for debate here that you’re frankly not interested in.
I agree. In my opinion there are two huge dominating factors.
First is the almost ubiquitous winner-takes-all election structure in the US, leading to the two party system. There is, bar none, no fair competition in US government at a level high enough to matter.
Second, the lack of term limits allows certain people in certain positions to perpetuate momentum. In part this happens by hand picking successors through brute-force out funding the competition (in part due to the economic disparity that others in this thread have mentioned).
I think there’s value in what you’re calling attention to.
“Freedom” vs “domination” though has nothing to do with the left or right of a government (in theory). You’re actually referring to libertarianism vs authoritarianism, which is (again, in theory) independent from economic structure.
If you don’t have a source then you’re about as scientific as a TN politician (apparently)

Cool! Thanks for finding that article. I keep hearing good things about Burlington but wouldn’t know from experience. My understanding is the rest of the state is pretty rural but at least somewhat affordable and small business friendly.
Didn’t Vermont outlaw billboards?
This is a bit of a Pokemon starter question. Just pick one and see where it takes you! They do roughly the same job, especially now that docker has a rootless mode. At the end of the day you’re learning a new technology and that’s a positive thing.

You can still do that if you really want to
No doubt, you make some great points.
I agree that finding steel frames with magically unscratchable lenses probably aren’t realistic :) I also agree that treating a pair well is the best bet at making them last. The pair that I just broke was my first time splurging on a nice pair of sunglasses and being intentional about treating them well. They lasted me for over two years and I was very happy with them!
The more I see promises like Waterhaul though, I wonder if their Osprey-style guarantee would be nice to have. They have a lifetime guarantee on replacing their frames (probably banking on most people losing theirs rather than breaking them) on top of using recycled materials. Obviously this would not include replacing lenses. Seems like it’s at least half way to being a good route?
Thanks for weighing in! I loved my Ray-Bans until they snapped in half at the nose in my travel bag. Might still try to glue them back together, but tbd.
Thanks for the tip! I don’t have a membership but I’ll definitely consider it.
If anything AMD (for ML) is the hardware “I use [x] btw” (as in I go through unnecessary pain for purism or to one up my own superiority complex)
This shit feels like I’m back on Reddit. Fucks sake
No experience living in SLC long term but I’ve heard enough to trust your judgement.
That being said there are plenty of awe-inspiring places in the state, especially down south, that are pretty peaceful. The trouble there is the lack of consistent economic opportunity and overrun of tourism. Also unfortunate that those spots are typically half a day’s drive or more from commercial airports.
Maybe they were inspired by Boeing to skip the QA checkups on some of those systems 😉
