on Inflation and DeSantis · c/usa · -31 pts · 3y

This is idiocy. DeSantis has no control over the borrowing and spending of federal funds which is the underlying cause of inflation in the general economy. The reason prices may be increasing more in FLA is that people are moving there in droves from Democratically controlled hellholes like California, New York, Illinois, NJ, etc. because DeSantis has made FLA a better place to live.

It's easy to see why DeSantis would be a better version of Trump. He has more personal integrity and he is less of a blowhard. He actually gets things done instead of just talking big.

You should be able to boot from an SD card, a USB drive, or a CD to try out Linux without actually installing it on your computer's hard drive.

Exactly right. Trump seems to have no core moral or philosophical or political values. He is a pure narcissist. Accordingly, in a second term he would likely be completely unrestrained. Of course, I believe these remarks are completely hypothetical. I am convinced that he has no reasonable prospect of being elected to a second term.

Your logic lesson for today:

The genetic fallacy is the act of rejecting or accepting an argument on the basis of its origin rather than its content. Under the genetic fallacy, we judge a claim by paying too much attention to its source or history, even though this criticism is irrelevant to the truth of the claim.

If you understand the genetic fallacy you should realize that calling the originator of the argument a name is insufficient to refute the argument.

I am a Protestant. My theology is Reformed. Since I believe in believer's baptism I guess my theology is closest to Reformed Baptist. I currently attend an independent Reformed church where the preference seems to be infant baptism but they seem to allow dissension on that point. I have never had a Reddit account but I came across posts recently about Reddit alternatives and thought that I would check them out. I also have an account on Kbin.
