Fair. I think you can understand them as a group still, similarly to how you can see anonymous as a group.

I don't think I'm educated enough to say anything against the group as a whole, as I haven't sat down to do a lot of research on them (I'm realizing now that my comment was made from a BS bias that I had picked up from when I was a conservative).

however I don't think the logic of the source meme on it's own shows someone as fascist just because they oppose the antifa orginization.

This seems like what about-ism to the original topic. Regardless, this is a U.S. base that was established during the war on terror.

"U.S. troops returned to Iraq in 2014 after entirely withdrawing in 2011. They returned at the invitation of the Iraqi government, which was struggling to fend off a devastating Islamic State takeover of one-third of the country. The following year, the U.S. deployed troops to Syria to help the nascent SDF defeat the same group." [1]

Although the base was still actively being used by U.S. forces, we were working on removing U.S. troops.

"Another report on Wednesday by Reuters revealed that the U.S. and Iraq will begin talks on ending the American-led coalition troop presence in that country, conveying the message in a letter to Iraq’s foreign minister. The report noted these talks will likely last several months, with a potential U.S. withdrawal far from imminent." [2]. Look at [3] for Reuters article.

Outside of what Biden wanted to do, congress has already implied that they wanted those troops to stay there [4]. Even if Biden ignored the fact that a law requiring this much was struck down by congress (I don't know if he even could), he would be destroying his reputation with law makers and could be risking his public reputation.

The main purpose of the base was to combat Islamic extremists who were operating outside of Syria. We can debate if the war on terror was a good idea, however it was already previous U.S. doctrine. The big thing to remember, is that there was an ongoing effort to remove the base.

You can shit talk the people who put that base there, but I don't think it's fair to say "Biden is not looking after his own people" just because he didn't create some lunatic order to withdraw on short notice like what trump repeatedly did during his presidency.

Probably... I mean nothing stops you now. Assuming it's somewhat in the same field.

I know a guy who left retirement because he felt purposeless. The reason we likely hate work is because we have to do it.

If I knew I didn't have to worry about money, I would consider focusing on my tech career as it's something to do rather than worrying about how to keep a job. Maybe focus on charity maybe.

Definitely keep saving for retirement, last thing you need is to HAVE TO WORK for the rest of your life.

This was my issue. I had to reboot my machine and now Podman is working properly.

I installed podman using apt. It should come with the neccisary packages correct?

Podman Issues (pawb.social)
 

I'm currently trying to run distrobox with podman. I'm getting the following error: Resolved "debian" as an alias (/etc/containers/registries.conf.d/shortnames.conf) Trying to pull docker.io/library/debian:12... Getting image source signatures Copying blob 1b13d4e1a46e done

Does anyone know what should be my next steps to resolve this issue?
