  • It’s ruined in the short term for sure. It’s a reflecting pool, not a swimming pool. It’s supposed to be dark, not light blue.

    It’s my understanding it is fed with water from the Potomac, so there is no way to keep it blue, there are no filtration systems in place that they can add chlorine to. So the pool will end up turning black again, it will just look patchy and ugly.

    It’s so on the nose for this asshole who is unable to engage in self reflection at all to ruin the reflection pool because he doesn’t understand what it’s for and thinks, “pools need to be blue!”.






  • Let’s say you’re right and he knew what kind of tat he was getting.

    Oftentimes those who realize how wrong they were end up being the best advocates for positive change. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Byrd#Political_views

    Senator Robert Byrd was a man who was a member of the KKK and ended up being 100% in line with the NAACP and a strong advocate for civil rights. He didn’t get a tattoo he didn’t understand, he actually tried to block civil rights legislation, realized later how fucked up that was and busted his ass to change things for the better.

    People like Byrd are an example to others who may be questioning their racist ideas. Creating an atmosphere where embracing bad ideas in your early twenties is an unrecoverable and unpardonable sin would result in most people never being able to move forward. Do we really want to lock people into their sophomoric notions? Or do we want to embrace and reward positive change?

    Considering how prevalent MAGA is in the US. I want all of those people to grow out of this bullshit, because we’re going to need them to help repair the damage they caused. And that can’t happen if we never forgive their past transgressions even when they change and seek forgiveness.





  • Thanks for this! I included degoog in my arr stack and it works great! I was surprised by the language support when I pointed my gluetun container to an an Italian exit node. But it’s very well documented and the language environment variable was easy to set. Nice!

    Getting this working within minutes of reading this post felt like opening an unexpected present. I love it.
