My Lenovo Thinkpad just broke… again.
Daym, I though those things are tanks. Which model?
I used it for a while with an m2 macbook perhaps half a year ago, but ended up getting a PC so I wouldn’t have to deal with so much jank.
That just means that buying it spreads the money to slightly more people. They’re practically just as easy to acquire.
Also known as free market capitalism 100% working as it should.
Good guy Steam.
I don’t want to pretend that this (this being how and why people think the way they think about trans rights et al) is a simple issue, which is why what I say on two different comments might be slightly incongruent. I think I was mostly answering your specific question in my second comment without so much trying to address or bolster my first comment.
Are you saying most people are anti-trans?
No, I think it’s more nuanced than just black-or-white allies and anti-trans people. The level of pro- or anti-transness within individuals falls on a spectrum that’s shaped like a bell curve, and the majority in the middle are usually amenable to trans rights if they bump into the issue in a way that resonates with them. Like for instance in their personal life with friends or family.
But less amenable if they mostly face the issue on TV, social media or via angry activists. You might then recognize these people as anti-trans, especially if the issue is deeply personal to you.
And that people who aren’t anti-trans are somehow not of sane mind?
No, that’s not what I was trying to say. In fact, I’d say that genuinely anti-trans people (the other end of the bell curve) are the insane ones. Socio- and/or psychopathic. My claim (possibly a bit extraordinary claim in this day and age) is that most people are not at that end.
Most people agree with the ultrarich on this issue (at least initially, before social media insanity), but only the ultrarich can afford making arbitrary people hate them without any good reason. That’s why it looks like only the billionaires are doing it.
Then they go to Twitter with these opinions and go insane and the whole thing enters a neverending tailspin.
Elon is slightly different insofar that one of his own kids is trans. So that’s not entirely due to Twitter, but there’s also some lived experience at the bottom of it all (I assume here that he spent time with said child).
I’d kinda like to get a VW, but jeez they are boring as cars. Boring is sometimes good in traffic of course, but a difficult thing when trying to make up your mind at the dealership.
People with hammer and sickle in the name never fail to give out impartial takes.
Right. So I guess if you hate nazis, you hate socialists.
Ukraine is a candidate country, by the way. Since June 2022.

You lessen crime by eliminating poverty. That part is correct. The other parts of this meme are more like incidental details what could happen when a society is richer, not the cause.

I seem to have struck a nerve. I wonder why this bothers you so much?
Well first of all, xkcd.com/386. And also: because I don’t like fascism or promoting the spread of fascism.
Obviously that’s not the image they present to population of the regions they take. But you knew what I was claiming they are incompetent at.
There’s a saying that reading history may help prevent repeating the mistakes of history. You should try some of that.
To reiterate: the reason to be anti-fascist has absolutely nothing to do with how good they are at doing things and I don’t see any good reasons to hide this fact.
The actual “easy” part is that you can sue anyone for pretty much anything. Suing is entirely different from winning the case.
Why they think they have a chance of winning is the weirder question, especially when Musk publically told the advertisers to go fuck themselves.
Linus is my favourite centrist <3
