Also, the fact that those conspiracies were real severely eroded trust in institutions both government and corporate. For example, does anybody really believe the FBI stopped suppressing leftists in 1971? Hell no; they just started calling it something other than COINTELPRO that’s still classified.

Because the articles are written by capitalists for capitalists to manufacture consent for capitalism. Of fucking course they’re going to downplay or ignore the Free Software/non-profit aspect of it!

That’s how you get monetized spying enshittified email. Do you want monetized spying enshittified email?

There’s plenty wrong with credulous dipshits who give lying propagandists and conmen a platform.

Fun fact: it turns out that all those LEDs rely (in Windows at least) on a super-insecure driver written by a hobbyist who last updated it in the mid-2000s and has since disavowed it.

Seems like a good upgrade from my 30-year-old Ford Ranger, if it’s a 4x4. It’s got about the same features, LOL

Also zoning laws helping to destroy walkable “third places.”

What law is that? Did the UK just enshrine some sort of right to be transphobic or something?

I’m pretty sure biodegradable/compostable kitty litter is a thing. As for the floss, switch to a water pik, I guess?

the song “It’s raining men”.

What? You thought it was a gay positive song released in an era where that lifestyle was condesended upon for it’s negitive stigma in society?

How is “It’s Raining Men” “gay positive?” I mean, I get that it isn’t anti-gay or anything, and I get that gay guys might like it, but it’s sung by women and seems very hetero to me.

I feel like the $190 they want for the Pi 4/microSD version would’ve been a reasonable price for the Pi 5/NVME version.

These are people who absolutely lay down to go to sleep at night and fantasize about getting to bug out.

In other words, they correctly realize that society as it exists sucks, but are too deep into right-wing propaganda to consider that less drastic measures than a collapse (such as voting for socialist policies) could fix it.

I just upgraded my seven-year-old Ryzen 1700x/Vega 56 system to Ryzen 5700x3D/RX 9070 XT. It wasn’t because my old system was actually inadequate already, though. It was mainly because I have no idea how long the market is going to be fucked up from the tariffs and wanted to get the upgrade done before the shit hit the fan, just in case.

I hope you at least give him a hearty “fuck you” right after the ink dries at closing, though.

Look, I’m just saying, to be the “certified Most Fuckable Twink” being infinitely submissive isn’t enough; you’ve got to be attractive too. This asshole meets that first criterion, but absolutely fails on the second.

That guy certainly isn’t an “alpha male,” but calling him “fuckable” is going way too far.

You’ll have to start recycling and composting.

It’s always projection, LOL

You determine if the subject is a victim or the aggressor depending on what narrative you shilling at that time.

TIL that understanding context is “shilling for a narrative.” 🙄

You know what’s really “disingenuous post modern subjectivist bullshit?” Pretending that victims become aggressors just because they act in their own self-defense. And that’s what the “not all men” whiners in this thread are doing.

Never once did I do this. I’ve been saying, over and over, that everyone should be treated like a human. All I can do is be the change I want to see.

No, that’s not all you can do. Namely, you can quit pretending that the bad behavior of other men isn’t your problem if you don’t want to be lumped in with them.

You then just go on to blame men for everything. Men are the problem. Women being treated poorly, men’s fault. Men being treated poorly, men’s fault.

Yeah, that’s because it unironically is. Because in a male-dominated society men have the power and women don’t. What part of privilege and power dynamics do you not understand?

You are a toxic person. You are dishonest, putting words in my mouth. You are the reason why people don’t take feminism seriously. You’re more interested in bashing men than trying to solve anything.

You’re the toxic one here. You’re trying to DARVO the situation to make men the victims, but we’re just not.

I’m done. I’m not going to waste my time without someone who can’t have a conversation without sarcastic attacks and lying about my actions and stances. Get blocked troll.

LOL, you’re just whining because you can’t deal with having your privilege challenged.
