    Well actually...

  • Honestly it still bothers me. We are told that generalizations and stereotypes are bad, but when they’re directed and white people or men, they’re okay.

    Listen, I’m not a #NotAllMen type or anything, but it is a frustrating double standard for those of us who’ve grown up knowing not to stereotype or generalize to then get stereotyped and generalized and be told we can’t complain about it.

  • Who cares that the guy who spent years calling his opponent “Sleepy Joe” fell asleep during an exciting basketball game?

    Well, unfortunately not his base. They’ll just pretend they never criticized Biden for being a sleepy old man.

  • I regularly tip around 30%, often above it, and I consider myself a pretty generous tipper. It’s absurd to act like 40% is standard.

    Sometimes receipts will show suggested tip amounts and those are usually 18%, 20%, and 22% or something like that. Maybe 25%.

  • Hey man, I’m not saying Nintendo shouldn’t fix the issue. I’m just saying there are options.

  • Literally yes, since Palestinians are a Semitic people.

  • For anyone who is stuck with stick drift and isn’t in the French government and thus can’t use this to get their JoyCons repaired, you can get TMR joysticks for Switch and Switch 2 JoyCons for like $20-$30. Like Hall effect but better!

  • Did he? What a joke if true.

    Edit: He did! Bahahaha Sleepy Don strikes again.

  • God damnit, Donut.

  • Say one thing for Logen Ninefingers, say he is getting old.

  • Such a fun book.

  • Until they realized it was a mistake?

    Let’s say someone moves to the UK from the US. They’ve figured out that you have to drive on the left side of the road instead of the right, but they didn’t know you can’t turn (left, not right) on a red light when there’s no traffic coming. So they do this several times.

    A cop sees them do this and pulls them over. He informs them that this is illegal, and decides to be gracious and say, “since it’s your first mistake, I’m not going to write you up.”

    Would you then pipe up from the back seat and say, “They actually turned on MANY red lights. They made this same mistake a lot of times!”

    If people are going to change for the better, encourage that change. Don’t belittle them for not changing faster. We want people to be better.

  • They will not ever naturally care about other people.

    I don’t know believe that. I don’t believe that empathy is some inherent trait that cannot be learned. People change, but momentum can be hard to overcome. They’ve just been handed an opportunity by having their momentum disrupted.

    They’ve been slapped personally enough to realize MAGA was terrible. They’re already talking about having been fed their opinions. That’s important, it means they’re now reflecting and thinking. Those are important steps.

  • We Americans have, unfortunately, a very individualist society. That sort of thinking prevents us from acting in the best interest of people who are not ourselves because we don’t see the immediate benefit to ourselves.

    It’s extremely shortsighted, foolish, selfish, and the exact opposite of the message the dominant religion in the nation preaches. But it’s hard to shake that kind of cultural thinking. That journey took me a while, and I started in a more “advantageous” position (in regard to this topic) than some because my parents instilled a deep sense of compassion and a desire for truth, even if they themselves are still stuck as single-issue pro-life republicans.

    Every individual who gets slapped out of their conservatism by personal consequences has a chance to end up breaking free and realizing how harmful myopic thought is, and I’m cheering for them even if they have a long way to go on their journey.

    What is the most important step? The next one. Always the next step.

  • Oh that’s great. The NSA has definitely shown it can be trusted with backdoors, after all.

    (Massive /s in case it wasn’t obvious.)

  • Do you want brain drain? Because this is how you get brain drain.

  • I wanted a cantilever setup so I could use it in bed or on a couch, so I didn’t bother with the Logitech offering. My typecase one is working fine but I haven’t had it for long. When it breaks, if I’m still liking it, I may go for the Apple version. Depends on how long I get out of it.

  • Man, what is even happening at Intel? Apple and AMD have made them look absolutely pathetic, not to mention their own processors grenading for fun.

  • Yeah but then look at how the knockoff Magic Keyboard cases, which provide nearly the same functionality (with the exception of pass through charging) cost less than a third of the price.

    It’s absolutely insane what Apple charges for that thing.
