  • It's a fine line - getting tired of having to meet people where they are when they're standing in the shit.

    Good on you for having the energy to keep it up.

  • Let.me know which bit I got wrong such that I should enhance my chill.

  • Oh, you means liberals did something instead of nothing, and then it wasn't perfect, so conservatives absolutely lost their goddamn minds, only to realize hey maybe we should do something, now let's address the things the liberals wanted to address in the FIRST FUCKING PLACE?

    Is that what you mean?

  • Just saying, in this thread about Linux adoption, that for every case of nitpicky issue like this I think it worth mentioning that I have had fewer issues than I had under windows.

    Edit to try to be clearer: I usually don't comment in these threads, but I am worried that these threads then only end up with people in your situation while people like me stay quiet, giving the incorrect impression that all people will have issues.

  • I have an all AMD rig and no issues. 🤷‍♂️

  • No, thanks. My Linux setup has been fine for everything for a while now.

    Edit: leaving this comment just to balance yours, not to say you are wrong. Linux is better than windows, hands down, if you are in the segment like me that doesn't play any PvP games that need anti cheat. (Client-side anti-cheat is harmful, BTW.)

  • Getting tired of these dumbass stories.

    Useless shit until and unless the foolish people who believed him completely wake up. How likely does that seem given their penchant for wishing everything away while mainlining Fox?

  • Fuck the DNC

  • Volatility! A recipe for a booming economy!

  • lemme know when you come up

  • You wanna know why no one does anything? Because people post shit like this about how we are fucked and then go about their day feeling like they did something.

  • A core childhood memory is seeing this episode for the first time (as a rerun in the 80s) on our 13" black and white that sat on the fridge so my dad could watch Trek at dinner.

    My mom had made pizza that night.

    This meme hits me very deep. 🤝

  • You refuse to address the "arbitrary" and "dire consequences" parts of my arguments by pointing at hypothetical religions. I will not respond to that.

    To teach someone that they must follow arbitrary rules with dire consequences for failure is unethical.

    You can decide what that means for religions.

  • All major world religions with many followers have arbitrary rules and dire spirital, and often physical, consequences for breaking them.

    I am not here to argue specifics on religions.

    I don't think I could be more clear about why I believe teaching anyone religion as fact is unethical.

  • Teaching anyone that they must be judged by arbitrary, unprovable rules or face dire consequences is unethical.

  • You are like a younger me who refused to see the 10,000 year history of abuse and realize that any system based on "because I told you so" us unethical and harmful to human life.

  • It is also important to remember that religions are human organizational structures, but their basis of authority is "because I said so." We see this structure arise over and over until it is eventually removed for something more based in reality.

  • The history books are full of religions' heinous crimes against humanity. Maybe there is some religion out there that is purely benevolent but I have never heard of it in the sea of counterexamples.

    If you are currently trapped in a religion, I am here to tell you that you can escape. Once you do, a lot becomes much more clear.
