  • You are in no position to be dismissive of others when you are the person in the comic.

    I am in an excellent position to be dismissive of calls to violence. Violence is the way of barbarians. Non-violent resistance is a progression in human civilization. Violence is a regression. Anger and hate are a poison that must be turned into compassion.

  • Remind me how that King thing turned out, again?

    Civil Rights Act of 1964. Voting Rights Act of 1965. Fair Housing Act of 1968. End of Jim Crow. Nyota Uhura getting a job on the bridge of the Enterprise.

    “You can’t negotiate with a tiger when your head is in it’s mouth.” -Winston Churchill on Appeasement Strategey

    "Now you listen to me. While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is that I am a naysayer and hatchetman in the fight against violence. I pride myself in taking a punch and I'll gladly take another because I choose to live my life in the company of Gandhi and King. My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method... is love. I love you Sheriff Truman."

  • I guess they don't teach you kids about Gandhi and King anymore. Or more likely you skipped school that day.

  • We're all responsible. I'm sure a lot of Romans used this argument when their slaves came after them during the Servile Wars. And it probably didn't go well.

  • If you're struggling with depression, you need to see a doctor. To go with the metaphor in the meme, the average person isn't trained to save a drowning person, who can also end up drowning anyone who tries to save them. Lifeguards are trained to save drowning people.

  • It did ask to be connected to WiFi, but stopped after being told no a few times.

    That's still fucking awful.

  • French lawmakers approve a sweeping social media ban for children under 15

    Jump

  • I'm perfectly fine with this if it doesn't involve destroying the Internet in general like OSA, but I don't have high hopes. These laws aren't about the kids at all. We've had parental control software for decades, but instead of utilizing that kind of tech, improving upon it and targeting children, governments target adults and demand they fork over their biometric data and IDs.

  • If only my neighbors were this strict with their kids. It's like Lord of the Flies where I live. Hell, the parents are often yelling louder than the kids.

  • That's the key to human interaction in general online or offline. Don't argue with people, communicate with them.

  • There is a perfect answer. Don't watch movies with shitty sound mixing.

    I used to mix audio for my garage band's albums in the 2000s. It's not that hard to get effective dynamic range without setting the quiet parts to barely audible and the loud parts to red lining the db meter. It's obnoxious.

    If I ever meet the guy who mixed Malignant, I'm going to "accidentally" spill my coffee onto to his mixing station. I couldn't watch past the first scene. The mix was downright mean. That movie still pisses me off.

  • Does anyone make dumb TVs anymore? Seems like there's a sizable market for it. I haven't had a TV in 6 years and want one for local channels, but I really don't want a smart TV.
