oh absolutely. I have the power of god and anime on my side.

sounds like a domestic terrorist group, just the kind of thing that the fbi is supposed to put a stop to.

it’s unhinged because of the implication of violence against a specific group of people identified by their political beliefs. And wouldn’t you know it, it’s that same group of people who are opposing all of the solutions I proposed in my previous comment.

i have on occasion been accused of being a communist. Usually when I point out that people deserve rights.

Am i wrong though?

also fire every single cop in the country and replace them all with people who actually believe that they’re supposed to protect and serve.

My opinions about guns have changed over the years. I used to be of the opinion that nobody should have guns in this day and age, what’s the point aside from ego boosting and sport.

Then a cheeto puff did a treason on jan6.

I’ll give up my guns only after the fascists give up theirs. Non negotiable.

You want to “prevent tragedies”? fund programs for welfare and healthcare. Tax the rich. Break up megacorps like google, albertsons, nestle. Enact and enforce employee protections. Raise the minimum wage. Ban airbnb and heavily tax empty residences. Universal basic income! Did I mention fixing the healthcare system? More that I’m forgetting to list.

Miserable parents make miserable kids, and miserable kids lash out. For the wealthiest and most powerful nation on the planet, this shouldn’t be hard to figure out.

Launchers also generally act as advertisements for the publisher’s other games.

You wouldn’t put a hitch on a moped

My dude, I put a hitch on a scooter. My little trailer kicks ass. Well, it did before it was stolen, but that’s besides the point.

yeah, but it’s funny tho

THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING IN MY BRAIN! I JUST GOT HERE!

why don’t people use krita? Gimp may be the most famous photoshop alternative, but I almost never hear anyone talk about others that may potentially be better.

Thanks bro

Dynamic Range Compression. VLC player has it, possibly under a different name though. Set it up on my theater pc, and I almost don’t need subtitles anymore.

It took me years to get my win10 install to a point that I was somewhat happy with it. I’ve lost track of how many registry edits i’ve had to do just to disable a feature I didn’t want, or enable a feature microsoft wanted to take away from me. The numerous utilities I’ve had to download just to have functionality that was built into windows back in 7 or xp. I literally don’t remember all the things I’ve had to do, and I refuse to do it again. Now microsoft wants to take away the entire operating system? No.

I just installed linux yesterday. It is a royal pain in my ass, as several design choices are just different from what I’m used to (middle click is paste? what the hell?). However, there’s no ads in the start menu. Text I type into the start menu doesn’t get sent to an online search engine. There’s no proto-ai garbage. Oh, and it didn’t cost $200 like my win10 key did.

It’s going to take me a week to set up, as I have tons of data on many ntfs drives that I need to be able to do anything productive, and they’re all “read only” because I think windows knows I have a linux install and now blue-screens every time I try to shut it down. (This is a problem because ntfs drives get set to read only if windows doesn’t shut down cleanly).

chrome used to be good. Emphasis on the past tense.

Firefox was always good. Chrome was very briefly better. Firefox has not suffered enshittification like chrome did.

It’s not the jack itself, but rather what it represents. The ability to simply and easily do what you want with a device you paid potentially thousands of dollars for, and it was taken away for no better reason than to save a few cents, or mimic a more successful company that wanted to save a few cents. Similarly, easily swappable batteries. The battery is likely the first component in a device to die, and when it does fuck you, buy a whole new phone. I used to never put my phone on a charger; I had two batteries and I’d just switch them out every morning, easy and simple. That feature was taken away by greedy megacorps who refuse to make a product that I actually want to buy, instead I have to settle for a worse product that costs more than it needs to and does less than what its replacing.

It’s the next step of the civil rights movements, which certain demographics of people are fighting tooth and nail to prevent (and undo past progress). If it were possible to simply say “All people get equal rights”, and leave it at that, we’d all be better off. We’ve had some big hullabaloos in the past about “do the blacks count as people?” and “do women count as people?” then “do the gays count as people?” and now “do the trans count as people?”. Once everyone gets over hating trans people, the haters will move on to another minority to persecute and we’ll have posts online about “Why do I have to hear about (label) all the time? Can’t we just leave them be?”
