To be clear, I don’t think most of these folks fully understand the consequences of supporting fascist politicians. My imm. aunt startled me a bit yesterday when said something like democracy means gay people everywhere. I said that’s not true and “reminded” her democracy is a system of gov where citizens can vote, one where women weren’t previously able to participate in, nor black citizens.

Still, where does that leave us? No fuckin joke, we basically need to stop trying to use facts to reach certain folks. My understanding is that means we need to use emotions/emotional intelligence. How do we do that? Not sure. Many of us had to numb the fuck out to survive what we call American culture, so we’re really just barely learning

How do we now make Americans that kinda hate our guts, because of tons of propaganda, that we care about them and want to work with them to improve our nation? Most libs kinda do come off like they hate them, tbf

Idk if that made sense. Kinda stuck rn

Do y’all talk to people day-to-day?

I hear a lot of anti immigrant rhetoric from my immigrant aunts and my more “trashy” or low-class friends (all kids of immigrants)

I’ve been saying this for more than a decade now, before bots became such a huge thing (I think), if YouTube comments are any reflection of the average person/American, we’re so beyond fucked. I absolutely do not practice cynicism

You’re both right.

Nazis had death camps, which are a type of concentration camp.

Concentration camps were what Americans had, when we imprisoned Japanese-American citizens. Apparently, Internment camps are concentration camps for “enemies” and supposedly not meant to imprison a country’s own citizens

It shouldn’t be hard to understand the benefit of this being confusing and who it benefits. It benefits the people that supported these unreasonable and racist actions and those that have profited off such actions economically and socially

Source, though I didn’t read everything

Fair enough. I still wish I could just accept the risk and click a button that forfeits my use of Microsoft support or something

I could totally get on board with that.

I’ll definitely do it once I work up the energy… or more likely Microsoft forces me to move. lol

I thought you were gonna make a joke about linux users having to fix some random issue that popped up on linux

Idk… it’s been a while since I used it and I always had issues that took hours to troubleshoot. lol

You just helped me realize all the people that make a big deal out of getting monthly “security” updates for their phones are probably just dumb teenagers!

I hate mandatory updates with a fiery passion

Remember when zippy died? All those beautiful, obscure, working links… gone

This Zaslav guy’s kind of dumb, overpaid piece of shit, eh?

Anyone know how the $250 mil he’s paid in stock options works? In one of the links in the article above it says he only gets that money if the stock goes above a certain price. Surely, there’s tiers or brackets or something, right? Like, considering the stock has only gone down, it seems hard to believe he literally gets zero value out of all that stock

I’m gonna pretend there was a windows update at that specific time so it makes a bit more sense to me

lol. That was good

Can’t you just hide the paid movies/tv tab? Or is it a principle thing

Is jellyfin better? I’d never heard of it 'til now

I absolutely love z library!

It’s weird this needs to be repeated so often. Just goes to show how often media corpos repeated the lie that creating a copy of something and sharing it with someone else is the same thing as stealing physical property from someone.

Nah, those are just so we can shoot nonwhite people and say we thought they had a gun
