I built a Pwnagotchi but I haven’t cracked any of it’s handshakes yet.

My local FreeGeek was selling $5 e-readers in an e-reader bin this weekend.

You claim that each group fighting for their own unique needs and rights is some how splintering our unity. You do know intersectionality is a thing, right? Just because I’m for gay rights doesn’t mean I’m against black rights. Each group has their own unique needs and there is some interplay between them but there is absolutely no shame or downside to communicating those unique needs.

What you claim sounds very similar to an argument I often hear from right-wingers. “Gays and Lesbians already have equal rights. They have the right to marry someone of the opposite sex just like everyone else.”

There is a difference between equality and equity.

You claim that is the fault of minorities demanding equal rights that inequality in wealth has risen rather than put the blame squarely where it’s deserved: the right wing, and people who couldn’t be bothered to vote against the right wing (or worse, the people discouraging others from voting for the only opposition party to the right wing).

You claim that “leftists” are that different from tankies but judging by your own rhetoric which is incredibly hostile to minorities, I’d say they are quite the same.

You make it sound like discrimination is something that only happened recently and that it’s some kind of conspiracy invented by the rich instead of something that has literally been around since the dawn of humanity. Hell it’s not even a trait unique to humanity.

Everyone being equal sounds great and all. Show me a left wing country that’s achieved it.

Pretending everything can be magically solved by wealth equality is pure class reductionism and this fantasy has never been borne out by reality. Different groups experience different forms of discrimination and each has different needs. Not to mention the “left” isn’t without it’s share of abhorrent views. Check out the recent posts of !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works to see transphobia and queerphobia from leftists you claim desire equality on full display.

I mean it wouldn’t be a problem if people didn’t get angry about minorities having rights.

The reason the rich are pushing right-wing politics is that they know socially conservative people are ready to give the wealthy whatever they want so long as they can tread on the humanity of minorities. So a large part of the problem is there truly are a lot of deplorable people who have some truly abhorrent views and the rich are taking advantage of that. Is the rich taking advantage a problem? Sure, but the bigger problem is that these people with these views exist in the first place and are easily manipulated.

If the rich could get tax cuts from pushing for social rights for minorities they would do that instead, but social liberals are less gullible than the conservatives.

It’s pretty easy to explain too. Social media and traditional media are all owned by billionaires and they want to push a rightwing agenda because that means less taxes for them and fuck everyone else.

I just need to open my work laptop and watch it utterly fail at even the most basic tasks for me to be convinced our level of technology is no where near where it needs to be to start sticking electronics in people’s heads.

I used to be a teacher in the 2010s. I remember boys having this ghost pepper challenge they would do that would put them in literal tears.

I never stopped them. Some just have to learn through experience that being an idiot to impress your buds isn’t going to result in a good time for you.

Oh look. The Russian agents are openly operating in the US now and killing US citizens they deem enemies.

Did she fall out of a window or get unexplained radiation poisoning?

i think they will probably be safe. Trump is in the pocket of tech billionaires and they need cheap labor.

I noticed Edge would only show me corporate/authority friendly results recently as well oddly cutting down the number of results I see to a very unnaturally short amount of results.

Deleting it and moving to DuckDuckGo which while the corporate friendly things were still at the top, it at least showed me some opposition results.

Is there an alternative to Google Drive that doesn’t lock me into using MS Office. I particularly need to ability to share and edit files online.

If you cared about your fellow human beings you would have done everything in your power to get Harris into office and encouraging everyone around you to vote for Democrats considering the alternative.

Now, Palestinians are well and truly fucked as are all marginalized communities within the US itself (as well as all other people in the US and out of the US that have to deal with Trump and Elon’s shit now). But I think punishing the US was probably your true goal from the start. You don’t actually give a fuck about Palestinians.

It’s been proven that people who do fuckall after throwing their money into mutual funds generally fare better than people actively monitoring and making stock moves.

You’re probably fine.

I never bought NVIDIA in the first place so this news doesn’t affect me.

Ah I have yet to watch it. Didn’t realize Walken was in it.

Biden reversed Trump’s previous executive order banning it and said he would just support whatever Congress decides, and both sides of Congress bipartisanly supported a ban. But sure… Only Genocide Joe. 🙄

What is this format from?
