I have a lenovo, and while the software side seems to be good, the hardware side is not.
They clearly don’t give a shit about hinges and use the cheapest, thinnest plastic they can source.
It’s fucking stupid and should be illegal, but our representatives don’t represent us.
To counter everyone saying “they do,” could you be referring to more high-profile cases?
Trump was shot at, but not killed. Would’ve made history if he was.
The US doesn’t have political assassinations on the level of say, Mexico, but they are frequent enough for someone to be able to point to them still happening. Usually it’s about some congressperson that we’ve never heard of.
I’m not sure if there’s greater protection based on the popularity of politicians. It would make sense if someone like AOC gets more protection than, well, someone we haven’t heard of.
Very very bad.
I thought Hillary would win the 2016 election.
It’s up to you whether or not it’s important. I see your point on whether or not it’s possible, and I’m inclined to agree with you.
I’m glad that pretty much all of the artists I enjoy didn’t do anything like drug and rape women or come out in favor of oppressive nonsense (as far as we know.)
It doesn’t surprise me that the businessmen posing as artists routinely end up being pieces of shit. It’s always good for a laugh when the morons who liked their art find out for themselves.
I dunno about brita specifically, but my walmart water filter has served me well throughout the years.
Back when I moved in to a friend’s house and started drinking his tap water, I would get sick all the time. I knew it was the water, I could feel it. Every time I drank it, it tasted weird, metallic, and I could tell I was poisoning myself.
Ever since I started filtering it, I stopped getting sick. Haven’t looked back and have been drinking walmart-filtered tap water ever since.
Haven’t been sick in years, either.
Food.
That’s honestly all my money goes towards these days.
And utilities.
You can get 4 months of Internet with Visible for only $25/month with unlimited data.
It’s really just preference.
What you really should be looking for are “circumaural” headphones. These are headphones that cover your entire ear.
Whether you get open-back or closed-back is entirely up to you. Don’t let anyone convince you that one is strictly superior to the other.
They both have their benefits and detriments.
Black Lives Matter is a fine name for what it supports.
I didn’t study the etymology of feminism, but in practice it has always resulted in fighting for women’s rights while ignoring or paying lip-service to men’s rights.
There’s no feminist platform that advocates for removing men from the draft or including women in it, for example. I don’t believe that the differences between men and women, especially today, are great enough to give any preference to one sex over the other. Most of us are suffering because we are poor.
From my experience, feminists will say feminism is about equality to fool people who don’t know any better into supporting a cause that is practically about female superiority. They believe it’s woman’s turn to be the oppressors and to them that is ‘fair.’
This is exemplified by how it’s socially acceptable (even encouraged) to make disparaging comments about men, but making similar comments about women will get you ostracized. You can’t say you’re for equality of the sexes if you laugh when somebody says “I hate all men” but get angry if someone else says “I hate all women.” Neither is acceptable, but feminists will disagree.
I’ll accept that feminism is about furthering the rights of women.
It’s not about equality, though, which is why we never hear feminists complaining about men in the draft.
It’s also a terrible word to use if it is about equality because it clearly favors one group over others. If you want to support equality, you should use a different word.
Not really.
Black Lives Matter is a movement specifically to shed light on how cops abuse their power towards people of color and frequently go unpunished for it. Black Lives Matter is not about addressing how white people may suffer at the hands of police brutality and if you’re trying to argue that it is, then you’re either disingenuous or ignorant.
You do have a point though, where both feminism and Black Lives Matter focus on one group over people over others.
No it’s not. It clearly favors one side, but then people are saying it’s about equality.
If whatever feminism is trying to describe is truly about equality, then we should use a term that isn’t biased.
There should be a different word that doesn’t favor one side if it’s about equality.
Anyone who is tired of people misconstruing the meaning of the word ‘feminism’ should be trying to find a better word that means what they are trying to convey.
What is this referring to?
How dairy cows need to be pregnant in order to produce milk, so they’re artificially inseminated and kept pregnant throughout most of their lives?
It’s a really shit word to use if it’s supposed to mean equality.
Are there any other words we can use to replace feminism that doesn’t show bias towards one side?
Thomas Sankara was a true hero that was killed because he dared to threaten the status quo of “haves and have-nots.”
Nah.
For one, I don’t like a term that’s supposed to promote equality clearly favoring one side in its name.
For two, most feminists I’ve met genuinely hate men and think they’re owed superiority, not equality, for the treatment of women in the past.
That could be absurdly good.
I’d like to see it on Adult Swim.
You’re right, it’s not their responsibility.
The software would still be better if it had this feature, or at least some kind of warning or notification to alert users of the problem before they upgrade.
