The biggest difference between transistor radios and BT hardware is that BT will never give you a prize for being the 9th caller.

I’m just starting “blasphemous” and “inscription”. I just completed “Axiom Verge”.

No recoil, but you might feel a little sting.

This is the first one of these I’ve upvoted.

Your search has still only turned up a forgery.

I’m trying to imagine the user that both needs a text editor in the command line, yet is uncomfortable outside a gui.

I write scripts all day, but closing a program without clicking the little ‘x’ is scary and weird.

This isn’t cooperation, this is rivalry. The point is for you to use Edge instead of Chrome.

Just another skirmish in the war for what matters most: which tech-giant is the default choice.

This is a real thing. They’ve got a website, a facebook, and a youtube.

I love all the little ways observant Jews try to lawyer their way out of the inconvenience of their own religious observance.

For example, some elevators in NYC run continuously on Shabbat, stopping at every floor so nobody has to push any buttons.

I just love the contradiction of an all powerful, omniscient God that can be so easily tricked, delightful.

What group are you referring to? Usually when I hear the “no body is above criticism” it’s a defense of bigotry.

People pretend that you can’t criticize Islam for example, even though you can’t mention that religion online without some brave truth-teller reminding us all that Mohamed was a pedo.

People say you can’t criticize Israel, but I’ve criticized them plenty with very little push-back. Maybe the accusations of antisemitism is chilling, but being called a name isn’t the same thing as “not being allowed”. (I also find that unfair accusations are not nearly as offensive as apt ones)

Maybe you just ironically want sacred status for people who criticize? Because receiving criticism seems to be the chief complaint for people making this argument.

I swear baby, this is my first early access. This has never happened to me before.

Crush patriarchy. That’s the system that’s failed these men after all. It wasn’t progressive values that promised them women to dispose of. It wasn’t feminism that promised them easy success and automatic status.

It’s the promise of patriarchy that has “been stolen from us”. And it’s the restoration of patriarchy these men are clamoring for. Men want their privilege back and the Left can accommodate them for the low low price of jettisoning feminist values from the movement.

This is really the most Democrat bullshit ever. Left politics is getting more support than ever, but we’re going to get obsessed with pleasing the groups that hate and oppose us instead of championing the issues of those who support us.

You conflate being Asian (a resident of a continent) with Slavic (a cultural group). So what is race? A coordinate, or a cuisine?

Race is so unreal that you can’t even keep the lore straight in your own head.

Spaces like 8cun and kiwifarms are very welcoming to regular type dudes with centrist politics and mainstream opinions. They’re not nasty, unreasonable, and deranged like us. They’ll never challenge a man who identifies as normal.

It’s really hard to hurt another person when you feel their pain.

Consider the sadist. How can you enjoy someone’s suffering if you can’t recognize it?

The most wicked people are advanced empaths.

We don’t know. Forces in and near black holes break physics. There is tons of speculation, but speculation is all there is.

It’s good to have a rational for your choices. And we know it can’t be because you think Microsoft makes good software that you enjoy using.

Linux is easier to install than Windows. With the new Win11 requirements, Linux is the only choice for PC hardware more than 5yo. And like you say, hardware drivers just work. This used to be Windows major advantage, but now the chance you run into a compatibility issue is about the same for either OS.
