  • While I respect the intent, I do think that you probably need to consider the reasoning as well. Putting black and white morality over actions isn’t necessarily correct either.

    Poking fun at someone who is objectively evil over their appearance is “something” that an average person can do that might actually affect the person in question. It might not do anything, but it’s sure as hell more appropriate and effective than trying to point out the issue with their moral stance. You can’t always make a difference through peaceful or indirect means.

    I think it’s important to point out that body shaming someone who isn’t a bad person is wrong, but it is also important to point out that for most people our words are our only recourse. You can insult a terrible person for one thing, while ignoring or praising the same trait in someone who is good.


  • Well my dreams last night were about a group of people that were having a competition in a barber shop to see who could cut out holes from the skin on the top of their heads without looking at how deep the incisions were and without any anesthetic…

    So honestly - not looking at my phone is really the most reasonable part of the majority of my dreams.

    Gnome does some questionable things, and some are just personal preference, but there is at least one thing that they do that makes zero sense regardless of how you use your system…

    The AppIndicator extension SHOULD be default. There is no reason for it to be an extension other than pure stubbornness. There are applications that literally require it in order to function at all.

    I prefer to buy it, use it for a few days, and then return it as defective. Not my problem that they accept any and all returns for completely bs reasons. Who needs “sales” if you’re just getting your money back anyway.

    And yes I know that this fucks over the seller more than Amazon itself, but ultimately there’s fuck all that I can do to hurt Amazon. I might as well get something out of it if they’re going to own the world.





  • All of this anticheat bs is still making the baseline assumption that the problem needs to be solved at the expense of the players.

    It’s illegal to steal someone else’s property. We don’t enforce that law by cutting off everyone’s hands preemptively so that there is less demand on police to solve a problem that hasn’t happened yet…

    If people are assholes and go against the wishes of society, you police and moderate them. If they can’t moderate their platform, that isn’t the fault of the community - it’s a failing of the corporation. It’s such a ridiculous mindset. It’s a fucking video game…
