You want communism because you want to liberate the Proletariate.
I want communism because I want to see the bourgeoisie punished for their crimes against humanity.
We are not the same. (But we have the same goal)

Yes. Because any government willing to accept that deal deserves to be overthrown.


Krypton was the center of an imperialist power that conquered most of the Galaxy before it was destroyed. They’d retreated back to Krypton and become insular, but there was a lot of hard feelings among other races. It’d be like asking “why did no one want to save Britain” if the Isles started to sink. Sure, the capacity exists, but it mostly exists in the hands of people that empire treated very poorly a few generations back.


They aren’t. There is no widespread or structural oppression of Ace people, if anything society is moving in their direction as the secular puritans of Gen Z become the cultural arbiters.


Yeah. Using “women” as an adjective may be more socially acceptable than using “female” as a noun, but it really shouldn’t be.


I’ll confess to not having compared them in the last 10 years or so, and I’d be happily surprised to be wrong, but I’m betting that “long way” is mostly in terms of features used by casual/home users, not power users who use the software on a professional basis to do professional work. .


I hate that it is the way it is, but OSS “alternatives” are not serious tools for professionals. That said, I’m 100% in favor of nationalizing Adobe and Microsoft, since they’ve created a world where only their tools are good enough to do the job, but that’s not the conversation we’re having here.
Here’s a simple test: take all formatting out of a copy of Ulysses or some other doorstopper of a classic novel so it’s just a giant wall of text. Give two publishing pros each a copy of that wall of text, have one turn it in to a publishable book using the industry standard tools and one do the same task with the OSS “alternatives” and see who’s done first, and which version is the better looking final product.
Wanna place any bets?


Then that’s even worse, because the design of the OSS “alternatives” to everything I use daily for work screams “hobbyist who just needed the basic functions of a word processor and spreadsheet editor for school”.


A vasectomy, mostly. I did try to get into some studies for things like IVD, but that never materialized either.
I was shocked at how easy it was when I got to the NW and just…walked into a Planned Parenthood and scheduled the appointment.
Florida in the late 90s/early 00s was very “unreal”, but it’s gotten worse every time I’ve gone back to visit.


Neither was worth the time it took to uninstall them when they proved almost unusably inferior to the industry standards.
These things are the standard for a reason, OSS hobbyists who are not graphic designers or admin workers generally will never be able to make something that is in the same league for the exact same reason that I couldn’t build a compiler better than the industry standard one, even if I technically had the coding skills to make it, because I haven’t spent decades using one professionally, so I wouldn’t know what an industry pro would want from it.


They’re anything bus serious, but that does appear to be what they’re suggesting, yes. Typical pronatalist nonsense.


As a man who’s been very sure he wanted to remain childfeee since his teens: most surgeons won’t sterilize men on request either. I was told several times to come back after I was married with at least three kids. Had to move to the literal opposite corner of the country to a place where Planned Parenthood isn’t under constant assault to get a vasectomy after decades of chasing one.
Nothing that was already good has ever been improved by mayonnaise. Mayo is a topping people put on mediocre and boring foods to make them edible.


If this is them being serious, I’d hate to see them clowning.
Mayonnaise on grilled cheese is an abomination.
For the absolute best grilled cheese ever just put sliced cheese between two slices of bread, drop 2 tbsp (28.5g for those of you not using freedom units) of butter in a pan just hot enough to make it sizzle, put your sandwich in the melted butter and flip after 3 minutes.
Edit: got so worked up about the mayo abomination I forgot what I came here to say. My food hack is self rising flour in anything that used the flour, salt, baking powder trio. Easier, quicker, and no chance of messing up the ratio and getting crackers instead of biscuits.


We have a lot of center right politicians, most of the Democratic Party fits that description. They’re only “left” of the Republican party. They are not objectively on the left. The furthest left flank of the party (like Pramila Jayapal or Adelita Grijalva) could maybe be seen as center left, but the majority of the party is firmly right of center.
No. Pedophillia and porn involving minors is already illegal. This is about normalizing morality police.
Porn with minors is already illegal, that strawman doesn’t even stand up.
Opposing this is about opposing the normalization of porn bans. Making porn with kids is already illegal most everywhere, and making porn where someone pretends to be a kid is already illegal in the UK.
Defending this is defending backdoor theocracy.
Side note: dibs on Backdoor Theocracy as a band name…
Apocalyptica also did an amazing cover, in German, with Till Lindeman of Rammstein on vocals
