  • This should tell you that yes, the economy was in fact the most important issue on the ballot, not putting women in their place.

    That’s the point. Maybe if people gave a shit about the actual policies they voted in instead of believing republicans waving their hands and saying “economy.” We wouldn’t end up where we will:

    A fascist dictatorship, where your civil liberties are stripped away, corporations have more power, and the middle and working classes are just as bad, if not worse off.

    IMO: If you only voted for trump based on the economy you deserve to face the worst of what this regime is about to bring. If you’re not willing to pay attention to the world around you, stay the fuck out of the voting booth.

    That’s because we didn’t move to nuclear like we should have 20-30 years ago+.

    There’s no excuse to be burning coal or oil at this point, at least in first world countries that have the money.

    We’re hitting issues with energy use because we didn’t take the upgrade path for our energy production that we were given because money.

    Eat your boss (sexually), and pat your landlord on the head. Or whatever it is that doesn’t piss the .world mods off.

    Yeah well the 0.01% seem to be the people who actually know how to use a computer, or at least a portion of them, so maybe design for them since the rest don’t seem to give a fuck.

    Especially considering the people who actually work on hardware design are more likely than average to be a part of that 0.01%, if we really are that rare. Which I don’t believe.

    Storing music and ROMs on your phone is a pretty common usecase I have to imagine. It sucks I can’t keep all my stuff on me like I used to.

    While we’re at it I want my LG V20 style inbuilt DAC back. I shouldn’t have to choose between unlocking my phone every time USB disconnects, or in-line compression mixed with the vulnerabilities that come with Bluetooth. Onboard 3.5mm jacks let you reconnect headphones that disconnect in your pocket securely without an unlock.

    Also ir blasters so I can make restaurants think their TV’s are broken again.

  • Look if you’re just going to take single lines from a multi-paragraph reply out of context to fuel your bad faith arguments, you can go bite one.

    The fact that you repeatedly call me a leech is very telling. It says to us that you’re interested in finding excuses to put strangers in a box so you can feel better about yourself.

    Maybe go out and find something about yourself to actually like, instead of this upstanding citizen bullshit, because its a very thin veneer.

    Just say you’re ok with stifling creative people because you don’t believe the deserve to live off of their hard work.

    Just admit you’re too dense to see the difference between pirating a piece of media owned by a corporation who’s no longer giving money to the artists for said creation, and a smaller artist/group of artists who survive directly off of their work.

    But yeah tell me more about how the indie dev who spends hundreds a month on tiny band camp artists doesn’t give a shit about creative because I refuse to pay $40 for flacs of a classic rock album when indie artists can do the same thing for $8. Despite the $8 purchase actually going to artists and not record label execs/shareholders.

    Furthermore, you growing fruit takes resources and time. I can make thousands of copies of a file in a single keystroke. Again, the more apt metaphor would be me buying fruit, using that to grow my own, and giving that away. Even then its not exact.

    Its not a minute detail lmao, it throws the entire argument. In one instance you’re stealing a physical good. In another you’re making a one-to-one copy of a piece of information. Information that exists on MY physical storage medium, using MY bits that I physically own.

    You specifically chose that metaphor knowing this. Don’t try and gaslight me with that shit.

    Just because you’re wrong doesn’t mean you have to argue in bad faith, sweety. <3
