I'm okay with formal hierarchies, such as in an organization, where there are checks and balances and accountability. A racial hierarchy is bullshit.

The left believes conspiracy theories. They're just different conspiracy theories.

Some body types are more...fashionable than others. For example, a woman who is deemed "chubby" now would've been a perfect 10 centuries ago.

Since beauty is subjective, tastes will be different from person to person, but certain types will dominate depending upon the culture at that time and place.

I was part of a coding bootcamp, and one day the class was talking about git. Somebody mentioned that "git" is also a word used as an insult, like "That guy is a total git". When I revealed that was where the name came from, several students audibly gasped, and a couple said something like "Oh, how embarrassing!" I had the weirdest sense of culture shock, and I had no doubt those students would make very good corporate drones.

For them, I guess. I can imagine some folks would be embarrassed to tell people that they use GIMP for the same reason.

That's what I heard, too. He has a habit of naming his software projects after himself: Linux, git.

He's an "imperfect vessel", but God uses imperfect vessels. That's what I've heard from Christian Trump supporters.

And it's hard to argue with. He's done a lot for them. He got Roe v. Wade overturned!

Fascists can act out their power fantasies in a healthy, consensual way in the bedroom. Not in my government!

So, do you start licking the boot from the toe or the heel?

Or are you the kind of person who just deep-throats the whole boot?

Vaush explained the idea in one of his streams.

Yeah, I quit watching him. Dude is pretty problematic. "Genocide is bad and wrong, but still vote for Biden, because party loyalty is more important." At least he has the balls to criticize Biden, which is more than I can say for some people.

I don't think that voting for the same two parties is going to change that. Those two parties got us into this; they aren't going to get us out.

@zarkanian@sh.itjust.works avatar

Voting for the Green Party is the bare minimum. Voting for Democrats or Republicans is capitulation.

It makes no difference to the victim whether or not the fister is enjoying it. The experience is the same.

I know it sounds ridiculous, but I've heard a lot of people use that same logic. "I want the cow to have a happy life before it's killed for my dinner". Isn't that the while logic behind "free range", "cage-free", etc.?

It isn't even that. You can be pro Zionism and anti Netanyahu.

While I agree with you in the main, I don't see how this is cowardice.

This is largely a myth. While it's true that caffeine is a diuretic, the effect on hydration is very small. This is especially true for tea, which has minimal amounts of caffeine. Hospitals are not full of people who got dehydrated from drinking too much coffee or even energy drinks.

Do a web search for "caffeine dehydration myth" (no quotes). There are lots of articles on the topic.

There's decaf tea, like there's decaf coffee, but it's still camellia sinensis.

Now, if you're talking about herbal tea, there are a bajillion different kinds: rooibos, chamomile, lavender, etc. Some herbal teas do have caffeine (such as yerba mate), but most do not.

2015, which, yes, was under Obama

Irrelevant, since that was decided by the Supreme Court, not Obama.

Yes, the SC sucks now, but it's going to suck regardless of who gets elected. That's kinda the point of the SC. It's independent of the executive branch.

The president has the power to appoint judges. So yeah, it's very much the fault of Trump that Roe was overturned.

Where did I say that it wasn't Trump's fault? Yes, Trump appointed the judges, and that might be a good reason not to vote for him, but that isn't the argument you were making.

The Democrats didn't codify Roe into law for decades, even when they had control of all three branches of government.

What are they doing to fix this? Honest question.

Probably because they're emulating old systems that Nintendo doesn't care about anymore.

Two, actually, but the second was collateral damage since the same devs were working on it. (Yuzu and Citra.)

I really thought Israel was gone in 2022 and was going to accept a silent death.

Gone? Gone where? Where would a nation go?

zarkanian ,
@zarkanian@sh.itjust.works avatar

I'm not following you.

zarkanian ,
@zarkanian@sh.itjust.works avatar

Why would anybody think that Israel was gone in 2022, though? Yes, there's a conflict, but I wouldn't bet any money on Palestine conquering Israel.

What makes you think that Trump is winning?

zarkanian ,
@zarkanian@sh.itjust.works avatar

I would be really surprised if Trump won. The guy has so many points against him it's laughable. What's more, people know what kind of a president he'll be already. He isn't some wacky unknown like in 2016. So, people would be voting him with full knowledge of what they're voting for.

zarkanian ,
@zarkanian@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yeah, whenever a Democrat loses, the Democrat did nothing wrong. The Democrats never do anything wrong. It's always those damn progressives!

if you go on /mu/ it's gonna be no more toxic than basically any other forum you could go on.

I used to go on /mu/, and yes, it's unbelievably toxic. I'm glad I don't use 4chan anymore.

And this was long before all the QAnon shit happened.

It isn't real unless somebody suffered.
