Except apparently a ps5

I have thought about this very topic quite a bit over the years. Maybe I’m more judgemental than you but I don’t think anyone who doesn’t have a few specific handicaps is incapable of developing critical thinking skills. The people who don’t develop them simply don’t want to and that’s something I feel more than justified in blaming them for. That may not be accurate in reality but I don’t know how you could prove which one of our views is more correct.

Games don’t feel like they’re made with fun as the goal anymore. The goal is engagement (which is significantly different from fun) to drive monetization in one form or another. It makes the whole process of playing feel tedious and empty.

They can’t do any of this other shit either. That’s not stopping us from doing it

That’s worse imo. There’s no delusion required to rub one out.

How dare you force me to view this unredacted obscenity! Now I’ll never make it to heaven you jerk

I do wish we could stop confusing tolerance with active support though. I don’t need to be on your team to tolerate you or your lifestyle. In fact, we don’t even need to acknowledge each other’s existence to be tolerant of one another. We just need to let each other exist unimpeded.

Yeah that’s what I meant by “people who use it more probably think it has a better layout”. I’ve tried to use it in the fashion it was designed on a couple of occasions but the version control / repository categorization functions didn’t make sense to me. I assume it would if I did those things more but I also think it’s laid out differently than I would like even for those purposes.

I’m with you on github for sure. I assume people who use it regularly think it has a decent layout but to me it seems so random and disjointed that I can’t imagine how that’s possible.

First of all, if you don’t think it’s weird to start off an introduction with “I’m queer and I’m a furry” then I’m not sure what to tell you. The vast majority of people in the world are going to be put off by you introducing yourself that way. That’s personal shit you talk about once you get to know somebody not an ice breaker. You can make the argument that people should be more accepting of that kind of thing but the fact is this sort of introduction breaks just about every social norm there is and when you do that willingly you should expect people to get uncomfortable.

Second of all, quit forcing your kinks on everyone else. I don’t care what weird kinky shit you do in your free time but I don’t want to talk to you about it, especially not at work. It doesn’t matter if your thing is women’s feet, dudes buttholes, or guys dressed as a cartoon wolf, the answer is the same, ew stop. It isn’t bigotry to not want to be forced to deal with your sexuality as a prerequisite for interacting with you. I probably don’t want to be interacting with you at all, much less talking about what you like to do with your genitals, so stop oversharing and keep that shit to yourself.

And some people can’t pull their head out of their own ass long enough to see that their problems aren’t the same as everyone else’s problems. You’re right though, it’s naive to expect others not to view themselves and their pet issues as the only thing worth discussing in the world. Your response being a great case study in how you can do exactly that while also implying that no one else even has problems to begin with.

When can we stop inserting politics into every little thing? I know it’s a big deal at the moment, what with the fascist takeover of our government, but are Linux devs and their moderators really the people we expect to represent all of us in that fight? They don’t have the power to help in that capacity.

We should be able to accept people’s help in whatever realm they are offering it without trying to force them to help with everything else at the same time. These guys signed up to support open source software. That’s an important and helpful thing but it isn’t gay rights activism. That is not their area of expertise. They’re not supposed to be representing LGBTQ interests in anything except the right to privacy. Quit making them the arbiter of morality in battles they didn’t sign up to fight to begin with. It doesn’t help anybody. It only redirects anger away from the people that we really should be mad at, namely our absolute disaster of a federal government.

You’re right, they’re a gas.

Commenting to come back later and check out some of the filth you heathens are into

It’s not unreasonable for you to expect it to know that but I think it is unreasonable to expect it to use that information for your benefit. That’s not why it’s collecting that data.

The furry phone? That’s not really my scene.

Seriously though, I’ve never heard of that. I’ll look into it

That response is almost as dumb as googling that question in the first place.

It’s actually sitting in one place putting up with a bunch of bullshit for most of the day. That is an essential skill in the modern workplace.
