Post it on 4chan so that people will dismiss the leaks as fake and gay.

they’re not capable of self reflection

You missed the part where I said it is for the readers, not the cultists. It is not about convincing these ideologues, it is to warn the readers why the ideas of these cultists are bad.

A broken clock is right twice a day. And it is not like the Hungarian freedom fighters are mujahideen turned Taliban.

It is not to validate them, it is to discredit them and provide red flags to would-be readers how dangerous their ideas are.

If you know what you are arguing and argue with tankies/Nazis in good faith, nine times out of ten they will eventually lose their temper and make fools of themselves. There is no need to be hostile to begin with, they just defeat themselves basically because their ideologies are totally flawed (kinda like in real life).

Use Bazzite. It is a distro dedicated to gaming and user friendly for beginners. It still has some limitations but it is better compared to others when it comes to gaming. You don’t really require more tweaking unlike other distros to make games work.

It is easy to very feel disillusioned with the world, but it is important to remember that there are still good people all around willing to fight the good fight. And it is also important to remember that technology is not inherently bad, it is a neutral object, but people could use it for either good or bad purposes.

You do realise that poorer people tend to have more children, especially in developing countries? But even then, these countries are gradually developing and their population growth is also slowing down thanks to more education and growing economy. The more educated people are, the more likely they will think first and plan before having a family. Educated people also have higher social mobility with higher disposable income, and likely try to enjoy more themselves than settle down as quickly as possible. So economic factor is a consideration with the slow down on population growth, but not the way you think it does.

Just because there are outliers, it does not mean the whole trend is represented by it. That is to say, the population growth is already slowing down and may even decline after it plateaus. Education and access to contraception works.

My brother set it up for my parents even though they don’t game. I just think he installed it because it as intuitive as Windows for lay people.

The overall human population growth is actually slowing down and expected to plateau by 2050. Who would have thought that the more educated the population is, the less likely they are going to have tons of babies.

It is now the opposite, actually. Governments now want people to have more babies! But seriously, in this economy? And the future of the earth is not even certain it will be habitable for our descendants! Why bring life into the world that will soon be dead!

My parents love Bazzite.

Is Pop as good and generally user friendly for those less familiar with Linux? Never heard of Pop before!

It is suspension of disbelief, that somehow, there was only one practical solution to defeat Thanos. And they do not involve Thor going after his head, or Thanos educating the population of the universe about family planning and contraception.

ThanosWasRight is just a meme. Thanos could have gone for the latter option but his faux concern about overpopulation is a cover for his egomania.

Musk is a sleazy salesman. That’s all he is.

Normally, I see any news on government blocking social media for any stated reasons as typically a cover for censorship. But with how Facebook and other social media morphed into something else, I could not care less if they are blocked.

America is increasingly becoming third world. It reminds me of my home country, where many elders still work to the bone.

I wonder if it’s really ADHD, or it is just that it is human nature to learn better by doing the task themselves, instead of simply listening. The expression “practice makes perfect” is indeed true. The connections between brain cells thicken and strengthen the more you repeat a task.

We can see how we can benefit from it, once most of the value it produces no longer ends in the owner class’es pocket.

Yup, indeed. Remember when social media was celebrated as what enabled bottom up revolution in the Middle East ¹ ? Well, a lot of people forgot about that, since big brained profiteers realised they can commercial people’s personal data and sell them to entities that will weaponise the innate dark insecurities of the people to influence public policies.

¹ I am aware that the Arab Spring largely failed, but so did the Revolutions of 1848. In spite of failures, I believe that the ideas have been planted and will be nurtured for future generations to reap. Even though the liberal revolutions failed in Europe, the liberal values they tried to champion are now in place in Europe. I believe the same will happen in the Middle East but it will take generations to materialise.

Say what you will about Will Smith, but his movie iRobot made a good point about this 17 years ago.

(damn I’m old)

I switched to Heliboard and I couldn’t be more happier! It is just as good as any proprietary keyboards.
