Basically this:

Maybe… My understanding (which is admittedly based on not much hard evidence) is that right wingism is more of a symptom than a cause, and that there are basically two or three drivers:

• insecurity, particularly financial (e.g. shows up as “they’re taking our jobs”, or "fucking dole bludgers). I think greed is sometimes an excessive response to this.
• trauma (e.g. I was treated terribly, and so I’m gonna treat the world terribly in turn).
• power-hunger. (which is probably often a reaction to the other two, a need to control your world).

The insane far-right that are in power in the US, and the people surrounding them are most of the third category… I don’t think much of the base is in that category. But that group knows the triggers for people in the first two categories, and abuses the fuck out of them…

So yeah… I guess you’re right in that “convincing them of the truth” of any single issue isn’t going to solve anything. But I think aiming to solve those underlying insecurity and trauma issues might… Not that I have any quick-fix solutions…

That example’s a good one for a anotger reason: right wingers do need to feel safe, but that doesn’t mean that anything needs to be done about trans people. RW perceptions of what needs to be done are wrong, because they are based on myths and misunderstandings about the risks transness. Or another way to say it: the need for safety is real, solutions proposed by rightwingers are not appropriate, even aside from the issue of trans rights, because they won’t solve need for safety - hiding the bogeyman under a rug or behind criminalisation won’t make it go away, and will increase misunderstanding.

I assets you mean “A greater number of people”?

The same thing should apply to private property, especially in cities.

Pretty sure it was so publishers (printing press owners) could have a guaranteed profit. Those two things (publisher and artist profits) were correlated at the time. Not so much anymore. Streaming/subscription mentality is like planned obsolescence for IP.

Thank you for explaining in detail what I meant by the very first part of my comment.

Not quite what you want, but in dolphin you can open a terminal with F4, and then just type sudo deb -i <package.deb> and your password. Pretty quick.

Heh, I posted a basically identical timeline in reply to another comment above.

I’ve been using it full time for 21 years, and dual boot for years before that. Early on it definitely took up a bit of time, but that’s mostly because I was interested in breaking things and learning to fix them. Even 10-15 years ago I don’t think I would have spent more than a few hours a month fixing things. These days it’s a few hours a year, and that’s only when I start messing around with something in a careless way.

Yes, I understood the joke…

For the parents, I assume?

Personally I think @[email protected]’s take is a bit prescriptive, but I do think that if you want a good long-term relationship, then it’s about finding what’s comfortable for both of you, not just for one of you. Boundary pushing can be OK, but usually only with prior consent or better some expression of desire… If either one of you pushes the other into doing something the other doesn’t really want, that’s probably not gonna pan out well in the long run. Listening (especially to the “why” part) and working together is important.

Is there any situation for which a fart is not a perfect metaphor?

Like, with the parents listening, or with them reciting it with you?

And/or (i suspect this is more likely) it will threaten to do so, and mastodon.social/.online will update their TOS to fix the problem identified in the bug report. Either way it’s a win for federation, in that migration is relatively painless for the user…

I’m also really appreciating the speed and depth of the response to this from the community (e.g. all the comments on the bug report). It’s cool to see!

edit: Also, Eugene’s response is reasonable and levelheaded - seems like there will be some TOS improvements eventually.

With that username, I trust this answer completely.

Where did it go?

Wat

Correct. But usually it’s spelled anecdotal.
