Not an American so my opinion here is worth approximately fuck all, but I doubt it tbh. Donald is an unlikeable arsehole well past his prime, and there’s still a lot of energy on the other side in spite of the DNC campaign team’s hardest efforts to clutch defeat from the jaws of victory.

The demands haven’t changed. They’ve always been, and this is really quite simple; stop sending weapons to Israel while it’s engaging in genocide. The goalposts have not shifted.

No shit dickhead, I’m not Spanish. I’m just asking men on Lemmy to be normal about women, which, I get it, for sweaty nerds on the internet is a tall ask.

Probably, if perhaps to a lesser degree given the difference in cultural context. What is the purpose of your question?

Dude stop objectifying women as though we’re artworks intended for your gaze. It’s kinda gross and pathetic.

Woolies homebrand sells the same thing as pringles but bigger and for cheaper. Do they not have knockoff pringles where you live?

But I block their ads… are they stupid???

A bunch of anarchists who do end up leaving Reddit use Raddle, a different alternative to Reddit. This is probably why there’s so few of us on Lemmy.

As for why so many do stay on corporate social media like Reddit, it’s a similar reason a bunch of socialist orgs organise on Facebook: that’s where the people are.

Third time’s the charm…

There are more than just two possible reasons to dislike Michel “what if the child consents tho” Foucault.

> “Actually existing socialism”

> look inside

> capitalism, but the state is the capitalist

All good.

To clarify my earlier hostility, I think there’s been a misunderstanding here. What you just cited is support for the opposite of conversion therapy…

Yeah righto champ, you seem to be a real intellectual heavyweight.

For one, if you’re gonna pull out the ole’ debate bro jargon, at least do it right. I didn’t use an ad-hom. An unfair representation of an interlocutor’s argument is called a strawman, but for what it’s worth, I don’t think I misrepresented what you said anyway.

Secondly, you did use an ad-hom by calling me “Blue MAGA.” I am also a communist, your argument was just dogshit and dumbfucks like you feed into insufferable liberals’ smug sense of superiority over us. Also I’m not even an American.

“Hey, this guy keeps making absurd claims that have no basis in reality and it’s a mistake to take anything he says seriously.”

Hey, um ackshually, did you know saying that makes YOU sound crazy???

Dude fuck off

Meh… there are certain use cases where the selection between mesa or either of the AMD drivers does matter.

Yeah, I am very privileged in a lot of ways. I understand that much, and am extremely grateful for it. I also understand that my opinions are at least in part derived from my privileged personal experience. You’re absolutely right in that I cannot speak to the experience of someone who lacks the support I have. I just think that of the billions whose lives are less privileged than my own, many would nevertheless consider their lives to be worth living. I find it tragic when some don’t, but I don’t think that that is necessarily a universally held opinion by the underprivileged.

I just have to ask: why do you insist on putting questions to me that have false premises? Nowhere in this thread have I said that mine is the universal Autistic^TM view, and yet you ask me why I feel I have the right to override people’s opinions. Hell, I don’t think anyone else in this thread has argued that there is any obligation to procreate. On the contrary, I have seen people people making the universal claim that autistic lives are especially not worth living and making the prescriptive claim that autists should not reproduce. That is a eugenicist argument.

Yeah but like, why not let those with the best understanding of the particular circumstances make that decision on a case-by-case basis instead of unilaterally saying that because some people are probably going to have a shitty life no one gets to make more (people)?

What the fuck do you want from me? I don’t owe you shit. You asked a question I suspected and am now convinced was in bad faith, and I answered it anyway.

You’re talking a lot of shit about me making baseless assumptions for somebody out here asking questions that are entirely premised on baseless assumptions yourself, such as (wrongly) assuming not only that I’m capable of having children (I intentionally had my gonads removed, not that it’s any of your business) but also that I’d want to (children have a tendency to be noisy, outgoing and energetic in a way that doesn’t jive with my own autism). I just don’t have a problem with people who genuinely believe that they can give their children a good life having any, as I’m not convinced that a good life is impossible (yet).

Piss off with your bullshit “politely trying to explain our points of view” civility politics, we were past that when you took the least charitable interpretation you could have done and misconstrued my point of view as somehow placing blame on the victims of the current state of affairs.

Genuinely asking here.

nonono: you’re “Just Asking Questions.” At least, I believe that’s the vernacular.

My position is simple: for as long as there is any positive experience to be had, life can be worthwhile and it’s not up to anyone to make a decision based on the contrary view to that on the behalf of anyone else. Also eugenics is fucking vile.
