But I mean like.. so what?

There was a need/desire for a word describing this concept, it was created, and is now used. It's a new word

..you do realize that all words are made up, right?

Who cares at this point, they're doing evil, treat it as such

Military technology has got a near unlimited budget, that means you get tons of cool and technically impressive toys and things to work with

I enjoy watching the breakdowns of the most advanced weaponry and stuff like jet fighters (that we have access to information about), nuclear armaments, and other stuff like that, because they are very very impressive from an engineering perspective

But, of course, I really do strongly hate them for existing in terms of their actual purpose. It would be much cooler for similar engineering feats to be in use for civilian purposes. But I can't deny that they are amazing from a purely technical perspective

Well, then they have to face the consequences of not paying attention to the things happening in the place they intend to go to

Like, yeah, ideally you wouldn't need to worry about this, but this is always a risk when traveling, and politics has that trait of being interested in you whether or not you are interested in it back

Wayland is the new protocol and will be the one that everything uses in the long run

If Wayland works for you, then that's great, don't use X11

The main reason you'd want to use X11 these days is for compatibility. But that's getting less and less of a concern as time goes on

Yeah lmao, that's the worst possible argument he could give I think

"Have you forgotten your economics class?" And then compared public research to a private newspaper

Like, lmao

There's not going to be a next election at this rate.

You voted for fascism.

I think the allies did a pretty good thing by fighting fascism and the nazis

Well, the harm that it did is possibly being one of the catalysts for the modern alt-right movement which directly lead to fascist america so...

Sure, it wasn't the only thing, but it sure as hell was a bug part of it (especially during gamergate)

And then.... What is that money going to get used for, exactly?

That's the fucked up part in all of this. A government is much closer to something like a non-profit than it is to a business. Because, like, when you're a government and have a monetary surplus, what do you do with it? Of course you just wanna spend it!

I know the actual answer is "to give to the billionaires because apparently having enough money for 2000 uber-wealthy lifetimes is not enough" but you know
