Why do people need to learn CLI to watch youtube and write emails? That's all the average computer user does.

Anarchy and Marxism aren't the same thing, lmao

I'm in the middle of pulling a chat friend out of his programming. His only real problem was being raised in Texas by a Good Ol Boy single father, and once he got out from under his dad's wing, he started to realize that what he was taught simply isn't lining up with reality.

He started out as an incel, but now he's in therapy and has a girlfriend.

I think of it less as 'converting' and more just holding his hand while he figures out that his dad's advice was complete horseshit. It takes forever, and not everybody has the spoons to pull it off, but I do, so I will.

Yeah, I got accusations thrown at me after letting a trans lady crash at my place when she came out and her ex-wife kicked her out of the house. Everybody was an adult, but the ex-wife found a friend in the TERFs, and they think trans rights is pedo apologism.

I got molested by my babysitter when I was 5, and it was incredibly infuriating to hear people say it was the same as a fucking divorce.

And once people put AI images with their article, I start to wonder how much of the article was written by a LLM. I'm too used to arguing with idiots that use GPT to generate a list of studies to support their view, only for those studies to be complete hallucinations or unrelated to the topic.

I'm completely electric, in a building with code standard insulation, and my power bill still goes up by $100 each winter, contradicting the headline's 'every time' claim. That makes me feel even stronger that this article was probably completely generated, and I'm not giving it my clicks.

Dad was a gym rat, and it is absolutely a real thing.

Yeah, I'm fine with a black lady basically going "if I'm dei, what does that make you?'

I know somebody with a full house filter, and it uses UV to reduce bacterial growth.
