Rockbox

I desperately wish my Rockbox consistently worked without crashing or freezing once a week.

"Thanks everyone! Unfortunately he's not much of a self-starter because he's a Taurus"

"Oh, I thought this was a Rising Saturn. I knew I should've checked Co-Star first"

Just to piggyback off this comment a bit (since I'm not sure I've ever rented anywhere with MERV 13+ filters). Try making a Corsi–Rosenthal Box with a box fan and 4 air filters. This might be beyond your price range since MERV13 filters aren't the cheapest in the world when you have to buy 4 of them, but I've been using mine for years and they work REALLY well. My PM2.5 sensor is consistently on "0" unless I'm cooking.

Why would people who want socialism vote for people maintaining capitalism? Why would you equate participating in bourgeois elections as an indicator of motivation of all political action?

There's ~40-50% of US potential voters who don't vote for various reasons- Living in a state where the results are almost guaranteed, being alienated from politics in general because of the distrust in our government as a whole, leftists who don't vote but are politically active in other ways, etc. There's also people who do vote because they feel like they have to vote against the worse choice. If only all this alienation and lesser-evilism and feeling ineffective politically could be siphoned into a mass movement that helps all of us. Capitalism cannot be "fixed" if a group of people who don't vote suddenly start voting. That's pure fantasy. But it seems people who believe this would rather hope for a fantasy situation than actually looking at reality and adjusting their strategy to make things better. Otherwise, you'll just delay necessary change and feel resentment toward people who couldn't convince you fast enough.

Or when "corporatism" doesn't work, they'll just make up words like "leveragism"

“I swear, we’re just really really really really obsessed with Roman aesthetics. Pay no attention to the fasces literally everywhere”

Since heat index/wind chill/UTCI exist, maybe someone should take the opportunity to just throw out both Fahrenheit and Celsius as units for comfort since both need to be modified to be actually meaningful anyway.

I’m just imagining the keylogs for meta video editors looking like pages upon pages of

At least pills taste better than tablets.

Too much glass and metal.

(iPhone) Depending on the framing of dumbing down, an alternative camera app could be suggested. I use Halide to get rid of all the photo processing Apple does by default (which ruins night photos imo).

Yeah sorry, I wasn't trying to equate the two words, just the arguments to defend using them. I can agree that the words hold very different weights.

There's an argument to be made, even though "fellate" might be something that is done by a wide variety of sexualities, it has history and that history is as a homophobic insult. Sure, words can be reclaimed by the gay community, but the metaphor of sucking dick as a subservient action is so fucking pervasive (especially in discussions about politics for some reason) and it points towards unexamined patterns of language that are very harmful. Add on the borderline ableism at the end and it comes across as bad faith at the start, so it's no wonder a mod responds like this.
