Why did Hunter Biden do this??!
Putin simps and tankies defending the war are just mind-blowing to me. It smacks of Nazi sympathizers in World War 2 arguing that Hitler can do whatever he wants in Poland.
The power a government has over you, and the power your employer has over you, are totally different.
The government is legally authorized to separate you from your possessions, your freedom, and even your life in extremis. Your boss can't do any of that and if they try the government should stop them.
Some people believe democracy is what prevents the government from punishing you capriciously, or allowing corporations to just do whatever they want to you. So they are willing to die to defend it.
I would say traditional liberal ideals are closer to what they'd want to defend than democracy itself, and I don't 100% agree in either case, but I can see the point of view.
But he's not Jewish!
More seriously the entire reason he wanted to buy X was clearly to appeal to cryptofascists. The "free speech" he so desperately champions is just anti-minority, pro-white, and pro-violence; and the "free speech" he gets rid of are the voices allied against that. That he would wind up railing against Jews and Jewish organizations is unfortunately entirely predictable.
It's much more difficult to reach and sustain 30 mph on a pedal bike, and if you're doing that you're typically quite invested in it. E-bikes on the other hand it's really easy to get to a very high speed, and I frequently see people doing it while on their phone, without wearing a helmet, and/or with additional passengers.
I think a little bit of education here could go a long way.
I went full Linux a few months ago and haven't looked back. Steam has superb support for basically everything I could want to play -- in some cases I feel like Linux actually performs better than Windows on the same hardware. I really appreciate the huge investment Valve made into making Linux gaming work.
Hilarious that there are still people accusing the Ukrainians of being neo-Nazis.
“Different country, different culture” doesn’t make homophobia okay, and it doesn’t make it okay to call the movie homophobic when it had nothing at all to do with gay people. They’re just calling it that because their fragile patriarchy conceives of an attack against it as being anti-man which to them is also gay. It’s a disgusting and wrong point of view, and we can say that despite their country and culture.
Barbie was a pretty thorough takedown of patriarchy and toxic masculinity and hardly seemed superficial to me.
And I would hope those countries’ points of view would in fact be very difficult to understand.
Yeah, every accusation is an admission with these people.
What, after firing all of them and removing their best tools?
But I was assured racism was over because Obama was President!
Make your own instance with the politics you want.
There is no such thing as non-political spaces, only spaces where everyone has pre-agreed on what politics are acceptable.
