No, what I’m saying is you’re being as foolish as tankies when you buy that BS. Any communist worth the time of day understands ANY authoritarian is a piece of trash worth discarding, not honoring and cracking down on their neighbors for…
By subscribing to the horseshoe theory, you are implying that communism/socialism literally ARE headed toward the same place as fascism, instead of having been merely userped by authoritarians and the powerful. That is completely ignorant to the very intent of those political ideologies…

OH! I’m thinking of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, which is in Britain.
I guess I confused them in my head since I got in to both around the same time so many years ago and seldom think about origins of corps…

Isn’t Adafruit British in origin?

I’ve done the same thing just being absent minded. Removing the nail is something that’d probably have happened either way after it’s detached. It won’t grow, a new one should start from under it, and the dead one will just be an annoying hard thing hanging on to what ever skin is left attached. If part of it is still somehow stuck to the bed, it’s usually better to pull it out unless the majority is fine.
It took several months to grow a new big toe nail and it still feels funny (overly sensitive) to this day.

They conserve the status quo. They conserve the unjust power dynamics of the past. They conserve the positions of the rich and wealthy.
They conserve… It’s just nothing most average joes should want to conserve…

Many, many conservatives voted for dump to punish immigrants. Many, many people voted to “own the libs”, just like the person cited in this very post.
Please… point to the “empathy” in “owning the libs”. They might have the tiniest drop of empathy for some, but the problem is they have a lot more HATE for people they don’t even fucking know. That makes them terrible people no matter how much you say, “butbut they still have some empathy!”.
Yea, the problem is they have more hate than empathy.

Clearly, that doesn’t happen. Especially not always. We wouldn’t be in this fucking boat if everyone got what they deserved. For example: Trump does not deserve the whitehouse. Republicans don’t deserve power. Are they getting what they deserve?

If you are using a VPN, then sort of. It depends on the details. They need to at least be a no-log VPN for it to be remotely true, and even then, fingerprinting a user isn’t that difficult. Though for most, DDG is only a search engine, and a search engine definitely isn’t hiding squat on its own.

While bloomcole is a laughable clown, horseshoe theory is a pretty silly theory when you get in to the details. Communism itself does not turn in to fascism. Fascist authoritarians from history have simply stolen its language to convince rubes to give them power. Any actual communist should never herald any authoritarian.
Again, not defending the clown, but commenting on the silly horseshoe theory. The only people it holds true for are idiots that still love authority. (which the clown might be such a rube)

You’re taking the position of excusing your own ignorance. Which is indeed pathetic.

I mean… A shocking number of minorities voted for him, so at least some voted for the leopard eating faces party.

That would require religion to be correct and its god to actually do anything. Neither of those things are true.
- Comment on Ideal Business Stack? 2 weeks ago:
Depends on the workload, really. 120 users using small services? probably. 120 users sharing large files or bandwidth heavy stuff? Doubt it. Also a lot of enterprise hardware is about reliability. Multiple PSUs, NICs, more robust hardware for constant load/network traffic, etc.
Sure, a gaming rig can handle it until it can’t. Another question is what happens when the box crashes? Is the business down until a new PC is built and restored from backups?
A small business can probably afford two PCs, but scaling up and up eventually becomes a lot of trouble and space.

I guess my point is: By the time we’d be able to travel that far, we’d have the ability to make all such observations without showing up on the planet.
Though on the other side of the coin, if interstellar travel were so ubiquitous, who’s to say all aliens would behave in such hands-off ways? Maybe any aliens that would visit Earth would be the equivalent to rednecks driving out in to the woods to shoot squirrels. Or in a more innocuous analogy, bird watching without binoculars.

I think people are saying such extreme things because it IS that far for some this day and age. We ARE at the last option in some cases,
I would hope anyone saying as much keeps it at a case by case basis, but it is purely ignorance that drives you to think it is not true for anyone.

History proves that naive view … very naive. Should the US never joined in the war? Should the Poles and French simply rolled over to the Nazis? You seem to be saying yes, which is simply pathetic beyond ignorance.

Yea, true. There are also plenty of external DNS servers, so pretty hosed anyways without controlling the devices they use directly.

DuckDuckGo doesn’t hide your IP. Your IP is a fundamental networking number used to route traffic to your computer. It can also change for many home internet service providers over time, so it’s a bit stupid of Reddit to use them, though they might be using more advanced fingerprinting mechanisms and merely saying IP.

Oh, so EVERYONE who fights in a war is a murderer? Nobody was the good guys in ANY conflict that involved death?
Your ignorance is astounding.

Wrong. Completely wrong. Look up “honor killings”. Then learn that it is legal and condoned in some places.

Learn nuance. They’re speaking to the Paradox of Tolerance, not calling for a blind genocide…

Not to back up any specific beliefs/statements from OP, but the Paradox of Tolerance does exist. The woefully intollerant should not be tolerated. It just depends on how you “don’t tolerate” them that determines how upsetting of a response someone has.
For example, just literally disenfranchising them might be enough … or at least could have been. Though after the intolerant gain enough power, there remains very, very few functional options. It’s literally all of the lessons that came out of WW2…
“first they came for the socialists…”

- Comment on The window for a convincing UFO video has closed 3 weeks ago:
Nahh, any species able to come close to interstellar travel would be able to observe us from afar. We can already take good data on other planets’ atmospheres. It’s not going to be too much longer (probably still past our lifetimes, but) before we can take spy satellite quality photos of the surface.
Sure, some alien species might prefer to be more hands-on, but I’d hope they’d also recognize the destructive power humans have and stay away; It’s a lot easier to break something than to invent it, and few things remain even recognizable after being hit by bigger military weapons. A lot of older movies/media relied on that fact to make the other thing seem so fantastically strong. Like the alien ship shrugging off a nuke in Independence Day.

Not that JK rowling deserves the benefit of the doubt (definitely not), but teenagers and many children would definitely do such a cruel thing without understanding why it’s so cruel.

I mean, hating on Nintendo is a good idea, but their games distinctly do not suck (at least most of them). They only suck in so far as you have to pay Nintendo in some form to legally acquire and play them.
