- Comment on Does anyone have tried minecraft java edition on mobile? 9 hours ago:
I run MojoLauncher which runs better than Pojav Launcher. It’s a bit laggy, and the default control map was no good so I had to customise it to be better, but it does work.

I think you can say you want to kill the president, in America at least.

- Comment on do you remember a time when societies were so polarized and shifted so much to the right like today? How long did it last? 1 day ago:
You are pointing out how the world is a terrible place with lots of suffering. I completely agree with you. But in each of these areas, the way things are now is still better than they’ve ever been. They’ve always been bad and horrible, and in most places and times, worse.
- Comment on do you remember a time when societies were so polarized and shifted so much to the right like today? How long did it last? 1 day ago:
That’s just untrue. People live in better conditions today, even just considering social acceptance, and not technology or medicine. Most societies are at least in theory democratic, where people get some input towards the ruler. There are legal protections against slavery, misogyny, homophobia, racism, transphobia, and anti monopolistic agencies that try to temper the worst parts of capitalism. Trade unions have successfully campaigned so that now people work less than they have since the start of the industrial revolution, in unprecedentedly better conditions.
Don’t get me wrong, there’s a long way to go, and many of these things exist a lot more in theory than practice. Child rights, in particularly, are woefully lacking.
However, claiming that the past, at any point, was better for the vast majority of people is the same nostalgic, rose tinted, incorrect thinking that MAGA (when was America ‘great’ the first time?) Republicans fall prey to.
- Comment on TV/MA 'High School' teen drama shows should be set in college and centered around young adults or adults. 1 day ago:
I otherwise agree, but “young adults or adults” seems to imply young adults are not adults, which they are

Evolution does not have a goal, it’s simply the process by which things better at surviving survive
- Comment on Street racers are not criminals 6 days ago:
Being a criminal doesn’t mean that someone did something unethical, just that they did a crime - ie something illegal. However, in this case they are also doing something unethical.

- Comment on Does more expensive phones have better reception? 1 week ago:
Reception is dependent on which bands the phone supports, and which bands your sim contract supports. You can get cheap phones that support all major bands, and the rest is up to the sim

I fail to see how that’s changing his views on a subject during a debate. I already knew he had been killed.
