I’ll appeal to whatever I think is gonna keep your ass alive.
I’m going to tell you that people who try to commit suicide often end up unable to use their own facilities, and wind up trapped in a wheelchair unable to move or talk or care for themselves - so even if they still want to kill themselves, they’re trapped forever in hell until they die of old age instead. (Appeal to the chance you’ll fuck up)
I’m going to tell you of all the people you will hurt, and all the things that will suffer when you’re gone. (Appeal to Emotion, Appeal to disappointing others, etc)
I’m going to tell you that you’re loved, I’m going to try to stop you. Life is a wonderful, fantastical lottery that you’ve somehow managed to win, and I’m not going to let you throw it away. (Threats if I have to…)
I will use every fallacy in the book to try and keep you here with us. Alive.
People aren’t idiots. If they don’t know what it means they can look it up or ask for help.
Flip that. People are idiots. If they don’t know what something means, they won’t look it up. Not Desktop Linux users today but, definitely normies if Linux ever comes on a system they buy in the future.
I know basically saying this is some Nazi Germany style shit always turns into hyperbole, and isn’t taken seriously. This is the kind of shit that leads to genocides and authoritarian nations

The phrase father specifically denotes a man. A transgender woman should be referring to herself as a mother; shouldn’t they? So she is no longer a father to her children, but rather a mother, right?
No, because for others to understand it, it must follow some sort of logic.
If people all have different rules for what offends them, then those willing to learn, can never hope to ever achieve understanding. If you can never allow others to achieve understanding, then you’re always going to be a victim and acceptance will never be achieved.
If you can’t deadname a transgender woman their male name, then it goes to follow that they wouldn’t consider themselves a “father” and doing so would cause the same offense.
I mean, just stop being offended over that kind of shit constantly and I won’t have to worry about it. Stop calling people intolerant when they use the wrong name. Stop attacking the people who are trying to learn, and maybe they will.
Normal, people don’t get offended if you forget their name. You need a set of rules that follows the stereotype. Then people can learn the stereotypical rules, and be fine.
Manifest v3 has an upper limit of rules that can be implemented, so if you don’t see how supporting it is a problem, you’re blind.
Supporting v3 and v2 inevitably leads to v2 support being dropped. Firefox has done this plenty in the past with the goal of “cleaning up the code base”. Taking care of 1 code path > Taking care of 2 code paths.
It’s simple on the face of it, and all results in less control for web users.
And that’s exactly what it should be. Use the least amount of screen space to give me the information and buttons I need to navigate, and get the fuck out of my way. Provide a way to use plugins to alter and block ads effectively, and that’s literally all I need.
lol I love the ‘anti commercial ai license’ footer that you think will do anything. Such a boomer move! Got any funny jokes to forward to me over email?
Surgical castration is quite effective. It removes the ovaries/testes which produce testosterone/estrogen. Problem is, from that point on, you probably need to take supplements, because I’m no doctor but I think you need those hormones for proper bone density control, etc.
You know they are, but legitimately I’m pretty sure a large percentage of them actually have solvable/manageable mental illnesses. I’m starting to pity them more than anything now.
My pity isn’t just for them, but for the families destroyed by the rhetoric and the love lost between people.
People are so divided now on everything, everyone’s caught up in trying to apply labels to themselves so they can be further divided into categories and discriminated against.
I’m really tired of the labels. Republican, Democrat, Right Wing, Left Wing, Fascist, Socialist, blah blah blah… these labels just help external influencers drive that wedge a little better.
Can’t we all just be human and start to talk to one another? I think we’ll find we have more in common than not. The only way to bring people over to your side is to befriend them, and slowly work on it. The fighting just causes everyone to dig their heels in so much more.
They are meaningless words, because the views of a person are far more nuanced than that. But by labeling yourself as something, people immediately get to start assuming what your views are before getting to hear them from you instead. That’s the big problem with society today - everyone wants to be something unique, because we’re all so connected now that nobody feels like they stand out. But by adding labels to yourself, you just paint a target on your back for people to aim for, because with that brand new label, people get to make assumptions more easily. You get to be divided off from the “rest” of society, and put in a special bucket and targeted.
It’s about 300mb lighter than KDE in my experiences. On 2gb of RAM, that makes a difference. Sure, going LXDE is gonna be fine too; but it lacks a lot of the polish that XFCE has. I honestly like both for different things.
You’re talking out of your ass. Stuff like this is mild compared to what it takes to trigger that kind of response. Millions of people make comments like these on the daily.
7500 hardcore, actually-directed-enough-to-take-serious threats per year. Now, consider all the maga morons and their constant shit talking across the internet, and it’s easy to extrapolate.
Sorry for being so harsh with my wording; I live in the south, so I’ve gotta deal with a lot of MAGA assholes and it’s kind of ingrained itself into my personality a little. Also, thanks for looking out for me, I know you were just trying to make sure I wasn’t targeted :)
