Pathetic. What at embarrassment. Go paint something gold, fuckwits.

Yep. Personally my first choice is the t490. Theres so many in great condition.

I like to imagine the IT debt in some office building buying and hording t490s just to be sure they don’t lose their budget next year.

Paradoxically, the paradox of tolerance is most often cited in the course of branding someone as “intolerant” and thereby excusing your intolerance of them.

Its a problem of semantics. Who really is sufficiently intolerant to be intolerable?

You’ve kind of blown my mind with this.

I think there’s a number of different perspectives that can explain conservatism but this model can explain a lot of behavior.

In particular this part:

Everything that they consider normal and typical from their own limited experience should be the default

The basic truth conservatives can’t concede is that we are all better off when we are all better off.

If looking down on someone makes you feel better about yourself, then you want to hold people down so you have someone to look down on.

Because YouTube doesn’t engage in anything like that ofc.

Somehow the word “socialist” has really bad branding.

LOL. Electring Trump has corrected loads of flaws. Sure.

LOL.

Its hard to imagine the feels could be worse than republicans.

It seems like every other day one of them is detained on sexual assault charges.

Classic Republican campaign: get the left to fight amongst themselves.

There’s some very bizarre phrasing here.

“It’s hard to find a girlfriend while being x” implies some kind of entitlement, as though women should be shared out equally by some women dispensing system.

He’s really just saying “women do not find x appealing”.

What facts is he referring to here?

Do you really actually believe that republicans really actually have a sinister plan to breed more slaves ?

It just seems kind of absurd to me. I’m sure there’s a few nutters that do want to breed slaves but not as a generally held premise.

I also think there are already sufficient slaves for whatever nefarious plan one might have.

In a bleak dystopian future where you have some kind of over-class that lives in fancy domes and the rest of us toil away in the wasteland, how many slaves or under-class do you need? Fewer than currently exist I imagine.

This debate is completely lost on me.

Someone was trying to explain that the reason she sends her kids to a private school is because she doesn’t want them to learn about sex when they’re too young.

I don’t get it.

I genuinely don’t see the problem with kids knowing everything their curious minds want to know about reproduction.

She said they’re too young to process it. I think she means they’re too young to process the weird moral overlay she wants them to adopt.

I think that part is just the authoritarian power structure. Everyone depends on him for their own slice, so keeping him in control is in their own interests.

Letting the guy sit around doing nothing for the last 15 years was the abuse.

Its not “cold turkey”, because hes had 15 years to work on it. If he hasn’t, then it’s kind of left over Turkey from last weeks thanks giving which has already been re-heated several times.

The best time to kick him out was 15 years ago. The second best time is now.

LOL. You do you but this sounds like a nightmare to me.

edit: it’s not just “becoming tech support person”, but becoming the default person to blame for everything.

All jokes and snarky witticisms aside, the correlation between sex crimes and conservative politics is remarkable.

If that’s FOMO then pretty much every decision could be considered FOMO. I decided to put my shoes on this morning because I was worried everyone else wearing shoes would enjoy the advantages there-of and I would miss out.
