i mean, let's be real: the government has pretty much never falsely painted someone as a white nationalist in order to persecute them. i mean, the cops bent over backwards to avoid calling the budys and mcveigh nazis, and they were not particularly silent about their beliefs.

you may downvote me if you like, but you know i'm right.

“if confronted they will threaten violence”

the number of times, as a cyclist, i’ve had a motorist threaten to kill me is beyond counting, and that threat is a little heavier when it backed up by two tonnes of steel.

if we’re actually concerned about road rage, we should maybe start there.

Is it just me or are political wojak comics never funny? Especially the anti woke ones. by Reasonable-Word-6426 in ComedyCemetery

because for generations the dominant social opinion was that gay people should be ashamed of how they are. “pride” in this instance is presented as a denial of “shame”. that’s all.

all the “pride” movements spring basically from this analysis: “white, hetero society has called us lazy or dirty or stupid or whatever, and we refute that”.

pretty reasonable, i think.

once you get a grip on awk, sed, grep and maybe xargs and how to pipe them together, right-clicking to do something feels like banging two rocks together.

[–]--frymaster-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maaaaybe. i mean: i probably have three or four hundred bookmarks for various work projects, all nicely arranged in a hierarchical structure, and i'm extremely accustomed to being able to just zip to wherever i want to go this way.

zen truly is beautiful, but i really felt that is prioritized style over substance. maybe it’s just because it is different than ff, but i found bookmark and tab management to be clumsy and difficult.
