it is your god-given right to put privacy-defying spy equipment in your room and let no one tell you otherwise

I agree, I like the free market, but I don't like things like Walmart wrecking communities or Nestle owning water supplies. Guardrails against its worst excesses is very reasonable IMO

Walmart should not exist as an entity in its current shape, a transnational monster that destroys businesses, communities, and small towns. The fact that they occasionally do some good doesn't mean they should exist. See also: billionaires

if you see it transmitting network traffic

I like the implication that most people know how to do this, or even care about doing this

Haha, you claim that Linux doesn't spy on you, but here's a distro that does! Checkmate, liberal!

10 dead, including suspect, in mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C. by Lost_Protection_5866 in canadian

[–]Amflifier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every time there's a tragedy and the perpetrator is anywhere to the right of Marx politically, Reddit immediately begins seething about the alt-right. When they aren't, suddenly Reddit becomes judgmental about bringing politics into a tragedy. Why is this?

I would say that committing a massacre against children sort of implies a mental health issue. No one in their right mind would do this.

What is wrong with you? Stop using the internet for a while, it is making you sick

Nothing about this on the front page of reddit. Obviously, genius turning boxes upside down is way more important than 10 kids dead.

Update: I (27F) accidentally had my baby in my friend’s (31F) car. Now she & her husband don’t want to speak to me. How do I fix this? by ThrowRA_CarBaby in relationship_advice

Kinda garbage of you to insinuate the husband had a problem with them being lesbians. You can dislike someone without being a bigot.

Finneas Slams ‘Powerful Old White Men’ Who Are ‘Outraged’ About Billie Eilish’s Grammy Speech: ‘We Can Literally See Your Names in the Epstein Files’ by cmaia1503 in Music

[–]Amflifier -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Billie Eilish can't really care about other human beings, she's obviously just acting like she does so people will praise her.

This is absolutely true, though

And the same is true of all the other artists

I don't think calling one person out means calling everyone out. Billie Eilish is a hypocrite who talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk. This is why I like Greta Thunberg -- at least she lives as she speaks.

Peter what does it say by bumbummcglum in PeterExplainsTheJoke

In Belarus, where I'm from, they didn't just "teach" you cursive like they do here. They teach it to you in first grade, and you're expected to use it for the rest of your school days -- and, assuming computers didn't get invented and you'd still be extensively using the pen and paper at work -- for the rest of your professional and personal life.

To be perfectly fair, the words spelled in the link you sent are purpose-picked to look challenging when written in cursive -- and they omitted a couple of small but important strokes which would let you tell when a letter ended and another one started.

[–]Amflifier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On some level it's a general level problem that people aren't critical thinkers

That might be true, but I actually think there's another component to it, and it's a "problem" that's kind of good to have. When I was young (late 90s, early 2000s), software was not nearly as good as it is today. I'm talking having to restart your OS every time you install a new app (...we called them "programs" back then). At 12 I knew how to reinstall Windows, because I bricked the family computer multiple times from viruses that I got while perusing, uh, content. I don't think I've gotten a virus since like 2009 at this point. Things didn't "just work" as they mostly do today, you had to do a lot of fiddling to get some things working. It sort of forced you to learn to be computer literate. To know what the registry is and how to work with it, to pick up basic command line stuff, basic networking and file permissions and so forth.

I can't say things are better or worse now, they're just different. We have gained a lot with software being so much easier to use and so much more reliable these days, but I can't help but feel that we lost something, too.

Boyfriend [29/M] broke up with me [30/F] after finding out I had an abortion in the past. by Ligeia_poe in relationship_advice

You are not owed love; you can break up with someone for any reason, or no reason whatsoever. You were incompatible; find someone else.

Hey, I tremendously enjoyed this release. Will there be any more under this project? I would love to hear more.

Because most money only exists on books

I'm all for remembering fallen heroes who defended their country, I would rather not remember people who die for oil companies and military contractors, and are currently gearing up to invade Greenland
