It's called a tower PC for a reason

zea_64 ,

Do you get two empty spaces next to your tower? For maintenance if the lower elements.

You're right, feelings do matter, and this post did not dispute that. It's just that safety matters more.

It saddens me that the default interpretation of this is accusatory and requiring of defense. Not to personally blame you, this is very common and clearly a systemic reaction, but I don't know enough psychology/politics/sociology to understand why, just enough to know it's bad.

But it doesn't say that

zea_64 ,

Indentation implies there's some control structure causing it. Too many control structures nested gets hard to mentally keep track of. 3 is arbitrary, but in general more indentation => harder to understand, which is bad.

Pick something and change it when inspiration strikes. Sometimes you need a big picture view of something to get the right abstractions or even just name things.

Also worth noting, this is not mutually exclusive with other efforts! Keep pressuring the Democratic party, keep protesting, keep boycotting Israel-invested companies!

Oh that's definitely his fault, but you are presented 2 bad options and have chosen the worst one out of principle.

Please be practical. I want the best for Palestine, and unfortunately the best US presidential candidate for them with a chance of winning is Biden. "best" meaning least worst...

Send a message all you'd like, but I'd rather minimize the inevitable damage than say "told you so" while standing and watching everything burn.

I'm not shaming you for not wanting to vote for him, I don't want to either, I'm trying to convince people that voting for him is in Palestine's best interest (better than Trump winning).

zea_64 ,

You have a completely different perspective than I. Yes, the Democratic party is being an ass to voters; yes, I hate them for what they're (not) doing; but I can slightly affect the odds to be slightly better for Palestine, so I will.

You can send a message that you're not a pawn, but they don't care, or at least in 4 years it won't matter anymore. If you want the best for Palestine, analyze your options for what's best, of which giving up and stepping back is not a very good one.

Subs are fine, but fascists probably don't like being called that so it's a decent insult. It's bad on their terms because their terms are stupid.

I read it as a polite way of saying "can you ever talk about literally any other topic?"

trans men ⊆ men

trans women ⊆ women

nonbinary people ⊈ men + women

me ∈ your mom

I'm not heterophobic, but I think it's the parents' choice when their child learns about straight people. Schools should not be forcing the straight agenda on us!

My nonbinary kid asked me "mommy, why are these parents different?" pointing to a book read in school containing a straight couple. I was furious! How am I supposed to explain this to them?! They're not old enough to understand! Then they showed me a flashback scene, showing one of the parents being named and assigned a sex in the hospital, "Mommy, why didn't he [the baby, parent in the story] change his assigned gender?". Heterosexual and cis??? This is just forced diversity! Now my child is asking me about what that's like, but I don't want them getting sucked into that lifestyle! What if they start to think sex-segregated bathrooms are a good idea, or make assumptions about other people's genders? Or what if, and this possibility kills me, they transition to attack helicopter (AKA cis)?!

They're even making straight and cis friends, who I feel are a bad influence on them. And those friends are explaining to them what it's like to be straight or cis! I need the woke teachers to step in and stop their terrible influence, or just outright ban even the mention of straight or cis! The cis kids are saying they feel othered in HRT class, and my kid's trying to make them feel welcome?! You don't help the worthless, I mean, troublesome people, they get what they deserve from our Gaylord Satan!

Massive /s of course. I considered bringing in the idea of forced transition but that felt like taking it too far, even for an obviously sarcastic post, though it would've been an accurate satire for transphobes.

Yeah, how am I supposed to publicly leak my S3 bucket now?

zea_64 ,

Well I don't identify as a furry, but if people start meowing it'd be rude of me not to join in :3

zea_64 ,

We have world-class propaganda! 🦅🇺🇸

zea_64 ,

Criticizing Biden doesn't imply the person criticizing him won't vote for him. Let us criticize and pressure him to do better.

zea_64 ,

I was scared at what happened to me when I got really overstimulated, but I didn't do anything to avoid overstimulation because I didn't know it was an issue for me.

I also had no coping strategies for executive dysfunction because, again, I didn't know it was a problem for me, I was just conditioned to think I'm lazy.

zea_64 ,

Especially in contrast to "lesbian" rather than "women". Male expectations suck in this society, sorry for you having to deal with that 🫂

zea_64 ,

How do you feel about expectations of men in our society?
