Outlaw Country is a musical style and doesn’t actually relate to anything political. It’s a funny pun but not really an example of doublethink. Conservatives who like Rage Against the Machine however…

Unless you’re talking about the exit code of a computer program. Then coming up zero is a good thing.

Absolutely no one should respect a billionaire who fucks over others to slightly see her numbers go up. She didn’t need that money from cheating, but she did it anyways and fucked over everyone else.

To add some concrete numbers. Martha Stewart’s net worth is about $400,000,000 and the insider trading was to avoid losing $40,000 in stock value. In other words, she fucked people over to avoid losing 0.01% of her wealth.

I’m bald.

the rules are clearly presented

I use Voyager. Community rules are hidden unless you specifically go to that community page, open the menu, and select “sidebar”. It’s incredibly easy to miss.

If a community only wants some people posting then a quick fix is to not allow just anyone to post to it.

Ancient Roman satirical poet Juvenal wrote that all people care about are “bread and circuses” over 2,000 years ago and it still applies.

I think it mostly comes down to baby duck syndrome. People don’t like using a package manager for programs on their desktop but are fine using an app store on their phone (which might literally be running linux). People simply expect a desktop computer to work a specific way and when things are in different spots and called different things they get upset. I think it’s changing as more companies bake Linux into their product.

Steam Decks running Linux changes people’s impression of it. If a mainstream company sold desktop computers that came with Linux preinstalled I’m sure its use would skyrocket. It’s not that it’s impossible for the average user to understand, It’s that it’s not the default option.

Michael Cera. He does a good job, but the whole time you’re waiting for him to do his “awkward teenager” character.

The sidebar also says “this is an inclusive community” followed by a rule that excludes 50% of the planet.

The UK has multiple political parties and free democratic elections. Just because the current government passed a law you don’t agree with doesn’t mean the country is authoritarian.

It was sarcasm. I really dislike that the only thing young men will protest about is saving video games.

What do those have to do with my video games?? I just wanna grill game!

“Why should you go to jail for a crime someone else noticed?”

Please don’t judge my sleep schedule, Nagatoro-san!

Plot twist: he has a foot fetish.

Ah yes…that’s why I downloaded them too…

Alright, this is just silly.
