  • That's the real reason why he compares it to abortion. To trivialize it. To make the word meaningless.

    Everything is free speech. Everyone is Hitler. Every action is treason. And so people stop paying attention to real warnings.

  • Have you tried different distros? Some hardware is supported better by different forks. I myself have an odd situation with an old laptop that got weird Bluetooth audio issues on stock Ubuntu, but having swapped it over to mint (which is supposedly just Ubuntu under the hood!) it works flawlessly.

  • I doubt most of them listen to him at all. They listen to Fox or Newsmax or whatever social media, who only cherrypick the fragments that sound vaguely coherent, and conversely only played the pieces of Biden's speeches that were incoherent. They either don't realize or don't care that they're not looking at the whole picture.

  • Fewer legal immigrants doesn't mean fewer workers, it just means fewer people being paid above board. That extra money doesn't go to union members, it goes to stock buybacks and CEO packages. The more of a company's workforce is part of the union, the stronger the union's negotiating position, and THAT'S how unions get more money for their members.

  • Immigrant labor is actually cheaper when immigration is tightly controlled, at least it is in the US where "restricted" really just means more illegal immigrants rather than fewer overall. When you let people in legally, they're documented, unions can actually reach out to them, and they are protected by things like minimum wage.

    Illegal immigrants are not.

  • I don't think this is a particularly good take. Inclusivity IS much more important today than it was to people even 10 years ago. The real issue is that being woke is GOOD! It's crazy that people have twisted it around, like shutting our eyes to the world's problems (being "asleep") is somehow the right way to be.

  • The geographical argument for Russia wanting to take Ukraine is nonsense BECAUSE of the nuclear threat. Having a physical buffer zone or whatever is complete nonsense in an era where anyone who poses a real existential threat can simply be nuked out of existence and start the apocalypse. A few thousand kms of extra land does exactly zilch to change the calculus for the West starting a war with Russia. Russia wants Ukraine because it wants to make more money, and no other reason.

  • It's been a while since I've seen the movie, but wasn't the woman in charge of the humans pretty dang villainous? She had a motive, sure, but was pretty unreasonable in the face of evidence she was doing harm to everyone

  • I enjoy the idea that some shitass mason hated whatever king hired him, built all the stairs as quickly and poorly as possible, and then to save his ass later had to be all "oh hmm yes the stairs? That's a feature actually" and somehow it winds up catching on
