Kick them in the nuts (or the stomach, in case they don't have nuts), because relying on individuals with money to solve our problems is one of our fucking problems.

Fair enough. But I'd rather think of it as a torch that has been passed on and has to be guarded and kept ablaze. Lighting it was the hardest part, but the job's not done.

I know he's the pope and has to talk like that, but free speech is not a "precious gift". It's a hard-won right and "calling for it" is not gonna protect it. I swear to Nonexisto, if this clown gets the credit after the people win the fight, I'm gonna get an aneurism.

Posting an image of a person who is known to everyone as the (suspected) murderer of a capitalist, whom he explicitly murdered for his capitalistic practices, and referring to a distinct but similar set of calitalistic practices is not "a non-violent Luigi post". It's not directly calling for violence, sure. But the connection is pretty clear. If the Right did something like that, we'd probably call it a ((likely intentionally) poorly disguised) dog whistle.

I'm not saying the post is evil and ban-worthy. Which side an action is done for matters. You might say, the ends justify the means. But get your terminology right, and shed the centrists' illusions. And non-violence is an illusion. This is the propaganda theatre of a class war. And Reddit is fighting for the enemy.

Nice. Can I print it, though?

Semi-serious suggestion: Guix or NixOS. They're not break-safe per se, but if they do break something, you can use the OS' previous generations to go back to an operational state. Just... don't let them use the commands that delete older generations.

(Semi-serious because they're both not exactly mainstream and not eactly conventional in their setup.)

Bis wife started screaming after seeing a "profane sticker"? Sounds like an "and then everybody clapped" story to me.

On your own? Not much. You can stop using certain products, save money, and so on. But that's mostly going to help make your individual existence a bit better/less bad. The CEO's aren't gonna give a flying fuck.

But our strength is in our numbers. Get organized. Maybe in a political party, maybe "just" in some sort of collective that helps in an area you care about. Help others in whatever capacity fits your abilities and your situation. And don't expect it to be a quick victory. That will only result in disappointment. As a wise man (?) once so succinctly put it: "Apes together strong."

I heard he likes fishsticks.

No. Like, I appreciate the joke being made, but it just doesn't work.

The story so far: In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

It doesn't matter when exactly it "started". The question should be how we get out of it. Or, more fundamentally, what actually is the problem, fundamentally? Is it a bunch of racists and bigots abusing a corrupt system to inch the US (well, we do have it in Europe too, just not so extreme yet) ever closer to fascism, or is it the underlying system of escalating exploitation and conflict that enables them?

Class collaborationists and reformists.

At the risk of whooshing, what does this have to do with being black or not?

Even if "immortality" is the sucky kind, invulnerability kind of implies that you're immune to the aging process.

You can be whatever you want.

Depending on which deity we're talking, "divine powers" is a no-brainer. Besides that: Immortality, invincibility, siphon powers. Use the time I have (i.e. all of it) to learn unarmed combat and weapon master, and become insanely rich and very intelligent, then invent implants and a powersuit (why would anyone pick those if they're a freebie with immortality), then wait around for others who have picked different powers and siphon off their powers. Since I'm invincible, I can also swallow some plutonium and become radioactive.

So, in conclusion, I would like to be a sci-fi lich.

That's because the concept of biological races has been thouroughly debunked. I will never understand why Anglophones still insist on using the word "race".
