That's big of you, mate. It's not easy to admit to mistakes on the Internet, and I appreciate you taking the time.

That "rare use" you describe is something I associate with Tumblr mostly.

Curses, you've got a point...!!

"this would work if you did something completely different" lmao

I wonder if he means that in the sense of "putting you in jail is only going to empower your frankly rabid base of supporters. I need to avoid even the slightest hint of a mistrial so we can put you in prison for good."

FYI l: That's the CEO of Arrowhead, who made the game.

Probably, to be honest. Though of course that doesn't speak to the quality of its content.

I can't remember where I heard this originally, but I subscribe to the belief that you need to maintain the rights of criminals (like voting) to prevent tyranny.

Because if being labeled a criminal is enough to remove your rights, a corrupt government need only declare you one to take your rights away.

It used to be criminal in some parts of the USA for black and white people to intermarry, for example. Imagine losing your right to vote because of who you married.

Well, that's fair. I thought you meant easier to install Linux over an existing Windows 11 install.

Thanks for sharing the source! I had a feeling it was The Reductress, I love their stuff.

It's also people so lost in the sauce they can't see reality in front of them.

Check out this argument I had recently on lemmy. I was saying to someone that voting is important, even if we disagree with Biden on some very important issues, because abstaining is as good as voting for Trump.

And this person, who I think is the owner of the entire instance they're registered on if their username is anything to go by, repeatedly and aggressively insisted that voting can never accomplish anything.

Reviewing their profile showed they're pretty consistent in this belief. They seem to seriously think the ONLY option is violent revolution, and nothing short of that is worth a thing.

I love Linux as much as the next guy, but installing a new OS is not easier than downloading a single program and clicking check boxes. No need to be hyperbolic, Windows is bad enough as it is.

What's the bottom left one?

He's my go-to for tech reviews. He'll happily gush about what he likes, but he isn't shy about what isn't good.

This goes way harder than it has any right to.

Okay.

The man has been leading by example for years. Remember when, during the Obama presidency, he refused to even call a vote on any Supreme Court nominees?

He has shown time and time again that he doesn't care about the unwritten gentleman's rules that the government has been (more or less) abiding by for centuries, and now he's shocked that his party is overrun by people with zero interest in working towards anything other than destruction?

He's a fool and he's dragged us down with him.

A variety of small but useful features. Typing indicator, reactions, read receipts, and larger media limits. I'm sure there's more, that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

Thanks for trying, SatansMaggotyCumFart.

Unimpeachable logic!
