And that's by design.

What do you do with the person who is sadistic and sociopathic in their disdain for other human life?

Sounds like a case for a mental institution. Why murder them?

It was a joke, playing with a comment person I replied to made later.

Carlin is fucking dead. Who cares what he might think?

It's a supposed to be an amusing parallel with events people used to read about in history books. King is just a placeholder for someone with power, and if this person is perceived as weak, people down below in hierarchy might challenge that person. You are welcome.

Like, I’m a male, but if I was born female I think my biggest “annoyances” would be the expectations society would have on me, and it would just be (probably much) harder to go against them.

More or less what I told my friend word for word when we talked about it. There are people out there making a completely different experience in regard of the relation between their biological sex and their gender identity.

The vibe, you say… that’s interesting, I’d be curious to see if I ever experience something like that.

An example would be, I'm not very good at making close male friendships since I find it difficult to be open with other dudes and it was really easy to connect with her. But also just the general feeling - at least with me, I have a different one in a purely guys setting, in mixed one or just with women.

Sorry to disappoint you. So you are judgmental and somehow thin skinned - best combo.

Honestly I doubt that.

Not sure why I would lie, but feel free to not believe me. Maybe I'm just lucky, I had three macbook pros and the only problem I had was a battery dying on one, but it was close to where I needed a new one anyway. And I need my hardware to be reliable and the conditions I use it are rather suboptimal (live events). Never turned off on me or died during a gig. I had a windows machine from a venue once - it started updating 10 minutes before the gig.

Like I don't care about the brand, I have a cheap android phone because it gives me exactly what I need. Just happened that apple produces a device that fits my needs. If I ever see anything that fits my bill but is cheaper, I would take it in a second. I don't have any brand loyalty. Switched from olympus, to nikon to sony - if you into photography you will get it.

You are ok with people who repair macbooks but not with people who own macbooks, the plot thickens.

I'm not your kid, pal.

Must be great to live a simple in a simple world where you are always right.

Love that you yourself used a youtube link. I find it very interesting how judgmental people almost always put themselves outside the measures they apply to other people.

Not the companies the users of their products.

Don't get people that upset by using microsoft or google products. It something about apple that makes people quite unhinged.

Weak king, so the local lords smell the opportunity to gain power, tale as old as time.

They wont, we have pretty good data that rehabilitation is a rather good way to prevent recidivism. It helps if the society is in general build in a more social way. But sure there are some people who can't be reintegrated into society and have to be kept in hopefully humane way separated from society, we do the same with extrem forms of mental illness.

If someone is eminent danger to others and there is no other option, it's ok to kill them to in my book. But no it's not ok to torture people at al. But I make a difference between torture and imprisonment: since I think prisoners deserve humane conditions and rehabilitation should be the goal, prison should not be like torture. If your prison is torture you doing it wrong.

If they are danger to others, sure.

No? I care that I have reliable piece of hardware that is physical sturdy, that I don't have to inform myself on different hardware configurations before buying but just look at my budget and buy the one I can afford, I care about the way fonts are displayed, I care a lot about magsafe since it saved my laptop so many times, I care about the touch pad - since I even do 3d work with it and forgot how to use a mouse.

Why is it so difficult to understand that people have different priorities? Like I can see, how repair ability might be important for someone, not everyone is like me.

Also in more than a decade I didn't have to replace anything.

Your concept of gender sounds alright. I would just disagree with the term prefer, if you think about yourself and your gender - there is just a way you express your gender that is no really conscious. So I personally would say: that if your gender expression and identification is closer to your biological sex you that is called cis and if your gender expression and identification is closer to the opposite biological sex that's called trans.

Kinda, I guess? It’s still not there because I know there’s people who don’t feel Gender Dysphoria for their current sex but only Euphoria for another, but you could say feeling like something “could be better” is still feeling “something wrong”, in a sense.

Interesting view. I feel like I'm the wrong person to discuss this with, since I'm also neither trans or religious - so we kind of like two fish talking about the desert in this regard. But from my talks with trans people that is not how they experience their existence. But I might have something to bring the concept of being trans more closer to you - in your thoughts you projection of yourself aligns with your biological sex - imagine it would not. Imagine in your thoughts and dreams you have different gender than the one your biology suggest.

Yeah, it’s definitely the best way, but I don’t really know any trans person and I don’t think there’s any in my area, or at least none who came out.

I can recommend contrapoints, she has also a video on trangsgender ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdvM_pRfuFM ) and there are interviews out there were she talks more about her personal experience. She is rather philosophical so you might like it.

For me personally, I had no strong opinion on trans people - besides that I didn't really understood it from personal experience point of view, since my gender seems not that important to me - I experience myself mostly just as my self, but I guess that's the cis experience and that everyone should do what they want as long as they are not hurting others. Than I worked together with a trans girl on a few projects and we became friends and the interesting part for me was, that from the beginning I had the vibe with her I have around women. Which helped me to put my thoughts around that topic into places.
