I mostly agree with you, but protections aren’t the same thing as rights. Protections are a one way street, rights are a two way street.

If they’re as smart, communicatable and capable of social responsibilities, then yes. There are some species that may be “differently” smart as humans, but lack a common lanuage and can’t take on shared social responsibilities, so giving them rights is difficult to say the least.

None and I installed an emoji blocked on firefox.

Though previously all such cases used to happen gradually, giving most people enough time to adapt to the changes.

The Luddites would like to have a word with you.

Then post tech news from your country.

You don’t have a learning disability and you don’t belong in the special classes. Don’t trust anyone that says it will be fixed the next year and go to a different high school when they say the classes you want are filled.

He has bragged about never hiring people he thought was smarter then himself.

This is the most likely reason. Companies love reframing their earned hate as bigotry. Alt right goes along with it because it gives them validation.

Right, they’ve been terrible for years. Buying up companies, firing the old guard and pumping out shove ware versions of the games. On the consumer side, broken games, no polish, annual release games that are just reskins of the previous one, DLC/micro transactions, shutting down servers while there’s still a strong playerbase.

If I saw a poll for worst game company in 2013, it would have been an easy pick from me. Nowadays, it would be harder, but only because the other AAA studios have all gotten shittier since then.

Even they knew it was bs. Their supposed confidence in nfts was just them trying to drive the market up so they could unload it on the next sap. They didn’t consider that they were the sap all along. The collapse was faster then crypto because nfts don’t even have a real utility. And yes, crypto does have a utility as currency in nitche communities, but most people treated it like commodity.

Define “culture war bullshit”. Is it having minorities in Hollywood movies or is it complaining about The War On Christmas? Because if “The War On Christmas” is culture war bullshit, I do agree.

That being said, regardless of what you think “culture war bullshit” is, it’s very easier to disengage from it. Less effort then it takes to complain about it even.

Cancelling Storm Front was mistake. It was containment for these people.

You’re not silent and you’re not a majority.

Even if 99 percent of Ayn Rand followers are fuckheads, Jimmy Wales’s actions separate him of them.

It’s also not like YouTube won’t recommend you channels that you unsub from. I had to into a 3rd party channel blocker because it kept recommending me AvE even though I very much don’t want to see that channel anymore.

There’s even more telemetry and built in ads with Win11 over Win10. If they’re so similar otherwise, why would anyone upgrade to Win11?

The other day, I dug out an old scanner to use. No mac drivers ever and no Win10 drivers. Worked on my Mint laptop with no drivers to install.

It’s a sub. Why are you acting like unsubbing is such a terrible, immature response?

There are ways to do that that don’t mean getting on a passenger jet get and spewing out co2. Most of those people don’t leave the tourist areas and only stay long enough to get their Instagram pictures and tiktok videos.

Hell, I can’t even convince my own friends to chat on Discord. They want to drive an hour to me to chat.

Girl in the back, fourth from the left. Could be the angle and hair though.
