Maybe just think about it for like a full minute…

What do you think happens when there are millions of people living in squalor under fascist rule within driving/walking distance of another country’s borders?

Hah [insert snarky, patronizing comment here]

You just helped me realize all the people that make a big deal out of getting monthly “security” updates for their phones are probably just dumb teenagers!

I hate mandatory updates with a fiery passion

Glad it wasn’t too bad for you/y’all.

Unfortunately, I wiped my computer Thursday night before our company mentioned anything. lol. I ended up finding out about the issue on Lemmy/Reddit. My company didn’t send anything out until this morning - which I still find insane, my laptop crashed and started looping around 7p (took them like 12 hours).

My laptop just rebooted while I was working so I assumed some program I’d installed caused it (explorerpatcher). I tried everything, safe mode, system restore, uninstall updates. I figured the only option left was to reinstall windows. Done it plenty of times on my personal PC

Oh well, lesson learned. Shit’s totally fucked now. It won’t even connect to the Internet. lol. Definitely a Monday problem though

It certainly could mean something, but unfortunately it seems like it’s mostly just used for advertising things to… certain people

Good thing back in the day there were probably very few cult leaders…

Does anyone wonder about how the story of Jesus being plagiarized from the Egyptian myth of Horus affects the narrative about the Jesus that supposedly lived and died a century earlier? You know the one that happened to have incredibly important political value for the established leaders of the time?

No? Me either. Praise Horus!

I figured it’s due to using a vpn or ad blocker or something

Thanks for sharing your POV. It’s definitely the first time I’ve heard something that radical about dogs, which are basically the most beloved living thing in the US, but I can somewhat understand where you’re coming from.

I’d definitely support making it more difficult to own a dog, but mostly because many of the dog owners I’ve met are borderline abusive to their pets (I’m mainly thinking of neglect here). I don’t think I could ever support a ban on entire breeds. That’s where it starts to seem crazy to me. Make it a felony to own a dog that bites someone or something but don’t make it a felony to simply own the dog. We don’t even have such laws for people that own guns or swords and surely those lead to more deaths/injuries than dogs.

Idk why you think I’m upset. I’m more shocked than anything.

I would think most people tend to support conservation of different animals and whatnot, except for maybe mosquitoes (and even then I’d be hesitant). It’s also blowing my mind that you’re heavily upvoted. I had no idea some of y’all thought this way.

That said, I’m just going to assume I don’t fully understand what you’re saying since it seems so batshit crazy to me. It’s clear this isn’t really an honest, open dialogue anyway, and that’s totally fine

Yeah they’re here too. I think there’s a huge overlap in the demographics of reddit, this site, and really the entire Internet - white American dudes over ~35 . I’ve learned a lot about these people this demographic during my time on the web (mainly from places like reddit)

This seems nuts. Is this not an insane opinion? You want entire dog breeds to go extinct? What are your thoughts on that one governor lady? lol

Sure but the house was clearly divided. That’s data that conflicts with your main premise, no?

Does this recent vote affect your opinion at all?

“nice” people

You can just not tip them, you don’t have to assume they’re out to get you and spread that cynical bs like it’s based on anything. It’s just virtue signaling with shitty virtues

Honestly, I worry for the people who are cynical and how they’re going to deceive themselves by assuming everyone wants to manipulate and scam them

No one said that.

That said, it is a fact that there’s never been so much support for Palestinians

'questioned"

Did I?

Maybe, but a better question might be was George Washington a terrorist? What about Nat Turner?

Maybe, but I’m kinda on their sides

Oh well that’s convenient
