Even if it only allows you to interact electronically it’ll be super cool.

There’s this implication that the same number of people required for reform are required for Revolution and that is not necessarily the case. Revolution can include a large majority of people, but if it did, it’s more likely that a relatively peaceful revolution would be able to take place. Violent revolution is typically thrust upon people. Not everyone will want to or is equipped to be able to do a revolution. It’s not like every American colonist was behind the American revolution. Many were loyalists, many fled, and many did fuck all and watched it happen around them. Some did a little, some did a lot.

All that really required is enough people organized to fight off the people who would fight to keep the current state alive.

I’ve quit vaping cold turkey for a couple years at a time twice. Ended up getting readdicted when I decided to get really drunk and people were smoking cigs around me. Currently like 2 months into this current relapse and I think I’ll try to quit again after this disposable bullshit runs out.

Both times I quit, it required chewing like insane amounts of gum for a couple of months until the intense need went away. I still can’t watch someone smoke, even in a tv show, without feeling this clawing need to take an inhale from the back of my throat.

I use to before I had to get a new job. Now I’m just trying to settle in to a rhythm before I start again. Being sober is clown shit

Creators still have access on the backend to their like/dislike ratios. Many creators have already come out and confirmed that the extension is completely off base. Not sure what the mechanism is for inflating the counts, but it’s confirmed that it absolutely does not mean shit a lot of the time

You already admitted your title sucked, but your title alone is worthy of a ban imo. Idk about permanent if you’re willing to to take some criticism, but writing off the rest of your post as going “I guess the title was a little inflammatory” tells me you’re more interested in justifying your pov.

In my experience, a lot of these dudes are also incredibly aware of how their politics are perceived in general and don’t espouse them as blatantly as someone from an older generation might.

Being someone masc presenting at work, I’ve had several instances where I ended up alone with other young male coworkers and was subjected to outpouring of misogynistic nonsense when they thought they have someone who was on their side and wouldnt report them.

And whats more crazy is I’ve never been close to any of these people outside of a work environment and never discussed anything remotely personal at all. They genuinely just thought “here’s another male, they’ll agree with me”. Mostly millennial more than gen-z if that matters to anyone.

For more personal anecdotes about the older generation thing. I’ve had two older like gen-z bosses who just blatantly pointed out women’s bodies they were eyeing while we were walking into work with like a crowd of people. Boss dynamics make it also different but it just also feels like younger dudes wouldn’t be as blatant idk.

Like all discourse there’s yappers who are sometimes a little too extra, but obviously in the case of a teenager (who just graduated highschool) and someone who is in their late twenties (brain fully developed for years now) there is a major gap in terms of maturity and understanding.

Now obviously things are malleable and I’m not saying get the pitchforks out for a gap of 22 and 26 necessarily, but it’s fairly well established that brains aren’t fully developed until about the mid 20s, so I think we should consider that carefully when discussing.

And if you are dating around the legal age (18, 19, 20) and you aren’t also like college age at most, imo that always screams “I would go lower but the law won’t let me”.

Once someone is in their mid to late 20s, there’s definitely still the possibility of power dynamics at play with someone significantly older for money, connections, or experience reasons, but I think at that point you are basically universally considered a fully matured adult and probably have the wits to go around and do whatever you like.

“How can you tell maturity from age”.

I said it above with the brain development but, but I think that’s crazy to just leave that out there with no conditionals. Like it’s universally accepted that a 5 y/o is less mature and less equipped to understand shit than a 10 y/o and so on and so forth. Like again obviously it’s a spectrum a bit, but peoples brains are literally not finished developed until they are years into adult hood and they (mostly young women) regularly get taken advantage of by older people who know how to take advantage of younger people.

There’s like a million cases of 18 - early twenties women who spend years with an older partner building a life and then grow into realizing that they were taken advantage of and manipulated.

Life is completely meaningless in and of itself. Even if humanity unfucked itself, we have little chance of escaping this rock and we will all die at some point when our star starts to burn out or something else.

I think a lack of meaning is way more freeing. Could you imagine being born and having a purpose? I feel like it would be akin to servitude. Constantly feeling forced to fulfill some grand purpose that you had no choice in.

Instead you can find your own purpose with the very short amount of time you are given to experience sentience.

Never seen redscarepod, but occasionally been linked to their subreddit and it seems like a bunch of terfs.

Way more c++ than I would have expected.

My life as a teenage exocolonist

Yeah should just need to update your app

Shit I don’t know many places that don’t look like this. This is home 😭

You’re amazing for this. Thank you so much

Uhh both I guess. Mostly support, less compression though.

not Luigi

Sounds like something a Luigi would say

Oh this is my first time here so I had no idea even lol.

Anyway, you seem to be in the know. Do you have any recommendations on a split keyboard? My keyboard happens to have shit the bed recently so I am in the market for one anyway

I don’t know what I would call these. I have pretty generic wrist braces I bought online. I swap it up because they can become irritating in their own way after a while. Basically covers everything but the fingers and thumb and have metal pieces to prevent movement. I wear them at night and parts of the day depending on what I’m doing. I’ve been considering getting some wraps for when I don’t want something super clunky on me.

Yeah pedals might be a new purchase for me. It’s my mouse hand that really sucks. I had a NCS done showing carpal tunnel in both hands, but my mouse hand literally lost all feeling in it at one point. Just straight up couldnt move it.The other hand just tingles a lot. Since my surgery I haven’t had a recurrence of that level of numbness, but it still sucks a lot worse than my other hand.

So anyway, I want to get a couple of pedals I can use to mimic left click and right click.

Yeah it’s basically my profession. I’ve been considering getting one, but I use dictation if I need to do typing mostly at this point. I’m not a writer, so I don’t have to be the speediest.
