the ideas people pass around, promote and believe are dumb as fuck there.

I’m curious what you call this, if not inherently stupid?

Calling others gullible while confidently spewing technological ignorance is a level of irony one can only find in these types of technology forums.

They always revert to the mean. People that are not experts, shit talking actual experts. Hell even the slightly informed get talked down to by know nothings who operate on speculation and feelings.

The point is people are really good at exploiting each other and justifying it as for the greater good.

Freedom isn’t necessarily for everyone has also been mentioned throughout time. Slavery has existed all through history.

That doesn’t make it ok but anyone who is an enslavery or aspiring enslaver is going to argue some people want to be slaves.

Removing and restricting the agency of others is never ok. When it’s for economic gain, it’s always exploitation.

humans are generally too lazy.

Sounds miserable. Around here you get 48 hours to clear the sidewalks before the city comes by and does it for you and sends you a bill.

From what I’ve heard the bill from the city is far more expensive than hiring a service.

It’s standard boilerplate in leases that the tenant is responsible for snow removal.

This is a discussion about apple not android.

Pointing out a behavior trend isn’t bullying.

That someone will eventually be a hacker.

You can’t logic people out of an emotional decision. The hatred of Apple runs deep.

They have insanely strong opinions on what other’s choices that it borderline religious.

Except all the posts I see about degoogling start with purchasing Google hardware.

He’s already lost my vote in the primaries. Not that I’m in a state that ever mattered.

But once it’s the general election I’ll still vote blue unless there is a viable alternative which would be awesome but unlikely.

I highly doubt the right is going to put forward anything less than a far right candidate. A centrist is better than a these racist anti science regressives.
