Yeah hate to say it but I think aromantic was a way for her not to feel guilty about it.

They had a data breach

Leave a tip and also some documentation on how to start a union

I think it’s psychology. When people make politics or certain stances their entire personality, then by disproving those items it’s literally tearing apart their own identity. They are so unable to actually confront this that their brains will believe wild crazy ideas like conspiracy theories because even if it’s insane, they are able to keep their worldview.

Their minds have been so warped to protect their identity that they will believe whatever they need to to be able to keep these views - to the point where it must be true, because if it weren’t true the house of cards would collapse. So when you are arguing with them, you’re not actually going to ever be able to penetrate this, because they will build up whatever they need to in their mind to protect it.

An interesting way to think of this (to borrow from the video below), is that as if becomes it is. Feelings become facts.

Take gay marriage. To a conservative white christian, it means nothing to them logically. 2 separate people are getting married which in no way effects them. However, gay marriage makes them feel as if their straight marriage is less important and the meaning of it has been deluded. To protect this worldview, since it’s impossible for any fact or reasoning to back up their worldview, that as if becomes it is. To them, now gay marriage is diluting their straight marriage and it is less important. It must be. It has to be. If it’s not… then what is their worldview? Their entire personality, their identity is based around these core beliefs. If it’s not actually affecting them… then what is their identity? So their view isn’t based on fact at all, and thus no amount of facts will ever persuade them.

Philosophy Tube did a great video essay on this, and I think it’s completely worth a watch.

Hm something tells me she should be more concerned about lead.

Probably not, as it asks you to get closer and farther, but with how AI is, it’s only a matter of time until someone can get around that. The ID though I’m not so sure about

Left 2 1/2 years ago, whenever I’m forced back because of some tech question I see the constant anger and anxiety in the comments. It may be smaller here but goddamn if it’s not more pleasant

Proxying was added after a bunch of csam attacks, where every instance admin would have to block it themselves. Now with proxying an admin can either block it themselves or the original posting instance can block it.

They got you covered, their network security will ban you and block you from access.

Remember when reddit was about being anonymous?

Ah, the forum equivalent of vaguebooking.

Spouse is on Linux, but because one by one her devices started to switch. Setting up a new gaming pc, oh that’s weird it has Linux. Setting up the new gaming console, and it has bazzite. Suddenly they’re only using linux

Welcome!

P.U.L.S.E.is probably the best live album out there, with Comfortably Numb on it surpassing all of the other versions I’ve ever heard

I feel you exactly the same. I don’t know how my coworkers do it. They can literally get screamed at, called out in a meeting in front of others and it’s like nothing to them. Meanwhile I fight back tears and my voice raises and I panic. In the corporate world that means I’m weak. I’m damn good at my job but in a situation like that I just crumple, and to leadership they don’t look at my projects or outcomes, all they see are those few instances.

It also haunts me years and years later.

OP, important point is that these questions answers typically skew to the very young.

Then the cycle will repeat. They’ll get poorer and be worse off, they’ll blame someone else, we’ll show them this again, and it cycles down. So many Rs never get it, seriously I don’t need these programs, I was voting for you folks to have access to sick days and healthcare. Morons always vote against their own interests

don’t worry though, they’ll still vote in the same lawmakers.

Agree, especially here. engage people. We need more engagement

that’s so shitty, I’m sorry they stole your content. Well, if you ever decide to do one here I couldn’t promise someone wouldn’t do it, but it’d be much less likely

Fair explanation, but don’t get sucked in. I noticed the algo just subtly shifts enough where you don’t notice it at first, and the comment sections are always so angry. Don’t let it happen to you over there
