Trump Derangement Syndrome is absolutely real: 33% of Americans clearly suffer from it.

Ok, so my boring take on this: I think the word privilege is overused. In my mind there is a basic level of human decency everyone should be treated with. If you are treated above and beyond that, you have some privilege. Situations like the one mentioned in this post (to my mind) don't speak to a lack of privilege, but to the presence of oppression.

It's not fair, it sounds so plausible!

Also, from what I understand, we wouldn't see it coming (as the decay would be spreading at the speed of light), and everything would be over before our senses could ever detect anything out of the ordinary.

I mean, honestly, I don't think people protesting Democrats because of the genocide were what caused Dems to lose. I honestly believe it was because the Dems refused to acknowledge that times are hard for non-billionaires. That being said, anyone who voted for trump thinking he'd be better is an absolute fool.

Uh, do you want to explain to this guy what a species is, or do I have to?

The reason I dislike this comment is it characterizes the work of many different people as "don't care." I would bet money that there are people who work on fediverse projects who care very deeply about UX but have to settle because they have day jobs.

Buy a gun, I guess?

Wait, are you saying people would lie on 4chan???

But seriously, yeah, people don't seem to realize that people tend to want to pick the path of least resistance. If someone really is trans I have to believe it's because who they are is so at odds with the expectations of society.

Edit: added a qualification because I am not trans

Yes, fucking sell snes games built in a small emulator. Done. This is why I hate people going to "business school" they don't know how any one business actually works they just enshitify everything

You could seriously text without looking at your phone screen. It was awesome!

I've often joked that Jesus didn't redeem humans in the eyes of God, he redeemed the Hebrew god in the eyes of western culture.
