Given the number of times the, er, woke side of things gets blamed for terminology, I think it communicates the sentiment perfectly. When we try using very specific terms like white privilege or toxic masculinity , a great many people obtusely (intentionally in many cases I think) find those terms confusing or assume they mean something different than they do.

You hear “no one is illegal on stolen land” and you know exactly what they are trying to say. Anything more complicated would be too long or end up trying to be specific in a way that would confuse things, IMO.

Cheese is unhealthy for mice.

EndeavourOS is very close to being vanilla arch with sane defaults. I run it on multiple machines and it’s rock solid.

The question you have to ask yourself, though, is this: Do I want to scold white people for their privilege, or do I want to get them on my side to fix it? In my experience, rubbing their noses in it is going to set people’s minds against you.

I think you are making the same mistake they do. You can’t very well get someone to help fix a problem if you don’t let them know the problem exists. Just discussing or explaining white privilege isn’t the same as scolding someone about it. The folks who take it that way are going to take it that way no matter what terms we use, because they don’t want to admit it exists.

I read the headline and thought “this should go in nottheonion.” Imagine my surprise… :D

April 29, 1992 by Sublime has been looping in my head for days.

The only way the dems could fuck this up is if they run on centrist bullshit chasing republican votes, again.

I wish I had any confidence that they learned their lesson after trying that with Kamala. However, I have none.

The only thing ive been going to reddit is to check out what r/conspiracy is up to and im glad to say the tone has been very anti trump lately

From what I can remember of times when I peeked at it before, that’s a pretty big shift.

I’ve heard this before and I don’t mean this to challenge you, but what are the sources on this? Is this well known and documented?

I’m partial to this version:

Yes I was fully expecting the details to be “It was a Republican-sponsored bill in 1992” or similar. It’s just too damn believable.

Needs to be a full page spread in every major newspaper.

I hope every fucking thing he’s stamped his name on gets reversed within days of when he’s out of office.

He’s grown more agitated with news coverage and has failed to find a way to explain why he started the war — or how he will end it — that resonates with a public concerned by American deaths in the conflict, surging oil prices and dropping financial markets. Even some of his supporters are questioning his plan and his overall poll numbers are declining.

I feel like these articles are just feel-good puff pieces for those of us who don’t support trump. Best as I can tell he continues to do whatever he wants and it really doesn’t matter how it sits with laws or judges or congress. Poll numbers certainly don’t matter to him. He stands no chance of being impeached (or convicted if somehow he was.)

You get headlines like this article because it’s what we want to hear, but in the end he just does what he wants.

while liking the old version seems like a uniquely old man thing to do, just hating change for being change

Gnome 3 was a huge paradigm shift. Most people who noped out of Gnome afterwards disliked very specific things about it, not just hating change for being change. This is a really dismissive and kind of insulting take.

It’s not the only tool he has, it’s just the only one he wants to use.

I’ve been using Linux for twenty years. I didn’t use KDE until they declared Plasma 5 ready for primetime. (I hated Plasma 4, and didn’t like the look and feel of KDE 3.5 at all)

Since hopping on with Plasma 5 I have absolutely no interest in anything else. I love KDE Plasma and it just keeps getting better.

That’s me in OP.
