Cool?

Yeah see, not everything I do is intended to influence something. Sometimes I just stand on my morals for no other reason than they are my morals.

You’re combining the two Kellogg brothers. One thought that pleasure was sin, and that a good diet should be as bland as possible to maintain piety. The other thought his brother’s cereal tasted like shit and was really hard to market and sell, until he added sugar and salt, then subsequently became filthy rich.

No, it’s because teenage boys eat a lot

Assassin’s Creed 14

What the fuck there’s 14 Assassin’s Creed games? Surely they’re gonna run out of historical periods soon. It’s only a matter of time before the announce Assassin’s Creed: Unga Bunga where you just sneak around the forest as a cave man

I’ve been using Pop!_OS for gaming for a couple years now and it’s been great. It’s Ubuntu-derived like Mint, and I haven’t had much difficulty troubleshooting it, since a lot of the stuff on Ubuntu/Mint forums will work for Pop.

It’s a bunch of technobabble loosely related to his harebrained scheme to launch a fuckload of solar powered AI servers into LEO.

They turn a profit by contracting their services out to governments and businesses

That’s just like, openly, demonstrably false. Poor countries greatly benefit from having open borders to wealthier nations, as it removes barriers to bringing that wealth back into those poor countries. Closed borders only serve to keep rich countries rich, and poor countries poor.

Next to no one is fleeing to Mexico for economic opportunity.

You framing it as "fleeing"really drives home your biases. If there were an open border between the US and Mexico, we’d see two-way movement way more often, as it’d be way easier for Mexicans to come to the US seeking economic opportunity, build some wealth, then take that back across the open border to Mexico to their family/dependents/community. We see that pretty much everywhere there’s an open border or some sort of economic cooperation zone.

So you’re actually arguing against a straw man then. You’ve invented this concept of “inhabitant”, as something less than a citizen, and not given any actual evidence for it’s existence, or valid justification for why it deserves less than a citizen.

I’ve read the whole thread, how do you think I got down here?

They take up space without contributing, that’s the difference between an inhabitant, and a citizen.

This is what you just said. Can you explain how I mischaracterized it? I feel like I just reworded this sentence pretty directly.

I play tons of multiplayer games with anti cheat. The ones that don’t run are the ones I wouldn’t even play on a Windows machine though

Hmm, maybe you have a point. Oh wait, I know of something that would help reduce those harmful effects!

Open borders

So you believe that when a foreigner comes into the country, they simply just exist and take up space? You don’t think they, you know, buy things and work?

Moms 10 times out of 10, no contest

Yeah I’m saying cars should be safer, not that KDE should kill you

No, I’ve never employed the aid of drugs or alcohol to obtain enthusiastic consent before engaging in sexual activity with any of my partners. If there’s no enthusiastic consent, I do not pursue sexual activity. Using drugs or alcohol as an aid in acquiring enthusiastic consent is predatory.

This situation isn’t comparable to consenting adults meeting at a bar. Providing drugs and alcohol to “entice” women into having sex is predatory behavior, whether or not the women partake consensually or not. Play devil’s advocate if you want, but I don’t think that behavior deserves defending/rationalizing/whatever you want to call it.

And you see how that makes it seem like you’re defending that behavior right? By sane-washing it? By making it seem like an appropriate “solution” instead of the bad behavior it is?

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying. I definitely recognize that gaming isn’t 100% perfect on Linux yet, and graphics drivers can still be a pain. I think both of those statements hold true on Windows though, and I don’t think I’d consider a gamer an “average” PC user. PC gaming is a niche hobby. A large niche maybe, but it’s not the main thing people use a PC for. So I think it’s a little unfair to point to gaming-related issues when trying to claim that Linux isn’t user-friendly.
