So the concept of a space designated for one thing doesn't make any sense to you? Like at all?

Reverse umbrellas are the best. Hands down.

I mean, I generally agree with your assessment, but elite dangerous? I love Elite, but it is not a good game. Best thing to come from Elite Dangerous is the community.

Is it just me or is this the second Mac/apple vulnerability to come out this week?

Emphasis on "Supposed to"

Uh, yes. They can.

I was more in favor of Yang, tbh. Dude had some forward-thinking ideas

You know, the nice thing about lemmy is when someone makes an ass of themselves, a substantially larger portion of the community gets to see it. Like you are right now.

That's fair, I wasn't giving you the benefit of the doubt, that's my bad

Lol does the horse retreat count as a victory?

You know, the beautiful thing about being a society is we can all just agree to regulate them. I think that's called a government.

Goootcha, I was thinking the context was classical liberals who lean more right.

I get the feeling I'm mixing my definitions. In my mind liberals are generally allies of progressives and leftists, no?

Whataboutism means nothing at this point. Risk analysis? Whataboutism. Considering consequences? Whataboutism.

"Informal" means it's not actually a fallacy. Prooooobably because people use it way outside of its definition to dismiss arguments they don't like because they have not thought through whatever they are arguing about.

Hard to be flexible when the whole schtick of the right wing is to actively be bad people

Honestly, I was one of those people. Eventually, I realized I wasn't happy because the algorithm found that I responded to a specific narrative and would not stop showing it to me no matter how hard I tried to remove it from my feed. I don't like the person I become when I think that way, and the algorithm does not care. I had to just uninstall TikTok to be free of that toxic mindset.

Btw the mindset is incel-flavored misogyny. TikTok nearly re-radicalized me in the worst possible way.

You must've forgotten when I said you're being facetious. Bad faith, goodbye :)

Lol don't get facetious with me. You and I both know you don't run from the cops, regardless of your feelings about them. If you're detained, for instance, by a cop with a gun, then you're not free to go. You know this, you're just being an asshole.

The utter god-complex some of these people have

As much as I loved this movie (it was my first exposure to trek at all, which franchise has ultimately made me a better person), I hate that Abrams does what he does. His influence tends to just ruin things.
