  • The correlation of combatant suicide is commonplace, but increased severely in periods of fascism and genocide. Most people aren't sociopaths but can still be persuaded, pressured, and/or conditioned to do terrible things. I'm surprised it's not higher.

  • Full-time Linux user & hobby dev here. I'll say it. Good proton support is better than a bad native edition.

    It's an annoyingly frequent occurrence: I often need to run a windows version of a game to fix issues or get better performance over a neglected native release. They're often started with good intentions or for good PR, but quickly realize the miniscule install base can't justify continued investment, especially with the incredibly high fragmentation / variability of Linux environments. Supporting proton is often a much lower bar to pass, and usually gives better results anyways when you have a limited budget for Linux.

  • A cat is fine too

  • I was wrong... He's just that cooked. Edited my post.

  • Thanks. I could probably write a rather lengthy essay on all the ways that's dumb.

  • Okay I can see how you read it that way. NP. Yes, he should be taken seriously, that's why I tried to emphasize with 'dangerous.'

    I've never heard the claim as stated in the article before. As for why I interpret it to be "stretching", maybe this person's reply and mine would help give context as to where I'm coming at this from.

  • Exactly this. The point he's seemingly making is a terrible point, but (effectively) misquoting him doesn't help in any way, it just gives them an easy echo-chamber-reinforced defense: they point out mischaracterizations as examples of "derangement" and shut down rather than engaging with the subject.

    His narrative is wrong and his point is stupid: that should be enough; no need to stretch it for a clickbait headline. But here we are...

  • I'm not excusing him, I'm saying the article is stretching what he said. The narrative he's pushing is wrong and the point he's trying to make is painfully stupid: but making shit up isn't a good rebuke.

  • This isn't about giving him the benefit of any doubt; this is about what he said vs. What he didn't say, and realizing that the man couldn't articulate a point to save his life.

    "Just stop"

  • Firstly, pointing out the community hardly seems relevant when nothing about this article fits with the theme.

    Secondly, fuck off then? I hate the guy. I'm dismissive of garbage writing of a garbage article from a garbage outlet. There are plenty of things to be concerned and angry about, but this isn't even worth the very letters I'm typing right now. If you don't like my comment: downvote, block, move on.

  • ... Yes? What does that have to do with the garbage article being garbage?

  • How? I literally just said he's an idiot. I'm a leftist... There's no cope, there's just facts (which are plenty bad on their own btw) and making shit up.

    This article is trash and the outlet is on my shitlist. I complete agree with the sentiment, but this isn't good journalism.

  • "Nothing bad can happen; only good happen" and "everything's computer" are both quotes from Trump during this term.

    If you try to take his words and phrasing at face value, only reading what is explicitly stated, you end up with nothing. The man speaks like a toddler quite often.

  • Yes if you interpret everything in a literal sense as explicitly stated... but that's not how most people speak and, as already established, his brain is swiss cheese.

    A cunning linguist, he isn't. Whenever he speaks, only good happen. Everything's not computer.

  • claimed that Americans need ID to buy groceries

    Except that's not what he said... He just mentioned places, not the product (groceries); so could easily be referring to alcohol or cigarettes.

    He's an out-of-touch dangerous idiot and his brain is Swiss cheese, but this is garbage reporting.


    EDIT: Nope. I was wrong. There's precedent.

    But he soon made clear he was actually talking about food, specifically mentioning “a box of cereal” in an interview three months later. In 2023, he falsely claimed identification was needed “if you buy a loaf of bread.”

  • Honestly this is just how I receive all my obituaries now

  • That's a lot of words when one could, instead, just look out a window and see the government-sanctioned brownshirts curb-stomping a mexican grandma

  • Introvert and extrovert are opposite ends of the same dimension / axis, so this doesn't make much sense to me at first glance. This seems to be about one's proclivity to group identity or a need for belonging?
