This is what many Steam Deck users seem to pursue.

Personally, yes.

I don’t think it goes on sale, at least not for any significant amount. To be fair, it’s easily worth the full price, which is not something I often say.

Looks terrible, grating voice, not very smart… Hmm, who does that remind me of?

That’s the problem with the fediverse in general. It’s a lovely concept, but it’s hard to sell people on something that has 10% (if we’re being generous) of the content they’re used to.

Yes.

It’s a 196 thing, I think.

That’s behavior from games 30+ years ago.

Ah, the rose tinted glasses of nostalgia.

A better educated and less impoverished population is something, too.

I’ll pay for college for a large number of people and pay a lawyer to defend my action as not “giving it away.”

Safety isn’t a matter of taste. After a certain threshold maybe, but prior to that, it’s a matter of responsibility (and sometimes legal liability).

My wife actually does things on her days off. It really doesn’t mesh with my desire to just relax.

Depression and anxiety greatly hindered my educational goals, so I only have an associates degree in accounting. However, the woman I married has a master’s degree in computer science and a good, well-paying job. Our first child had medical issues requiring full-time care for several years, so I am now a stay-at-home dad to two kids, guiding them through homeschool.

If sexuality is a spectrum, he’s definitely not firmly on the hetero end.

Your heart is in the right place, but that’s not exactly a reasonable comparison. Few other surgeries, even elective ones, permanently remove your ability to do something as major as procreation.

People should have the option to have their tubes tied without judgement, but it is not as simple a decision as repairing a damaged part of the body.

My understanding is that doctors often don’t just question but often refuse if they think the person should not do it. To be clear, that refusal is generally based on personal opinion, not for medical reasons.

That about sums it up, yeah. My beliefs aren’t radical, but my thoughts on the means that should be taken to realize them are becoming more radical.

People will bitch about anything.

For sure, but I don’t know about that phrasing…
