  • Oh, I actually meant Windows at home. Windows at work is definitely problematic.

    But at home, for my own stuff, Windows just works, with zero setup or maintenance hassle. I used to do the whole Linux thing, had set up dual boot (again for games that only work on Windows ) it was not only not fun, what was I getting out of it? I found myself not even booting to Linux because it literally was not providing me with anything I needed.

  • Unironically me as an IT professional who uses Windows. It just works. I have to fuck around with all that shit all day, I don't want to go home and do it too.

  • You can make this law work by putting requirements on it, such as to an audience or whatever. And then it's no different than being charged for shouting bomb or fire. Two lies you CAN be charged for.

  • I'm one of those. I don't know if you realize or not, but there are a stupid number of examples of rich people commiting rather horrible crimes and never seeing jail.

    I'm absolutely all for Trump facing consequences. But I'll believe it when I see it. This country is made for the rich.

  • People like this love when their elitist or exclusionary opinions are countered by the masses. Just makes them feel even better. Source, I was one of them in my younger days.

  • For the love of God please just say latinos. You don't need to police our language.

    Latines is better than Latinx which is a monstrous perversion, but spanish is just fine the way it is.

    Yes, Israel Is an Apartheid State. That Means It’s A Racist One, Too.
  • Yeah I'm gonna distance myself from you here. I'm not pro Israel. They have done and continue to do some horrible shit and I've seen first hand the effects of that. The unfiltered hatred some people there possess shocked me. They did not lose the public relations war, their actions alone have made their public relations what it is.

    I was just advocating for nuance and honesty.

    Yes, Israel Is an Apartheid State. That Means It’s A Racist One, Too.
  • You're getting downvoted but you're not wrong. I lived in Israel for 4 years and I was in an Arab neighborhood. They were mostly christian, but they were all pre-israel descendants and they had all the same rights as anyone else.

    I'm super against what the government of Israel does, but apartheid just doesn't fit.

    I have also lived in south Africa, post apartheid but close enough that I'm very familiar with what it really was.

    I see why apartheid is used, in some ways it is descriptive and useful but it ignores a lot and is ultimately inaccurate like you say.

  • Question, do these bodies have teeth? And if so would these teeth exist without the EU?

    My understanding of the EU is that the only thing they can really do to coerce uncooperative members is threaten to revoke membership.

    So, if these bodies are not EU, and it wants to impose a sanction against a member nation, by what mechanism can it enforce that?

    Just wondering.

  • Reas this again like someone else wrote it. It's condescending and patronizing. You're not better than these people you judge.

    People from the "hotter" regions, how do you deal with the heat?
  • Ever since I started riding (motorcycles) I don't even really notice it anymore. Anything less hot than "armored jacket and helmet under the sun" just doesn't register as hot anymore
