But it’s not about whether you’re hurting Patel’s feelings, it’s about whether you’re hurting the feelings of other people who might have a similar condition. The vast majority of people who will see this meme are not Nazis.

If there are leaks, I’m sure you can find a source for them and share with the class.

You’ll need to provide sources for any of those claims. Ofc we should be skeptical of anything a corporation says, but Discord explicitly said they don’t use messages for age verification: https://discord.com/safety/how-discord-is-building-safer-experiences-for-teens. I’d be hard-pressed to believe that if that weren’t true there would be leaks.

But not voting, or voting for fascists, absolutely will never fix anything.

I think there are more accelerationists on this platform than you might realize.

I didn’t say Carnegie wasn’t a massive asshole. You’re purposefully misreading my statements here.

It takes all of maybe an hour to go vote. The current administration is literally secret policing people off the streets and letting them rot and die in horrendous conditions. That’s likely very likely to stop now, but we’ll see.

The reality is that you’re just too intellectually lazy to investigate the differences between the parties. It’s not great that the choices are center-right and far-right, but center-right is objectively better than far-right if you’re a left-winger and not an accelerationist. Your lack of voting has a measurable, negative impact on the lives of other people, and you know it.

I mean, you can stop engaging any time you’d like, as well.

I can easily explain why fascism is bad to a Nazi. It would eventually ground out at some kind of fundamental difference in our world views. You could do the same here if you cared to, but you don’t.

The reality is that you don’t actually have a moral perspective here. You don’t actually have a problem with Corgan’s actions, you have a problem with his wife and enjoy slut shaming her. That’s the real reason white knights like you jump onto these posts and virtue signal for everyone. “Oh, the poor adult woman can’t possibly think for herself. She’s clearly a victim and a prostitute who is selling her body for access to wealth and power.” And then you’ll ofc, rightly, go on to defend sex workers.

You’re a fucking joke, bud. Zero critical thinking skills. Just whine and cry to everyone else that the mean Internet person is making valid points that you’re too fucking stupid to refute on your own.

So how old does a woman need to be in order to make decisions for herself? 25? 30? If your moral convictions here are so strong, then elucidate them.

I mean, sure, but those monied interests are in favor of secret police and mass surveillance. The other monied interests seem at least moderately sane. Like, I’m not gonna dome Mark Cuban or anything, but he’s a significantly less shitty person than Musk or Zuck. Andrew Carnegie built a shit-ton of libraries. I’d rather have us all involved in making those decisions, but I’ll take a barely-benevolent billionaire over the a sadistic dystopian nightmare one any day.

So, anyone who doesn’t hold the same opinion as you is a pervert and fan of sex trafficking. I see.

You’ll be shocked to learn that some 19-year old women can actually think for themselves. Gasp! And then 13 years later when they’re married to that person with children, would you tell a 32-year old woman with children that she was groomed? You don’t think she could have realized that at some point in the last decade-plus? Maybe she understood exactly what she was doing at the time and still does today.

Andrew Tate is a sex trafficker. Billy Corgan is a libertarian asshole. I personally have no desire to date someone that much younger than myself, though I have dated someone that much older than me and never felt “taken advantage” of.

But two consenting adults should be allowed to have a romantic relationship. I mean, where do you draw the line, exactly? Is 35 and 25 perverted? 35 and 24? How far do we go? Does it matter that the older person is a man? If it’s always the case that a 19-year old dating a 44-year old is a manipulative relationship, then it should be codified and made illegal, right? And if that’s not the case, then who the fuck are you to judge these people?

There’s no conspiracy here. You just can’t stand that someone would dare to question your claptrap and deprive you of precious Internet points.

If your daughter meets someone who makes her happy, shouldn’t you just be happy for her? You sound exactly like a conservative saying “Imagine if your daughter came home with a woman!” Maybe it’s not about you.

The internet used to be fun. Now everything is a chore and nobody does anything unless they feel like they can make a profit off of it.

I mean, that’s capitalism. It was inevitable. A similar fate will befall Lemmy at some point, so enjoy it while you can.

You can run proton without Steam.

And 2048 was a direct ripoff of Threes! That’s not a new problem, but the quantity is likely to become absurd.

It can happen with modern cards, but it’s much less likely. The problem with driving a car with reliability issues is that it can be dangerous for other drivers. And if you need a vehicle on a limited budget, for the price of a junker 70s vette you can buy a 20-year old civic that will likely be much more reliable.

I mean, a bike is somewhat different problem than a car though. If your bike breaks down while you’re riding it, you’re typically not putting other people in danger and/or inconveniencing them. If your car breaks down while you’re driving it, you might very well put other people at risk and/or inconvenience them.

Yeah, but I bet you don’t sail to work.

I mean, did it ever really leave?

Nit: That that key doesn’t technically encrypt traffic, if I understand correctly. It’s used to verify the identify of a website. So someone with this private key can’t directly read internet traffic. They can set up a man-in-the-middle attack, but they’d also have to compromise DNS to pull it off.
