I’m in the same boat. What a shit show.

You wouldn’t download a car stranger’s fecal records.

That, and due to the relatively small nature of the fediverse, simply being in the new tab makes things likely to be seen for quite a bit, enough for ~8 users to come in and explain how backwards they’re being.

That’s just mean lol

I think you got into KSP ever so slightly before I did, but I remember buying it directly from them before the whole rigamarole of transferring it to steam.

Everything else I’m 99% on the same page on.

Though, I’ll very occasionally use mechjeb to handle accent to orbit from kerbin. Usually only if it is a big unstable rocket that needs lots of very fine adjustments. Something about seeing such a rocket fly stable is very satisfying.

Landing, transfers, docking, and accent from other moons/planets I always do myself though.

I recently played around with one of the warp bubble mods, it was a shit load of fun until the kraken ate my ship.

Every so often I have an urge to come back and play KSP for like a month straight. And it’s a blast every time.

Sometimes a nice single player sandbox is all you need.

Never used Facebook, never fucking will.

Pretty neat, but probably not something I’d buy

Same goes for the death of windows 10. I want me some cheap Linux boxes.

Been using this for a while now. For my needs, it’s the best distro out there.

I lose something. I lose a bit of my soul every time a job tries to make us take it or some other horoscope bullshit equivalent.

We could instead be out of billionaires in two months.

My understanding (and it could be incorrect) is that this is more of a definitional/philosophical thing.

Though you are more than welcome to read directly from the source Judith Butler who (to my understanding) first started this theory on gender:

Stealing the answer because I’m nowhere near as articulate on this matter:

The basic (and simplified) idea is that gender–what we think of as masculine and/or feminine–is performed in the ways we act, speak, dress, move, etc. and doesn’t really exist outside of that performance. We learn how to perform this way from dominant culture and conventions–what someone might (incorrectly) call “normal male” or “normal female” behavior. But these “normal” qualities (and genders themselves) don’t actually exist–rather, we are all repeatedly mimicking them and are rewarded for doing so (or punished for not doing so). We merely impersonate the qualities we’ve been taught match the gender we’ve been told we possess (like females being demure or males being aggressive) until those impersonations (and gender itself) become belief and seen as something natural and assumed.

Mergers should be illegal.

That’s not mutually exclusive with my point. So what?

The difference is self defense. As stated elsewhere in this thread, we should all agree its morally acceptable to kill nazis. With them, it’s either kill or be killed. If we didn’t step up against them in WW2 it would have been disastrous. And with CEOs, billionaires, and other business execs it’s no different. They’re actively killing everyone they can as quickly as they can because it makes them a quick buck.

So ultimately it boils down to self defense.

A state however gets no self defense out of capital punishment. It instead becomes a way to silence political opponents, innocents routinely are executed, and so on. The state cannot be granted the power to kill because it will abuse it. The people eventually need to defend themselves from the state when it is granted this power.

The violence of the oppressed is not the same as the violence of the oppressor.

Sure there is. History is littered with examples. Though a more full explanation of the solution is probably a violation of the TOS.
