that seems like a feature, not a bug

If a car company in Germany complemented Hitler on his paintings, would it be still fine to buy their cars? And what if they were a really great car company and only mentioned how cool Hitler’s paintings were and nothing else?

I sort of feel like if I am cool with Proton’s statement, then I also am cool with trans people and Latino people and Gazan people being treated poorly, and I’m not actually cool with that.

It’s unfortunate, because despite Proton not accepting XMR and logging IPs when they promised they wouldn’t and doing other questionable practices, they have a lot of great services. But now, it’s like if I’m using their services, I’m sort of spitting on the grave of every trans person who ended their life out of shame, spitting on the grave of every dead Gazan who simply didn’t want to die, and being disrespectful to all the cool Latinos out there who have been degraded simply out of racism.

:-(

there is a large correlation between atheism and IQ

stupid people are unable to discern whether science or The Bible is correct. This applies to other religious books as well.

One the one hand, 99.9 percent of scientists say the earth is round, on the other hand this really old book says it’s flat. If you are surrounded by believers and are stupid, you may actually lack the intellectual ability to discern which information is more likely to be true.

on occasion, intelligent people may be choosing to be delusional, letting these delusions protect them from the harsh realities of nature.

Me months ago: “the NRA matters and feminism matters and the solution is making sure women have more and larger guns and better tactical training.”

Everyone back then was like “no guns are bad!” and now suddenly, look who is seeing the light.

Trans people should not be armed. Trans people should be given vouchers to buy large amounts of weapons so they can be HEAVILY armed and also should be given subsidized weapons training by the government.

When I meet a trans women, I want to admire her dress and know she has excellent tactical training.

We need to stop seeing gun rights as a left or right issue and appreciate the fact that guns are anti-tyranny. The left’s constant anti-stance alienates a huge number of working class people as well. The problem with any sort of “reasonable restrictions” is the government always wants more, more regulation, more rules, and little by little it gets harder for the average guy or gal or intersex person. Liberals need to stop alienating middle America with this anti-gun stuff so we can protect trans people.

oh he knows.

I’ve missed extremely discounted sales for services I like and have been frustrated about it before. It seems fine for protonvpn to do this just once but the should also just add a toggle.

Claiming Mr. O’Neill’s post is “weird” is actually wildly biphobic.

Mr. O’Neill is saying in a world of no social media they would be unable to fend for themselves, hunt, or exist, and would all have to be his harem of subjugated male wives. It also could be accurate: we don’t know the sexual orientation of these young men, they could possibly enjoy being subjugated to that man (I know I would), and since they are voting for Harris they are less likely to be hunters and so perhaps they would need the protection and hunting skills of a large alpha man like that in a post-apocalyptic post-social media society.

What if this guy isn’t weird and it’s the people reacting who are weird? Just because someone is a Republican because they are pro-gun and pro-small government doesn’t mean biphobia is suddenly acceptable.

Finally! Someone who understands! If it’s not something we can understand, it’s not really math.

We need to decide democratically what science is, with everyone getting a fair vote, so wasteful science like this can finally be stopped.

I don’t understand this and therefore it’s stupid and pointless. Fuck you math elitist assholes with your so-called “large” prime numbers spending billions of dollars that could be used to make my life better. I don’t comprehend this at all and there it does not matter. The end.

i think there should be zero regulations on POC owning guns and all POC should have a natural right to ownership

the right to bear arms exists to protect people from tyrants

the whole premise of this right is that we can’t trust the government to keep our liberty safe because they could become the tyrants. if one day some religious idiot comes into power who doesn’t want women learning math, you may end up glad that conservatives have made it easier for women to fight for their liberty by refusing to allow these rights to be eroded
