So the president felt more responsibility to his nation than to the slaves, at a time where slavery was much less frowned upon than today. I have a hard time retroactively faulting him for that. If he did the right thing for the wrong reasons, is it not still the right thing to do?

Feel free to volunteer for sterilization

Am not a conservative myself, but thinking back i never felt in incompetent and hostile political hands when she was in charge. She didnt do what i wanted her to, but i do believe that she meant well for the country and people. Crazy how the absence of madness can make such a boring politician appeal to my nostalgia.

Thats a free market reason not to buy them, but not what is happening. The EU arming initiative stipulates specifically that x% of the procurement must be from EU producers, no? Not free market then.

Uhm, no. The EU specifically excluding providers based on their location is very much not the free market at work.

(They can get fucked tho, euro products all the way baby)

I can sort of see your point, but it also sounds a little like “oh you enjoy any hobby or activity not strictly related to your survival? Well fuck you then, there are people starving”.

Could you elaborate on your process/give me a link to the guide you use(d)?

I would love to be able to mod certain games again.

I find it very difficult to run windows programs that don’t have an automatic steam/lutris compatibility setup but require manual configuration. Havent had any luck getting stuff like game/map editors or obscure modding tools to run so far.

Aside from that i am pretty fine, excluding the keyring app. Wish there was an alternative because it never works for saving or providing login data any more.

It was, but the ticket had been an overwhelming success that saw many people use the train that would use their car before. So afterwards by popular demand similar programs were launched, but ultimately we are a car country ruled by out of touch dipshits, as everywhere else, so we divest from the good and reasonable thing and instead double down on cars, again.

Okay first of all, I’m a lifelong vegetarian german.

Second of all, Mettwurst is most definitely not a qualifier to mean “meat sausage”, it is a certain type of sausage like Frankfurter or Wiener Würstchen.

When people say Wurst or Würstchen it is still understood as a meat sausage unless additional qualifiers are added such as veggie. Sad as it is.

Okay my friend, lets start at the beginning:

• someone asks, in a thread about misogyny, why the british government doesnt instead do something trans related first before caring about the cis women
• i respond with the most common and pragmatic political reasons not to do so
• some twat accuses me of being a bigot over this
• i point out that i merely responded
• the twat doubles down on hostile accusations
• we are here 👈

Can we move on now?

Leave it to lemmy to read everything in the most antagonistic way possible. Really getting fucking tired of this place

Are you trying to prove me right? Lmao

Since i apparently need to justify every fucking grammar choice i made on the shitter, i opted for the terms “trans people” and “women” as a matter of expediency and under the assumption the reader would be making a good faith effort to interpret the words as context suggests.

Also, way to ignore entirely what i said for an opportunity to bitch about phrasing.

Okay in case this was not entirely clear, this isnt my opinion, supposedly evident from the term devils advocate. I was merely illustrating the thought processes involved in making women a bigger political priority than trans people.

Leave it to lemmy to read everything in the most antagonistic way possible. Really getting fucking tired of this place

Devils advocate here:

• trans people are far, far fewer
• trans people are a lot less socially accepted
• trans people are not objectively required for the continued existence of a society and/or country
• trans people make for great social lightning rods because they are so controversial

As for the royal pervert, you know as well as i that nothing will happen in that regard. The man is literally royalty.

I mean, vpns have additional value by allowing people to circumvent geoblocks, possibly local censorship, and in general the whole nonsense tied to access based on where you are and what nationality you have.

Shower in the morning, sink in the evening

Pros:

• if you are in a rush you can save time by scrubbing yourself and brushing simultaneously
• any spills are washed away immediately, leaves the sink clean of toothpaste splatter
• you get to stand under the nice warm water for a few extra minutes instead of standing in front of the sink, staring at your tired self in the mirror while doing your brushing regimen

Cons:

• apparently women don’t really care for the concept so be aware of that lol

Fuck lact with a cactus. It underclocked my GPU without any doing on my part and would only leave it to work properly after i completely wiped and reinstalled my system without lact.

Unless you are some really obsessive tinkerer i feel fucking around with the clock speeds (especially when underclocking) really isnt worth it.

My client doesn’t show these things, and i’m honestly not interested enough in the matter to read someones bio to put their odd form of expression into context, even if it would show them.

For the sake of efficient communication i would suggest adjusting either by putting that context in your comment or by expressing yourself more clearly.

Who is “we” in this?
