I usually try to until the other person shows me that there’s no reason to be.

Conservatives and conservative dogs, proudly shitting themselves and expecting everyone else to deal with the smell.

You sure as fuck had a ton to say to all the other people who shot you down.

I’m making sure you understand just how much more energy went into refuting your bullshit than it took for you to say it. No, simply walking away from the dumpster fire you set isn’t good enough - jackass.

Hey, why didn’t you respond to the person who posted the side by side comparisons of Hitler and Musks salutes?

Fucking coward.

Dude, every single comment you have in this thread is downvoted. Downvotes and upvotes don’t mean anything other than people think you’re contributing positively or negatively to a discussion. Someone like you calling me lost is a joke.

Ok, I’m tagging you as a Nazi. Dude, outright white supremacist groups adopted and immediately started performing the exact same kind of salute.

You are either a total fucking dipshit or you’re a bad actor. Either way, fuck off back to Reddit.

Guy goes out of his way to defend Musk, turns around with ‘BuT AcKsHuAlLy I hAtE mUsK! cHeCkMaTe LoSeRs!’

I’ll be reminding you of this conversation if I see you commenting again.

Don’t bother deleting or editing your messages, I’ve already got them screenshot and saved.

Yes, the way a Nazi would - now shut the fuck up about it not being a Nazi salute.

Maybe, maybe this is actually stochastic terrorism being carried out by MAGA themselves.

Think about it, their plan is to declare martial law - right? Conservatives already hate EVs, they think that Trump is a ‘good’ billionaire while billionaires like Gates are ‘bad’ billionaires - I don’t think it would take much to make Musk out to be a ‘bad’ billionaire.

Idk if this is as clear as ‘good guys vs bad guys’ - these are freedom fighters, but it’s never been clearer that a lot of people are divided on what ‘free’ actually means. You shouldn’t assume that the people doing this are actually on your side.

No, no.

We have advanced compost and agricultural strategies to employ here.

Let’s compost their bodies, use them to fertilize fruit trees!

To be fair, these are Apple users we’re talking about. They uhh… kind of epitomize rampant American consumerism.

Isn’t that the problem though? Pandering by creating overly masculine women doing things that men traditionally do?

Idk, maybe I’m over simplifying it - but I’ve known a decent amount of sexists that love Alien. I don’t think she was overly masculine, nor do I think her role was overly masculine. Idk.

I think it really depends on why the story has a female lead.

I think Alien is a good example, Ripley could have been male and it really wouldn’t have changed the plot that much. If I’m not mistaken Ripley actually was male at one point in the movies writing.

Doesn’t matter that the shift happened, it happened, Sigourney Weaver fucking smashed it out of the park and the rest is history.

If the story is good and happens to have a female lead, I don’t think people are actually against it. The Menu is the first movie to come to mind, I don’t think anyone said anything about the lead in that being female (although being a lead in an ensemble cast with damn near equivalent amounts of screen time is kind of meaningless). I think what people are against is blatant pandering because it usually indicates that the product is poor.

Edit: this is my limited, anecdotally rooted opinion. There are probably a decent amount of people who will just not watch a female lead. I’ve known women who won’t watch something or play a video game without a female lead or the ability to create a female character.

It’s the age old argument of “It’s not Communism that’s bad, it’s the human element.”

Speaking as if any system created by humans will ever be free of the human element, which is of course faulty logic.

Edit:

The downvote button is not an ‘I don’t like this’ button, trogs. Read the rules.

Weak bladders beware, with this one trick you will wake up early. Not the way you want.

So you’re tech savvy and you use AI as it should be - like a tool. Not a magic genie that will spit out code for you.

Weird, seems like it’s completely related to me.

I think that from your standpoint, the small business owner, it makes sense to do this.

I think the corporate demons pulling the strings of these massive companies love, and I mean love, when people look at them like you.

Well I’m pretty sure @krolden has you on principle considering the kind of person Dotcom is.

For the budding gardeners who might see this, do not use dogshit as fertilizer for the plants you eat.
