Yeah, but then you see that the discussion is doomed because of where it’s happening.
I’m just some guy, you know.

Nah. Relying on the ACA, and voting for people who want to abolish it is a leopards eating faces situation.
The guy in this meme is wrong because he’s not paying attention to the wider pressures of society, and the needs of the people he’s talking to, when those people just want a better system.
He disagrees with the woman demanding better ethical practices from Apple because she uses an Apple product, but the reality is that it is difficult to navigate modern society without a smartphone, and there’s pretty much no brand that doesn’t have some ethical failings in their supply chain. It’s not hypocrisy to point out a systemic issue, and want to see it resolved, if your participation is unavoidable.
He disagrees with the man wanting seatbelts for his car, because he bought a car without them. Wanting greater safety features for the machinery you regularly operate is pragmatic, not hypocritical. Seeing a problem and offering a solution is a productive thing to do.
But relying on the ACA for access to healthcare, and then voting to have the ACA dismantled with absolutely no plan on how to replace it, essentially denying millions of Americans, including themselves, access to healthcare? That’s just fucking insane. There’s no call for a better system. There’s no suggestion for how to do things differently. Just a call to tear down a system that people rely on for their health.
If you think that we ought to hear the Republicans out on their anti-Healthcare agenda, or that people who rely on the ACA aren’t voting against their own interests when they vote Republican, you’re not paying attention to what’s at stake.
First of all, that analysis you posted is not particularly scientific, and there’s an abundance of evidence that vegan diets hurt cats.
Second, once you’re getting into arguments about “synthetic nutrients”, it’s pretty clear that you don’t actually know how animals nutrition works, and probably shouldn’t have a pet at all if you don’t know how to keep one without making it suffer due to malnutrition.
Not sure why you’re vegan, but it certainly isn’t because you care about the well-being of animals…
It needs overrides, because it regularly colors text inputs dark gray with black text. I have to turn it off for Salesforce, which has no native dark mode, when ideally I would just override the background color for text boxes…
The worst part about light sensitivity and dark mode is that the closer you get to 100% dark mode coverage, without actually reaching 100%, the more painful and jarring every exception is.

You can change the default search provider, so you actually can escape.
So Firefox, Chromium, or closed-source components…
Pointing out racist caricatures even when there aren’t any makes you look racist.

Literally the only reason I dual booted was for gaming. Thanks to Proton, I never touch Windows ever. It’s great.
Unironically yes. This is how long term marketing works.
Subway was founded in 1965.
The “$5 Footlong” was introduced in 2008.
The cost of a footlong tripled in 16 years.
You would think a business that has been in operation for 43 years at the time would understand that prices change over time, and creating a slogan that locks a single era’s price into people’s collective consciousness would be a bad idea long-term.
The “$5 footlong” campaign was a terrible idea, because it just makes consumers aware of how overpriced fast food is today.

Good lord dude, just stop talking. You clearly have enough English literacy to write several paragraphs of weird pedophile apologia every time, when the reality is you already said “if everyone consents” in reference to a 14 year old girl. You also said you “don’t care” if children are married off to adults against their will.
You keep talking about the what’s “legal” and what’s “allowed”, in regards to something most people consider rape. It’s incredibly telling how little the victims of sex abuse actually mean to you.
The things you believe are disgusting, and you can’t argue it away. You already told us who you are, and we believe you.
Man, I just tag people who defend pedophilia elsewhere and roast them over it because the Lemmy community deserves to know who the predators are.
This guy seems like he’s basically been practicing this debate for a while. Big “I know every State’s age-of-consent” energy…

It’s still optional, they just chose poorly.
